A two maker studio in Tempe, Arizona

We cut the stone and handcraft the silver that holds it.

Source D'Amour is two people. Jeremy runs the saw and the wheel, turning rough into slabs and cabochons. Les facets stones, sets them, and does the metalwork. Veteran owned. Every piece is one of one.

From the ground to the finished pieceWe haul the rough, cut it, and set it ourselves.

Graveyard Point plume agate pendant, faceted Graveyard Point plume agate pendant, facetedAgate, Sourced from Oregon and Idaho borderGraveyard Point plume agate, faceted to throw light back through the plumes rather than over them.

Jeremy cut and built it.$395 / pieceOne of one View piece Sleeping Beauty turquoise ring Sleeping Beauty turquoise ringTurquoise, Sourced from Globe, ArizonaA Sleeping Beauty turquoise ring, one of one. Sleeping Beauty came out of a mine near Globe, Arizona, and it is known for even, matrix free blue.

Provenance matters

We research the history of every stone.

Much of our material comes from old collections, so we trace what we can: the mine, the era it was likely sourced, how it came to us. Ask about any piece and we will tell you what we know.

The workshop

We cut the stone ourselves.

A rock only becomes a stone when someone decides what it will be. We make that decision ourselves, at the saw, with the material in hand. Nothing here was picked from a catalogue of stones that somebody else already cut.
