While most sellers only sell as dealers. I am a silver/gold smith and jewelry gem stone cutter and manufacturer with over 45 years of professional experience.. I have been dealing and trading in silver and gemstones my entire adult life and have the knowledge gained from those years to build my jewelry with.. I build my jewelry to last including how I cut my stones..Knowledge gained from my 45 years repairing broken jewelry and broken cracked stones has taught me how to cut my stones to last and the jewelry to not break...While design is very important...Jewelry built to last is my first concern.. I am old school and even build most of my personal tools.....the stamps I use are built by me as well as my hammers and stakes I form the metal with..My studio is filled with my 45 year plus search for any old metal forming tool or metal making casting technique I can find...and lapidary tools also.My studio fills a space of over 5000 square feet currently with all these old tools and space to use them.. Lapidary takes even more space and a lot of the starting work it is done outside.. I have over 45 years collecting very unique stone rough that I build my jewelry with..It all starts with the stone..many sources of stone were only available a short time and are gone.. I use my 45 plus year stash to work from and I add to this stash when I find unique stone rough.. Getting top quality rough stone can be difficult so I bought my first turquoise mine over 25 years ago so I get first choice on quality..over the years I have added many more mines I own to source my stones from.. I am mine direct to a point of finished jewelry.. This is not a quick money making part of my life,looking for some thing to do with my time or because turquoise has become popular......This is and has been my Career for over 45 years and have been on here since the start of EBAY and will be here until I die....If you have a special request just ask.....enjoy..!!!
