I have been a jeweler since 1983.
Prior to that I was an engineer in the Merchant Marine. I gained a total fascination with the oceans and it's life.
When I quit sailing, I opened a small shop in Lake Tahoe, California,(1983-1990), and started to make and design jewelry.
I chose marine life to be the focal point of what I wanted to create. I am self taught, and have had no formal instruction
other than gemology classes. I used to own a shop in Sausalito, California, and decided I was tired of being tied down
7 days a week. I currently spend 6 months a year in Florida, the winter season manufacturing gold and silver
jewelry, and selling at some of the top art festivals in the nation. The other six months a year I am travelling
doing art festivals and renaissance faires. I have complete manufacturing capibility while I am traveling, and have
clients all over the United States and Canada, as well as other countries, so orders are always shipped promptly. All
of my silver jewelry I make is marked TK925USA with the USA designating the country of manufacture, all of my gold jewelry
is marked TK14KUSA, with USA designating the country of manufacture as well. I am happy to say
I have a strong repeat client list, and that says something. If you have any questions please feel free to
contact me by E-MAIL at tkgoldandsilver@msn.com or call 775-772-6863. Thank you....Tony Kassebaum/Jeweler
