My journey
My name is Sahibzada Saqib Rahim, age 31. I have always been inspired by the beauty of nature, art, and the unique character of natural gemstones. This lifelong passion led me to study gemmology and gemstone faceting at an early stage of my career.
I completed my Diploma in Commerce (D.Com) in 2009. In 2012, I earned a Diploma in Gemmology and Gem Faceting from the Department of Gems and Jewellery, Centre of Excellence, University of Engineering and Technology (UET) Peshawar.
After completing my studies, I began working in Namak Mandi Gems Market in Peshawar, one of Pakistan's well-known gemstone trading centers. Since then, I have regularly traveled to gemstone mining regions across Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and northern Pakistan, building long-term relationships with local miners and trusted suppliers.
Over the years, I have specialized in sourcing beautiful natural gemstones, including:
* Emeralds from the Swat Valley
* Topaz from the Katlang region
* Sphene (Titanite) from Mohmand Agency
* Aquamarine from Skardu
One of the most rewarding parts of my work is recutting and precision faceting loose gemstones. Every stone is carefully studied, cut, and polished to bring out its finest brilliance, color, and natural beauty. Watching a rough or poorly cut gemstone transform into a sparkling finished gem is what I enjoy most.
Every gemstone offered in my Etsy shop is ethically sourced, carefully selected, and honestly represented. My goal is to provide collectors, jewelry designers, and gemstone enthusiasts with natural gems that are both beautiful and responsibly obtained.
Thank you for visiting my shop. I hope you find a gemstone that speaks to you as much as it has inspired me.
