A Note From Jake
JAKE THOMPSON MANAGING DIRECTOR
Spring is all around us this April, and we’re spending this month and season of renewal rejuvenating passion for exotic gemstones and underlining their exclusivity as finite resources.
We begin in South Asia for Out of Burma, exploring its rich gemstone heritage and the lands from which they come. Gems in Bloom celebrates the colours and vibrancy of the current season through gemstones, and Gems of Extinction highlights just how difficult it is becoming to obtain them. We turn our attention to the most precious of metals during our Allure & Awe event, and we end April with Carved Through Time, a prestigious showcase that tells the historic legacy of gemstone artistry.
When partaking in these events this month, I hope you can join us in appreciating the magnitude of what Mother Nature has to offer, and the stories and legacies that her treasures represent.
April is Earth Month, and we are proud to partner with businesses who share our passion for sustainability. This includes KP Sanghvi, who have currently planted over 300,000 trees across their campuses to promote environmental action.

Gemstones have been around for millennia, but did you know that they’re a finite resource? During this event, we’re honouring the legacy of some of our rarest and most coveted gemstones from locations that are almost exhausted.
Many influential sources like Australia’s Argyle Mine are already closed, and with others like Canada’s Diavik Mine facing an imminent closure, precious stones like Canadian Diamonds and South Sea Pearls are becoming extremely vulnerable – and the time you have to acquire them is quickly diminishing. So, join us for this groundbreaking event and add them to your collection before they’re gone forever...

Clare Sims
Hi, I’m Clare and I am a Senior Customer Service Advisor in the Call Centre. I have been at Gemporia for 13 years since “retiring” from my previous role as Cabin Crew – I guess I just love working with customers!
I really enjoy working at Gemporia; it feels very much like home, and it is a very relaxed vibe. My work involves
me working directly with our lovely customers on the telephone and over email, many of whom we get to know on a first-name personal level as they have been shopping with us for so long! The customer service role of helping customers and finding solutions to any issues they have is so rewarding.
I only wore clear gemstones and stud earrings. That is definitely not the case now! I love coloured gems, especially Aquamarine and Ethiopian Emerald.
Before I worked at Gemporia, my taste in jewellery was quite “ plain ” - I only wore clear gemstones and stud earrings. That is definitely not the case now! I love coloured gems, especially Aquamarine and Ethiopian Emerald. I am also a huge fan of our Kimbie range (I’m definitely a candle-aholic); there’s nothing better than being at work on a fragrance launch day – it always ends with a staff order!
I have also appeared on screen a couple of times too! I’ve been Kati’s model on her VISAGE show a couple of times, and I recently really stepped out of my comfort zone by presenting a two-hour live show on our TikTok channel when the presenter was poorly.
Our lovely customers really are the heart of this family business, and every day I get so much fulfilment from helping them and chatting to them. I am excited for another year ahead at Gemporia!

Hans-Ulrich Pauly
This month, we are thrilled to welcome legendary gemstone carver Hans-Ulrich Pauly to our TV studio for the very first time on Saturday the 12 th of April – and he’s bringing something truly extraordinary with him.
Pauly, revered worldwide for his breathtaking gemstone sculptures, will unveil a brand-new carving: an exquisite flower-motif pendant and earrings set masterfully crafted from luminous Bi-Quartz. Known for transforming rare gemstones into works of art that seem to breathe with life, Pauly’s latest creation is a delicate fusion of nature’s beauty and exceptional craftsmanship.
This visit is especially meaningful, as Pauly was the mentor and dear friend of our late guest and beloved artist Glenn Lehrer. Lehrer often said that Pauly taught him everything he knew about the craft — a legacy that lives on in every curve, facet, and design. Their shared passion for gemstone art shaped an entire generation of carvers and collectors, making this appearance a heartfelt tribute as well as a celebration.
In addition to debuting his new floral set, Pauly will also showcase rare pieces from his personal vault — treasures that have never been seen onair before.

Whether you’re a lifelong admirer of fine gemstones or discovering this art form for the first time, this is a moment not to be missed. Join us as we welcome the incomparable HansUlrich Pauly — a master carver, a mentor, and an artist whose creations continue to inspire awe around the world.
