Shipping and Returns
While we exclusively source and cut our gemstones in Madagascar, our stock is based in Bahrain. This strategic location allows us to ship globally with ease, offering access to major shipping partners like Malca Amit, FedEx, and DHL to suit your preferences.
While we strive to ship our gemstones worldwide, certain regions may pose shipping challenges. Please send us an email at contact@gemswithorigin.com and let's work it out together!
Please note that customers are responsible for any applicable import fees and should familiarize themselves with their country’s import policies before placing an order.
We ship our gemstones from Bahrain. Once your order is placed, you can either select your preferred shipping method at checkout and we’ll contact you within 1-3 business days to confirm your preference and provide a personalized quote.
If your gemstones don’t meet your expectations, you may return them within 14 business days for a full refund, excluding shipping costs. To initiate a return, please email us for the return address.
Ensure the gemstones are returned in their original condition, along with your order number and tracking information. Return shipping costs are the customer’s responsibility. We strongly recommend using a trackable shipping service with insurance, as refunds will only be processed once we receive the returned items.
Please note that we do not offer returns on gemstones sourced via our conciergerie service.
If the country listed on your shipping address is not part of the GCC, exports from bahrain are subjected to 0% of VAT - under Bahrain VAT law. If you are located in the GCC, Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and UAE, we will need to apply VAT accordingly, in relation to the specific country.

Our Product and Services
We offer a gemstone concierge service for sapphires not listed on our website. If you’re looking for calibrated sapphires for custom designs or specific sizes and cuts, we’ll do our best to assist with your request.
As a way to shine light on local talent, we collaborate on demand with teams of lapidaries who produce their own princess cut calibrated sapphire lines with their own gemstone inventory. If you want more information do not hesitate to reach out via email and we will send you the brochure.
Not all stones listed come with a certificate, as we source our rough gems directly from an industrial mine. However, we offer certification services upon request, at your expense. If treatment is detected, we will cover the certification costs. For more information, please contact us at contact@gemswithorigin.com.
All our sapphires are unheated, chosen for their natural saturation and beauty. Our selection includes stones ranging from eye-clean to included, with a strict focus on ensuring no inclusions compromise their durability. This guarantees that each sapphire is both visually stunning and structurally sound.
By highlighting the untouched beauty of nature, we remain committed to offering sapphires that are as unique and authentic as the communities they come from.
