I have spent many years in the jewelry industry and one of the highlights of my formal training was studying under a designer from Van Clef & Arpels at the Gemologiacal Institute of America in Carlsbad, California. This remarkable study complimented my Bachelor of Fine Arts in Jewelry and Metalsmithing degree.
