We attend various trade shows when we go to Tucson. One of the major shows is AGTA – The American Gem Trade Association (AGTA), one of THE major professional organizations in the jewelry industry where fine gems and jewelry are exhibited and sold. Their focus is on color gemstones, rather than diamonds. It holds a world-wide design competition “The Spectrum Awards” every year, with entries from extraordinarily talented jewelry designers.
Below are featured six pieces of jewelry that were created by AGTA designers. The first one is a Spectrum Award winner, and the next five by other designers. The last four were designed by me and manufactured by a master jeweler. All are for sale. Price upon request.*
