Our Products and Services
Gary's Gems is a custom jewelry manufacturer specializing
in faceted stones, especially blue topaz, the State Gemstone of Texas, expertly
faceted in the LONE STAR CUT. All stones are cut by our master faceter, Gary Worden, who has been cutting stones for 36
years.
Brazilian topaz is almost always available, in
shades from colorless to medium to "London" blue. The Lone Star Cut
shows best in the light to medium colors; very dark material obscures the
star. Sizes are available from 7mm (about 2ct) to 30mm (50+ct) in
topaz, with the most popular sizes for rings and pendants being 8mm to 12 mm (3 to 10ct) (See photographs on gemstones page). Special
faceting by request. Native Texas
topaz from Mason County, Texas is rarely available in VERY limited
quantities--to cut from 7 up to 12mm stones, at $100/ct finished weight.
Email for current availability. NOTE: In a flawless stone there is
NO current test that can differentiate between Texas topaz and topaz from other
countries . The
Mason topaz I have is received directly from people who have actually
dug it up at various ranches in Mason County, Texas.
