Combining pleasure and profitability: an investment with potentially substantial returns through Ckystones

Ckystones is no ordinary gemmologist: it is an ally for investors seeking a carefully selected stone that will gain value over time.

CkyStones: An expert eye

Ckystones has specialised in trading precious and coloured gemstones since 2018. Its central idea is profitable bespoke creation: investing in a piece that will genuinely gain value over time. This is where the gemmologist's crucial work comes in. They must, of course, identify the stone, but also establish its authenticity, quality, rarity and future potential. It is not simply a matter of selecting any stone for any jewel. It means guiding clients so their investment not only retains its value but can increase.

Jewellery set with an ordinary sapphire certainly has a purchase value, but when it comes to resale, the client faces competition because the stone is so commonplace. ‘My job is to provide a unique, flawless stone suited to the jewellery, or the other way round. That takes an expert eye. My aim is for clients to receive real value for their money; it is not just showmanship,’ explains Mr Chelbi, founder of Ckystones.

Trust, transparency and honesty

Above all, Ckystones is a direct collaboration between gemmologists, jewellers and designers. Its small team of five shares responsibilities and a common approach to sales, purchasing, stone authentication, quality control, 3D jewellery design and manufacture. Experience, flexibility and a long-term outlook make all the difference. As a specialist in coloured gemstones, Mr Chelbi travels around the world, each country offering distinctive stones with particular characteristics.

When he cannot travel, he works with other gemmologists who have an eye for quality, ensuring their expertise and honesty. Ckystones collaborates only with ethical, responsible and transparent people. From Asia to Africa, and sometimes Europe, Russia or Australia, Ckystones offers a range of colours, cuts and shapes to bring individual wishes to life, while providing fair remuneration at every stage and maximum traceability for each stone. These qualities appeal to enthusiasts, collectors and investors alike.

A bespoke service

Today, most clients come through recommendations. The company benefits from excellent word of mouth for several reasons, particularly its tailored approach to every project. Whether creating an exceptional engagement jewel, finding a rare stone for a collector or guiding an investor towards the strongest potential, the Ckystones team is known for high quality, ethical and responsible practices, speed, responsiveness and value for money.

A bespoke jewel generally takes a month and a half from initial idea through design to manufacture, and can easily cost 30% less than the market price while offering higher quality. Ckystones is committed to delivering a tangible result born of passion and the pursuit of beauty and integrity, with fewer intermediaries. The price therefore reflects the finished product rather than the brand. Ckystones uses the finest craftspeople to create each client's most beautiful pieces, giving them distinctive jewellery that reflects their personality.

Mr Chelbi: ‘We support clients from start to finish, explaining every process so they experience the making of their jewellery as a journey in its own right. We now offer all our clients the opportunity to be at the heart of its creation, choose a designer according to their preferences and even commission high jewellery pieces.’
