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.

Brazil is the largest producer of fine gem quality Topaz, specifically in the state of Minas Gerias. The imperial version of topaz was discovered there in the town of Ouro Preto in 1735. The little town of Ouro Preto in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil, is the only locality in which commercially significant deposits of precious topaz are found. No other locality, no other country produces this Imperial version of Topaz.*
