I am the only manufacturer of genuine Connemara marble and Irish marble beads currently selling on etsy and my products are guaranteed to be authentic Irish marble, all hand-crafted in the west of Ireland. My family business Connemara Marble by Gerard has been specialising in Connemara marble jewelry and gifts since 1950 and I sell only high quality genuine Irish marble items that have been quarried and hand-cut in Ireland. I do not deal in Chinese jade or counterfeit marble nor do I condone the practice. I work only with authentic Irish Connemara marble, Ulster marble, Cork marble, and Kilkenny marble and I take great pride in crafting each piece with care. My business is based on quality and trust and your satisfaction is my top priority. If you are a jewellery designer be sure to check out my section of guaranteed Irish marble beads and cabochons, crafted by hand here in western Ireland from locally-sourced Irish marble. For more information about my business and about Irish marble in general please see my etsy store profile page.
