Valerie Wood
Hopewell Junction, NY. USA

Rank novice in the jewelry-making world with less than 2 years of
experience, entirely self taught. Since I know so little, everything
is new to me and each day whole worlds open up that I did not know
about the day before. This is wonderful!

Marvin Butts
Marvin’s Jewelry & Repairs
Morganfield, USA

I am a self taught jewelry. If I can see something I can make it. I
have learned through trial and error. I have been working with
repairing jewelry and faceting gemstones for 6 years now. I have
recently opened a new store. I enjoy repairing jewelry and seeing
the satisfaction from the customer of apprecition of good work. I
design one of a kind pieces of jewelry. I do 99 percent of my work
is with gold.

Paul Wilson
Camden, USA

I have been a jeweler now for 33 years. I have worked in
manufacturing as well as having my own business for six years. I am
currently working for a restyle company.

There is nothing more satisfying then seeing a persons first
reaction when they are presented with that special piece you created
just for them. Awesome!!!
