Natural gemstones exhibit their maximum beauty when combined with a fine cut.
Each one is given careful consideration to bring out the best color, brilliance, design, and overall appeal. It is rare to find gems that
have been well cut at prices that are still accessible, but we at John Dyer & Co. strive to bring you the finest gems possible at reasonable prices. We carry a wide range of gemstones including amethyst, ametrine, aquamarine, citrine, garnet, golden
beryl, morganite, tourmaline, topaz, Oregon sunstone, tanzanite, sapphire, and many more.

John travels widely to procure the finest gem rough. He then crafts it into unique gem creations. His work graces the wardrobes of the most discerning jewelry buyers and rare gemstone collectors. Our goal is to bring out the maximum potential from every loose, natural gemstone.
