American Cutters
We love supporting our community, and being based in Austin, Texas gives us the privilege to work with some of the finest cutters and carvers the United States has to offer.
Shawn
Shawn helps us with fine gems and generally better stones. His technique of "nip and peck" allows him to work through the stones to give them optimum weight and polish without sacrificing the yield.
Shawn can either do precision cut or adaptive cutting (best for fine stones i.e Burmese ruby etc)
An application with the details of the rough will need to be submitted alongside with a short brief outlining exactly what you would like to do.
Upon deposit the first consultation can be arranged via zoom or phone call. Turnaround time is approximately 3 weeks.
