Description
Direct Source Gems is a specialist coloured gemstone and diamond merchant based at the London Diamond Bourse in the heart of Hatton Garden. Founded in 2012 by gemmologist Matthew Morrell, the business is known for its carefully selected fine gemstones, rare diamonds and distinctive stones sourced for jewellers, designers and collectors seeking exceptional colour, character and provenance.
Its collection encompasses an impressive selection of sapphires, rubies, emeralds, spinels, aquamarines, tourmalines and garnets, alongside rarer varieties including alexandrite, tsavorite, Paraiba-type tourmaline and padparadscha sapphire. Direct Source Gems specialises in purchasing both rough and polished gemstones close to their source, working personally with miners, cutters and traders to gain a greater understanding of each stone's origin and journey.
Exceptional Gemstones with Provenance
What distinguishes Direct Source Gems is its emphasis on provenance, transparency and specialist knowledge. Stones are individually considered for their colour, quality and individual characteristics, with the business offering fine single gemstones as well as carefully matched pairs and sets. This makes Direct Source Gems particularly valuable to jewellery designers and goldsmiths looking for something individual around which to create an exceptional piece of jewellery.
From its base at 100 Hatton Garden, Direct Source Gems combines expert gemmological knowledge with first-hand experience of gemstone sourcing and the international coloured-stone trade. Its close relationships with suppliers and craftspeople, together with an emphasis on disclosure and responsible sourcing, have established the business as a distinctive destination within Hatton Garden for those seeking rare coloured gemstones and diamonds with provenance.
