Gemstones with a story,
cut by hand.
Hand-cut gemstones, artwork, and one-of-a-kind jewelry — crafted in Carson City, Nevada.
Our signature pieces begin in the field — a rough stone pulled from the earth, then patiently cut, polished, and set into something meant to last a lifetime.

A look at what comes
off the bench.
One set of hands, many kinds of beauty.
From rough rock to finished heirloom — explore the work by what it is.
What we do at the bench.
A working lapidary studio and jewelry bench — not a catalog. Everything here is found, cut, set, or repaired by hand.
Precision Gem Cutting
Faceting and polishing rough into brilliant, light-catching stones — by hand, one at a time.
Rare Stones & Lapidary Art
Naturally occurring minerals found in the field, shaped into spheres, cabochons, knives, and one-of-a-kind art.
It started with a love of rocks.
What began as weekend rock hunts across the high desert became a lifelong craft. Today, Tobin Rupert hunts, cuts, and sets the stones himself — turning desert finds into one-of-a-kind jewelry and art, one piece at a time.
What customers say.
“I brought in my wedding ring because it kept snagging… the repair was done in a reasonable amount of time, and they cleaned and smoothed it, too. I swear my ring is better than when I got it. Excellent service!”
“Super knowledgeable and friendly staff. It's a great gem shop to find the perfect gift or treat for yourself.”
“Thank you for my beautiful ring, it's more than I could have imagined.”
“After my mother passed, I inherited her vintage engagement ring, but the band that went with it went to another family member. I found almost an identical match for her original band on eBay and I brought them to Rupert's and they did an amazing job sizing, reshaping, attaching together and cleaning my new set. Every time I wear it I'm so happy and I thank Rupert's!”
Photos only go so far. The light off a hand-cut stone is something else.
