About Vance Gems
Vance Gems is a small husband and wife company. Many of you know us from our USA Nationwide presence at Gem, Mineral & Jewelry Trade Shows, for the last 25 years. Our appearance on 1stDibs is our way to stay in touch and display our beautiful pieces, while on lock down. We use our exquisitely cut gemstones as center eye catchers for our own creations and they let us create pieces of art with mountings from our outside suppliers. We hope you will see our love for colorful and rare gemstones in our pieces. Please enjoy our Gallery. Bill and Elke
