Extremely knowledgeable, fascinating business. She also offers classes. What i found the most refreshing, was how down to earth, real and engaging she was. I instantly felt comfortable speaking with her about my jewelry. She gained my utmost respect and confidence in her abilities. I just found something I will be taking to her soon to get her help in identification.

Outstanding service and fascinating place. Sindi, the Graduate Gemologist and I believe is also the owner, is like a walking encyclopedia of gems, their history, styles and value. She is a gem. No pun intended :)
