Precision Lapidary Services for Jewelers, Designers & Private Clients
Reliable Lapidary Services for Cutting, Repair, Polishing & Custom Stone Work
Lapidary Services provides professional stone cutting, polishing, repair, and custom inlay work for jewelry professionals and collectors who need reliable craftsmanship they can trust. With over 40 years of hands-on experience in casting preparation, faceting, stone restoration, and RTV mold creation, every piece is handled with technical accuracy and attention to detail.
Whether a stone needs to be restored after damage, refined for setting, or custom cut for a new design, we help bring materials back to usable — and valuable — condition. My work supports jewelers, goldsmiths, manufacturers, and individuals who require dependable turnaround and consistent quality.
From rough material to finished surface, the goal is simple: clean work, proper fit, and a professional finish that lasts.
Experienced Craftsmanship You Can Depend On
Lapidary Services is operated by a dedicated lapidary specialist focused on precision stone work and jewelry preparation. Years spent working directly with jewelers and manufacturers has built a practical understanding of how stones must perform inside real settings, not just how they look on the bench.
Every service is approached with durability and function in mind. Stones must seat correctly, polish evenly, and hold integrity over time. This practical experience allows problems to be identified quickly and corrected properly the first time.
Clients come back because the work is consistent, communication is clear, and deadlines are respected.

My Services
Stone Polishing & Refinishing
Professional gemstone polishing restores clarity, luster, and surface integrity to worn or scratched stones. Using proper lap techniques and material-specific abrasives, surfaces are leveled and finished without removing unnecessary weight or altering the stone’s structure.
Ideal for heirloom jewelry, estate pieces, and stones dulled by daily wear.
Stone Repair & Restoration
Chipped, cracked, or damaged stones can often be saved instead of replaced. I carefully reshape and refinish stones to remove visible damage while maintaining proper proportions and durability for resetting.
This service is especially valuable for sentimental or discontinued stones where replacement isn’t possible.
Custom Lapidary & Inlay Work
Custom cutting and inlay services for jewelers, makers, and designers who require precision-fit material. Stones are shaped to exact measurements for settings, channels, and specialty designs.
I also assist with design problem-solving when standard cuts won’t work.
Other Custom Services
Faceting & Shaping
Rough material is cut and faceted to maximize appearance and performance in finished jewelry. Angles, symmetry, and polish are controlled for balance between brilliance and durability.
Suitable for both new designs and replacement stones.
RTV Molds & Wax Preparation
Accurate RTV mold creation and wax preparation for casting workflows. Designed to support jewelers and manufacturers needing repeatable production and consistent results.
This service is perfect for production runs and small batch manufacturing.
Reliable Work. Clear Communication. Quality Results.
If you need stone work completed correctly the first time — whether for repair, production, or custom design — Lapidary Services provides straightforward service with professional results.
