I live in the Western New York area, and am a Mechanical Engineer by schooling. The gem cutting started out as a hobby, then quickly became a very expensive one. I eventually started selling some stones to friends and coworkers, and then to many of the local jewelers in the Buffalo area. My wife then started this business and handles all the commerce end of things and is the president. This way I can concentrate on the cutting and buying or rough stones. With this web site, my client base has grown over the US and into Europe. Now the stones have pretty much taken over and we have friends in various gem trades from several countries in Africa Brazil and all over the USA. The stones are my passion, and each one of these hand cut gemstones is cut with extreme care and attention to detail making them a work of art.
If you have any questions or comments about the stones on the site feel free to call or write. I have a quite a variety of rough, and would be happy to custom cut a gemstone for you. A custom gem is a one of kind.
