About Gem Selections

 

“Gem Stones is our religion” – Gem Selections



Gem Selections came into being on 13th January, 1987 as a sole proprietorship firm. At that time, Gem Selections’  main line of business was buying raw Gem stones from the mines, getting them cut and polished (Lapidary Work) and then supplying these Gemstones to various Jewellers across the Indian subcontinent. 

In 1994, a wholesale & retail outlet was set up by Gem Selections in JanakPuri,New Delhi and it has been handling its marketing operations from there since then. In addition to selling Gemstones it also started manufacturing Diamond & Gem studded Jewellery and Handicrafts made of Semi-Precious& Rough Gems and selling these in wholesale and retail mode. In 1996, Gem Selections also started sellingRudraksha and other related products. 

In 1997, Khanna Gems Pvt. Limited took over Gem Selections with Pankaj Khanna and Anu Khanna as its Directors. 

It requires specialised knowledge, training and experience to judge the value and quality of Gem Stones. We at Gem Selections, are dedicated to the highest standards of ethics to help our customers choose the right Gem Stones which are of the highest quality at the most affordable prices in the market. We always keep ourselves updated about whatever is new in the field of Gem Stones, Diamonds, Jewellery and our other trade products.

A strange love story…



Pankaj Khanna always had a strange fascination for Gemstones and Jewellery. Even as a young child he used to visit jewellers and used to see their show – windows from outside. He wanted to do this trade from the childhood but had no knowledge or family background for the same. After completing his graduation from Sri Venketeshwara College, Delhi University he went to Surat to formally study Gemology and did a certificate course in Gemology and wanted to start Gemstones business fulltime. He started his business venture with Rs.1000 on 13th January,1987.

But simultaneously he had given competitive exams due to social dogma. He was selected in NTPC, a public sector undertaking and joined NTPC on the 5th day of March 1987. 

But his heart pulled him away and in March 1994 he left his Govt. job and ventured full time into his cherished business. He started the business as a supplier to Jewellers and Astrologers across North India. 

In 1997, Pankaj Khanna founded Khanna Gems Private Limited, a company dealing in retail and wholesale of Gemstones, Diamonds, Jewellery, Handirafts, Rudraksha and other related products.Pankaj Khanna while handling the business operations of KhannaGems Pvt.
