I first was introduced to the art of jewelry fabrication by my Great Grand Father Frank T. Mosher. When I was about 5 years old he made me my first ring out of a nickel. I have been fascinated with the idea ever since. It just took retirement to allow me to pursue my artistic desires.
My Dad Kenneth Moore inspired the faceting and lapidary interest. I inherited his faceting machine and started my artistic endeavor by faceting, cutting and polishing gem stones and cabochons. I needed a better venue for selling my stones so, I started to learn how to make jewelry that would incorporate my stones. It was my next logical step. I found I enjoyed making the jewelry more than the lapidary, so the journey continues.
