It's always exciting for us to see the outcome, after having invested days of love labor. Every artwork requires creatively thinking, brainstorming of unique arrangements and formulating logical steps for a flawless execution, in order to get it just right.
Playing with gemstones you never know the exact outcome. It's a combination of many things, like a pair of gifted eyes coupled with skilful hands, understanding of how gemstone colors and textures change under different lighting conditions, and many more.
It's the beauty of the process and magical outcomes that makes it all very worthwhile, both for you and us :)
As artists, we strive for 'just the finest', sometimes, even if that means compromising profit. In fact, our great prices barely cover operating expenses and leave enough room for growth.

We want you to love what you buy. It's a win-win for everyone - you get the best value for your cash and we get to do what we love. Dante Gems™ 90 day guarantee demonstrates just that.

7 reasons why our framing is better than what you can find locally:
What's more... not only will your portrait come completely framed with fine art quality crystal clear protective glass and backing, we'll pack it in a solid box when shipping to ensure it arrives safely and ready to be given as is.
In brief - all is done for you!
Just place an order, sit back and relax, because you can be sure of the outcome without even opening the box. Here is how...
We'll update you before shipping - We will send you pictures of the finished artwork to confirm prior to dispatch, so it will be exactly the way you want it.
Better, you can request free edits until you're 100% happy with the outcome.
The finished artwork must also undergo a rigorous quality review by one of our most experienced gem artists to make sure you only receive The First Class portraits, no matter what sizes they are.
And when it's sent (the same day you approve), you will be informed of every step in the process so there will be no unexpected surprises.
Dante Gems™ fast turnaround helps you keep the present as a secret until the very last moment so your loved one won't even suspect the slightest. After all, don't you enjoy watching him or her receive the gift in awe?
Most importantly... you won't have to wait for weeks and wonder where your order is at, because you'll get updated to know exactly when to expect it coming. That's how to be extra sure your loved one won't see it until you want them to.
Our average turnaround is 2 to 3 weeks from the moment you place the order to when the portrait arrives at your place (click for more details on our turnaround).
Note*:
To make it fast, ensure you send the best photos possible and carefully review the Final Photo in stage one before we start converting it into gemstone art, as described below.
For each order, we ask you for approval twice:
Amending any detail while in the photo editing process is simple and fast. We can still make minor changes to the final gemstone artwork, but due to the nature of materials used, it will be a lot harder to make major edits.
Even better news...
As a unique collectible piece of artwork, your portrait's value will only increase over time as the materials - gemstones used to make it, become even scarcer in the future.
In fact, our gem art from photo prices do increase from time to time. So don't be surprise to pay more the next time around.
Not that you intend to, but in the long term, the artwork will inevitably become a very intelligent investment by itself! Don't you want a present that will increase 10 times in value over the next 10-20 years?
Isn't that wonderful to own? Perhaps, a luxury anniversary gift your loved one will cherish for life and a valuable inheritance for your future generations?
It's like 'killing two birds with one stone'
...said one of our customers.
There you have it - a gemstone artwork that can be treasured for your grand, grand children as a family heirloom so that they can remember and admire their grand, grandparents for a very long time to come.
On the other hand, the artwork itself will be of high sentimental and collectible value in the near future, making those depicted in it part of the history.
In the end, he or she will be delighted by your smart choice.
