Composition and History

The name "Quadrature" stands for the four main constituents that lead to the manufacture of a Custom made Jewelry piece: Design, modeling, metals and gemstones.
Our main goals are the elimination of intermediaries, access to a small group of qualified people, and all of this in the gemstone trading capital of the world, where labor is talented and inexpensive. It is this formula that enables us to carry out our customers' creations with high quality standards at prices completely incomparable to those of western production facilities.
