Jeweler/ Jewelry Designer (My specialty is Black Coral Jewelry):
I learned most of my trade from the goldsmiths in Thailand and have been designing and making jewerly for over 30-years.
I enjoy designing and then creating those designs. I started this trade as a hobby many years ago while in high school and gradually learned the many different skills for cutting stones and fabricating jewerly both in gold and sterling silver.
I learned about black coral during my diving experiences in Saudi Arabia where I worked for 10 years from 1975 to 1985. While diving in the Red Sea my son and I discovered the black coral at depths of 75 to 100 feet below the surface. From 1975 to 1978, we harvested the coral along with other diving friends and eventually I learned how to cure the coral and prepare it for making jewelry. The rest is history along with many hours of practice and hands on work. As I have said, I have been doing jewelry work for over 30-years and it has always been my passion to create and fabricate the designs that I have created over the years. The simple designs usually turn out to be very pleasing to the eye, but always, each and every design is a pleasant surprise when it is finished. I hope everyone enjoys their work as much as I do. Have a great day! Vince
