About Us

          We specialize in stunning new and unique estate jewelry, and offer beautifull rare and exotic gemstones. Of the "JEWEL" catagory we present Diamonds, Ruby, Emerald, Sapphire, and now also Tanzanite. Among the colored gemstones we bring to you: Paraiba Tourmaline, Alexandrite, Spinel, Tsavorite, Quartz of varying kinds, Spessartite (Spessartine), and much more.

          Because all our Jewels and Gemstones are priced below or near the margins of what is the industry standard, our offer is to wholesalers and the general public alike. All gemstones will be indicated either: Natural, Lab-created, Heated, or whatever color enhancement or otherwise has been used to prepare the Jewel or gemstone. In addition, we offer Domestic and Foreign Currency, Coins, and Vintage Collectibles & Memorabilia.

          Orders via our globally-Integrated Shopping Cart system, can be paid for by major credit cards through PayPal; cashier's checks, international wire transfers, and money orders. Within the Continental United States, all orders will be shipped USPS, and only fully insured - in 7 business days.

NOTE: Personal checks are also welcomed, but it will take up to 6 weeks to clear our payment agency.

We do NOT accept CASH payment at any time for any reason.
