CONGRATULATIONS ANDY GULIJ winner of 2010 GEMMY AWARD. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Always a creative guy, Andy Gulij has developed unique
fantasy designs, for which he has won a number of
prizes. Now, in the 2010 Gemmys Competition he was
awarded first place for Strawberry Fields Forever --
shown in the photoa 33 ct beauty. The Gemmys are
annual awards established by Jewery Artist magazine
Strawberry Fields Forever placed first in its category of Specially Cut Gems, and then became first of the first, being awarded BEST IN COMPETITION. Of course, this is not Andys first appearance in the SomeTimes. Hes sure to be back again in the future. Andys experience in recent years has been heavy in the area of Fantasy cutting, including awards in that category. Located in San Diego as he is, an easy drive from our Santa Ana facility-- Andy was a natural to be our test pilot and consultant in evaluating the new Concave and Fantasy Machines. We were more than a little pleased that he agreed to do that and it was clear the Andy welcomed the opportunity. It has been, all in all, a vauableexperience -- we learned that Andy was not only an expert gem cutter but a clever mechanical engineer as well.

Andys creations offer inspiration for the aspiring
Fantasy
cutter. I particularly like the award winning "New
Heights"
-- see the photo below it is a beauty that doesnt
need words.
It speaks for itself.
I wanted to see "New Heights", but Andy explained that it wasnt in his shop it had been sold. Well thats a bit of bittersweet and Andys little smile and shrug betrayed that. Selling what he produces is his goal but its not always easy to see special creations leave home.

Tucson, Andy is in the TGMS.
