OUR STORY
Dating back to 400 B.C., and even before the Spanish colonization, Muzo’s legendary emerald mine in western Boyacá, Colombia, is steeped in rich history, spanning the globe from ancient civilizations to the opulence of royal courts in the New World. The unparalleled beauty of its vibrant green gemstones is imbued with mysticism and spirituality, symbolic of its storied past. Since 2009 when The Muzo companies took over, Muzo is enjoying a dynamic renaissance and revitalization as an integrated, modern “Mine to Maison” house, known as Muzo Emerald Colombia. While the house maintains the splendor that characterized emeralds from antiquity to Hollywood aristocracy, its contemporary arm is paving the way for the future through distinctive artistry and a steadfast commitment to traceability, transparency and environmental impact.
