KORITE 2025: Expanding Horizons, Building Community, and Sharing the Story of Ammolite
As 2025 comes to a close, we reflect on a year of growth, connection, and meaningful milestones at KORITE. From strengthening our global presence to deepening community engagement, this year has been about laying the foundation for exciting opportunities in 2026.
Expanding Our Presence
This year, KORITE strengthened its presence in markets we haven’t explored in years, reconnecting with partners and collectors across Asia and the Middle East. These efforts reflect our ongoing commitment to sharing the story of Ammolite with new audiences while supporting our valued community worldwide.
Building Community
Community has been at the heart of our work this year. We’ve celebrated meaningful partnerships within the Indigenous community, participated in new associations, and joined organizations that reflect our values and support growth opportunities, including:
- American Gem Society (AGS)
- International Colored Gemstone Association (ICA)
- RapNet by Rapaport
- Tourism Calgary
- Indigenous Tourism Alberta
- Better Business Bureau (BBB)
These memberships reinforce our dedication to excellence, authenticity, and community engagement, while opening doors to new initiatives and collaborations in 2026.
Sharing Our Story
2025 was a remarkable year for news coverage, editorial opportunities, and thought leadership. With over 30 pieces of news and contribution articles, KORITE shared the beauty, heritage, and innovation of Ammolite with audiences around the world.
Some highlights include coverage in The New York Times, ICA InColor Magazine, Jewellery Business, and Indigenous SME. These opportunities allowed us to showcase our leadership, highlight our innovative jewelry designs, and tell the story of Canada’s gemstone—further establishing KORITE as a trusted authority in the colored gemstone industry.

Looking Ahead to 2026
As we turn the page to 2026, our focus is clear: continue building global connections, deepen community engagement, and share the wonder of Ammolite with more collectors, designers, and enthusiasts than ever before. We are inspired by the support and excitement of everyone who has joined us on this journey and look forward to another year of innovation, collaboration, and celebration of Canada’s extraordinary gemstone.
Here’s to a bright, colourful, and meaningful year ahead.
