We are a very different kind of Jeweler

Unlike many jewelry retailers, we understand quality and never compromise by cutting corners for short term profits. 

We believe in the old fashion concept of reputation. We do not sell illusion, we believe and stand behind the true value of what we sell. 

We carry classic, timeless, heirloom quality jewelry that will stand the test of time and be in vogue for generation after generation.

We know what we are doing

 Jeremy Thayer got his start in the trade in 1980 as a direct importer of important gems from Sri Lanka, Burma and Thailand. In 1982 he co-developed and co-owned the largest semi-automatic cutting factory in Asia and  traveled  to mining centers throughout the world acquiring rough gems for many years. The combination of the skills developed from learning how to grade and value rough gemstones coupled with early years of study at the prestigious Asian Institute of Gemological Science laid the foundation for a unique expertise that very few in the industry share. He later applied this expertise in sourcing and buying.  Many jewelers and even gemological laboratories have called on him to assist in identifying  and evaluating rare and  important diamonds and gemstones.

Not a full service jeweler

We do not stock everything  you might be looking for, however the inventory we do carry is the  very best and priced far below most retail jewelers. 

We source our inventory differently then most jewelers. Many retailers fill their stores by going to jewelry trade shows twice a year and ordering lines 

from venders the same way shoe or electronics stores acquire inventory. We buy from direct sources and acquire fine estate jewelry from banks and estate 

attorneys. We hand fabricate fine platinum and 18k gold jewelry.  And finally, we are aligned with several other groups who share a similar way of doing 

business as we do, buying at least one or two layers below normal channels.
