Overview of some Unique and Beautiful Things you will see on any of our pages:

Cultured pearls possess mystery, luster, and beauty, and attraction no matter the shape or color. We are proud of our rare BIWA pearl selections. We offer pearls in traditional white and pastel tones as well as trend-setting copper, lavender, peach, champagne, silver, gold, green-gold.

Turquoise and Coral are beautiful and desired for their rich pure colors. We feature pure natural Mediterranean red coral, rare and exquisite. We buy turquoise from both Chinese and US mines. GASPEITE in intense apple-green is getting more rare and the mines will soon be played out. We have some beauties on this page.

The Orient produces exquisite stone carvings in the form of plaques, pendants, and beads with plant and animal motifs. Many of the motifs define good luck and good health--carved into carnelian, jade, lapis, amethyst, bone, or coral.

The faceted beads sparkle and shine. Here you'll find tourmaline, citrine, iolite, amazonite, aquamarine, labradorite and more depending on our current stock. Top drilled or side drilled tapered shapes are called briolettes. Pair these with cultured pearls. You see these in the high priced jewelry designs.
