Meet Joseph Schall
Founder of Gemstone Safari | GIA Gemologist | Connoisseur Gemstone Specialist
Joseph Schall is a GIA-certified Gemologist with over 32 years of experience in the global gemstone trade. He is the Founder of Gemstone Safari, a private concierge service that provides collectors and investors with direct access to the world’s top connoisseur gemstone dealers in New York and Bangkok, Thailand.
Unlike traditional retail jewelry experiences, Joseph guides clients behind closed doors—into private offices and elite wholesale networks where investment-grade Rubies, Sapphires, and Emeralds are bought and sold at true market value.
Private Gemstone Sourcing at the Beginning of the Pipeline
Through Gemstone Safari, Joseph offers a private gemstone sourcing experience designed for serious collectors and investors who want to bypass 300–400% retail markups.
Clients gain access to collector-grade gemstones sourced directly from trusted miners, cutters, and top-tier wholesalers. Every stone is carefully vetted for color, clarity, cut, treatment status, origin, and long-term value potential, ensuring acquisitions meet true investment-grade standards.
All gemstones are accompanied by certification from globally respected laboratories, including GIA, AGL, and Gübelin.
Ethical Sourcing, Transparency & Expert Oversight
Ethical sourcing is central to Joseph’s work. His long-standing relationships with miners and wholesalers ensure that gemstones are acquired through responsible, transparent supply chains.
Each gemstone is personally evaluated and verified, with a focus on:
-
Natural origin
-
Minimal or no treatment
-
Provenance transparency
-
Long-term collectability and resale value
Joseph personally accompanies clients throughout the entire sourcing process, offering independent, conflict-free guidance at every step.
A Luxury, Personalized Gemstone Experience
Every Gemstone Safari is fully customized and intentionally limited to maintain privacy and exclusivity.
Clients enjoy:
-
Private appointments with elite gemstone dealers

One-on-one guidance from Joseph throughout the journey

This is not retail shopping.
