Late 2025, I was commissioned to provide cut red garnets, but had a hard time finding stones in light enough colours than ensured their fiery red colours were noticeable after cutting.

Fast forward to last weekend when a miner clearing out his old parcels called to ask if I wanted some 🙄.... I took 'em all 🤑🤑🤑

Kaduna's Natural Zircons are a hidden gem. Many jewelry enthusiasts are familiar with synthetic cubic zirconia, but few know about natural honey and brown zircons.

breathed a new soul into these stones, marrying the deep, restless fire of the Nigerian garnet with the soft, iridescent moonlight of the pearl.

A perfect harmony of brilliant craftsmanship and timeless beauty.

Perhaps I should have been a poet 👨‍🎨.
