All globes are not created equal. Our Jeweler Quality Gemstone Globes are the finest globes in the world and are the epitome of great craftsmanship. Twenty exquisite Grade A gemstones are used for the oceans and countries of the world. Our globes contain no faux gemstones or resin as with some manufacturers.
Ten coats of clear acrylic are applied to protect the gemstone and precious gold and silver metals.
The finest quality brass, copper and pewter electroplating is used for our stands and mountings.
Our stands and fittings are lacquered to prevent tarnishing.
Because we do all this, our gemstone globes last forever and require virtually no care or maintenance. Simply dust them off occasionally and wipe smudges off with a damp cloth. That's all you'll ever have to do.
Our globes are precision handcrafted. Our larger globes take over 1,000 man hours to produce. Whole gemstones are hand cut in the shape of countries. Stones are not pieced together as with the globes of other manufacturers.
