Australian Smoky Quartz - Snail Carving - 131.15ct
I am a gem artist specializing in precision faceting and carving of gemstones. My work encompasses a range of styles, from traditional and modern designs to unique, one-of-a-kind creations.
I find joy and satisfaction in the journey of transforming a rough stone into a polished masterpiece. This creative process involves exploring ideas, refining techniques, and continuously developing my skills. Each piece I finish has been carefully considered and given due attention and respect.
I invite you to browse my collection and discover a fresh perspective on these captivating wonders of the natural world. If you have any questions or would like to schedule an appointment to view my gems and carvings, please feel free to contact me. I do take commissions and custom orders.
For information about repairing and repolishing damaged or worn gems have a look at my lapidary services.

Presentation and Storage Boxes
My little gem carvings come with an individually fitted presentation/storage box in the style used for traditional Japanese netsuke carvings. This seems to be how many netsuke artisans store their carvings. The wooden boxes are Japanese paulownia and are used for storing all kinds of delicate items like ceramic cups and bowls, carvings, clothes.
