I own a small jewelry business, assemble and fabricate jewelry, and also purchase for resale. I specialize in pearls. I am in the middle of getting a GG and intend to take appraisal courses upon completion. I've been a rockhound from childhood, slabbing and cabbing my finds to make jewelry. I received my first commission for a gold ring at the age of seventeen. (So long ago!) Basically, I'm a gem geek. I love Tuscon and any event where I can geek-out about jewelry, minerals and gems without putting people to sleep.; www.designsbyblaire.com Designs By Blaire
