history

Hello again & please read on for the details of my specific training, gems setting capabilities, and references.

Commencing in the early 1990's completed various courses at GIA, including:

Diamond Grading
Diamonds
Gemstone Identification
Colored Stones.

In 2006, I further refined my gem setting techniques by completing Advanced Stone Setting at The New Approach School in Virgina
Beach, VA.

Throughout the years I have the chance to travel extensively abroad and along the way have made many important and trustworthy
contacts and friends worldwide for the supply of our gem rough.

I, along with our staff, maintain a program of continuing education in the gem world by attending exclusive gem trade shows such as
AGTA and GJX, taking regular courses, along with subscribing to periodicals including:

Gem & Gemology
The Guide
Lapidary Journal
Jewelers Circular

Please see the following comments from a few of our satisfied customers throughout the United States.
