About US
Founded in 2009, Exelle sources the world’s most exceptional stones and place them to passionate and capable owners.
Gemstones, Fancy and White Diamonds
Precision, Passion, and the Pursuit of Perfection are part of our firmament, and naturally we’ve sought to share our stones with a larger group of passionate and capable collectors.
We leverage our access, experience, and our collective “spirit” to assemble curated selections of stones that are compelling investments, artistic statements, and legacy assets.
Individual Collectors & Investors
The stones we offer would only be accessed in the grand luxury house’s high-jewlery collections, and we seek allow special collectors and investors to access these stones first.
Our clients may keep the stone in its present state, use the stone(s) in part of their own jewelry, or store stone with Exelle until inspiration strikes.
We are always keen to meet with passionate collectors at all stages of their journey and understand how Exelle can help them achieve and expand their vision. You can always visit us in Bangkok or arrange for a private showing in Hong Kong.
