A short list of stones, each one chosen by hand.
Maiwis selects sapphires, rubies, emeralds and rare stones for those who know what they are looking for, or who wish to be guided to it.
A selection, not a catalogue
We present few stones. Each is chosen for its colour, its clarity and the quality of its cut. Those that do not meet these criteria are not offered, whatever their provenance.
A network rather than a stock
We work with an international network of cutters and dealers. This lets us search for a precise stone without limiting you to what is already on display.
The laboratory before the word
The description of a stone never rests on our appreciation alone. Every stone comes with the report of an independent laboratory, whose number can be checked before any decision.
Discretion
Viewings take place in Paris, by appointment. We never disclose the names of our clients or the details of their acquisitions.
Orders from anywhere, viewings in Paris.
Maiwis is based in Paris. Orders are taken from anywhere in the world. Every stone can be seen in person in Paris, by appointment, or presented by video call.
A precious stone is not an investment.
We do not present stones as financial investments and we promise them no effect. When we mention their place in traditions, such as the nine stones of Vedic astrology, it is as cultural heritage. We sell the beauty of a rare stone, described with precision.
Start with a conversation.
A first conversation lets us understand what you are looking for. It carries no obligation.
