From Idea to Finished Ring, we love helping you create something perfect!

It all starts with your vision. We work with you to create a design and transform that idea into a detailed 3D rendering so you can see your piece before it's made. Once you approve, our trusted manufacturing partner in Louisiana creates the casting, and the finished mounting is sent to us for final stone setting, inspection, and finishing touches.

Whether you're dreaming of an engagement ring, anniversary gift, or a special piece that tells your story, we're here to guide you through every step of the process.

One of the things we love most about what we do is that no two weeks are ever the same.

This week in the lapidary shop, we're:
Refaceting an orange sapphire
Cutting a stunning large bicolor tourmaline for one of our favorite customers
Working on polishing cuprite specimens for research with Purdue University

From gemstones to scientific research projects, our cutting room is always full of surprises.

Stop by and see what we're working on next!
