EMERALD OPERATIONS

Our emerald mines in Swat

Swat is the origin of Javaaz's emeralds. Our mines in this part of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa provide the rough material at the centre of our emerald offering.

The journey begins with recovery. Sorting and assessment then help us prepare the material as commercial parcels, selected individual stones or exceptional pieces when suitable discoveries are made.

Explore the emeralds that connect this source with the wider gemstone market.

PERIDOT OPERATIONS

Our peridot mines in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa

Javaaz's peridot also comes from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Our mines provide the rough stones offered through our peridot collection.

Peridot follows the same approach to recording and preparation, with assessment criteria suited to the gemstone. Each parcel or individual piece is considered through its own features.

FROM MINE TO MARKET

From recovery to a considered offering

The work continues after a gemstone is recovered. Our approach connects the source, the assessment and the information presented to a buyer.

Emerald and peridot follow a shared sequence, with sorting and assessment suited to each gemstone.

STEP 1Recover and record

Recovered material is linked to its mine and recovery batch. This record provides the starting point for its journey through preparation and sale.

STEP 2Sort and assess

We examine the material and group it using defined criteria. Colour, transparency, size, form and visible features help shape the description of each offering.

STEP 3Prepare the offering

Parcels and individual stones receive a reference, weight, photographs and relevant observations. The description records known treatments and testing status.

STEP 4Present to buyers

Commercial parcels, selected stones and exceptional pieces follow the sale method stated for each offering. Buyers can review the details and enquire about viewing and purchase arrangements.

ORIGIN & RECORDS

Keeping the source connected

Origin becomes useful when it stays connected to the material being sold. Javaaz's records link the mine and recovery batch to the parcel or individual stone prepared for a buyer.

That connection supports clear descriptions and a more informed conversation about each offering.

The mine of origin

Source information identifies where the material was recovered. Mine records provide the basis for the locality used in an offering's description.

The offering reference

A reference connects each parcel or individual stone with its preparation records, photographs and measurements. Changes made during sorting are recorded so the connection is retained.
