On our diamond programs, every stone is graded, logged on Tracr, and matched to its origin through the GIA’s PROV-T service. That record travels with the piece in a certificate you can verify at any time.

Almost everything people treasure is fragile.
A jewel holds what time would take, and carries it on.
It continues with you.

The house also makes works with artists beyond jewelry, and their stones are traced like every piece we set.

The house keeps the record, and the wearer keeps the memory.
Each collection of the house is a volume, and a piece joins one the day it is finished.

Papillon Ring [No. 001]
March 4, 2026
Vol. I: Butterfly
Each wing is carved from a single piece of jade, held in gold pierced and chased by hand and followed along every edge with diamonds. Two pear-cut diamonds sit at the body, and the flowers gathered at the base carry rubies, garnets and a single orange sapphire. Fourteen weeks at the bench, most of them spent on the piercing.

Papillon Bleu Ring [No. 002]
April 3, 2026
Vol. I: Butterfly
The wings are titanium, anodized so the blue comes from current passed through the metal rather than from any pigment or coating. Fancy diamonds run across them in graded tones, from yellow through cognac to black, and the three stones at the center, brown through olive, were chosen first: everything else was built around them.

August 9, 2026

Rough Ring I [No. 009]
September 30, 2026
Vol. III: Rough Diamond
A 1.34 carat natural rough diamond, uncut and unpolished, sits in a gold tension setting. The two ends of the band never meet, and the pressure of the gold alone holds the stone exactly as it came out of the ground. Graded of the first water, the oldest term in gemology for a diamond this clean, it is one of a kind.

Rough Ring II [No. 010]
October 7, 2026
Vol. III: Rough Diamond
A 1.13 carat natural rough diamond octahedron sits on a hand-hammered gold band, every face untouched. The small triangles on its surface are trigons, etched deep within the Earth as the diamond formed and rose. Graded sawable, clean enough to be cut into two polished diamonds, it was kept whole, and the ring is one of a kind.

Strata · Okavango, 2026
19.88 ct total · 4 works · Okavango Diamond Company, Botswana
Strata · Okavango is the first artistic collaboration of the house. Annette Fernando conceived the imagery, painted each work, and signs it as the artist of record, while LEGACYGEM brought the concept and the stones.
Each stone was sliced by hand and set into the surface of the works, so the diamonds are not depicted but physically present, and every one of them can be followed on Tracr from the earth to the work it belongs to.


The first work shows a single rough diamond resting in its kimberlite, the volcanic rock that carried it up from the mantle. The white grain across the painted ground is made of smaller rough diamonds from the same earth.

The second work turns from realism to the geometry of nature. Its triangular form is a macle, a twin crystal in which two diamonds fuse into one, and the pale flecks across its surface are real rough diamond slices.

The third work is the most populated of the series, a close and dense field of rough stones gathered on a single surface. The one becomes the many, and every fragment set into the paper is a real diamond.

The fourth work closes the series where it began, with the stone itself as the subject: here the material is not the setting but the point, and its record is kept with the other three.
Everything starts with a single stone, long before a sketch exists. With diamonds we can follow that stone all the way to the mine it came from. With emeralds and rubies we choose instead for the depth of color and the rarity that no two share.
A rough is mapped in three dimensions before a single facet is touched. This is where the hardest choices are made, since every carat saved for brilliance is a carat given up in size. One reading of the stone decides the whole piece.
Now the plan meets the wheel. Each facet is placed by hand and by eye, at angles measured to a fraction of a degree, until the stone stops hiding its light and starts returning it. This is the moment a rough becomes a diamond.
Anyone can call a stone rare. We would rather it be provable. Each diamond is graded and logged on a register we do not control, so the person who owns it can confirm what it is, and where it came from, without taking our word for any of it.
A jewel built to outlast its owner needs proof that outlasts it too.
Part of our rough is mined in Botswana by Debswana, an equal partnership between the Government of the country and De Beers, and bought through the Okavango Diamond Company, owned outright by the state.
ODC sells its share on an open bidding platform, so the price a stone is bought at and the route it travels are both a matter of record rather than of trust.

Schoolsfree education, decades of it

Workroads, housing, utilities
Our Botswana stones come from four mines, Jwaneng, Orapa, Letlhakane, and Damtshaa, worked under the Kimberley Process, conflict free, with hospitals, schools, and housing built around them.
Decades of free education, and the paved roads that connect the country, were funded by stones like these.

Around 80 percent of the revenue from Debswana diamonds is reinvested in Botswana, in its schools, hospitals, and roads.
Almost everything people treasure is fragile, but a legacy should not be.
A graded card is paper, a trophy is plated, a career ends, and a night is over by morning. LEGACYGEM exists to give those things a form that survives.
The beginning
LEGACYGEM was born from stone knowledge, and from access to material most houses never see. That inheritance comes from a family business in the diamond trade, and from the working end of the diamond, jewelry, watch, and luxury trades in Antwerp, Mumbai, Dubai, Hong Kong, Tokyo, and Paris.
A piece begins as a stone, and the design is built to it. We never force what the stone will not allow.
The materials
Diamond is the hardest natural material on earth, and gold does not corrode. They are the only materials that reliably outlive the people who own them, and they are the reason the house exists.
The work
What the house makes permanent changes with every project: a bond, a career, an obsession, a night that mattered. The craft behind a matched pair of diamonds and a championship ring is the same, and so is the standard it is held to.
The promise
The stone was here long before its owner and will be here long after. A jewel is made so that what it marks can carry on, and the legacy it continues is always the wearer’s. The house keeps the record, and the wearer keeps the memory.
The record
A jewel built to outlast its owner needs a record that outlasts it too. Tracr, the GIA’s PROV-T service, and the certificates we co-sign with our partners are part of the promise.
Archive: the record of every jewel the house has made.
LEGACYGEM jewels are designed for a life that has already made its mark. Whether understated or bold enough to turn heads from one end of the room to the other, everyone wants the only one there is.


The making
Setting is our craft, and the bench is where we started. The stone decides the piece, the client approves it in render, and only then is it built. Nothing is made speculatively.
From the archive
Order a design from our archive, made for you across a range of sizes. The design can be repeated, but the stone at its center never is.
Made with us
Create a jewel from scratch with our team, built around a single stone for a single person. Every piece of this kind exists once, and only for you.
Tell us what you have in mind and we will reply personally, usually within two days, to arrange a private conversation.
Write to us at the address below with what you have in mind, when you would like it, and any reference images you have. A person will answer, usually within two days, to arrange a private conversation.
Write to usWhat you write to us: your name, your email, what you would like to make, when you would like it, and any reference images you attach. If a commission goes ahead, we also keep the record of the piece itself, which is what allows the archive to exist.
To answer you, to prepare and make the piece, to hold its record in the archive, and for nothing else: we do not sell your data, we do not advertise, and we do not profile you.
Only the people needed to make and deliver a piece, and only what they need. The stone's traceability record follows the diamond, not you.
An inquiry that leads nowhere is deleted on request, or after twenty-four months. The record of a finished piece stays in the archive, because that is the point of it.
You can ask for a copy of what we hold, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it. Write to concierge@legacygem.com and a person will answer.

Every piece is made to order on private commission. Nothing begins until the design, the stone, the price and the timing are confirmed in writing between us.
Each commission is quoted on its own, since each stone is its own. Terms of payment are set out in that quotation. A commission is confirmed with a deposit of fifty percent of the agreed price, and the balance is due before delivery.
Pieces are delivered by insured, tracked carrier or handed over in person. Pieces travel fully insured, and duties and taxes are quoted before dispatch.
Every piece leaves the house with its certificate and enters the archive with its number. Those records stay with the piece for as long as it exists.
A commissioned piece is not returnable as a stock item. Every piece is covered against manufacturing faults, and the house handles repairs and resizing directly.
The designs, the photographs and the archive records are ours. The piece, once paid for, is entirely yours.
These terms are governed by the law of Hong Kong, and any dispute goes before its courts.
