November 30th, 2020 by rneubertThe Constantin Wild gemstone manufacturing facility looks back on a long-standing tradition: 175 years and ten generations of agate cutters, goldsmiths and gemstone merchants. Since 1984, âConteâ Constantin Wild has been at the helm of this tradition-steeped family business, shaped by stories beyond belief and breathtaking landscapes along the road to the worldâs ulterior regions.
CONSTANTIN WILD
November 30th, 2020 by rneubertConstantin Wild represents the tenth generation of the Wild gemstone dynasty and has been running the company, now operating under the name of Constantin Wild GmbH & Co.KG, since 1996. He often travels to buy roughs and gemstones â to have them cut or recut at the domestic manufacturing facility. When he works from his office, he supervises the cutting processes and sales, maintains contact with the highest representatives of the international world of jewellery and advises private and institutional collectors who entrust him with the search for â and cutting of â their gemstones. âI have the most beautiful job in the worldâ, he says. Even after almost forty years, Constantin Wildâs fascination for the infinite variety of coloured gemstones remains unbroken.
GREEN TOURMALINE
November 30th, 2020 by rneubertTourmaline has one of the widest colour ranges of any gem species, occurring in various shades of virtually every hue. Since the 1990âs, fascinating tourmalines were mined near the town of Mavuco in the ZambĂ©zia region of Mozambique. In the mine that produces the world famous blue and green Paraiba Tourmalines, this outstanding specimen was recently discovered. The absence of copper gives this gem a remarkable green colour rather like a Tsavorite green than a Tourmaline green. A rare collectable and unique beauty.

When long-standing craftsmanship and state-of-the-art technology work in perfect harmony, the knowledge gathered over centuries becomes tangible.

November 30th, 2020 by rneubertAmong gemstone connoisseurs and lovers, the small town on the River Nahe enjoys worldwide fame: Idar-Oberstein, the world capital of gemstones, home to the gemstone knowledge of more than half a millennium. To date, the most precious gemstones have originated from this small town on the southern edge of the famous Hunsrueck â worth a visit for many other reasons too. Idar-Oberstein is a paradise for connoisseurs who know how to treat themselves well: perhaps with a well deserved break at BollAnts, which received an award as the best wellness hotel in the Rhineland-Palatinate, or an excellent wine from the region, from the hand-picked grapes of the Emrich-Schönleber winery, or by savouring an original spit roast, a regional culinary delight. Why not explore the region, visit Frankfurtâs elegant Goethestrasse or the romantic castle of Heidelberg or delve into history in Trier – the oldest diocese north of the Alps ⊠all just a stoneâs throw from the world capital of coloured wealth.
YELLOW SAPPHIRE
November 30th, 2020 by rneubertThe oldest sapphire deposits are in Sri Lanka. There, people were already digging for gemstones in ancient times. Sapphires usually come in blue or pink, though there is also a rare yellow variety. The lemon yellow especially enhances its fascination and uniqueness. This unheated 13-carat sapphire is special, both in terms of fashion and as a collectorâs item.
