Best South Gems

Eli Best began collecting gems and minerals in the early 2000s, and his love for crystals has grown over the years. It all started with a personal collection and the joy of meeting numerous beautiful people in the community.

What were once hobbies have evolved into a career. Many of Eli’s friends are jewelers, so he started helping them acquire gems for their projects. Witnessing all their beautiful creations, and with their help and inspiration, he embarked on making jewelry himself.

Today he sources the best quality gems and minerals from all over the world. This has provided him with the opportunity to showcase the beauty of each stone in his own jewelry.
