Exquisite Gem Cutting & Polishing Supervisor of Mines in the State of Israel.
The Holy Land Gems are gifts from G-d, whose very revelation in nature and especially in the depth of the Holy Land, is a valuable miracle in itself. However, their full potential is realized by human’s touch – the cutting which releases the internal beauty of the gem and creates the mesmerizing glimmer which makes a gem so fascinating. Each gem from the Holy Land goes through a delicate & highly skilled process by our experienced master cutters and polishers, when the type of cut for each gem is professionally and carefully chosen in order to maintain the maximum possible size of the gem, and by maximizing the revelation of its natural beauty.

Precious gems with such a rare sacred origin, deserve only the highest quality presentable platform, and any additional ‘materials’ that make up the end piece of jewelry must meet the same standard. Accordingly, all our jewelry made of 18K gold and set (in addition to our unique Holy Land gems) also with small diamonds of VS collection quality, and crafted by experienced master jewelers in high-end fine quality.
Our Inspiration
The Holy Land is traditionally synonymous with the biblical Land of Israel. The Holy Land has long been and still is a pilgrimage destination for all believers in the G d of Abraham .
The holiness of the land as a destination of Christian pilgrimage contributed to launching the Crusades, as European Christians sought to win back the Holy Land from Muslims, who had conquered it from the Christian Eastern Roman Empire in the 630s.
Many sites in the Holy Land have long been pilgrimage destinations for adherents of the Abrahamic religions, including Jews, Chr istians, Muslims, and Baháʼís Pilgrims visit the Holy Land to touch and see physical manifestations of their faith, to confirm their beliefs in the holy context with collective excitation, and to connect personally to the Holy Land.
Professor Eliezer Schweid , a distinguished summed it up best: “The uniqueness of the Land of Israel is…’geo theological’ and not merely climatic. This is the land which faces the entrance of the spiritual world, that sphere of existence that lies be yond the physical world known to us through our senses. This is the key to the land’s unique status with regard to prophecy and prayer”.
The Visionary
Although there are many verses in the Bible that indicate the presence of precious gems in the Holy Land of Israel, no one in documented history has ever thought of mining for precious gems in the Holy Land, especially in light of the geological information that was known about the area, that is until 1988.
That is until 1988 , when the grand rabbi & international spiritual leader, the Lubavitcher Rebbe, revealed to the world that precious gems do exist in the Holy Land, and indicated the precise area “in the valley of Haife “.This revelation led to the establishment of the first mining company in the world (Shefa in Israel (G.M.) Ltd), by the late Mr. Abraham Taub, who decided, in a bold and unprecedented move, to start exploration for precious gems in Northern Israel as indicated by the holy Rabbi.
As it turns out, even the greatest skeptics had to admit that the Rebbe was right… when, as of today, the mining company is holding the rights to the first deposit of precious gems ever discovered and officially declared in the Holy Land Israel Israel.We would not have dreamed of looking for precious gems in the Holy Land (given the information that was at the time) if not for the vision of this monumental worldwide spiritual leader.
Menachem Mendel Schneerson , known to many as the Lubavitcher Rebbe or simply as The Rebbe, is considered one of the most influential Jewish leaders of the 20 th century, and had great influence on numerous political leaders from across the world, many of whom (including, Presidents, Prime Ministers, Governors, Senators, Congressmen and Mayors) would seek his advice.In 1978 , the U.S. Congress, by President Jimmy Carter designated the Rebbe s birthday as the National Education and Sharing Day, which calls for increased focus on education, and recognizes the lifelong efforts of the Rebbe for education.
The Founders
Our story begins with Chanan (Chune) Taub, Holocaust survivor, decorated member of the founders of the State of Israel and a pioneer in the Israeli Diamonds, Gemstones and Jewelry industry. In the early 1950 s, he founded one of the first commercial diamond polishing factories in the country.
The Holy Land Gems are gifts from G-d, whose very revelation in nature and especially in the depth of the Holy Land, is a valuable miracle in itself. However, their full potential is realized by human’s touch – the cutting which releases the internal beauty of the gem and creates the mesmerizing glimmer which makes a gem so fascinating. Each gem from the Holy Land goes through a delicate & highly skilled process by our experienced master cutters and polishers, when the type of cut for each gem is professionally and carefully chosen in order to maintain the maximum possible size of the gem, and by maximizing the revelation of its natural beauty.

Unified sustainability
Since our journey to finding the gems in the Holy Land would not have begun without the Lubavitcher Rebbe’s prophetic vision the obvious step on our part is to help advance his main global vision as well.
The Lubavitcher Rebbe is an international spiritual leader, who loved and dedicated his life to the good and welfare of, not only Jews, but to all of humanity, all those who seek inspiration from giants who teach us to live selflessly, righteously and lovingly.
In 1983 the Rebbe launched a global campaign to promote the observance of a universal code of morality among all people, stating that th is was the basis for human rights for all civilization the universal guide to life for all of mankind, and established a global infrastructure that will turn the world for the bett er and bring the world to perfection.
Currently, the global network of the Lubavitcher Rebbe, about 5,000 emissaries who maintain educational and social centers of good deeds, in almost every country in the world.
In support, Holy Gems donates 10 % of its profits from sales, to fund the philanthropic activities of the non profit organizations established by the Rebbe’s emi ssaries with the aim of spreading goodness and kindness thus making the world a beautiful gem.
