What will you find here?

We don't sell on the Internet. Jewellery is special, every gemstone is unique. Customers want to see and try on jewellery before buying. That's why our shop is thriving, and we don't have time to sell online.
But we all love jewellery, and want you to know more, so you'll appreciate its beauty. We share our knowledge here.
We love looking at gemstones through a microscope, they're fantastic. And we've taken pictures. OK perhaps there are better photographs around, but these are ours, and you won't find them elsewhere. So enjoy

Uncut diamond
An uncut diamond - just as it came out of the ground. You can see the light reflecting from the crystal facets, look closely and see the triangular shape of the facets.
Just a sample of what you'll find on this site.
