Award Winning Gemcutters at Mardon
February 19th, 2015 by James L. Sweaney, CGA, FGA. GGMardon Jewelers has a new relationship with two of America’s finest gem cutters, John Dyer and David Brackna. We met both of these award winning artists at this year’s Tuscon Gem show and were able to purchase fine examples of their work. We’ll soon be showing these wonderful gemstones in our unique Mardon Original Jewelry.
John Dyer is a master gemstone cutter known worldwide for his artistic creations and his passion for precision. He’s won 37 AGTA Cutting Edge Awards including 9 first place prizes. John’s work is truly exciting and his taste and selection of materials are wonderful. Each of his gems is etched with his logo so you’ll know it’s a genuine Dyber gemstone. You can visit his website to see a catalog of his work.
David Brackna is a senior member of the American Gem Trade Association. He’s also a multiple AGTA Cutting Edge Award winner. He’s known as a true innovator in the field of gem cutting and specializes in cutting new and rare materials from Africa. Examples of his work are on exhibit at the Smithsonian Institute, Washington, D.C.
These beauties are available to see at our shop and will soon be featured in new Mardon designer pieces.
