John Dyer Portfolio: AGTA's 2011 Spectrum Cutting Edge Awards™
You can reach John Dyer of John Dyer & Co. in Edina, MN through contact info on his website:
http://www.johndyergems.com/ In 1996 a partnership was born between David & John Dyer, following gem shopping travels to mines in Zambia and Brazil, John bought his first Ultra-Tec...the results of that decision are now public knowledge. A few short years later, 2004, John became the first cutter to sweep an entire category for the AGTA Cutting Edge Awards!
From Professional Jeweler:
""John Dyer has achieved the highest pinnacles of success in gem cutting despite – or perhaps because of – his modest nature. Free of the bounds of arrogance and self-importance, he pursues beauty for beauty’s sake. Along the way, he’s won multiple American Gem Trade Association Cutting Edge Awards." read more at: http://www.johndyergems.com/profjeweler.html
