Loose Gemstone Services
Our Specialist Gemstone Sourcing Service
At Christine Sadler, we believe the journey of creating a bespoke piece of jewellery begins with the perfect gemstone. Whether you are dreaming of a specific diamond cut or a rare, vibrant sapphire, our sourcing service is designed to bring the world’s finest stones to your fingertips.
How It Works: A Collaborative Journey
Creating a unique piece of jewellery is a partnership. We don’t just find a stone; we find your stone.
The Design Consultation
We begin by discussing your vision, whether it’s for a bespoke engagement ring or a commemorative commission.
Expert Sourcing
We use our global network of ethical suppliers to find gemstones that meet your exact specifications. We specialise in unusual shapes—from architectural Shield and Hexagonal cuts to the intricate brilliance of a Portuguese cut diamond.
The Selection Process
We will present you with a curated selection of stones. You can view high-definition videos and photographs from the comfort of your home, or visit our studio to see them in person and experience their true fire and colour.

Your Final Choice
Once you have fallen in love with a specific stone, we move forward to integrate it into your unique, handcrafted design.
A Personalised Approach to Diamonds
While many online retailers offer automated lists of thousands of diamonds, these are often just remote databases shared by many different shops. Other jewellers may hold their own stock and feel pressured to sell you what they already have on their shelves.
At Christine Sadler, our approach is entirely different. We do not "push" old stock, nor do we ask you to choose from a list of stones we haven't seen.

Sourcing Without Obligation
Whether you are looking for natural diamonds or lab-grown diamonds, we source specifically for your commission.
Expert Selection
We hand-pick a curated selection of stones on approbation from our trusted network of global gemstone dealers and master cutters.
The Best of Both Worlds
This allows us to bring high-quality stones into our studio specifically for you to view, either in person or via high-resolution video
No Pressure
Until you make your final choice, there is no obligation for you to select one of them if it isn’t absolutely perfect. We can simply return them to the dealer and continue the search.
Anniversaries
Present a vibrant Ruby for a 40th anniversary or an Emerald for a 20th. This allows you to give a stunning physical gift on the day, followed by the shared experience of visiting our studio together to design the final ring or pendant. It takes the guesswork out of the process and ensures she receives a piece she will truly cherish.
New Arrivals
A loose gemstone is a beautiful way to mark the birth of a child. Many parents choose a birthstone to be kept safely and then brought to us years later to be crafted into a signature piece for a 21st birthday.
