Our story
Kohvand was founded by Ahmadshah, a Dutch entrepreneur with family roots in Afghanistan. The idea is simple: bring emeralds and lapis lazuli from the Hindu Kush to European jewellers, with clear information about origin, treatment and documents.

What we can show you, stone by stone
We do not ask you to trust a label. For every stone we state where it comes from, which documents exist for it, and what an independent laboratory found.
Origin & Transparency →- Region of origin stated per stone: Panjshir for emerald, Badakhshan for lapis lazuli.
- Lab report from an independent laboratory named on the listing, where a report exists.
- Treatment written exactly as the lab report states it, never rounded up.
- Sanctions screening and supply-chain due diligence per delivery route.
