Our Philosophy
Timeless Beauty Through Handcrafted Jewelry
Jewelry is more than an accessory — it's a design piece that tells a story. I create handcrafted jewelry that highlights the natural beauty of high-quality gemstones, focusing on pendants and pendant earring sets that feel both elegant and effortless.
My double-sided cabochons are crafted to showcase intricate patterns and rich colors, allowing the raw beauty of the earth to take center stage. Some of my pendants feature a cross carved into the surface, adding a meaningful detail for those who seek a deeper connection in the pieces they wear.
For those looking for something truly personal, I also offer custom orders, working closely with clients to bring their vision to life — a specific stone, a favorite color, or a one-of-a-kind shape designed just for you.
Our Craft
Crafted With Passion, Shaped by Time
The beauty of natural stones is unmatched, and I have spent a lifetime learning how to honor that beauty through expert craftsmanship. My passion for lapidary arts began in high school, and over the years I have built a vast collection of vintage and modern rough.
I take pride in my ability to reveal the hidden brilliance within each stone, shaping and polishing it until its colors, textures, and patterns come to life. Every gemstone I work with has a story written by nature — my job is to make sure that story is told.
At Simply Stone Arts, every pendant and pair of earrings is more than just an accessory. It's a reflection of the craftsmanship, dedication, and deep appreciation for the natural world that I bring to my work every day.

Tom Monroe
Owner & Lapidary Artist
I've been passionate about stones since high school, collecting and cutting them for decades. What started as a lifelong love for lapidary arts has grown into Simply Stone Arts — where I craft handcrafted jewelry that highlights the natural beauty of each gemstone.
With a vast collection of high-quality rough, I carefully cut, shape, and polish every piece — creating double-sided cabochons and simple, elegant designs that showcase the unique patterns and textures of the earth's finest materials. My focus is always on craftsmanship, letting each stone tell its own story.
Whether it's a pendant, a pair of earrings, or a custom order, I take pride in creating jewelry that feels timeless, personal, and beautifully natural.
