Tribute to an artist: The gem-carving world lost one of its brightest lights with the death of Gil Roberts

Article Abstract:

Gil Robert's work spoke for itself, when he won a string of Cutting Edge Awards from the American Gem Trade Association (AGTA) and established a reputation as one of the finest carvers in North America. RobertEs work is both serious and academic, funny ad irreverent, wildly imaginative, spiritually enlightened, therefore his death has come as a great loss for the carving world.
