The Craft
Colour, Clarity, Cut
Colour
Orientation and angle are chosen to draw out a stone’s truest, most saturated hue.
Clarity
Each rough is studied so the finished gem reads clean and bright to the eye.
Cut
Precise, hand-faceted geometry returns the maximum light through every facet.
The Maker
A lifetime at the bench
Bruce Furst has spent decades learning how light moves through a stone. Working by hand from his studio in Corrales, New Mexico, he facets each gem one at a time, guided by the rough itself.
The result is a small, considered body of work — stones cut not to a formula, but to their own nature.

Every gemstone is one of a kind. If a piece speaks to you, I’d be glad to tell you more about it.
