My Business Philosophy
Nobody's perfect but we can all strive for excellence. And I do try to give all my stones an excellent cut
and polish. I may grind away a little more material to achieve a " fine make" but it will be worth it in the end with
a much more beautiful gem
About Me
I've been cutting gems for over 41 years now and often look back at my beginnings when my lapidary shop consisted of
and old washing machine motor whith a sanding and polishing head mounted on the shaft with an aluminum pan and foil as
a splash shield. It was crude but hey! I was cutting stones! Now I have numerous saws, grinders, sanders, polishers and faceting
machines. During high school I worked at a rock shop part time and then full time before trying diamond cutting as a
profession. I earned my Graduate Gemologist diploma from the Gemological Institute of America in 1980 and have been cutting
colored stones and diamonds as my profession ever sence.
