My wife and I have a small gemstone faceting business that we work at part-time, which is L&M Gems. We have been in business, and I have been cutting gemstones since 1994. I am a member of the United States Faceter's Guild and the International Gem Society. We are located in Colorado Springs where I have lived for the last 21 years. Many of my gemstones are sold to local jewelers or retail customers who learn of my business. Additionally, they are offered through my website to anyone on the internet. Usually, any new gemstones I cut will be listed here first, well before I offer them to anyone locally. I also maintain a cooperative website for myself and fellow faceters.

I will do custom work, and if you have something particular in mind, please contact me to discuss it.

All of my faceting is done in my home and the faceting machine I use is an Ultra Tec. The photo above is me working at my Ultra Tec while one of our cats, Molly (AKA "The Spoiled Princess"), helps.
