We're happy to help

Built on a deep respect for the mining communities of Zambia, Kenya, and Malawi, VirtuGem keeps all mining, trading, and manufacturing in the same country of origin to support local economies and fairtrade markets. This localizes the economic benefits while integrating and empowering people at every step of the process. VirtuGems' holistic approach to empowering mining communities benefits each person that touches your gemstone, from mine to market.

Our ever-evolving collection of Virtu gems are offered in a variety of boundary-pushing shapes such as octagon, shield, and modified versions of traditional cuts like emerald, radiant, and cushion. Each Virtu gem features a distinctive color that ranges in hue from bold, bubblegum pink to lush green – and everything in between. Pair your Virtu gem with a responsibly sourced Brilliant Earth setting to create a stunning, one-of-a-kind design.
