Tri Gem Designs

After the rough gems are mined and carefully sorted into quality categories at Columbia Gem House, Inc. head office in Vancouver, Washington, the best qualities are sent for cutting to the company's cutting factory in China.

This factory is a model workplace, with wages that are three times the minimum wage. Benefits for workers include: room and board, paid vacation, overtime pay, medical, disability and unemployment insurance, and an annual bonus.

All gemstones are cut with precision and polished with diamond powder for crisp, clean facets that reflect maximum brilliance.
