The pictures are all taken by us.
 
The jewelry (excepting Peridot) contains gems that we manufacture in our factory.  
The pictures are of our factory and show our equipment and our personnel.
We started out pretty small.... only a gravel parking at at the time!

We invite you into our factory/theater/showroom to see how it is all done. 
There are many companies who say they make synthetic gems.
 
All the ones we know buy already faceted gems and have their jewelry made in China, Korea, India or Thailand. 
 
90% or maybe even higher of our mountings are made in the good old U.S.A.
 
We make more varieties of Synthetic and Imitation Gems than anyone else on Earth! 
And we do it here in the USA!  
We are open 51 weeks per year since 1970.
Many, many years of Very Happy Customers!
 
Recently, due to the high cost of gold we have started offering some items in 10 karat gold or Sterling silver.
Of course if you actually want an item made of Platinum or 18 karat gold...you can.

Damage guarantee!
Loss of gem guarantee!

After you receive your Shelby jewelry, examine it at no risk.

This beautiful ring above is made from solid 10kt yellow gold.
The gem is a 2.1 carat size Shelby simulated emerald.
Really a very pretty, well made ring.
Our simulated emeralds are in most ways better than natural emeralds.
Ours are much much harder and more sparkly.
Not to mention, they don't have the cracks and inclusions often found in natural emeralds.
AND... , like all of our gems,.. they come with our best in the business guarantee.



 
These are beautiful man made Hot Pink Sapphires mounted in 14kt gold. 
Made in our high temperature crystal furnaces.
