Very proud to partner with @aweik_ke @PactWorld to bring the gems of these women miners to market!
In 2022, #AWEIK conducted 5 market days in a bid to create direct market linkages between Artisanal Small Scale gemstone sellers with regional and international buyers. The #MineToMarket initiative is part of #AWEIK's Women's economic empowerment program. #TrueToMine @moyogems

A sight to behold! The Kenyan Cut presented by Virtu Gems at the #GemsAfrica2022. The Kenya National Gemstone Cut is based on the Cheetah as a symbol of speed and beauty.  The cheetah head is reflected in multiple facets across the gemstone design. #GemsofAfrica #KenyanCut
