About Us

Larry and Janet Everitt have been cutting stones and doing silver and gold work for 20 years. They constantly strive to find unique rough and unusual stones to make designer, one-of-a-kind art jewelry. They are lapidaries ,designing and cutting their own stones, and also enjoy setting beautifully cut stones. The advantage of being a lapidary is that stones can be improved and re-cut for individual designs.  

 

The Everitt’s designs are elegant, simple and highly polished with attention to detail focusing on a glowing piece of fine art jewelry, resulting in a large following of satisfied return customers around the world.  

 

Everitt’s Minerals & Gallery also shows the work of 14 other fine artists from the local and surrounding areas of Idyllwild, that include ceramics, art gourds, bronze sculptures and fine paintings. A list of the artists and their websites follows:
