Hi Michael, I am a one-man operation, doing custom gemstone faceting in Southern California. I have good access to quality rough of virtually any type, and do my cutting and polishing on a state of the art, Ultratech V5 machine. I’m not interested in doing massive quantities of calibrated stones but invite inquiries on any custom needs. My current inventory is around 100 stones which include sapphire, emerald, spinel, many colors of tourmaline (chrome, pink, rubellite and more). I have a wide variety of beautiful garnet colors including Tsavorite Mandarin, Merelani mint, and red rhodolite. I also have Tanzanite, ruby, and some uniquely faceted Ethiopian opal. The majority of my stones have not received any treatment, but if any have received treatment, that information is always provided. My current inventory is not GIA certified but if that is a requirement, I am literally a short driving distance from GIA headquarters in Carlsbad California and obtaining certification is no problem. I also believe in reasonable pricing and that’s why I use the Gem World International pricing guide. It starts with color grading using their World Of Color, color grading system, and then establishes a wholesale price using a proprietary software program which is updated every two weeks to reflect current market conditions. For more information, please contact me,
