About Me and my Creativity.

Hi, my name is Eric and my passion is faceting natural rough gemstones into a beautiful gemstone someone can enjoy. I sell my faceted gemstones to the Jewelry designers in my City area but I also sell finished pieces on the internet. I think it would be fair to say that 99% of the gemstones sold are what is called belly cut. Asian cutting houses try and retain all the weight they can. Carat weight is what sells their stones. I cut gemstones to the correct angles to bring out all the beauty I can out of the rough I am working on. I let the shape of the rough guide me on what design to use. When a stone is cut to the correct angles the pavillon acts as a mirror and reflects the light back at the viewer. This makes the stone more brilliant and alive. I also cut unique designs that stand out from the gemstones you see in the chain Jewelry stores. My gemstones are also polished to a different standard than commercial gems. Most stones I cut are sold to the higher end Jewelry stores and designers of fine Jewelry. If you see a ring you like and it is not your size let me know. Sizing is available on most rings now. I thank you for visiting my Shop and hope you come back soon.

Welcome to Creative Cafe. I have just had a look in your Etsy shop and your gems look brilliant. Very very colourful and shiny in the pictures. I am glad to see you have already found our new Salesrooms group as well.

Anyway you can also change your page theme and add photos, videos, music, write blogs on this site. The latest 10 members blogs are featured on the Main page and so are some of the photos. You can also start and join in other groups and discussions and make new friends.

So I hope that is enough information for you for the moment. If you want any help with anything just ask and I will hope to catch up and get to know you better soon.

Bye for Now
Jill
