Information & Education

For us, Matt & CJ, we are working on informing and educating jewelers on the differences between quality hand precision faceted gemstones and overseas bulk cut gemstones. Our one grievance is that many of the jewelers we have connected with in the past 25 years, seem to think that a cut gemstone is just for flash and not for quality & the best shape for the gemstone. Many of the 'whole sale' jewelery stores sell inferior quality colored gemstones in their jewelery for the whole sale buyer who does not necessarily care about the quality cut, color, or precision of the gemstone, but rather the 'flash' of the jewelery.

This makes it difficult for the precision hand facetor who precision facets quality gemstones to compete with these lower priced, inferior quality gems. Quality Matters

Our goal is to help inform & educate our customers of the time, precision, and care that go into the special hand cut gems of a facetor. Your gemstones are unique and special. We take pride in our high quality faceting, repair work & jewelry.
