In 2006, I completed my studies at the Gemological Institute of America in New York City. I studied for many years to earn my G.G. – Graduate Gemologist degree. I also completed classes in Pearl Stringing, Basic Jewelry Repair and stone setting. I love the scientific aspect of gemstones and I enjoy reading and keeping up with the latest news related to gems. Occasionally I keep my hand in the stone setting, and when I have something I am proud with, I’ll put it for sale here on this page.
