|||||

unheated color.

Why should I purchase tanzanite from you? |
|||||
|
Jewelry and gemstones are our area of expertise. Most jewelers start with
a mass produced piece of jewelry and find a gemstone to fit it which
limits the gemstones to only those which exactly fit the jewelry so the
quality of that gemstone is often sacrificed. We start with a high quality
gemstone cut in our shop to the exact jewelry piece and build a mounting
to fit the gemstone which becomes the central focus of the jewelry. When shopping for gemstone jewelry, where else will you find a jeweler who designs, manufactures, and travels the world for rough gemstones and cuts gemstones for their jewelry to exacting proportions. - Steve Moriarty
