SAN DIEGO--()--Gepco, Ltd. (OTCQB: GEPC) announced today that its subsidiary, GemVest, Ltd., has purchased a new investment grade diamond.

GemVest purchased a 10.76 carat, round cut, nearly colorless, Hearts and Arrows diamond. This diamond was independently graded as “G” in color, SI1 in clarity with no florescence, triple excellent cut (excellent polish, cut and symmetry), and with perfect depth and table.

Hearts and Arrows diamonds are cut to ideal proportions with superior optical symmetry and a specific faceting pattern. When all these factors are in harmony the result is a repeatable, near perfect pattern of eight symmetrical arrows in the face up position and eight symmetrical hearts when viewed in the table down position.

“This is a spectacular stone,” Peter Voutsas, CEO of GemVest, said, commenting on the acquisition. “By being able to purchase this stone for half of the current Rapaport wholesale price, I anticipate that we will be able to at least triple our investment upon its sale.”

Angelique de Maison, Executive Chairman, commented, "It is very reassuring that our first purchase is such a substantial stone. The Rapaport price is over $500,000 and we paid half of that price. We are very confident that Peter will obtain the best price for us that will still represent fair value for the new owner. We are very determined to continue what we are starting here and have great confidence in the business model."
