Western Gem & Jewel
My name is Keanan Janus, and I’m located in the Bitterroot Valley of southwest Montana with my Wife and Daughter. I have always had a passion for Gemology, Geology, and Mineralogy and have over 16 years of metalworking experience. I have been educated by the Gemological Institute of America (GIA) and am an Applied Jewelry Professional, Colored Stone Grader, Diamond Grader, as well as a Gem Cutter. My motivation for creating Western Gem & Jewel comes from wanting to help people get quality one-of-a-kind jewelry, gems, and mineral specimens without having to deal with outrageous prices or inauthentic products.
My bottom line, I take pride creating special pieces as unique as you are.
