Please let me introduce myself and tell you a few things about my business. My name is  W. "Scott" Forrest.
I have been very lucky to have grown up around the mining and gemstone business. My father Bill and his partner Buzz Gray owned the "Benitoite Gem Mine" They taught me how to facet and inspired me in the business. For several years I faceted Benitoite and other precious stones for them.  Later began to sell my own, and in 1993 opened my retail store. My location is great and easy to find, right in the heart of Old Town Clovis. The area is very similar to Old Town Sacramento. Clovis is on the North East side of Fresno, almost the center of California, about halfway between San Francisco and Los Angeles. My emphasis is always on loose gems. I facet most of them and handle each one to maximize beauty and value.  From preform to polish, I take great care to produce a superior product. My business has been changing and now more of it comes from the internet.  Whether you come in my store or buy online,  I will try to make you happy to earn your business for future sales and referals to friends.
