Wow, those are some amazing photos! I love your avatar by the way! How often do you go fishing? My FIL is going on an Alaskan trip for 3 weeks (not a cruise). He is very excited!!! Wow, I can''t imagine all the wildlife you get to see, looks gorgeous out there!

Profile Updated

I wanted to do this sooner, but have had contraints on my time lately.

Now that my fishing season is over and I have time I wanted to let everyone know on the forum that I am the Business Manager & involved in Consumer relations for Phenomenal Facets. A collaboration between AGTA award winning cutter Stephen Kotlowski and myself.

I am involved in the direct marketing of services and managing our product development.

Phenomenal Facets offers AGTA award winning cutting to collectors, hobbyists, enthusiasts, and individual clients.Specializing in collector and rare colored gemstone custom faceting and repairs, we make it our mission to provide the best service and highest quality in serving our customers needs. Through 40 years of experience & skillful execution, multi AGTA cutting award winning artisan Stephen Kotlowski was the 1st to earn the designation of “Supreme Master Faceter” in 1988 from the American Society of Gem Cutters in Washington DC.

Every Gem created by Phenomenal Facets is an original design. Each uniquely faceted gem is created individually on the machine, "on the fly" in crafting the finest gemstone possible by unlocking the inherent beauty hidden within every piece of gem rough.

I am excited about this new venture and hope I can help consumers and professionals alike in the same manner I have in the past by sharing experiences and industry knowledge regarding gemstone cutting, colored gemstones, and diamonds. My first love will always be colored gemstones, but diamonds take a second seat next to them.

In the 8 years I've been on Pricescope I have thouroughly enjoyed many of the people I have met who have broadened my horizons and shared much of their knowledge with me in my own pursuit to educate myself from the beginning. I have had the pleasure to meet a multitude of dynamic people in the trade that span many different countries and cultures. I give thanks to all the people who have made it possible to be where I am today and give credit to the many friends and trade professionals I have met along the way. In sharing experiences with trade professionals and consumers alike.

Special Thanks to
Karl, Mara, LawMax, John Pollard, Wink Jones, Richard Sherwood, AGBF, Allison Dewey (The Chainsaw..lol), Todd Gray (NiceIce), Jonathan Weingarten, Garry Holloway, Leonid & Irina, and the original "Old Skool" crew who was here when it all began...THANK YOU!
