Glenn Wargo

Glenn’s passion for gems and jewelry started in grammar school when a family friend gave him a collection of rocks from around the world. He pursued his love of things gemological in his youth by working as a bench jeweler apprentice and earning a Bachelor of Arts in jewelry design from Montclair State University. Glenn went on to work in sales for Fortunoff and Tiffany & Co, and received his GG from GIA in 1995. On teaching at GIA: “It allows me to give back to students what I’ve learned about designing, selling and studying. I enjoy teaching and watching students grow and develop their skills.”
