Welcome to Holey Stones ebay, where ordinary is unacceptable.  In 1993 we founded our retail store, Out-West Designs in Sisters, OR.   There we offered the best in stone beads and findings as well as our jewelry designs.  Over the years Out-West became a landmark in downtown Sisters.  In 2005 the store was sold to our manager and her husband who continue to offer the very best in beads and supplies as well as other items.  Out-West is still a landmark business here in Sisters.  Selling the store front allowed us to return to the bench, and to our custom work as well as to focus on teaching.  We currently own and opperate Custom House School of Lapidary and Jewelry Design, in downtown Sisters.  Here you will find us cutting rock, hand sculpting stone beads, drops, and custom cuts, working at the bench, or teaching. We have a full school here and classes are offered in a workshop format.  (for more information on the classes we offer please contact us)  In addition to our studio work we spend a fair amount of time out digging our own material.  Then of course there is Tucson!   We really are a couple of rock hounds who have run completely amuk where stone is concerned!  Back to our story:
   in 2000 son Ken joined the team and along with his expertise in cutting brings a knowledge of computers.  He cuts for Custom House under the AKA of Holey Stones.   Under his guidance we are building our ebay reputation, and on-line store, with the same commitment to excellence with which we built Out-West Designs, and Custom House Studios.  Feel free to visit us at Custom House Studios.

  Having a background in fine art and a knowledge of color theory as well as skill in the jewelry and lapidary arts, we specialize in hand-carved stone beads and drops, one of a kind stone suites for the designer, and custom and designer jewelry.   As fabricators, each piece of jewelry is made by hand, one piece at a time.  Whether you desire rough material, finished stones or designer jewelry, Holey Stones offers only the best.  As always your satisfaction is guaranteed!  That means you can buy with confidence every time!   That's it in a nut-shell, so for now,
