About Us
The First Congolese-Owned Precious Stones Trading Counter
At Éclat d’Afrique, we are transforming the Congolese precious stones industry by establishing the first official trading counter dedicated to ethical, transparent, and professional gemstone trade. Our journey began with a mission to empower miners across the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), where access to a reliable trading platform was nonexistent. Local miners, who had been accumulating an exceptional range of gemstones in their homes due to a lack of accessible markets, can now confidently bring their gems to Éclat d’Afrique to receive fair prices and benefit from their land’s natural wealth.
Our Mission
Éclat d’Afrique was founded to serve as a central, trusted hub for the ethical exchange of Congolese precious stones. By providing miners a secure platform to sell their gemstones, we bridge the gap in Congo’s gemstone industry, offering opportunities for fair income and supporting miners’ livelihoods.
As a proudly Congolese-owned trading counter, we believe in leading the local industry, uplifting communities, and empowering Congo to thrive in the global gemstone market. Our mission is to redefine the sector by setting new standards of fairness, transparency, and professionalism that reflect the values of the DRC.
Our Vision
At Éclat d’Afrique, we envision the Democratic Republic of Congo as a global leader in the ethical trade of gemstones, where Congo’s precious resources foster sustainable prosperity for local communities and pride on the international stage. Our goal is to make Congolese gemstones renowned worldwide, aligning their natural beauty with a reputation for integrity, quality, and innovation.
Integrity is the foundation of Éclat d’Afrique. We are dedicated to transparency and ethical standards that ensure trust at every step of the gemstone supply chain. By upholding these values, we support the sustainable growth of the Congolese gemstone industry, fostering confidence among clients and communities alike.
