Brand illustrations

The round demantoid images used for sample records in the Gem Store are artistic illustrations. They will be replaced by real photographs as each stone record is verified.

Commissioned editorial series

Nine additional AI-generated brand illustrations were created for Imperial Green, Origin, Science, Collectors, Our Story, Trade, Buyers Lounge, Research and the Selection Standard. These are conceptual still lifes, not photographs of a mine, actual inventory, a real workshop or laboratory results. The custom outline icons are original SVG artwork.
