This establishment is family owned, into its third generation, I believe. They have love for their art and their customers, and have only the best quality in the store. They took the time to explain so much to me about the different stones and my options. Some very rare gemstones in here. All pieces were unique and high quality works of art. They offer nothing simulated or man-made. Only the best in this store. It was a wonderful, very personal experience I will never forget.
