About
W.Scott
Forrest
Gemstones
Please let me introduce myself and tell you
a few things about my business. My name is W. "Scott" Forrest.
I have
been very lucky to have grown up around the mining and gemstone
business. My
father Bill and his partner Buzz Gray owned
the
"Benitoite
Gem
Mine"
They
taught
me
how
to
facet
and
inspired
me
in the business. For several years I
faceted Benitoite and other precious stones for them. Later began
to sell my own, and in
1993 opened my retail store. My location is great and easy to find,
right in the heart of Old Town Clovis. The area
is very similar to Old Town Sacramento. Clovis is on
the North East side of Fresno, almost the center of California, about
halfway between San Francisco and Los Angeles. My
emphasis is always on loose gems. I facet most of them and handle each
one to maximize beauty and value. From preform to
polish, I take great care to produce a superior product. My business
has been changing and now more of it comes from the internet.
Whether you come in my
store or buy online, I will try to make you happy to earn your
business for future sales and referals to friends.

you

taking the time to look.
Hope
to hear
from
you soon!
