I'm a 63 year old recent advanced diploma graduate in jewellery design and fabrication from the West Australian Technical College. Born in Kenya, East Africa, I began making jewellery to keep me young - and it works! Australian Natural Gem Jewellery is a small 'mobile' business - I take my display and products to conventions, cruise ships and country fairs. As the name implies, all my work uses the rich natural resources of Australia - natural alluvial nuggets, pearls from our NorthWest coast, opals, sapphires and many of the magnificent gem quality rocks that we have in such abundance. A prospector chum keeps me in nuggets and, when he's not out bush, helps man the stand - and how people love yarning with him! I have a small studio in an old hotel along with other jewellers, painters and textile artists - always a source of new ideas. I used to get a regular monthly or weekly email from Ganoksin but seem to have fallen off the adress list!!; http://www.australiannaturalgemjewellery.com.au Australian Natural Gem Jewellery
