About Us

The Gem Cutters Guild of Baltimore, Inc., a non-profit organization, was established in order to allow its members to gain knowledge and skills in gem cutting and in identifying and evaluating lapidary materials.  We've since expanded our interests to include gaining a knowledge of jewelry, and jewelry fabrication.  Through formal classes which are open to the public, field trips, exhibitions, and cooperation with other societies, we endeavor to further our own knowledge and that of the general public.

T
he Workshop is located in Meadow Mill
3600 Clipper Mill Road #116, Baltimore, MD 21211
