Whether you choose to allow us to cut, design, and set. Or buy one of our stones for your own ideas and designs, it's entirely up to you. We offer at least one concept that few others can - the ability to design your jewelry from the gemstone rough, through the cutting, and finally to the finished setting. An example of one such finished product is in this image
. We took a 15ct Citrine rough (yes, that stone is a Red Madeira Citrine), cut it in a double brilliant round style (twice the number of facets of a regular round brilliant), at a final weight of 5.02 cts., designed a custom 18K yellow gold ladies ring, and set it with tapered baguette diamonds. It wouldn't be fair to my customer to tell what her ring cost but it was 40% less than the nearest competitor. We have had similar results with other pieces, and we have the proof and customer claims to back it up.
Now, you may be uneasy about doing business over the Internet, truth is, so are we, that is one reason that we haven't set up online ordering. That said and done though, we think the Internet is like most other media, you browse a magazine or journal advertisement, and then call or visit the showroom. The difference is that here we bring our showroom to you, you can visit, browse, ask questions to your hearts content, without fear of high sales pressure - we can't make you buy anything, we don't even accept it online. Instead, we ask you to establish some degree of trust, through email, by letter, or phone - much as you would do with a mail or TV order company.
Much of the jewelry industry is run from the same kind of trust relationship. We all rely on good service and the trust bond built on mutual respect. For first steps try emailing us with your questions, concerns, doubts, and fears. The best thing about the Internet is that you can be as anonymous as you want, which may lead to another question(s) you have for us. Where are we, who are we, how do we see you? We are a small company with over 28 years experience in the industry, but due to the nature of our business - concentrated wealth in a very small package - it is inherently unsafe for us to use such an open medium and then tell everyone in the world (literally) who we are, where we are, and how to get to us. As I said, we are small, we don't have a huge inventory or big showroom. Instead we pass on those unspent costs and let you reap the benefit of superior gemstones and unique design.
We have an Internet presence for our showroom and rely on our satisfied customers to protect us from the unsavory elements, that we could be exposed to. So, you see, the importance of email and the trust equation, on both sides, is a critical element of our business.
