“In my 40 year career as a diamond cutter & designer I was lucky to be pointed into my professional paths by two important mentors. My late father and Garry Holloway in 2004. Dad taught me diamond cutting and its history. Garry showed me the light (pun intended). Thanks to Garry Holloway today I enjoy combining old word styles with cutting edge light control.”
