Gemstones

Gemstones?! Isn’t this site about woodworking? Why are there gemstones? That’s a great question! The short answer is: both my Father and Grandfather are/were jewelers, and have amassed a number of unique, beautiful stones over the years. My Grandfather has since passed away, and left a bunch of stones to my Dad. Now my Dad is trying to retire (yeah right… he’ll never give it up!). So we’re trying to lighten some of his inventory load by selling some nice gems at great prices. These are loose gems only! No mountings – that’s up to you.

Why not Etsy? Because I get dinged for listing each piece, I get dinged by Etsy when I sell a piece, AND I get dinged by PayPal when I sell a piece. So…. here we are. If you see something below you like – I accept Zelle, Venmo, or PayPal (+2%), + Shipping ($9 for Priority with tracking).
