A retired engineer today, I spent over 10 years in Jos Plateau State
Nigeria where during my free time I learned to facet semi precious
stones from Plateau State such as Aquamarine and Heliodor,
Tourmaline, Natural Zircons, Sapphires, Topaz, Granate which are
mined in this state. When I left a few years ago upon retiring, I
started to make gold and silver jewelry as a hobby. I would like to
start faceting again and have designed an autonomous faceting head
which I would like to share with other people who may be interested
in improving it and building it as well.

I am a mother of 4 kids and find my time in my studio so fulfilling,
allowing my creative side to shine between driving my kids here and
there. My time in my studio is my reward for the monotony of
housework, etc… The bonus is people liking and buying my work.
This is why I named my business All about me, it’s that time I get to
invest in my artful endeavors.
