Maria T LovaasPalm City, FL. USA
I am from Bolivia; an Anthropologist; my passions are jewelry and
gardening.
Took a one-year jewelry course 20 years ago with a wonderful and old
french professor. We covered the basics and theory on gemology too.
This was in Miami, Florida. Since then, I am in love with jewelry.
Now, that I am retired, I am dedicating a lot of my free time making
and designing jewelry, just for friends, family and myself; however,
I would love to be able to make one-of-a-kind pieces for sale.
I am always eager to learn more about jewelry. To get to know the
secrets of the trade. To get to participate in forums, etc.
I am so pleased to have found your site. Thank you!

Currently, I am studying Gemmology at George Brown College in

I am looking forward to reconnecting with my Orchid friends.
