    Hello, 

    I have been jewelry instructor for the City of Huntington Beach, CA
    for 6 years. Gemstones, natural motif, colors... are my passion. I
    like to put them together to see how they transform into another
    life. 

    Jewelry making with me therefore a hobby first. Then gradually comes
    to a part-time job that can release stress from my legal job. 

    Sincerely yours
    Vinh

    I entered the jewelry industry as an adult. Starting jewelry as a
    hobby I determined I wanted it as a career. I went to GIA to get my
    GG and to study design and then to Revere to take their jewelry
    technician intensive. 

    In 2005 I opened my studio. I have won two international design
    awards, one in Hong Kong and another in Denver. I show at juried
    artisan shows, but also work at designing unusual jewelry findings
    and clasps which I use for my pieces and also sell to other
    designers. 

    Since I have over 4 years experience using CAD as a design tool and
    over 25 years in the computer industry before joining the jewelry
    industry I would say that a computer is my strongest tool. 

    I love more traditional jewelry manufacturing techniques and have
    taken classes each year to add to my skills. Many people have been
    kind and generous to me since I have joined the jewelry industry.
    All have known full well I am a newby, but one that wants to learn
    and improve. I thank them all.
