Treasure Hunt in Tucson: Underwoods Team Returns From World’s Largest Gem Show

Underwoods Fine Jewelers

The Underwoods Fine Jewelers team recently returned from the world’s largest gem show in Tucson, where they hand-selected rare natural gemstones to be transformed into custom jewelry in their award-winning Fayetteville gem lab.

  • Handpicked: A third-generation family-owned jeweler in Fayetteville since 1957, Underwoods is committed to sourcing the highest-quality natural gemstones. At the Tucson Gem & Mineral Show, they carefully sought out stones for their brilliance, clarity, and uniqueness.

These gems will soon become one-of-a-kind pieces through Underwoods’ in-house custom gem lab, where you can choose loose gemstones to create a piece unique to you!
