A Legacy of Excellence
LEGEM's journey began over 40 years ago in the heart of the United Kingdom, a land renowned for its rich tradition in fine jewellery craftsmanship. Our founders, a visionary British-Mauritian couple, were driven by a shared passion for creating exquisite, timeless pieces that marry the elegance of British design with the vibrant cultural influences of Mauritius.
Our Roots and Expansion
From the UK to Mauritius
In our quest to bring exceptional jewellery to discerning clients worldwide, we expanded our operations to the beautiful island of Mauritius. Strategically located at the crossroads of Africa and Asia, Mauritius allows us to source the finest gemstones globally. Our state-of-the-art atelier in Mauritius is where the magic happens, transforming these carefully selected raw stones into exquisite pieces of jewellery.
From Source to Finished Piece
LEGEM is a vertically integrated jewellery brand, meaning we control every step of the process—from sourcing raw gemstones to crafting the final piece. Our gemologists travel the world to handpick the most exceptional gemstones, which are then meticulously cut and polished by our skilled artisans in our state-of-the-art atelier in Mauritius. This comprehensive control allows us to maintain the highest standards of quality and craftsmanship, offering bespoke services tailored to each client’s unique needs.
