What led to the creation of Around The World Gems?
Jaime Byrd: I travel internationally every year to a new location on the globe where I can experience cultural exchange, exotic foods and new adventures every time. Because I love this experience so much and have such a strong interest in world cultures and ancient civilizations, it was quite natural to be drawn into the art and craft of other cultures jewelry and learn to take items from these countries and design with them myself.
