Gangi has been making and displaying his gems and stone sculptures for over thirty years. Since then he has become a regular participant at America's largest and most prestigious jewelry trade shows such as AGTA in Tucson and JCK in Las Vegas. Part of what makes Bill Gangi's gems so special is that he travels the world and mines all of his own materials in what he calls "boutique mining." His unique style often leaves part of the gem unpolished, highlighting its true beauty. Gangi's stone-carving process is a mixture of philosophy, aesthetics, and a sense of adventure. Don't miss this chance to see and perhaps purchase some incredible gems of all prices and pick the brain of a master stone carver. www.gangigems.com
