The Romanoff — Gem Dealer and Modern Jeweller

Sourcing

Find the stone

We source exceptional gems in Thailand, Sri Lanka, India and Colombia — markets we have walked for more than two decades, among buyers, cutters and miners we trust by name.

Every stone is selected in person and judged to gemmological standards before it is ever offered to you. We buy the way we have always bought: slowly, at the source, from families who have worked these mines for generations.

Your story, your budget and the character you are searching for guide the hunt. When the right stone appears, we secure it — and the journey of your jewel begins.

Design

Drawn around you

Leading Italian and European designers translate your ideas into sketches, refining the shape, setting and smallest details with you.

Craft

Made by hand

In our workshops in London, Valenza and Milan, master goldsmiths bring the drawings to life — milling, setting and polishing by hand, one jewel at a time.

Valenza is where our Italian tradition lives: benches where gold has been worked since the 1700s, setters who mount each stone as if it were the only one. In London, your jewel receives its final shape and finish.

Every piece is checked against its design, stone by stone, until it matches the drawing — and then a little beyond it. Nothing leaves the workshop until it is right, down to the last polish.
