I have unintentionally become quite famous in the jewelry business. I started out as a simple country boy and have always lived on a farm enjoying being self employed as a wallpaper hanger, farmer, carpenter, heavy equipment operator, welder, interior designer, commercial painter, feng shui consultant, herbalist, dietary consultant, yoga instructor, plumber, cabinet maker, on and on in my own little quiet area of Ohio.

Things changed dramatically once I met my wife. She is from Thailand so we established an additional home in her hometown. I noticed gemstones in the market there and became curious as I had never wore jewelry or paid any attention to it. I had no work in Thailand so when a goldsmith friend offered to teach me the trade I jumped at the opportunity and became a metalsmith of the old school techniques in record time, according to my instructor.  I then needed to really understand the gemstones I was working with so I took a gemology course with the ISG and became a Registered Gemologist. 

Now after a hard day of working in the field with my tractor or backhoe I find myself settling down to some relaxing time at my jewelers bench creating something. 

My offices are now my ebay store headquarters and gemology labs. Thankfully my family takes an interest in all this as well so we share the fun of the work together whether it is in the garden, the garage or the office. 

I consider myself very fortunate to be able to work hard and enjoy life with my family. Thanks for helping to make it all possible by shopping in our ebay store!!

Best regards, Lee Little, Registered Gemologist ISG and True Metalsmith.
