Welcome to Maui Gems ~ Wholesale Gems and Fine Jewelry
Maui Gems or Beija-flor Gems has been in the business of supplying our customers with the finest, and best values, in colored gemstones from all over the world for more than 20 years. Our start was in Brazil, where we get
Alexandrite, Emerald, Aquamarine, Tourmaline
, and where we happened to be when the beautiful and extremely rare
Paraiba Tourmaline
made it's first appearance on the market. We were completely blown away by this stone and became heavily involved in bringing this stone to the public Beija-flor means "hummingbird" in the Portuguese language of Brazil and is also the name of the premier Samba Club in Rio with which we had ties. But Brazil is by no means the only locale that we search in our endevor to always have something special. Our 30 years spent in Colorado helped put us in contact with the incredible gem
Rhodochrosite from the Sweet Home Mine
in Alma, Colorado which has closed to mining. After buying and selling many fine gems of this material over the years, we ended up buying ALL of the cutting rough and will be producing faceted stones by the World’s best cutters as well as cabochons, polished rhombohedrons, and even a broad range of rhodo specimens. We will have available for purchase on this site facet and cab stones, and jewelry designed by Patricia Van Wagoner Of course we can’t feature everything on this site, so if there is something you’d like that you don’t see, email us or call 808 573 4845, but be aware of the time difference. Hawaii is 2 hours behind California in winter and 3 hours in summer.
