About
The keeper of the Ravens Box
Twenty years in the gold fields of Nevada. Five years at the wheel. A lifelong eye for fine things.
Jack Whaley
Miner, cutter, connoisseur
Jack spent twenty years as a gold miner in Nevada, and a lifetime appreciating finer things. He has always been fascinated by the depth of beauty in gemstones and fine jewelry.
Five years ago he took up the craft of gem cutting, and later bought a sunstone mine in Plush, Oregon. Today he works Oregon sunstone from his own ground alongside colored stones sourced from all over the world.
Ravens Box is where he offers finished gems, custom cuts, recuts and repairs of scratched or damaged stones, cutting of rough you supply, and, on request, sourcing and cutting the stone you're looking for.
The Process
From rough to finished
Sourced
Sunstone from his own mine in Plush, Oregon, colored stones from around the world, or rough you bring him.
Consulted
Every project starts with a conversation about the stone, its potential and what you want from it.
Cut & Shipped
Cut, recut or repaired with care, then returned to you by insured shipping.
Why the raven?
Ravens are known to gather bright, curious treasures. Like them, Jack has spent a lifetime seeking out what glitters, first gold, now gemstones, and keeps only the finest.
