Kevin Gauthier (owner) is a native of Traverse City and honed his lapidary skills early, having opened his first shop at the age of fourteen.

By collecting, cutting and polishing many of the local gem stones, he offers expert local craftsmanship not found in other stores. His love of rock, gems and minerals led him to a career as a full service fine jeweler with the unique ability to transform rocks into beautifully polished gemstones. GIA (Gemological Institure of America) coursework, apprenticeships and on-the-Job training has given him skill, knowledge and experience in the processes used in both jewelry design and repair. Kevin's lapidary knowledge and insight of cutting gem stones from around the world enables him to make lasting designs while protecting fragile stones. He is a lifetime member of the Grand Traverse Rock & Mineral Club. He takes an active roll with the membership including teaching lapidary classes, casting classes and serving as chairman of the Grand Traverse Rock & Mineral Show. On occasion Kevin will speak at local school about his hands-on experience of mining Amethyst, Quartz, Michigan's Green Stone, and many mining expeditions. He is a graduate of Michigan State University.

No two custom pieces are ever exactly alike, and that’s what makes them special.

A true showcase of the artistry and craftsmanship that happens right here at Korner Gem.

This custom-made loon bolo tie was hand crafted by our talented jewelers and lapidary artists, combining multiple materials into a single wearable work of art. The loon was carefully carved from Shadow Agate and Snowflake Obsidian, accented with a genuine ruby gemstone eye, and set against a hand-carved water scene created from beautiful Leland Blue. The entire piece is framed in sterling silver and designed as a one-of-a-kind creation for its owner.

Projects like this highlight what’s possible when imagination, craftsmanship, and natural stone come together.

Have a unique idea of your own? Whether it’s a custom piece of jewelry, a special keepsake, or something completely original, stop in and see us. We’d love to help bring your vision to life.
