THE FINEST SELECTION OF GEMSTONES AND PEARLS FOR THE CREATIVE JEWELER

For almost 3 decades I have been supplying jewelry designers, manufacturers, retailers,craftspeople, gem dealers, and collectors with the finest gemstones and pearls available anywhere. I search the world over for the choicest gems that always have the extra pizazz that the most creative and artistic jewelers demand.

My education was in the natural sciences [chemistry, biology, psychology and a bit of geology] and I wound up teaching science for a while in the NYC school system. One day, quite by accident I stumbled into a world that I did not know of before -- the world of Gems and Minerals and Jewelry.It was love at first glance - here was a fantastic world that brought together my love of science and nature and an almost equal love of the arts. In a very short time span I realized that I could gather up some of natures most wonderous creations and bring them to to the most creative jewelers all across the country.

I personally hand pick every single gemstone and pearl in my extensive inventory which runs the gamut from amber to zircon. Though I stock lots of regular sizes and shapes, I especially love the slightly more unusual forms of everything that I deal with.

Some of the more interesting items that I carry a big selection of are:
