On The Dop
This week Hawk is working on a commission Verneuil #6 Ruby project. It will be a 7 X 5mm brilliant oval at about 1ct. This is going into a solitaire engagement ring.
We purchase quality natural and lab grown gem rough from reputable dealers and create precision cut gemstones using CAD design. Hawk precision facets them in our studio in southern Colorado.
Have damaged, abraded, or poorly cut gems? If the damage is not too extensive, many gems can be repaired, repolished, or recut, to restore and even improve their appearance. We can help whether you are a jewelry owner, or a professional jeweler.
Phoenix Rising Gems is now in a partnership with a major US jewelry manufacturer. You can browse and get quotes for gold and silver jewelry with, or without gemstones and have Hawk custom cut gems to fit a setting that you choose. We can also set and finish jewelry in our shop.
Do you have a setting that has a missing, or damaged gem? Have you been on Etsy and found the perfect ring but it needs a better stone? Consider having Hawk cut a gemstone of your choosing to fit that setting and get that jewelry you always wanted but can't find in the store. You will be amazed!

This week Hawk completed a commission for a Dichroic Lab Moissanite with material supplied by the client. The finished gem measured 14.2 mm wide X 11mm long and 8.8mm deep at 6.8cts. This is stunning material in person… with prismatic color flashes, a truly beautiful stone. The cut is called Zankoku and was designed by Arya Akhavan.

New Material 10/24/2024
Our latest materials to arrive are #6 Dark Red Verneuil Ruby. We also received some lab grown Chrysoberyl Alexandrite rough that Hawk is looking forward to cutting.
Next to that is a Verneuil Paraiba colored sapphire rough boule. Hawk can’t wait to cut a sample stone out of it! And finally the photo on the right is a laser rod Alexandrite. Nice color! It goes from a nice orangy red to a cool blue in artificial light. In the sunlight it goes from an orangy red to a straw yellow. Check back in a couple of weeks for a cut gem out of this material!
