The Art of Lapidary

Lapidary is one of the world's oldest crafts — the skilled practice of cutting, grinding, and polishing stones to reveal their inner brilliance. A true master lapidary understands not just the technical precision required, but also the intuition needed to honour each stone's unique character. Ken brings both to every piece he works on.
