Our founder, Ted Benfield, began rockhounding in the Blue Ridge Mountains during the late 70's. After years of collecting numerous rough gemstones he found it was time to learn the details of bringing out the natural beauty of each stone by learning to facet, or cut them. For most of the early 80's Ted cut these colored gemstones and sold them to friends and acquaintances.
In 1982 Ted caught a strange disease that caused him to have a constant fever. This illness was diagnosed as "gold fever". This "gold fever" causes it's victims to constantly search for the precious yellow metal. Ted had completely succumbed to this fever traveling near and far hoping to find that illusive vein or giant nugget that Mother Earth may hold.

From inception to design to manufacturing we can take your idea and turn it into a finished piece of jewelry. Bring your sketch or image and we will use our CAD equipment to first create a rendering of what your piece will look like. After your approval we will create a wax model and cast the piece.
The possibilities are endless with personalized engraving. Glass, metal, even wood can be engraved with our machine. We have a wide variety of items to choose from in store or you may bring in your own items to be engraved.
