Hey, I’m Nick.
Exploring gems, one stone at a time.
My Approach
Testing
It begins with a few tests I perform on every gemstone to gather measurable data and facts.
These tests determine the refractive index, birefringence, specific gravity, optic character, and any optical phenomena.
The results provide scientific clues that help identify the gemstone accurately.
Exploring
Under the microscope, I lose track of time.
Every gem tells a story—through its inclusions, imperfections, and unique characteristics formed over millions of years.
Each stone has something to teach—revealing its secrets one detail at a time.
“Flawless gems are impressive—but it's the imperfect ones that feel most relatable.”
“Gemstones are like people—unique, imperfect, and beautiful in their own way.”
