A wonderful invite for our business to be featured on Keaki Designs! We are so privileged to be one of the featured Artisan Members! Thank You Kri!
Kri of Keaki Designs:
Hello Fellow Artisan Member of Checked In Today,
I am Kri from Keaki Designs and I am wondering if I could feature you in
my blog for my Artist Feature Weekly post that I will be starting up on
the 16th of this month. Each artist will be posted once a week which
means each week there will be only one post about only one artist with
pictures of their art if you allow me to post them and talk about them.
Also will be linking to your shop and to the items that I will be
talking about. Also, if you allow me to please tell me about yourself,
your business and anything else you would like to share and everything
that you mentioned to me will be put into the blog post about the
featured artist.
The name of the blog is: Keaki Designs Jewelry
Link: http://keakidesigns.blogspot.com/
Once I have written a blog about you as a featured artist I will send
you a message right away tell you and giving you a link to your post
about yourself if you allow me to do a feature. :)
Many thanks,
Kri
Keaki Designs

Matt
& CJ started the CustomGemCutter in 2007. Matt had been cutting for
28 years prior by word of mouth and magazine adds. CJ helped with the
internet and bringing CustomGemCutterCreations into a combined Studio of
Matt's Faceted Gemstones & Jewelry, Rough Gemstones, Cutting
Services, Gemstone Repair & Gemstone Sourcing.
And as designers, CJ likes to create jewelry unique to each piece. Matt
likes to have the stone dictate the design and use as much of the stone
as possible, making the best design for the stone. His designs are not
published yet, but that is on the "todo" list!
With the ArtFire Studio, CustomGemCutterCreations, we also have
Gemstones & Jewelry from other Countries around the World.
GemsnJewelsofJaipur is in Jaipur, India and they handcraft Kundan Meena,
Indian Painted, Geode & Agate, Sterling Silver and Gemstone
handmade Jewelries.

CustomGemCutterCreations has Natural Gemstones from Nigeria, Africa with
Masco Gems LLC., Nigeria/USA. We deal in Rough Gemstones & Cut
Gemstones from overseas and with Matt's Professional Precision Faceting
these are sold in the USA.

We have cut gemstones & rough gemstones available Now! And more coming each month!

We have a Co-Op of cutters that have come together for their cutting
services. We have requests from customers that are posted for these
cutters to CustomGemCutter Co-Op Members to fulfill. Which brings me to a
cute story of one cutting job having 10 or more cutters that put
contacts out for the job. This customer called us saying she'd not had
so much great response and information about gemstones ever and was
happy to have found us to help in her project. And the project was a
beautiful success!

We have a kitten, SaMi, who loves gemstones. When he was just weeks old,
Matt placed SaMi behind the facting machine, on the table while he
worked cutting gemstones. As SaMi grew, he sometimes reach out with his
paw onto the spinning wet lap and then flick water at Matt. He started
sitting on the stones we were photographing, and would literally "steal"
for himself, stones left overnight on the table. SaMi also likes
Matt's loope; the little magnifying tool that is used for looking at
gemstones & diamonds. And nightly, SaMi steals the loope for
himself.
We truly enjoy the businesses we are in and Thank God for the blessings
we receive! Helping customers with their specific needs, cutting,
repairing, sourcing, rough stone projects, are what we look forward to
each day!
