Why IGE

The trade moves slowly. It shouldn't.


A serious dealer can wait weeks for the right tsavorite, lose a Burmese ruby because the call came one day too late, or fly across the world to find a paraiba that doesn't match its photo. The market is global; the way we trade is still local. IGE is the answer: a single, invite-only space where the people who matter — and only the people who matter — meet, propose, and close deals. Quietly, cleanly, and instantly.

— 01

Exclusive access

Every member is hand-vetted: verified company, references checked, trade history confirmed. No collectors, no resellers, no fakes.

— 02

Instant trading

Propose a stone, find a buyer, secure a piece — all from your phone. The deal you'd close in three weeks at a show happens in three messages.

— 03

Structured listings

Every offer follows the same format: weight, origin, treatment, certification, price. No guessing, no chasing details, no time wasted.

— 04

Truly global

Asia, Europe, the Americas, the Middle East. Stones move where they're wanted, not where the next fair happens to be.

— 05

Discreet by design

What's traded inside IGE stays inside IGE. No public listings, no marketplaces, no bots scraping prices. A members' room, online.

— 06

Zero friction

No subscriptions, no fees, no commissions on your trades. Membership is free for those who qualify. The cost of entry is your reputation.

How it works

Four steps from application to access.


I

Apply

Complete the short application below. We need the basics on you, your firm, and your trade focus.

II

Verify

We check credentials, references and standing in the trade. Only active, professional dealers are admitted.

III

Receive your invite

Approved members are sent a private invitation link to the IGE network on Telegram.

IV

Trade

Source, propose, sell. From your first day, you're in the room with the people that matter.

The structure

Two rooms. One purpose.


IGE is organised into dedicated subgroups so that every conversation has a clear role. Posts that don't fit the format don't get through. Members read what they need, ignore what they don't, and the channel never becomes noise.

Subgroup · 01

Selling Floor

Three stones per member, per week.

The Selling Floor is for offering stones to the network. Each listing follows the IGE format — weight, origin, treatment, certification, asking price, photo and location — so other members can decide in seconds. The weekly cap keeps quality high and the feed digestible.

  • Three structured offers per member, per week
  • One stone (or matched pair / suite) per post
  • HD photo or short video required
  • Asking price stated openly — no "DM for price"
  • Marked SOLD or WITHDRAWN by the seller
Subgroup · 02

Buying Desk

Unlimited requests. Real demand, in real time.

The Buying Desk is where members post what they're looking for. A specific client request, a wholesale need, a hard-to-find piece — post it, and the right seller across the world sees it the same minute. No cap, because demand is what makes the network work.

  • Unlimited "wanted" posts per member
  • Specify gem, weight range, quality, origin, budget
  • Reply directly to the buyer in private
  • Mark FILLED to keep the desk clean
  • Repeat-posting tolerated only weekly, not daily

Full posting templates and conduct rules are documented on the IGE Rules page →

A Berr & Partners initiative
Heritage

Founded inside a house that has traded gemstones since 1986.


IGE is an initiative of Berr & Partners, Geneva — a long-standing member of the International Colored Gemstone Association (ICA), with four decades of sourcing, cutting and placing premium colored stones into the world's leading houses, ateliers and private collections.

"I grew up in this trade. I love it — but I'm tired of watching beautiful stones sit in safes for months because the right buyer happens to be a flight away. IGE is the room I always wished existed: the dealers I trust, the offers that matter, in real time." — Founder, IGE · Gemmologist, Berr & Partners
