Gemfields is pleased to announce that Kagem Mining Limited (“Kagem”), the emerald mine in Zambia which is 75% owned by Gemfields and 25% owned by the Government of the Republic of Zambia through the Industrial Development Corporation of Zambia (“IDC”), will shortly recommence a programme of focused open-pit mining to recover more premium emeralds.

Emerald is the fitting birthstone of May, the month when green shoots burst forth and fields turn green. Coinciding with this highpoint of spring is a new partnership between Gemfields and PureJewels, a fine jewellery label dedicated to quality, craftsmanship and heritage, with roots in India and Africa. The PureJewels x Gemfields Zariya collection puts emeralds from Gemfields’ Kagem mine in Zambia front and centre in designs inspired by the fresh buds of May.
