For 28 years, Kimberly Collins has curated an extensive collection of colored gemstones from around the globe.

KIM COLLIN'S STORY

I’ve always had an interest in beautiful things, thanks to my mother, a professional artist, and my father, a lifelong collector of gems, minerals, and other exotic treasures from around the world.

I received a Bachelors degree in Hotel and Restaurant Management at Northern Arizona University and worked for a time at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, but I knew there was more out there for me. That’s why I jumped at the chance to travel to Nairobi and learn the tanzanite business there, learning everything I could about gems and laying the groundwork for my true life’s work."

COLORED GEMS

I moved to San Francisco and formed Kindy African Gemstone Company in 1995, changing the name to Collins & Collins Fine Colored Gemstones when I went into partnership with my then-husband. But the best was yet to come. After broadening my horizons still further with eye-opening trips to Bangkok and Sri Lanka, I decided to go independent.

In 2008, I opened Kimberly Collins Colored Gems, featuring a continually expanding inventory and adding a finished colored-stone jewelry line.

I consider it a great privilege to be able to share my expertise, attention to detail, and my dedication with jewelers. I strive to provide them with the very finest in colored gems. I hope you’ll create your next masterpieces with stunning gemstones from Kimberly Collins Colored Gems.

TRENDS

Color is HOT! Color gemstones continue to grow in popularity. Everyone loves the big 3 (Ruby, Emerald, and Sapphire), but we’re also noticing a rise in interest in all birthstone jewelry and more unique shades and shapes. (Think bi-color tourmaline, hexagons, and kite shapes…)

Don’t be afraid to step out of the traditional box when it comes to colorful jewelry. Even though there are consistencies in the big 3, it is always fun finding the next big thing mother nature offers the gem world!
