About
Finewater Gems offers fine colored gemstones to discerning gemstone collectors and jewelry artists. High quality rough gemstones were hand-selected for color and clarity, timeless designs were chosen that will optimize their beauty and long-term value, and each facet was meticulously cut and polished to a flawless finish. Sometimes gemstones are purchased as poorly cut stones and recut; other times nicely cut stones are left as-is because they already meet my high standards. A beautiful gemstone took millions of years to be formed in the earth and arrive in my hands, so I do not rush the process or lower my exacting cutting standards - unlike the "time is money" attitude of many others. I take immense pride in all of my gemstones, and happily accept the amount of time necessary to unleash the unique beauty and character of each and every Finewater gemstone.
I have traveled extensively around the world to buy at gemstone sources and trading centers. My travels have taken me to Thailand, Myanmar (Burma), Cambodia, Sri Lanka, China, Singapore, India, Vietnam, Nepal, Kenya, Tanzania, Namibia, Zambia, Botswana, South Africa, Germany, Brazil, Colombia, Australia and many other countries on all seven continents.
To ensure that Finewater photographs closely resembles the actual gemstone, I've designed and built a custom photography studio that incorporates color-calibrated cameras, lighting, and monitors to ensure the best color accuracy and resolution. The amount of work that goes into providing high-quality photographs is not insignificant, but the extra efforts show the detail that goes into a Finewater gemstone.
I believe in full transparency, so I openly display all gemstone characteristics, treatments and prices to everyone.
It's important to me that you be thrilled with your gemstone, therefore I offer a liberal return policy in the unlikely event that it does not meet your expectations.
