Refraction Gems

Refraction Gems is a gemstone-focused business based in Tasmania, bringing together the discovery, sourcing, cutting and sharing of distinctive stones. The team fossicks for gems in Tasmania using ethical practices and also works with ethically sourced stones from suppliers around the globe. Rough gems are faceted into finished pieces, with the process guided by an appreciation for the character and beauty of each material.

Customers can explore Tasmanian, Australian and international gems, as well as commercially cut stones, extras and recently sold pieces through the online shop. The collection includes custom-cut stones and special pieces, such as opal and Tasmanian smoky quartz. Refraction Gems also creates custom-designed work and offers heirloom stones, alongside items such as ring boxes made from spalted sassafras.

For those interested in the story behind a stone, the business offers an Adopt-a-Rock experience. Its website shares updates on new finds and completed work, and visitors can follow the brand on Instagram or subscribe to its newsletter for news and gemstone updates.
