About Us

THE GEMS EXCELLENCE STANDARD

Gems Excellence is a fine jewelry house built on one belief: the most meaningful pieces are created with clarity, care, and uncompromising standards. We specialize in rare colored gemstones, refined design, and meticulous craftsmanship—so every decision feels informed, and every piece feels personal.

Quality you can see. Standards you can trust. Jewelry designed to last.


PAWANYA — FOUNDER & DESIGNER

My name is Pawanya, and I founded Gems Excellence to bring exceptional colored gemstones into jewelry that feels modern, elegant, and deeply personal.

I grew up around gemstones from an early age. In 1991, my parents founded a gemstone business in Bangkok focused on precision-cut rubies and sapphires. Watching rough stones transform through skill, patience, and pride shaped how I see beauty: not as something flashy, but as something earned—through expertise and care.

After studying in the UK and Switzerland, I pursued my dream of designing fine jewelry. I wanted to create pieces with more than style—pieces grounded in gemstone knowledge. I spent years in our family business sorting and grading gemstones by color, clarity, and size, and later strengthened my professional foundations through the Gübelin Academy.

In 2014, I established Gems Excellence in Hong Kong. Over time, my connection to the world of colored gemstones deepened further—through both my work and my family, including a heritage rooted in emerald expertise. Today, Gems Excellence brings these worlds together: gemstone mastery, thoughtful design, and a standard of quality that never compromises.


WHAT MAKES A GEMS EXCELLENCE PIECE

We design with intention and create with precision. Every piece is guided by three principles:

  • Gemstone character & quality
    We focus on the details that define real beauty—color nuance, brilliance, proportion, and presence.
  • Thoughtful design
    Our designs are created to flatter the gemstone and suit the wearer—timeless, balanced, and personal.
  • Meticulous craftsmanship
    From setting to finishing, we obsess over what you can feel as much as what you can see: comfort, durability, and clean, refined execution.

 

 

 

 

THE GEMSTONE DIFFERENCE — CUT IN-HOUSE

Beautiful jewelry begins with exceptional gemstones. That’s why we place special emphasis on cut quality—because cut is what brings a gemstone to life.

Gems Excellence operates two in-house cutting factories, where our teams have refined complex cuts over many years. This includes signature styles such as the Excellent Cut (known for its heart-and-arrow style reflection) and the Radiant Cut, both central to our identity. These stones are then paired with high-quality diamonds and crafted gold settings to create jewelry that feels luminous, balanced, and enduring.


DESIGNED IN HONG KONG. CRAFTED WITH GLOBAL EXCELLENCE

As a Hong Kong fine jewelry house, we design and conceptualize each piece in our Hong Kong studio and craft our jewelry with trusted facilities and partners across the world. This global approach allows us to combine specialized expertise with consistent quality control—while maintaining our standard of finishing, precision, and longevity.


CERTIFICATION & PEACE OF MIND

Our jewelry is crafted in 18K gold and set with exceptional precious gemstones and high-quality diamonds. Where applicable, our gemstones are certified to confirm identification—so you can purchase with confidence and clarity.

We believe true luxury includes reassurance: honest guidance, transparent standards, and pieces designed to be worn and loved for years.
