Faceting my dream sapphire

After almost a full year of faceting sapphires…

I finally cut a piece for myself.

Come hang out and watch me polish up one of the most incredible North Carolina gems I’ve ever laid my eyes on.

If you want to see my future plans for this gem — stick around to the end of the video! I show off all the drawings & CAD designs for the jewelry piece I’m planning with it 😊

This gem was found at Propst Farm, North Carolina, and given to me by Kai, a wonderful rockhounding friend. Ron, the owner of Propst, and all the people I have met there are genuinely some of the kindest and most generous in the world, and I’m honored to be able to wear a stone that represents all of that.

Thank you all for letting me be a part of the Propst family 🩷

I’ll be back in about a month to update you on what the final piece looks like. I’ll post it here and on any of my socials below if you’d like to keep up with the progress!

Between now and then, I have so many more fun things planned. I’ve been faceting Montana sapphires, mastering digital drawing, designing my very own jewelry collection, and SO MUCH MORE.

If you like what I do, you’ll love the next phase of Tay Rae Gems. I can’t wait to show you all the things I’ve been working on.
