Gebrüder Meelis oHG from Kirschweiler near Idar-Oberstein in Germany is a gemstone cutting company, engaged in the distribution of rough and cut precious stones.
Enthralled by the fascination of precious gemstones and following in the footsteps of our grandfather and great-grandfather, who also worked successfully as gemstone cutters in the early twentieth century, we established our own company "Gebrüder Meelis oHG" in 1972. Started with high quality opals from Australia, now we offer a broad range of colored gemstones from all over the world. Here, we have specialized in the precise cutting of cabochons. Now in its fifth generation, the mixture of traditions and changes, duration and development, conservatism and innovations is the base for our continuously growing gemstone business. All our gemstones are cut using state-of-the-art technologies, tools, methods and processes.
Our gemstones cut in Germany are unique treasures from the hands of highly trained and experienced craftsmen.

The Gemstone Cutting Workshop - Traditional Craftsmanship with Modern Technology

In order to create precisely cut gemstones from inconspicuous rough stones, not only experience, a very good eye and a steady hand are necessary, but also the right tools and a wide variety of machines. Modern gemstone cutting machines help with the processing of the gemstones in our gemstone cutting factory with every single step.
The quality of gemstone processing, from the selection of suitable rough stones to the final cut, is constantly monitored in order to meet our requirements and those of our customers. Our gemstones are processed in a number of complex and finely coordinated processes - from sawing and cutting to absolutely perfect polishing.
Our gemstone cutters not only have specialist knowledge of gemstones, their properties and special features, but also a deep technical understanding.
It is only in this combination that our cabochons and faceted gemstones become exceptional treasures, whether as individual stones or as calibrated gemstones cut in series.
