Jorge Rodriguez hails from Muzo, Colombia, famously known as the Emerald City for its legendary and most prized emeralds in the world. Growing up in a family deeply rooted in the emerald business, Jorge spent over two decades honing his expertise in gem mining, extraction, gemology, and jewelry creation. His profound knowledge and passion helped transform the family business into one of South America's premier mid-sized mining and distribution operations, renowned for its exceptional quality and craftsmanship.

However, Jorge's ambition extended beyond South America; he envisioned sharing his exquisite emeralds with the world. Determined to expand his wholesaling and jewelry operation into the burgeoning American gem and jewelry markets, he relocated to the United States in the late 1980s. There, he forged connections with industry leaders and established his boutique gem business in Jupiter, Florida. Now, over three decades later, thanks to the tireless efforts and unwavering support of family and friends, JR Colombian Emeralds has risen to prominence as a top-tier vendor, coveted by emerald buyers worldwide.

Our exquisite emeralds are sourced from Colombia's most renowned mines, including Chivor, Muzo, Cosquez, La Pita, and other prestigious locations. These stones are highly sought after for major museum exhibitions and by discerning private collectors. As the exclusive authorized wholesaler of these prized Colombian emeralds in Florida, JR Colombian Emeralds is the go-to destination for jewelers, international buyers, discerning consumers, "rock hounds," and emerald enthusiasts.
