Gemrock Inaugural Auction
Rishabh Tongya, Founder and Chairman, Gemrock is no stranger to the world of colour gemstones. Having had an illustrious background in gemstone cutting and polishing, along with Diacolor, a fine and contemporary jewellery brand under his portfolio, establishing a colour gemstone mining business was an organic progression. "We are confident about a consistent supply of high-quality rubies from our mine, and of course, colour gemstone mining is one of the most lucrative sectors in the jewellery industry today as the demand for top-quality stones is on an incline," says Tongya.
Gemrock, the leading colour gemstone mining company, announced the success of its inaugural auction, held between October 3 and October 7, 2022, in Bangkok, with buyers from 56 companies showing keen interest in the inventory that was on offer.
The five-day auction witnessed a robust sentiment with buyers expressing great interest in the inventory that was on offer. As many as 45 international companies participated in the event -- the viewing, which was divided into 74 schedules, had over 100,000 carats of rough rubies.
Some of the finest gem-quality rubies from the renowned Montepuez ruby district were on display. A wide range of rough inventory in various shades of red, ranging from dark red to pinkish-red, as well as rubies with purple and orange tones, was on offer at this tender. This inaugural tender was a milestone event, as it set the stage for Gemrock as one of the leading suppliers of colour gemstones to the world.
