Moldavite & Wollem

November 2024

Moldavite, one of the world's most intriguing gemstones, has long captured the fascination of collectors and jewelry enthusiasts alike. Born of a meteorite impact nearly 15 million years ago in what is now central Europe, moldavite has a unique origin that contributes to its deep green hue and distinct energy. However, with natural reserves dwindling, the journey to acquire high-quality moldavite has become more challenging than ever.

A Decline in Supply

The mining activities for moldavite have recently seen a significant downturn due to limited natural reserves. This reduced availability has led to a surge in the value of moldavite, reshaping the landscape for jewelry designers and collectors alike. At Wollem, we recognize this shift and are dedicated to sourcing only the finest moldavite stones, ensuring that each piece in our collection meets our high standards.

Embracing Larger Stones for Collection Value

With the rising cost of raw moldavite, cutting smaller stones has become impractical. The labor-intensive process and wastage associated with cutting from rough moldavite add to the expense, making smaller stones less feasible. Consequently, at Wollem, we focus on larger stones, acknowledging both their aesthetic beauty and the value they hold as collectibles. These larger pieces not only showcase the natural beauty of moldavite but also stand as unique, investment-worthy items.

The Future of Moldavite in Fine Jewelry

As the supply of moldavite diminishes and demand increases, this gemstone’s market value is expected to continue its upward trajectory. For collectors and enthusiasts, now may be the ideal time to invest in larger, high-quality pieces that carry a distinct story and possess undeniable rarity. At Wollem, we remain committed to offering the best available moldavite, providing our customers with pieces that represent both exceptional craftsmanship and enduring value.

Moldavite’s rarity and rising value make it a gem worth treasuring, and we invite you to explore our collection to experience its beauty firsthand.
