Apsara is a wholesale company trading in fine quality coloured gems since 1987. We are based in Hatton Garden, London.

We sell all kinds of coloured gems specialising in rubies and sapphires. We also sell other coloured gems including tourmalines, garnets, spinels, zircons, opals plus many others.

We sell both treated and untreated gems. For many decades, most rubies and sapphires on the market have undergone heat treatment. Some heat treatments also involve adding fillers or dyes. We do not sell filled or dyed gems. Some gems like tanzanite and zircons are routinely heat-treated to produce the colours you see today.

Apsara company policy is full disclosure of any treatment that may have been applied to a gem. We inspect each gem for any evidence of treatment and disclose accordingly. We are happy to submit gems to be tested in an independent laboratory for a full gemmological report.

Some of our stones have previously been tested and come with reports. Those presently without a report can be tested by an independent lab as required.

We do not sell synthetic, man-made gems. We do not sell imitation gems. All our gems are natural gems produced by nature.

Yes, we have other gems available, so if you can't find what you are looking for, get in touch. We do try to update our site as regularly as possible!

Sadly no. In recent years with all the regulations and costs involved, it has become too difficult to export to countries outside the UK.
