Gem Cutting
Bringing Out a Stone’s Best
Our specialty at Bopie’s is to use our creativity, passion, and experience to turn your vision into reality. That’s why, in addition to custom design services, we offer stellar custom gem cutting services by international award-winning lapidary Michael Sackos.
Veteran and husband to Bopie, Mike has as much of a passion for beautiful gems as does his wife. It wasn’t long after Bopie began her business that Michael took up learning the art of gem cutting, completing schooling, contesting, and placing in competitions around the world. With decades of experience under his belt, you can trust Mike to cut the stone of your choice into an incredible work of art for your custom piece, and with so many connections around the world, Mike is more than able to find high-quality rough from reliable sources to make it happen.
If you’re interested in having a gem specially cut for your custom piece or collection, please call or text us at 910-860-4884.
