About Our Team

We're cutters who LOVE to work with great rough.

Your masterpiece starts here. We believe every exceptional gemstone starts long before it hits the lap. Our passion is in sourcing facet-grade rough that holds true beauty waiting to be revealed.

We source directly from trusted miners, small-scale traders, and regional partners who share our respect for the earth and for craftsmanship. Every piece we offer has an origin, a story, and the possibility to become something extraordinary.

Sourcing with Intention

We take pride in knowing where our stones come from — and who handles them along the way. Our network includes family-run mines, independent dealers, and ethical suppliers across the world.

We prioritize transparency and sustainability, not volume. Each stone is reviewed and selected for its color, clarity, and cutting potential before it ever reaches your shop.

Quality Comes First

We’re cutters ourselves. We understand the patience, excitement, and challenge that comes with working rough, so every stone we list is chosen by hand and evaluated by our in-house lapidary. We evaluate the same details professional cutters look for — color zoning, yield, clarity, and integrity. We do our best to source large, clean rough whenever possible.

We specialize in fine facet-grade rough that delivers consistency on the wheel and brilliance in the finished gem. Whether you’re a precision cutter or a passionate hobbyist, our goal is to help you work with the good stuff.

The Rough Life Promise

We aim to meet and exceed your expectations by providing honest, premium rough gemstones — photographed, described, and represented as accurately as possible.

If a stone ever arrives and it doesn't meet your expectations, we will take it back in it's original condition and refund your payment. Thank you so much for cutting with us!
