The best kept jewelry secret in Stuart, Florida and beyond.

Master Jeweler and Gemologist Terry Rieger's 47 year career had an unusual beginning. As a traditional artist in her early 20's, Terry's culinary hobby provided an additional outlet for display of her artistic talent. She delighted in designing confectionery masterpieces. If she wasn't creating exquisitely decorated wedding cakes for friends and family, she was sculpting whimsical, mouth-watering candies, or designing sugar Easter eggs with complete 3-D panoramas inside. The occupants of those windowed eggs were meticulously detailed, right down to microscopic whiskers on the tiny Easter bunnies. One of those Easter eggs, a gift to a family friend, is responsible for launching her lifelong career in jewelry. That family friend happened to be a jeweler, and became so drawn into her artistry, that he insisted her designs must be produced in gold. Her mentor, refusing to take no for an answer, arranged for a full compliment of jewelers tools to be delivered, and arranged for her to be the first and only student even tutored by noted Russian jeweler Constance Osmanski. Terry found herself commuting back and forth to Europe for the next twelve years, studying and perfecting her craft in London's famed diamond quarter, Hatton Garden. Hatton Garden is home to DeBeer's Central Selling Organization, and is regarded as one of the great jewelry areas of Europe.
