Above and Beyond Quality
Beauty may be in the eye of the beholder, but quality should never be compromised. See the difference well-cut gemstones can make. Most of our larger and higher grade gemstones are American custom cut by me. Even most of the smaller or less-valuable stones are cut by the highest skilled overseas american trained cutters using modern equipment because we care so much about quality. No matter what type of gemstone, jewelry, or mineral you're looking for, BVGW guarantees it with a money back or exchange guarantee. See our Terms and Conditions page for more details.
