Hi All,
I really never did one of these, so it's about time. My name is Jim Zimmerman,
or jimzim75. I was born in Detroit, Michigan that was where I grew up.
I was first to exposed to engraving by my sixth grade shop teacher,
who taught us how to wiggle cut. That was over 50 years ago.
The next time I saw engraving and tried it was in High School in the twelfth
grade.

I decided to go to college for jewellery and design and graduated with a four
year certificate in 1975. In my next two jobs as a jeweller we had engravers
on the staff. I would get a few hints at this point.

I owner of the first shop I worked in was a setter. So I got the bug to do
setting. and Have been doing so since.

I moved to Canada worked in a few shops, then started my business.






These are a few of the setting and engraved items I offer as a service.
It's been nice talking to everyone.
Jim

Jim welcome to the forum. Beautiful work.

The trouble with doing nothing is knowing when you are done.
