Gary & Rosemary Fortmayer
Gary was born and raised in the New Orleans area. He was educated first as an astronomer and later as a Physicist. He currently works for a major aerospace corporation as an engineering analyst.

He has had an interest in gems and jewelry for many years but has not had the time to pursue these interets. Now that he has the opportunity, he has devoted himself to the art of jewelry making.

Gary has taught himself to facet and cab stones. He has attended silversmith and goldsmith classes both locally and at Wild Acres Lapidary School in Little Switzerland, NC.   In addition, he has taken classes in wax making and metal casting. Thus, he is able to call upon a large number of skills in making his custom jewelry.
Rosemary was born and raised in Brooklyn, NY and moved to New Orleans in her late teens.  She is the mother of four boys and has a grandson and granddaughter. After working many years as a registered nurse, she has finally retired.

She is also interested in the art of jewelry making.  Her interest is in making beautiful hand woven chains of sterling silver, copper, and gold.   She has attended numerous chain making classes, both locally and at Wild Acres Lapidary School in Little Switzerland, NC.
