GEMSTONE ROUNDTABLES
Gemstone Roundtable events are exclusive evenings where guests have the chance to view and purchase gemstones directly from a gem expert. Over food and wine, guests have the chance to “flirt” with a wide array of gemstones from around the world. Each expert brings their own unique style to each event, giving guests the chance to explore new styles and learn more about precious stones.
Events are exclusive and seats are given based on sign-up date. Click the links below to learn more about our gemstone hosts this year. For more information on how you can join us for a Roundtable event, visit our Facebook page or stop by the shop!

Our planet Earth is composed of rocks and minerals, and gemstones encompass a minute fraction of the mineral kingdom. Extremely rare, crystalline wonders, gemstones are generally formed deep within the Earth beyond our reach. The effects of mountain building, the geologic passing of time and erosion make these natural wonders available to us – and only at great expense and effort are such wonders put into our hands.
August 6 & 7
