Jemora Gemhouse unveils exclusive auction platform
Jemora Gemhouse (JGH), an innovative auction house dedicated to rare and valuable polished coloured gemstones, is set to redefine the gemstone market by bridging the gap between coloured gemstone owners and an exclusive network of buyers. The auction house aims to establish a sanctuary for the world’s rarest gems.
Founded by Dev Shetty, Jemora Gemhouse (JGH) is part of Gaston Group, a UAE-headquartered company.
In the past, Shetty played a key role in the turnaround of Gemfields by developing their emerald and ruby mines. He also founded Fura Gems, the only company mining emerald, ruby, and sapphire globally. JGH leverages Shetty’s transformative expertise in the coloured gemstone industry, including notable achievements such as the record-breaking sale of the 55.22-carat “Estrela de Fura Ruby” for $35 million, the highest price ever paid for any coloured gemstone.
Jemora Gemhouse will offer collectors, luxury brands, and trade partners access to some of the world’s most exquisite, rare and valuable collections of polished coloured gems.
Dev Shetty shared his vision for the auction house: “I’m excited to unveil Jemora Gemhouse, the first-of-its-kind auction house dedicated to extremely rare and exclusive polished coloured gemstones. For years, the industry has needed a specialised platform to showcase premium-coloured gems to the right audience, bypassing the constraints of traditional auction houses. Jemora Gemhouse fulfils this demand by connecting sellers directly with buyers, ensuring that the finest gemstones achieve their true market value.”
He added, “Our inaugural auction promises to be a milestone event, featuring once-in-a-lifetime collections that are simply irreplaceable. I want to thank the team at Jemora Gemhouse for working very hard to assemble this exquisite collection, and DMCC for hosting this launch at its world-class facility in the Dubai Diamond Exchange.

Diamond Slump forces Debswana to diversify into copper, platinum and solar
Diamond-centric mining models is giving way to broader resource portfolios
Debswana Diamond Company, the 50–50 joint venture between the Botswana government and De Beers, is moving to diversify into copper, platinum and renewable energy as the prolonged downturn in natural diamond demand pressures earnings and forces the industry to rethink its growth strategy.
The company’s board has approved plans to invest in a portfolio of non-diamond projects after revenue fell 46% in 2024, the latest available financial year, highlighting the scale of the downturn in the global diamond market.

The move signals a strategic shift toward commodities with stronger long-term demand fundamentals, particularly copper, which is central to global electrification and energy-transition infrastructure.
Debswana’s diversification reflects a broader industry pivot as diamond producers confront weak consumer demand, rising competition from lab-grown stones and elevated inventories across the supply chain.
The shift is also visible among smaller exploration companies. Botswana Diamonds recently rebranded as Botswana Minerals, signalling its own strategic focus on copper exploration rather than diamonds.
Together, these moves underscore a growing consensus across the sector: the era of diamond-centric mining models is giving way to broader resource portfolios anchored in energy-transition metals.
