In most ways, the ancient art of fashioning or "cutting" gems for use in jewelry has changed little over centuries. Chinese Turquoise, Lapis Lazuli, Amethyst, Garnet, Tourmaline, Opal and Agate are just some of the beautiful stones used at Borter's Jewelry Studio.

From all corners of the world, these stones and many more in their rough, natural and untreated form arrive at Borter's Jewelry Studio. Step by step, with a thorough understanding of materials and processes, the stones are worked until their new form reveals their formerly hidden natural beauty.
