A passport to the world through a jeweler’s lens

I have this mildly obsessive (okay, annoying) habit of turning travel—both around the U.S. and abroad—into jewelry field trips. Whether it’s a museum exhibit, a gem market, or some obscure antique shop in the middle of nowhere, I somehow always end up face-to-face with something shiny. Sometimes it’s educational. Sometimes it’s just an excuse to share a good story and a love for taking photos.
