What is a Gemsbrokers trading office?
Gemsbrokers trading offices provide gemstone or precious stone buyers and
sellers with space for free transacting in cash. New York and Tel Aviv diamond
stock exchanges are well known for offering such spaces, but few people know that spaces like
these for trading gemstones exist in Thailand and India.
What professional services are guaranteed by Gemsbrokers?
Gemsbrokers offer on-site professional testing services and guarantees the
authenticity of the gems transacted in our offices. If we have any doubt, we will have the stone checked by a major laboratory. If by mistake a synthetic
gem (or any other type of fraudulent merchandise, with the exception of stable
thermal treatments on authentic gems) passes through the hands of our testing
experts without being detected, the buyer has a period of three months to return
the stone. He will be reimbursed through the Manager of the trading office and
heavy charges will be brought against the broker. Included of course in the Gemsbrokers guarantee is the confidentiality of the transactions.
Who is the owner?
The owner is the gem’s legal owner. When an owner wants to sell a
gem, a broker is asked to research the market and find the best buyer for it.
The broker is responsible for the confidentiality of the transaction on behalf
of the owner. The owner of the gem is usually a gem-cutter or a merchant, but
can be anybody, including the broker himself.
How is the broker paid?
The owner pays the broker a percentage of the selling price.
How trading offices are paid ?
The owner pays the trading office a small percentage of the selling
price
Why brokers take their business to Gemsbrokers?
Gemsbrokers guarantees that brokers are paid immediately in order to encourage
the sale of quality products at reasonable prices.
How much money should I spend in a trading office?
There is no minimum amount but you must take into consideration your expenses in reaching trading offices, which are included in your cost price.
What formalities are required to bring these stones in my country ?
Exportation of polished stones from countries hosting a Gemsbrokers trading
office is free. For importation in your country, please consult your customs
office.
What is the Gemsbrokers news for?
The Gemsbrokers on-line news constitutes a gemstone market research database. The fluctuations of supply and demand on these markets allow us to read
in real-time the political situation of certain countries, and to anticipate
possibles changes.
Example 1: The study of the market for rubies in the beginning of
the 90’s showed with precision the existence of frictions between the
Red Khmers and the central government in Kampuchea (in former Cambodia),
as well as the increase in the military capacity of the Vietnamese army.
Example 2 : The observation of the fluctuations
in Afghan gems like lapis, Panjshir emeralds, and Nouristan tourmalines made
it easier to distinguish the political and economic frontiers inside that country.
Example 3 : Observing the market for tourmalines
and mandarin garnets coming from Nigeria can help verify and localize separatist
tensions in that country.
