A Jere Wright Global gemstone globe is truly the genuine article. We specifiy and inspect all of the high quality materials that go into our globes, including:

• Twenty exquisite Grade A gemstones are used for the oceans and countries of the world. Our globes contain no faux gemstones or resin as with some manufacturers.
• Glittering gold and silver leaf is used for the latitude and longitude lines.
• Ten coats of clear acrylic are applied to protect the gemstone and precious metals.
• The finest quality brass, copper and pewter electroplating is used for our stands and mountings.
• Our stands and fittings are lacquered to prevent them from tarnishing.
• Because we do all this, our gemstone globes last forever and require virtually no care or maintenance. Simply dust them off occasionally and wipe smudges off with a damp cloth. (Detailed care instructions below)

Our globes are tensioned at each axle to ensure they rotate freely when you spin them and stay stationery when you don't. This provides extra stability and prevents against wear and tear.

Every country is represented by a semi-precious stone from around the world, and the stone are indigenous to the country whenever possible. Some of the stones used are Picture Jasper, Abalone, Malachite, Mother-of-Pearl, Jade, Emerald, Green Agate, Tiger’s-Eye, as well as many others.

Each stone is carefully cut and polished, then hand inlaid into a bed of ground lapis, onyx, red jasper or howlite. The lines for latitude and longitude are highlighted with inlaid gold using a special technology. Each globe is then encased in 7 coats of acrylic protective coating. The finished globe is then mounted into a polished stone, lacquered metal, or other exquisite frame.

Our globes are wonderful for both personal and corporate gifts. These works of art enhance the beauty of your home and office. They are especially valued when given as a corporate incentive award, and are treasured for years to come.

RETURN POLICY: Returns for defective products only.

Below is a complete list of the gemstones used in the crafting of our globes, along with the countries they are used for.

If you do need to do a more thorough job of cleaning, clean the globe with a mild dishwashing detergent on a cloth or sponge with warm water (not hot). Rinse with fresh water on cloth or sponge and dry with a lint-free towel or cloth.  Do not allow cleaner to come in contact with the globe as this may discolor the crystal polyurethane finish, which protects the stones.

Copper finished bases are best cleaned with a mild dishwashing liquid and should be cleaned as noted in the globe cleaning instructions above.  We recommend using the same cleaning techniques for Lapis-Based stands.

We recommend cleaning Brass and Copper surfaces first, then cleaning the globe.  Maintenance is done with a Jeweler’s Cloth.

Good care of your Globe will ensure its beauty for years to come…
