Sumer Rusk
Indianapolis, Indiana. USA
I am a jewelry lover, as most women are, but I particularly love
learning about all of the particular types of gems, and then how
they are changed to make them “more beautiful” for the average
buyers, such as the line of topazes that are out, the mystic fire
and such. Each chance I get to travel to somewhere famed for their
jewelry, especially the Caribbean, I always come home with new
knowledge, and new pieces. Because I love the stories behind gems
and not just the price tag, my engagement ring was a $90 black hills
gold ring with a Mt. St. Helen’s Emerald where most people would
have a diamond. I value it far more than any diamond solitaire.
