Günther Weinz GmbH
In 1958 Guenther Weinz, son of the gemstone cutter Otto Weinz, founded the company Günther Weinz GmbH. As a young man he was already fascinated by gemstones! On his trips to Brazil, Russia, Burma, Sri Lanka, Thailand and Taiwan, he always looked for something unusual and great quality!
Gemstones like TOURMALINE, BERYL, MOONSTONE, OPAL, and LAPIS, offered wonderful variety and exclusivity! With the entry of his son, Hans-Joachim, in 1974 the focus changed to increasing self-processing of raw gemstone.
Many exceptional and individual gemstone necklaces have been created within the last 35 years, showing unusual designs in beautiful stone quality.
The pieces range from very ornate to clean and simple, all meticulously crafted to please the eye and delight the senses. The expanding product range includes individual gemstone rings, carvings, as well as special cabochons and faceted stones.
Günther Weinz stock of unset stones is huge and varied, the result of a successful 4-generational company tradition. In business for 63 years, Günther Weinz company is specialized in fine colored gemstones, both loose and set in their own one-of-a-kind designs, such as Crystal, Baroque or Nugget necklaces. Timeless and classic design combined with the wonderful variety of fine coloured gemstones and gold creates an exclusive product!
Günther Weinz is proud to offer German craftsmanship, advising on colored gemstones as an investment and personalized service.

Archaic Dark Jade Monkey And Eagle
By Artistian Made
Located in San Diego, CA
Seated upright, the jade eagle is decorated with symmetrical curls on the wings and back. On the breast of the bird there are fine curved incisions. The eagle, with its strong brows and beak, is looking ahead confidently. This archaic piece represents Eastern Zhou Dynasty style eagles.
The jade monkey is in a seated position with one hand held up to his ear and the other crossed in front of his body. The monkey is carved with wrinkles on his brow and a long, curling tail reaching upward on his back.
During the Qianlong period, eagle carvings, usually paired with a bear, appeared on archaic jade carvings. Together the eagle and the bear mean “hero”.
“Monkeys are symbols of longevity because they are believed to have the ability to live for a long time, Their name, hou, is a pun for marquess, so they are also symbols of high rank. Monkeys bring to mind the exploits of the monkey Sun Wukong...
