New jewelry added most days! Fast shipping and friendly knowledgeable service! For the last 24 years it has been my pleasure to source gemstones from around the world and turn them into beautiful pieces of jewelry. My aim is to provide a quality product at a great price while maintaining outstanding customer service.

About Me:

Stones have been a lifelong passion of mine. As a young boy I would pick up any interesting rocks that I found and bring them home. In my teens and early twenties I was constantly looking for opportunities to venture out in search of new and exciting stones as well as taking every school course I could that would allow me to study rocks. So after graduating it probably came as no surprise to anyone that knew me when I jumped right into the gemstone business with both feet. That was 24 years ago and I’m still just as in love with the gemstone business today as I was when I first started.


Ethical sourcing of earth mined gemstones:

I consider myself so fortunate to be able to travel internationally in search of gemstones for my clients. During my travels I’ve had the opportunity to learn about so many different countries and their cultures as well as seeing what a positive impact the gemstone industry has on the communities that mine these stones as well as the earth friendly mining techniques that are used. Dealing only in ethically sourced stones is very important to me. I also only deal in earth mined gemstones. When you buy from me you can also rest assured that you are receiving a genuine earth mined gemstone and not a lab grown, man made or other fake stone. Sadly there are a tremendous amount of fake stones being passed off as real so it is critical to be very selective about who you deal with.

Certification of authenticity:

Most of the jewelry that I sell is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity issued by a gemologist at a reputable laboratory. I deal with multiple labs in the USA and Canada. Occasionally I will use other international labs if they have the equipment and expertise to deal in a particular type of gemstone.


Keeping prices low:

I typically purchase my gemstones as close to the source as possible and in very large parcels containing hundreds or even thousands of carats at a time. By purchasing in large volume and not dealing with any unnecessary middle men I am able to negotiate for the best prices. I then turn the loose gemstones into jewelry myself (another passion of mine). I really enjoy working with sterling silver. Of all the precious metals silver is the most cost effective and yet is still durable and looks great. That said most of my pieces can be upgraded to 14K white or yellow gold for an additional fee.


Knowledgable and prompt service:

Having collected and studied stones of all types from a very young age as well as having 24 years of experience in the gemstone industry you can rest assured that you are in good hands. If you have questions about any of my gems I will be happy to answer them. I am also proud to offer prompt replies to all inquires and fast shipping on all orders received.


Layaway payment plans:

I offer a very popular layaway plan that works as follows. The minimum payment for items over $500 is 10%. For items under $500 the minimum payment is $50 USD. The first payment is due upfront to start the process. Sorry I don’t hold any items without payment. Subsequent payments are due monthly and the minimum is also 10% or $50 whichever is greater. Of course larger or more frequent payments can be made at the buyers request. There is a 10% restocking fee (based on the full price of the item) on lay away orders that are cancelled or returned. Payments made more than 180 days prior will become a store credit rather than refund.


Custom work:

Want a personalized one of a kind piece of jewelry made just for you or your loved one? Please feel free to reach out and we can discuss bringing your vision to life.

Custom alterations are available on most of the jewelry that I sell. The most commonly requested customizations that I am able to fulfil are listed below:



Ring resizing. Can go up or down by 2 full sizes on any ring. Larger adjustments can be made on some rings.



Change earring closure style. In almost all cases my stud earrings can be converted from the standard butterfly backs to screwbacks. In many cases studs can be converted to hooks or leverbacks and vice versa.



Necklace length. Most of my pendants come on either a 16" or 18" sterling silver necklace. Upgrades to 20" and 24" necklaces are available.



Upgrading sterling silver ring, pendant or earring settings for identical 14K white or 14K yellow gold settings.



Gift wrapping and/or card with a special message from the sender.



Additional charges apply for most of the upgrades mentioned above. Please contact me for a quote.
