Gems by Gregory LLC has been in existence since 1990. \u00a0 Since 2016, it was decided to have all of our gems cut here in America’s Historic Triangle in Virginia.\u00a0 Of note we have recently revisited and updated our business model.\u00a0 Our intent is to always cut gems to precise angles using the best color and clarity available at any given time.\u00a0 What may not be readily apparent is that we are not a volume producer but rather take extra time to insure that you will always receive from Gems by Gregory a lovely gem cut not with haste in mind but with care to insure that your gem is cut correctly.<\/p>\n

All rough is personally inspected by me to insure the customer receives the best value in fine cut gems. If the clarity or color is not up to our strict requirements, it is returned. Only then is the rough cut into finished gems.\u00a0 All of our beautifully cut gems, with\u00a0 the exception of diamonds, are cut here in America’s Historic Triangle in Virginia only by Gems by Gregory.\u00a0 We never sub-contract the cutting of our gems to another country or company!<\/p>\n

Our decision to cut all gems in Virginia has resulted in our controlling all aspects of the cutting process and accordingly you are offered beautiful finished gems cut to exact angles and proportions. This allows us to offer finished faceted (also cabochons for opals, etc.) gems that we cut either for\u00a0 inventory or custom cut for your needs at no extra cost. \u00a0 However, as we control all aspects of cutting your gem, the price per gem remains very affordable.<\/p>\n

<\/b>We also offer a large selection of GIA certified diamonds in all shapes & sizes.\u00a0 They are purchased already cut by highly trained craftsmen.<\/p>\n

Thank you and Happy Holidays to one and all.\u00a0 December 2023.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Hello, I\u2019m Greg Russell. I\u2019ve been cutting and inspecting gems for more than thirty five years.<\/p>\n

My\u00a0training for this field was the completion\u00a0of courses offered by Gemological Institute of America (GIA) and\u00a0I am a GIA alumni. I also\u00a0have a certificate for Advanced Stone Setting by The New Approach School for Jewelers.<\/p>\n

I maintain a contemporary knowledge of the industry by routinely attending seminars, conferences, and gem fairs worldwide.\u00a0 I’m also\u00a0constantly interfacing with my peers, suppliers, and experts in various fields within gemology<\/span>. \u00a0 One of the fascinating aspects of the wonderful field of gemology is that there is always something new to learn.<\/p>\n<\/div>
