STORY
Step 1:
The process starts with an email or phone conversation to determine what you are after: we discuss your budget, design preferences, required ring size, as well as preferences for the shape, size, quality and clarity of the emerald stone.
Once preferences have been determined, the choice of emerald is coordinated by our team, who will share with you by email photos and videos of different options for your selection.
Our emeralds are sourced through our trusted partner, a Kabul-based company active since 2012. Emeralds were sourced from the Panjshir Valley prior to the Taliban's takeover of Afghanistan and are all cut and polished in Kabul.
A certificate of quality is provided with each emerald.
Step 2:
Once the design has been agreed on and the emerald has been chosen, we send you a digital render of the ring for you to approve.
Once approved, the emerald is sent to master goldsmiths in the UK who will set the stone and handcraft the ring, using your choice of 14kt or 18kt gold.
ISHKAR partners with a sixth-generation family-owned business based in Birmingham's historic Jewellery Quarter, who have operated since 1824. With 200 years of highest quality of jewellery manufacturing, every piece is handcrafted in their workshop, maintaining a long tradition of excellence.
