our story
My name is Rosemary, my husband Greg and I started our business from the frustration of not being able to find good quality gemstones in sizes that can be worn by people other than a mega star. Our company name is Du Lyon Jewelers (doo lee own). This is a mix of Old English and French meaning “two lions”, you guessed it, we are both Leos.
I have been passionate about gemstones since I was about 6yrs old. My Barbie was a very lucky girl. I would shower her with the finest plastic and foil back gems I could pry from costume jewelry. My love for gems grew and improved over the years.
I studied Gemology at the Gemological Institute of America (GIA), and earned a Graduate Gemologist diploma. To study in a place like that was a fantasy come true.
I am a Graduate Gemologist (G.G.), jewelry designer, bead collector (hoarder), and lover of anything rocks and minerals.
