Every stone we offer is hand chosen, twice. We travel widely to find spectacular indigenous rocks. We also purchase stones one by one, often from miners, prospectors or their direct agents, including once each year at the Tucson Gem Shows.

Design is organic and inherent, both in the way Joe will cut, shape and polish a new stone and in my role as I fashion unique settings and wraps to allow the stone itself to shine with joy and confidence that its gemstone setting has timeless build quality.

We are passionate that our work never involves damaging the stone – with holes, glue or in any other way. The stones we choose deserve the respect of our only working in sterling, fine silver or gold to showcase them. When you fall in love with one of our pieces, we want that love to be forever. It is really Nature that “creates” a stone – we “can only add emphasis.”
