Pacific NorthWest Gems represents an accumulation of beautiful gemstones and jewelry; gifts from our beautiful world.

I have always loved sparkle. Stars in the sky, droplets in a waterfall, the glimmer of crystals within a simple rock. I developed an interest in jewelry after a chance inheiritance of many costume pieces, which still enchant me to this day.

My husband became facinated with the lapidary arts as a young boy. He faceted his first stone at age 10. Although his "real" life has taken him down many roads, he always found himself returning to the gemstones of his youth.

In 1984 we combined our passions into a jewelry design business. For six years we designed jewelry and frequented West Coast trade shows for new stock. In 1990 health issues forced us to cut back the business.

Now that we have retired, it is time to bring out the left-overs and share them with the world.
