Relatively new to the business. I attended the Revere Academy in 2000, then returned to college. After graduating in 2002, I was self-employed doing various jobs until deciding to go into jewelry full-time last Fall (2004). At Revere, I took a week long class with Kent Raible which proved to be one of the most important classes I've ever had. It led me exactly where I wanted to go and now I do virtually only 18K granulation. However, I am just starting out still and have much to learn about the business.
