Gems, Diamonds, Precious Stones, Semi-Precious Stones
I should begin by letting you know that I'm primarily a designer AND maker of jewelry...and that I also create sculpture and other objects, some of which can be found by browsing my website. At the same time, I very much enjoy gems of high quality and I often incorporate one or more stones in whatever I may be making, whether jewelry, baby rattles, toys...well you probably get the picture. I'd call myself more an enthusiast of particularly fine gems. I take this opportunity to show a range of gemstones that I've found to be impressive. Please note that I'm not a gemologist, although I have had more than thirty years of involvement with a wide variety of gems.
