Welcome to DTFaceting!
I have been an avid faceter of gemstones since 1994. Garnets and tourmalines are my favorite materials to cut because of their range of colors, availability, and suitability for use in jewelry. I also like to cut more unusual minerals when I can find them, like the andalusite in the photo above that has a particularly strong red/green pleochroism. All of the stones on these pages were cut by me, following designs by myself or other faceters. I do sell stones on occasion, so please contact me if you are interested.
