My name is Joel Santos and I am the owner of Lazy J Concepts.

I am a lapidary artist as well as an emerging metalsmith. Based in Louisville, Colorado, I was taught how to cut cabochons in 2014 and haven’t looked back. As a lapidary, my focus is on cutting the stone to showcase its unique characteristics. As a metalsmith, I keep my metal work simple so it doesn’t distract from the stonework. I started doing metal work to widen my consumer demographic and appeal to a larger audience. Follow me on Instagram and Facebook to see current projects and works in progress.
