About
I am a graduate in the College of Architecture and Design at Lawrence Technological University where I majored in honors Industrial Design. I am also working on my Graduate in Gemology at The Gemological Institute of America.
I originally began my company designing and creating pinecone pendants. My most popular pieces utilized gemstones and sacred geometry keeping true to my passion for color and patterns. In addition to handcrafting jewelry, I now possess the skills to market my goods and run a small business.
Since then, I now specialize in gem cutting. My favorite stones to work with are sapphire, tourmaline, and spinel. I am more than happy to cut any kind of stone into any kind of shape as well. When I cut a gemstone, I try to follow the shape that the rough gemstone originally came in, in hopes of enhancing its natural beauty, and giving the gemstones a personality of their own.
FAQ
Do I have a return policy?
Yes, once a stone is received in the mail, you have 48 hours to look over the gem before deciding to keep or return the stone(s). There will be a 15% restocking fee and refunds will be issued once I receive the stone in the mail. If the stone arrives back to me damaged (scratches, chips, cracked) the stone will not be refunded and you can decide to pay to have me recut the stone, or I can send the stone back with no refund.
Do I cut stones that are sent to me in the rough?
At this moment in time, I do not. However, I have a blog post with a list of different lapidaries I recommend you to reach out to if you have your own gemstones that you are looking to have cut.
Do I cut diamonds?
No. Next question.
Do I make jewelry?
No, however, I do have a list of jewelers I recommend for people to inquire with about custom jewelry.
