About Us

Hi, I'm Leander, co-founder of Roho Jewels. Thank you for finding us.

At Roho Jewels, everything begins with the stone. Not the metal, not the setting: the stone, its colour and its story. I hand-select every natural gemstone in our Toronto studio, because a genuine coloured gemstone is one of the most beautiful things a person can wear, and you shouldn't have to settle for imitations or low-grade stones sold as gems.

Why we started

Since 2018, Roho Jewels has helped jewelry lovers own real fine jewelry without the traditional luxury markup. We saw two problems. Rising gold prices were pushing gemstone jewelry out of reach, often making a piece many times more expensive because of the metal alone. And most "affordable" silver jewelry used low-grade or lab-created stones with little lasting value. So we bridged the gap: natural coloured gemstones, set in solid 925 sterling silver with thick gold plating or in solid 18K gold, so you pay for the stone and the craftsmanship, not a gold markup.

The Roho philosophy

Real gemstones. Real craftsmanship. Real value. Every piece is designed to let the centre stone speak for itself. The metal, the setting and the accent stones are there to serve the stone, never to compete with it.

Honest descriptions

Every product page tells you exactly what you're buying: the gemstone, its origin where known, its weight and measurements, and any treatment. Sapphires and rubies are standard heat unless the page says no heat, and emeralds are minor oil unless it says no oil. When a stone is untreated, we say so clearly, and if an independent lab finds a treatment we didn't disclose, you get a full refund.

Our collections

  • Loose gemstones: natural sapphires, rubies, emeralds and more, from everyday sizes to rare antique and collector stones.
  • 18K gold fine jewelry: natural gemstones set in solid 18K gold with natural diamond accents. Our 18K gold alloys are nickel-free.
  • 925 sterling silver jewelry: natural gemstones in solid 925 sterling silver with thick gold plating or rhodium, 100% nickel-free. Any lab-grown diamond accents in this line are always clearly labelled.
