About us

Noelle Habib is a second generation colored gemstone dealer and owner of Noelle Habib Gems. She spent the first 10 years of her career working alongside her father as Managing Director of Kaiser Gems, a multinational colored gemstone house and lapidary. 

Her legacy in the gemstone industry has given her the opportunity to oversee the sourcing and production of gemstones from rough to cut.  These experiences give Noelle personal insight into the importance and process of responsibly sourcing the gemstones she sells by maintaining the chain of custody from start to finish.  Social and environmental activism are not only a part of her personal values, but she also treats the work of Noelle Habib Gems with the same consideration.

Noelle now works with designers, manufacturers and jewelers throughout the Bay Area and the United States, offering a unique inventory of colored gems as well as bespoke gemstone cutting services.  She is serving on the board of the Women’s Jewelry Association NorCal chapter and draws inspiration from helping other women thrive in the industry.

Buying and selling gemstones has taken Noelle all over the world.  She is grateful that a shared love for beautiful stones connects her with a wide array of people from vastly different backgrounds and cultures.
