About
Ruby Layne

I love to restore vintage jewelry and create unusual designs by blending old and new together.


I have been making beautiful jewelry for over 25 years. I started by cutting gems on an Ultratech faceting machine, and that grew into a love for rare and high quality gems that lead me first to Sri Lanka and then to India and other places around the globe including many gem sites in the USA.


I have a team composed of the greatest people on the planet.


My gemologist is a Gemological Institute of America graduate who has an uncanny ability to find rare and beautiful gems. In each country we buy from, he has given back. In Brazil he took school kits to an orphanage, in Thailand it was rice and blankets. A week after the tsunami, he was in Sri Lanka for four months helping rebuild lives torn apart by the disaster.


My master engraver is backed up 2 years with custom engraving work but always allows me to slip in a piece or two into his busy schedule. His engraving work is absolute art. Check out some of the engraved pieces we have listed and you will agree.


I have two master bench jewelers that are skilled in restoring the impossible. They have almost 75 years of combined experience. They have taught jewelry making courses in prestigious schools and now provide their expertise and attention to detail on each piece of jewelry we restore or create.


I want to make your jewelry buying experience the best ever. My team puts their heart into every individual piece of jewelry before it is ever listed. I truly want you to appreciate our store and become a lifelong friend, whether you purchase or not.
