I am 40 and i have had a life long passion for creating jewellery. I have trained and worked as a Goldsmith, Designer, Gemmologist, Setter, Hand engraver and a Carver. I have been mainly carving crests and coats of arms onto Gold and Gemstone for the last 10 years. I am still doing that work for customers in Canada and the US through my website. My main focus now is the carving of Portrait Cameos onto Gemstone. I mainly work with Layered agate, Black onyx, Bloodstone, Lapis-Lazuli and Quartz. I am just starting to experiment with PMC, which is fun. I was born in Britain and grew up here and trained here. I recently spent 11 years in Vancouver, BC, Canada. I have returned to the UK and i have been here for the last 18 months.; http://www.portrait-cameos.com Eckley Gem Carving
