Do you work with non traditional gems/found rocks?
Of course! If it is precious to you, it is precious to us. Our team treats every project with the same level of care and craftsmanship. It does not matter if you’re working with a sparkly diamond or a stone that you found outside your childhood home. Working with untraditional materials can be technically challenging, but we are always up for the task! — Noelle
Do you need to use gems? What if I don’t have any to work with?
Not at all! If you don’t have stones to work with, we can source colored gemstones or diamonds specifically selected for your project and what you’re looking for. If you’d like to create something without gemstones, that’s absolutely possible too.

My opal has a small crack in it. Can that be repaired and worked with?
Opals are so beautiful, but unfortunately, are notoriously susceptible to chips, cracks, and crazing. Depending on your opal, we may be able to keep it in its original setting or take it to the lapidary to polish out small chips. As for repair, there isn’t exactly 2-part epoxy made for gemstones, but we’ve come up with fairly ingenious solutions for broken gems. — Hannah
