The elumeo Group, which has its headquarters in Berlin, is the leading European online retailer of high-quality gemstone jewelry, which the Group mostly produces itself in Thailand. The publicly traded company elumeo offers its customers colored gemstone jewelry at comparatively low prices via a number of electronic distribution channels (including television, the Internet, smart TV and a smartphone app). Its distribution model relies exclusively on direct sales made via the elumeo Group's home-shopping TV channels in Germany, the UK and Italy, and via online stores in Germany, the UK, Italy, France, the Netherlands, Spain, Belgium and the USA. Lower cost items are marketed to customers worldwide via the Hong Kong-based "New York Gemstones" online stores. Furthermore, the company also offers a full line of jewelry on schmuck.de.

The elumeo Group was founded in Berlin, Germany, and Chanthaburi, Thailand, as a joint venture in 2008 and has grown very successfully ever since. In 2014, the companies that comprised the Group underwent a formal merger to bundle the operating business under the holding company elumeo SE. The elumeo Group employs approximately 1,100 people at five different locations worldwide.
