We differ from other fine jewellery designers because Eva Gems & Jewels is an ode to the stone. The coloured gemstone. In all its hues, tones and nuances.

Gems have the power to define us. A bold look, a chic style – the right colour jewel creates a magnetic aura unmatched by any diamond. That’s because gems dare to make a statement. They dare to show our true selves, no matter the colour, and no matter the setting.

You only need to find the coloured stone that tells your story.

From gem curation to jewellery creation…

Exceptional journeys of origin
Each of our coloured gemstones is unique, and they took a long journey to get to you. Mostly gathered in Bangkok, responsibly sourced from faraway places like Tanzania, Mozambique, Ceylon (today’s Sri Lanka), Burma (today’s Burma) and Madagascar, we are the last leg of that journey.

Access to the inaccessible
You may not have heard of all the stones we use in our pieces as they are often from younger mining regions. This means they lack the decade or even centuries-long marketing which the classic stones have had – such as the diamond, ruby, blue sapphire and emerald! These “young” gemstones however, are considered the new precious gems, and are also used by beloved high jewellery houses across the world.

It’s all in the details
We produce fine jewellery that is handcrafted with care by world-class artisans in Bangkok and London. Every fine nuance is considered, down to the 18K gold tulip earring backings, a small homage to Eva’s native Holland.

Limited edition collections
We believe in curating small collections where each gem is of excellent quality and a rare colour that cannot be found anywhere else. We personally hand-pick these gemstones for you at the trade source – but without the middleman (and price!).

My approach to fine jewellery is about breaking with tradition. It’s about blindingly bright coloured jewels (not diamonds), indulging in yummy, delicious stones when and where one wishes. My personal treasures don’t need permission or an occasion to wear! It’s about the thrill of discovery, unprecedented access to rare stones and the adventure of finding and revealing my true self.

I’ve seen the right gem on the right woman reveal the magnetic human being that she always was. It’s not just fashion. It’s not just style. It’s being bold, a little rebellious, and willing to let the world see you. It’s the same experience I went through myself a few years ago…

Before becoming a certified gemologist, I worked as an international corporate lawyer for an American multinational in Geneva and in my native Holland. And while I loved my job, I missed being creative and so, inspired by the Italian & French joie de vivre, fashion and coloured gemstone jewellery from my youth, I decided to become an expert and study gemology in Bangkok, the global trade hub for coloured gems. You know, the usual path.
