About Us

THE BRAZILIAN CONNECTION

The Brazilian Connection was established in 1991. The proprietor, Dennis Snyder, specializes in the importation of precious gemstones from Brazil and other corners of the world. Some of our acquired "inside" information is invaluable on our gemstone acquisition trips to the interior of Minas Gerais. Although Brazil is the source of the majority of the gems that we sell, many come from other remote locations of the world, Tanzania, India, Australia, Russia, Pakistan and Madagascar are locations worthy of mention.

Colored gemstones at wholesale prices is just where our business starts. We also professionally mount any gemstone that we sell in jewelry of your choice. We offer thousands of gold or silver settings from several casting companies so you can be assured that we will have available the right ring, earring, pendant or custom item for your needs. Links to Stuller Settings Catalog and Ovenight Mountings Catalog, two of our favorite casting suppliers are at the bottom of this page. For more information in this area, your e-mail will be answered promptly. We also perform all types of jewelry repairs, from stone replacements, ring sizings or a simple broken chain repair, price quotes will be supplied before repairs are started.

Twaalib, N.Y., New York	Dear Dennis, I am looking at the ring that you made for me and it is "beautiful"!!! Merry Christmas and may this season be the brightest for you!! R. McFarland
Just wanted you to know that I received my order & am thoroughly delighted with the stones. I will definitely be doing business with you again. Thank you so much! M. Pettis Muskego, WI	Thank you very much! I just received today the ametrine stone set in the sterling silver pendant and it is beautiful. The colors are so nice and smoothly transitioned that it is amazing! Your prices and your work are tremendous. I'm going to bookmark your site on all my browsers and will definitely order from you again! Thank you. S. Gregory, San Diego, CA
I just wanted to let you know that I received my linde star sapphire stone and I am very pleased. It came very nicely packaged, too. I will definitely continue to do business with you! D. Jacobson, Rochester, MN	There are no words that can express the thank you that I am trying to say to you. THANK YOU. The Sphene is beautiful, the colors in it just glitter without stopping. The Mint Tourmaline can get me into trouble, as I would like to have possibly two more like these, I don't normally put my stones into jewelry, put a pair of these would make beautiful earrings. Again, I cannot find the words to express my appreciation. Elaine, San Leandro, CA
