I just got the sapphire and it's BEAUTIFUL! Thank you so much!
I received the gem and all I can say is WOW - it’s Gorgeous (my husband said the exact same thing when he saw it)! The color and cut are magnificent - it’s truly stunning. I appreciate it and everything you did to make sure I got a gem that made my heart sing! I’m so grateful… And so happy! Thank you again, very much!
I received it! It’s gorgeous!
Got the sapphire and it is everything I wanted and more.
The sapphire arrived today and I have to say I didn’t expect it to look as amazing as it did in your photos, but it actually looks even better! Somehow more green, and I couldn’t be happier! Thank you again for this project Gary, and for letting me buy this tiny piece of magic. It will be treasured every day.
I'm just reaching out now because my fiance and I finally actually got engaged and debuted the ring to everyone. I just wanted to share with you how incredibly thrilled I am with the stone! I have gotten non-stop comments and compliments about how gorgeous the stone is and how the color of the stone is truly stunning. I love the ring and a huge part of that is definitely the stone! It is so unique and also beautiful. I love that it seemingly changes color in different lights, sometimes vibrantly pink and other times a rich red. The cutting is perfect and you were totally right about the cut corners looking better! It gave the whole ring a soft floral vibe. Honestly, I can't stop looking at it and I could gush for days about how much I love it!
Thanks again, you did an incredible job!!
Once again my hat is off to you sir. What a terrific gem and what fine work. It's truly a wonderful garnet with that deep, limpid look you get in the best gems. You are very honest with the VVS description but this is one extremely clean stone. A par excellence specimen of a Mali garnet.
It's here and it's spectacular!! Thank you!!
Hello Mr. Gary!! I just received my stone and it is fabulous. Your cut is superb. Thanks so much!!
I just wanted to let you know I received my beautiful lab cushion sapphire, and I am absolutely thrilled, it is amazing! Thank you!
I could not wait so I opened it. It is beyond beautiful. I am looking forward to setting it soon. The color is perfect too and your cutting shows your level of expertise and dedication. A huge THANK YOU for getting it to me in time. I love it.
It just arrived. It's gorgeous. It's EXACTLY what I wanted; I let out a big, satisfied, "Aaaahhhhh...!" when I opened the box. :))
This yellow sapphire is perfect— it’s exactly what I wanted. Thank you so much.
All of your gems have been incredible. You are my absolute number one gem guy - would choose your gem vs anyone else's with ease.
Just letting you know I received my sapphire yesterday. It’s perfect! The colour was exactly what I wanted and it’s the perfect size.
Received earlier today! They look amazing, such a fantastic job. Thank you.
Your sapphire is amazing! Thank you a thousand times!
Your site is really impressive, as is your dedication to doing things the right way.
I received the stone, very very nice. One of the nicest greens I've seen.
Gary, the Zircon arrived a few minutes ago & I'm nuts about it! I love the gray & hints of yellow and the cutting is the BEST part. It's beautiful. Thank you!
Ooh just needed to add that I had a wonderful experience purchasing from Gary. He was so lovely and helpful, especially with postage options as I am all the way in Australia. He was also super prompt in responding to my emails! Such a LOVELY, professional vendor!
Gary, your package has arrived safely. I love the sapphire, it's beautiful and exactly what I was looking for! Your pictures captured it very well and I really appreciate that!
Gary, omg, this stone!!! This is the most beautiful garnet I've ever seen (and you know how much I love the demantoid I purchased from you), and I can't stop gazing it! I'm utterly enchanted and, as always, blown away by your talent. Thank you so much. I LOVE IT.
You did a phenomenal job with the cutting! Just stellar. Thanks so much, as always, for your beautiful stones.
Hi Gary, the gemstones are wonderful. I am really happy about them. Excellent cut and very good service. Happy to buy more of your stones...
The 3.45 ct sapphire is gorgeous! I am absolutely in love with it! I love the purple and blue hues that is reflected from different lightings. Colors were vivid and the clarity on the stone is incredible. Your videos in different lighting conditions helped immensely. Thank you so much for all your help and accommodations!
I just wanted to let you know that the tourmaline arrived yesterday and is even more beautiful than I imagined it would be. Thanks so much for sharing an example of your wonderful gem cutting with me!
I wanted to write to let you know I've received the spinel and I'm delighted with it. It is exactly the colour I was after. I think we'll be very happy together. Thanks for a smooth and fabulous transaction.
The garnet got here, and it is AMAZING! Really sensitive to light and changing color like crazy.
I just wanted to say that I love the 1.58 ct yellow sapphire that I just bought from you. As always, you're right on point with your descriptions, photos, stones and cuts.
I received the amethyst today and I love it! It's so beautiful - I spent quite a lot of time today viewing it in different lighting conditions. I wasn't planning on having it set (I collect loose gems for my own enjoyment), but now I'm thinking about possibly setting it - it's so gorgeous!! I think I'd like to wear it everyday :). The purple color is so rich in certain lighting, and then at other times I'm really surprised by how strong the blue tones are - it's wonderful!! And of course the cutting itself is simply wonderful, it showcases all of the best qualities of the gem itself. In my (long winded way, lol) I wanted to thank you for everything. I've purchased from a few of the "bigger name" cutters, but I really appreciated the stellar service you provided, even for what's really a more inexpensive gem. This is something I think all sellers should provide, but not all do.... But you certainly have, it's been a wonderful buying experience for me all the way around, and now I have this gorgeous amethyst!!
We received the stone and are very happy with it. It is beautiful! Thank you very much for your help.
I got the stone, Love this color, and shape. Very happy! Thank you!
The stone arrived today and it is amazing!!! Mindblowing.
Wore my spinel necklace over to drop something off at my jeweler this morning. They immediately demanded I take it off so they could loupe it. (We have that sort of relationship...) Both gentlemen that own the shop declared the spinel to be magnificent!
I received the garnet last week. It is beautiful.
The stone is here! It is a lot more beautiful than expected.
They are even more beautiful in person! Thank you so much.
I got it and it's GORGEOUS!
The spessartite arrived today. It is a beautiful stone and awesome cutting. Another fabulous job!
I got the peridot today. It's beautiful, I love it!
The stone is absolutely perfect; I am thrilled with it. It glows and shines and as a nice bonus, faces up larger than I was imagining. The packaging was lovely as well - it's really nice to have all of the trappings to undo and open. :) Thank you very much for a flawless transaction and beautiful emerald. I will be watching your site very closely for future stones and won't hesitate to purchase from you again.
I am so glad I emailed you when you posted this stone. I actually made a loud exclamation (Whoa!) when I opened the package. Thank goodness I was alone. Even with your accomplished photography, pictures don't even come close to representing this baby. It will be an amazing focal point for a necklace!
I opened up the package and my heart skipped a beat. Then I turned and the evening light hit the stone and it skipped a few more beats. Thank you so much!!!
Oh my, this is beautiful. I love it, thank you!
The sapphire arrived safely today. I love it! I am really pleased with it. I am surprised how sparkly it is because I generally don't think of sapphires as being terribly refractive, but this one sure seems to be... So, it is definitely a hit and my favorite of the three stones I have gotten from you! In fact, it probably ranks up there as one of my favorite stones period.
I just wanted to drop you a note and tell you the package arrived today. The stone is spectacular! Not only is the color as expected by the sparkle exceeded my expectations. No doubt due to your very skillful cutting.
I just received the stone and WOW it is gorgeous! You really do nice work.
I just wanted to let you know that the tourmaline arrived today, and I'm completely thrilled! I love the mix of green and blue, and how it shifts slightly in incandescent light... Nothing can quite capture the flash and brightness of this stone, and I have to say, it looks so much better in person than in your photos (not meant as a criticism, but a compliment!)
The stone arrived today. It is actually much nicer than it looked online. I am honored to have been the one to buy it. Thank you.
The sapphire arrived yesterday. It is really splendid. Really really splendid.
Just wanted to let you know that I had a very happy end to my day coming home to the gorgeous cushion spinel! It really is spectacular - the colour is a gorgeous and it is so sparkly! Thank you very much, it really has made me very happy.
Gary...that stone, WOW! I opened up the box this morning after I got into work, and it practically jumped out into my hand and said "I'm here, look at ME!. I couldn't be more pleased.
I just wanted to drop you a line and let you know that I received the Spessartite garnet you sent me. Beautiful little gem with a gorgeous cut. Thanks so much, it was a pleasure dealing with you.
The amethysts arrived Monday and I picked them up from the post office yesterday. I must admit I was stunned at how nice they are. I cannot wait to show them to my jewelers. The cut is amazing! You do beautiful work.
I just received the garnets - they are beautiful! Thank you!
I just wanted to let you know how pleased I am with the Grossular Garnet. It is really beautiful! The stone is so vibrant and bright.
Thank you very much, the stone is delightful and your cutting exquisite!
I thought the first Amethyst that you cut for me a couple of months ago was beautiful, but this one, I mean, is the Queen of all stones. Thank you.
Hi Gary, just to let you know I received the zircon earlier this week and it is GORGEOUS! I am the proud owner of a finewater stone :) Thank you very much again, it was a pleasure buying from you and I will certainly be coming back...even though it's really hard to beat your US clientele to the new gemstones!
Gary, I received the stone today and I'm beyond thrilled - the color in the stone is just AMAZING.
I've been over the moon with both of my purchases from you (my pad sapp gets complimented all the time!)
I finally have the amethyst in my possession. I typically ignore amethyst when looking for gems because they tend to be flat with a greyish mask and are everywhere. It is a shame the one you cut for me has to share the same name with the others because it is so alive with red and blue flashes it puts the rest to shame. The cut is unique and amazing. It brings the stone to life. I love it. Thank you.
I just received my two gems today, and I love them! excellent cut and quality Gary. I'm so impressed, Thank you so much for cutting my peridot, the color is exquisite and the cutting is spectacular! I'll be back for some more gems in a bit! Just fantastic!
GARY, I LOVE THE TOURMALINE THAT YOU CUT FOR ME...THIS IS THE MOST AMAZING GEMSTONE IN MY COLLECTION AND I CAN'T WAIT TO SHOW YOU WHAT I'M DOING WITH IT...THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!
I received the tourmalines today. They are absolutely beautiful. So well-cut. Thank you!!!
Just wanted to let you know that the topaz arrived---and it's gorgeous.
I received the aquamarine today and it is just stunning.
The garnets were waiting for me when I arrived home this evening and they are fantastic! I am totally happy with them and this deal is closed. Nice packaging, and the stones are a lot better than I thought they would be from the photo's. Thanks again for your patience on the shipping issue! I look forward to doing business with you again soon!
Can I just tell you, I was so completely impressed when I opened the package! Matching pouch was a nice touch too, but my coworker and I are fanatics when it comes to gems and jewelry and we both were AMAZED by this little guy. Color is better than it showed on my monitors, beautifully rich without being too dark, and the cut is simply delicious. I'm normally not too drawn to Amethyst (pink stones are my passion) and I bought this with the intention of making something for my sister as it's her birth stone, but it looks like I'll have to find a new one for my sister. LOL. Well I just wanted to let you know how happy I am with it, and what a great cutter you are. Both my coworker and I'll be watching out for your new stones in the future :)
I received the amethyst and it's gorgeous. Thank you so much!
Gary's attention to detail is extraordinary. By listening to my requests and interpreting my vision through his art, he cut the perfect stones for me. My matching peridot stones will make the perfect pair of earrings.
I really like this stone. It's sitting here on my desk at the moment so I can gawk at it all day...
Awesome gemstone - I love it!
The amethyst arrived this morning - it is everything I thought it would be - your cutting is stunning!
The rhodolite garnet is really, really bright! Sparkles all over the place! Lovely. Wonderful cutting. It is going to be a very pretty ring. I'm not sure what accent stones would do it any justice, though, it may have to stand on its own. (Or it may just sit on my desk for 6 months or so... so I can admire it...)
I received the gem and all I can say is WOW - it’s Gorgeous (my husband said the exact same thing when he saw it)! The color and cut are magnificent - it’s truly stunning. I appreciate it and everything you did to make sure I got a gem that made my heart sing! I’m so grateful… And so happy! Thank you again, very much!
