The Gemstones you see are the end product of many hands. Our material is always selected by us. Sometimes it starts with us selecting the rough and cutting ourselves. Sometimes we have something specific in mind and have someone cut the rough for us. Other times we might buy or trade for someone elses work, but only if it meets our standards. Enjoy.
