The Gem Museum is the first gems and minerals museum in Singapore, open to the public since 2015. It is founded by husband and wife, Mr. Tay Kunming and Ms. Loke Huiying who are trained gemmologists (learn gemology at https://fareastgem.institute). It features a wide variety of gemstones and minerals from all corners of the world. Its purpose is to educate visitors on the Mine to Market pipeline with regards to Value, Quality and Authenticity. A bespoke jewellery boutique called The King's Bespoke is housed on the 3rd level of the museum, here you can experience selecting gemstones and working with a gemologist and jewellery designer to create a beautiful piece of jewellery!
The Gem Museum is a place where learning is highly favoured and relationship building within the industry is encouraged. It envisions to be the international platform that bridges the gems and jewellery industry with the rest of the world.
