                   A Legacy of Excellence Passed Down Through Generations

                                                          Since 1967

​​​​

Asia Gems traces its roots back to 1967, when it was founded in Hong Kong by the late Mr. Vashi Nainani — a man with a vision, a passion for fine gemstones, and a deep sense of integrity. What began as a small, family-operated business specializing in emerald trading soon blossomed into a respected name in the global gemstone market.

 

In its early years, the company focused on sourcing and distributing high-quality emeralds to clients across Asia. However, as international demand grew and the gemstone industry evolved, Mr. Vashi made a strategic move to expand the company’s offerings. In the late 1970s, diamonds were introduced into the product line, marking a significant turning point for Asia Gems. This diversification allowed the company to meet the changing tastes of customers and expand into new markets, laying the groundwork for decades of sustainable growth.

 

Over the years, Asia Gems has built a solid reputation founded on trust, quality, and personalized service. The company is known not only for its exquisite collection of diamonds and colored stones, but also for its transparent business practices and commitment to long-term relationships. Generations of loyal customers, from private collectors to high-end jewellers, have come to rely on Asia Gems as a trusted source for ethically sourced, expertly selected gems.

 

More than just a gemstone dealer, Asia Gems is a living legacy — a story of passion, perseverance, and pride that continues to evolve while staying true to its roots.

 

About Our CEO – Mr. Shyam Nainani
Carrying Forward the Vision with Heart, Skill, and Experience

​

The heartbeat of Asia Gems today is Mr. Shyam Nainani, son of the founder and the company’s current CEO. His journey into the world of gemstones was not by chance, but by calling — shaped by early exposure, rigorous training, and the values instilled by his father.

​

“My father, Mr. Vashi Nainani, was not only a remarkable businessman but also a profound influence in my life,” Shyam recalls. “He taught me not just the science of stones, but the art of relationships. He believed in doing business with honesty and heart.”

​

Shyam’s formal training began in 1984 when, as a teenager, he was sent to India to apprentice under his father’s trusted network of traders and gem experts. For two years, he immersed himself in the field, observing, learning, and participating in every step of the trading process. He studied not just how to identify stones, but how to evaluate them with discernment and trade them with confidence.

 

By the age of 18, Shyam was already visiting the prestigious Diamond Bourse in Mumbai, where he conducted monthly purchasing trips, often handling transactions valued at over One million in US Dollars. These experiences were formative, sharpening his instincts and giving him the assurance to operate independently at an early age.

​

Over the past 39 years, Shyam has refined his craft, cultivated an international network of suppliers and clients, and led Asia Gems into the modern era. Under his leadership, the company has embraced both tradition and innovation — staying grounded in old-world values while adapting to the digital age.

 

Shyam is now widely regarded in the industry for his ability to spot exceptional stones and deals for clients, his deep market knowledge, and his unwavering commitment to ethical sourcing. He continues to guide Asia Gems with the same spirit of excellence and humility passed down from his father, ensuring the company remains a symbol of trust and quality for future generations.
