I have been studying metalsmithing, gemology, and the business of jewellery for just over 2 years. I have signed a lease in a new studio/store location in a heritage mill which is advertised as an artists coop. I have a grand opening planned for september 2006. In the meantime I have had 3 very successful events selling loose gems and am now organizing with clients to make custom pieces with their gems.; www.gallerygemma.com
