Staff
| Our staff are highly trained, skilled and knowledgeable. Some of them have been with us from our inception and their expertise is invaluable in making studied decisions on all areas connected to lapidary work. We train our own staff in-house in all aspects of gem processing and therefore their skill levels are higher than in any other lapidary where often they are taught and trained only in certain aspects of the lapidary work. |
