My name is Tony and I would like to welcome you to my Lapidary studio, in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
My commercial cutting venture started in March 1974 when I first offered my services to the Vancouver Jewellery Trade.
I specialise in the restoration and repair of damaged or worn coloured gemstones.
My services include various faceting and other lapidary procedures such as inlay of gem material, cabochon cutting, hole drilling and custom faceting.
I do not supply rough or finished gem material. I do have an extensive network of suppliers that are usually able to furnish most desired gems and invite your inquiries.
I do not sell equipment or lapidary supplies. However I do use and willingly recommend various products that I have found to be both efficient and reliable in my workshop.
