About Me

Are you tired of the same old choices in jewelry materials?

If so, you've come to the right place! Welcome to Earth and Hammer Lapidary Designs. My name is Adam, and I am the proud owner and artisan behind this venture. With a deep-rooted passion for science and a knack for craftsmanship, my journey into lapidary work began when I returned to school to pursue my degrees—an M.S. and B.S. in Geology.

Are you captivated by unique natural treasures?

I share your fascination for natural marvels. Every piece I create starts with a gem or rock that has sparked my own sense of wonder. Drawing on my background in geology and my Gemological Institute of America Applied Jewelry Professional certificate, I meticulously select and source specimens from reputable suppliers. Each gem or cabochon not only boasts unique beauty but also tells a story of our planet’s geological history. 

I am committed to quality and craftsmanship, personally cutting and polishing each cabochon and gemstone to ensure the highest standards. Every purchase is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity, providing a carefully researched description of your one-of-a-kind piece.

Have a specific design in mind?

If you have a vision for a custom-designed piece or don’t see exactly what you’re looking for in my collection, I would love to collaborate with you. Your ideas are important, and I am dedicated to bringing your unique jewelry dreams to life.

Feel free to reach out to me directly to discuss your custom jewelry aspirations or to delve deeper into the captivating world of lapidary art. Let’s create something extraordinary together!
