We are a member of the American Gem Trade Association (AGTA)

With regard to the quality of the gemstones we work with, all our gemstones are carefully sourced, conflict free and meet the standards of the American Gem Trade Association (AGTA), which we are a member of. The AGTA was established over 25 years ago to educate both the public and jewelry producers regarding gemstones. The AGTA has advised various offices of the US Government regarding gemstone issues. All our gemstones meet AGTA standards for genuine, high quality gemstones. We suggest you visit the AGTA website at: http://www.agta.org/gemstones/index.html for in-depth information about the many different gemstones we use. We never use CZ's or man made stones. In our Fashion Jewelry area we do offer some pieces that incorporate unique handmade Murano glass beads, which we take care to source from Murano, Italy. Every piece shown on our site has a complete description of the gemstones used.
