Please enter your e-mail address: First Name (Optional): Last Name (Optional):   Vermont's First & Foremost Wedding Magazine www.vermontbridemagazine.com   Diamonds, Gemstones, and Jewelry People have worn and loved Jewelry, Gemstones and Diamonds for thousands of years.  Some of the oldest human remains ever found, dating back over thirty thousand years were wearing simple Jewelry adornment, necklaces, bracelets, earrings and rings, some bearing Gemstones and even Diamonds.  Our Gemstone and Diamond Jewelry is the best we can make.  We cut our own Gemstones and Manufacture the finest quality Gemstone and Diamond Jewelry in Vermont.  Our Jewelry starts with original design and timeless style. From there we select the appropriate Gemstone from our vast selection of natural Gemstones from around the world.   In some cases only a custom cut Gemstone from our lapidaries will do.         Gemstones are our first love; to us nothing is as beautiful as a Perfectly Cut Gemstone mounted in a expertly made example of Fine Jewelry accented with natures own crisp White Diamond.  The word Gem is derived from the Greek word GEMMA meaning Flower or Flower Bud, reflecting the ancients appreciation of natures Gemstone perfection.  Not all Gemstones are perfect as-is when they come from the ground for jewelry making.  The art of fashioning gemstones for jewelry has been perfected over thousands of years.  Originally people were trying to improve the level of perfection found in natures Gemstones and to make them more sparkly and attractive.  The art of Cutting Gemstones and Making Jewelry is alive and well at Stowe Gems!         Diamonds, for instance, when found are not always perfect or even sparkly, it is the gem cutters skill that brings out the full beauty of the rough gemstone and allows the jewelry to take full advantage of natures inner gemstone beauty.  Jewelry Quality Diamonds are very difficult to cut, and that, combined with the intrinsic rarity of Diamond, has made Diamond perhaps the most treasured of Gemstones.  Diamond is legendary for its hardness, Ten on the Mohs Scales, a Diamond is actually much harder than any known natural substance.    Diamond is also potentially the most transparent substance known, there factors and Diamonds ability to take a uniquely high polish, make Diamond the most south after Gemstone for Jewelry.  The Diamonds we use in jewelry are produced in a manner sensitive to social and political conflict based on personal knowledge and/or relying on information provided by the seller.  Our Diamonds have been produced by legitimate sources of Diamonds not involved in funding conflict and in compliance with United Nations Diamond resolutions, to the best of our knowledge.         Our Canadian Diamonds are a perfect example of non - conflict Diamonds they are from Canada’s North West Territory Diamond Mines.  These Diamonds have, as a rule, Beautiful White Color and Great Clarity.  These Diamonds are graded the same way as other Diamonds from any other Diamond Producing Region in the World.  Mounted in our Jewelry these Diamonds are Spectacular!         We import these great Diamonds directly from the Diamond Miners and Diamond Cutters, there are no middlemen as in the traditional Diamond distribution system.  We are very excited about this new source of Diamond, as these Diamonds are supplies out side of any controlling Carte.  This means that Stowe Gems will be able to provide a steady supply of Diamond, as supplies are controlled and restricted even more in the future.   Diamonds, Gemstones and Jewelry, its what Stowe Gems is all about! We have customers in the following Cities: Albuquerque, NM • Atlanta, GA • Austin, TX • Baltimore, MD • Boston, Mass • Charlotte, NC • Chicago, IL• Cleveland, OH • Colorado Springs, CO • Columbus, OH • Dallas, TX • Denver, CO • Detroit, MI • El Paso, TX • Fort Worth, TX • Fresno, CA • Honolulu, HI • Houston, TX • Indianapolis, IN • Jacksonville, FL • Kansas City, MO • Las Vegas, NV • Long Beach, CA • Los Angeles, CA • Memphis, TN • Mesa, AZ • Miami, FL • Milwaukee, WI • Minneapolis, MN • Nashville, TN • New Orleans, LA • New York, NY • Oakland, CA • Oklahoma City, OK • Omaha, NE • Philadelphia, PA • Phoenix, AZ • Portland, OR • Sacramento, CA • St. Louis, MO • San Antonio, TX • San Diego, CA • San Francisco, CA • San Jose, CA • Seattle, WA • Tucson, AZ • Tulsa, OK • Virginia Beach, VA • Washington, DC • Wichita, KS
