Introducing our Woz™ Cut
So, what's the story behind the Woz™? Our Founder, Eric, recalls opening his first office in the late 70's after working out of his house for the first six months in business. Soon after, a friend opened a neighboring office for gem cutting and was one of the first 'fancy' cutters Eric met in the industry.

So, what is it and why care that it’s back?We originally created @columbiagemhousetradeshow during the height of Covid when, for the first time in history, the Tucson Gem Shows were cancelled. With our owner, Eric, being one of the first people to help get the Tucson Gem Shows going, it meant this was the first time in over 40 years that we weren’t going to make our annual trip to the desert. Now, for those of you...
