An emerald house with the workshop inside

Kingdom Emeralds · Old Town of Cartagena de Indias

01 The house

We opened in 2015, on this same block

Kingdom Emeralds opened its doors in March 2015 in the Old Town of Cartagena, on Calle Estanco del Aguardiente. Today the store sits in the Edificio Pombo, on Calle del Cuartel, a few steps from where we started and still beside the Teatro Heredia. The work has not changed since: Colombian emeralds, our own workshop, and a certificate that states exactly what each piece is.

We do not claim more years than we have. It is a common temptation in this trade and we have chosen to avoid it: what holds a jeweler up is not the date on its sign, but what it delivers when a customer comes back.

02 The name

Three names, one workshop

This house was not born with the name Kingdom. We keep all three emblems in plain view because a customer who returns after some years has every right to recognize where they bought, and because a brand that hides its history is usually hiding something else.

2015 — 2018

El Shaddai, jewelry and emerald workshop — the first emblem of the house

The mark was refined — from the literal crown to a gem-and-letter monogram — but the craft changed neither hands nor address: the same workshop, the same stones, the same Old Town.

03 How we work

Three commitments, and none of them is a slogan

We make what we sell

The workshop is inside the store. Design, casting and setting all happen at this address, not at an outside supplier.

We state what each piece is

Species, metal, purity and treatment are written into the certificate. If an emerald has been treated, the document says so.

We do not overstate our history

Not the years, not the credentials, not the origin of a stone when it cannot be backed up. Precision is also a form of service.

04 The team

Those who advise and those who make

Two different trades hold this store up: the one that guides the customer and the one that works the metal. Both happen in the same room, in plain sight.

  • In-store guidance, in Spanish and English
  • Goldsmith's workshop inside the store
  • After-sale care: resizing, cleaning and an annual check
Pieces with legacy that endures

We would be glad to welcome you

We are in the Edificio Pombo, on Calle del Cuartel, open every day from 10:00 am to 7:00 pm.
