"We have low overhead, and we‘re selective with who we deal with," he says. "Our profit margins are small. We make money through qlmtity." Loose diamonds and emeralds are what Williams Distinctive Gems specializes in, and Williams takes pride in the fact that clients are able to see different types of stones to deâ€" termine which is best for them. "Cliâ€" ents can sit in a comfortable office and compare stones...they can see all the different qualities and I have hundreds of diamonds and coâ€" loured stones of all shaPes and sizes. Colour and cut are the most imâ€" portant criâ€" teria in choosing a | stone, acâ€" cording to Williams. "The :cut is the angles and proporâ€" tions that make diaâ€" den. This way you‘ll see the true coâ€" lour and clarity. Look at it under magnification, and in sunlight, not in artificial light. Buy from someone honest and reputable so that if the quality is not what it should be you can get your money back." Williams, a longâ€"time Burlington resident, has been in business for over 10 years, and although his facâ€" tory is in Toronto, he moved his ofâ€" fice to Burlington three years ago to be closer to home. He fell into the business while looking for a ring for himself one summer. Turning down a chance to attend McMaster‘s engiâ€" neering program, he headed to California for a year at the Gemological Institute of America which is the world‘s foremost instiâ€" tute of gemological study. When he returned to Canada, he was one of the few gemologists who had studied in residence. After working for a couple of the largest wholesalers and suppliers in Canada, he decided to _ go into business for himself and has _ been busy ever since. "People know what they‘re get ting when they deal with me," he says. "Wordâ€"of mouth is how we ge most of our clients. If we do a great job, people want to come back."

First of all, it‘s not really a store and it‘s not a mall or even in a "retail" area of Burlington. It‘s an upscale office, and you can only enter if you have an appointment. And you have to buzz and be let in at the appointed time. "We‘re stricly by appointment for two reasons," explains owner Keith Williams, Graduate Gemologist. "For security and to offer personalâ€" ized service to all of our customers. For examâ€" v ple, we have a client who is a chiro practor who needs something functional that won‘t get in the way at work.
