Our Story

Struzi Stones is a partnership between sisters Sharon and Diana. We grew up fascinated by rocks – always bringing them home, collecting them, and learning about their origins and uses in jewelry. Eventually, when we had the opportunity, we began to travel to places where we could put these instincts to good use. Places like Arkansas and North Carolina proved irresistible as they offered stones that could be cut into beautiful gemstones.

As our collecting progressed, and our stash became ever larger, we decided it was time to finally utilize all the beautiful rough stones for something other than window dressing. After acquiring basic tools and a simple diamond saw / flat lap system, we taught ourselves how to shape and polish cabochons. From there, Sharon took up the art of wire wrapping and I, Diana, focused on silver smithing. The items in this online catalog and available for sale at our craft show displays are the results of our labors.
