About the Cover
This issue profiles Chi Huynh, the creative force behind Galatea: Jewelry by Artist. The ring on the cover combines two of Huynh’s innovations, the Galatea Pearl and the Diamond in a Pearl. Galatea Pearls are gem bead cultured pearls carved to reveal the beauty of the gem inside. This yellow gold “Sutol Ring” features a 0.08 ct diamond set inside a 10.5 mm Galatea Pearl cultured with a synthetic turquoise bead. Courtesy of Chi Huynh.
