We are Storied Gemstones
Storied Gemstones strives to be a center of commerce and community for faceters. Following in the footsteps of Hashnu Stones & Gems, we are creating a welcoming space for new enthusiasts, as well as experienced ones, to find rough (we specialize in custom parcels) and other design resources, tutorials, lessons, and links to other online communities.
We also are a marketplace for cut gems. We see each gem as a precious treasury, not just treasure. Every stone carries its own stories, and our passion is finding the right gem to hold yours. We can connect your story to how a gem is formed, mined, sourced, designed, cut, and even set. Our goal is to create meaningful beauty that becomes part of your life story.
How It All Started
Storied Gemstones was created as a result of the COVID pandemic. During lockdown, Kris decided to learn the art of faceting and she spent many hours studying and learning to cut stones with Mark Oros. Brett was intrigued by the different kinds of stones and their intimate connection to specific places and peoples all over the globe. When Hashnu Stones & Gems decided to get out of the rough business, it seemed like fate was playing its hand. The pandemic required us to recreate ourselves and Storied Gemstones is part of that recreation.
