Peter Stone, G.G., A.G., F.G.A., founder and CEO of Peter Stone Jewelry, first felt his passion in 1983, working as an engineer on merchant ships. Living in Sri Lanka, he had the fortunate opportunity of exposure to an abundance of precious stones.

Captivated by the beauty of these gems, he began to purchase and trade them, as well as silver. It wasn’t only in Sri Lanka that he found beautiful treasures. He also traveled to Pakistan and Afghanistan to trade silver for emeralds.

Feeling the passion for precious stones and gems, Peter studied for gemology certifications. Many merchants were trading poor quality stones and inferior silver. Peter wanted to ensure that he could identify the differences and that he would only purchase the finest quality. He later received additional certifications in Belgium, Great Britain, and the United States.

In 1992, fully educated in the world of gemstones and jewelry, the Peter Stone Company was born. Peter opened his own factory in Bangkok, Thailand, where he resides. This was immensely fulfilling. He was finally able to take his passion and design beautiful jewelry. It is this passion and creativity that continues to keep his company alive.
