The Gem Art Center is known for:

                -  One-of-a-kind Gem Sculptures and Jewelry Art created by artist Helen Serras-Herman .
                -  Unique carved gemstones in Black Australian Opal and drusy materials.
                

Helen’s award winning, bold contemporary work
 on hard gemstones has been featured in
 many trade magazines and books. 
Over 20 years of experience in Sculptured Gems, 
a Masters degree in Sculpture (MFA), a degree in Gemology (FGA), 
and studies in drawing and painting, are reflected in her unique work.

 Her distinctive work on gemstones includes 
Carved Gems, Jewelry Art and freestanding Gem Sculptures. 
Some of her recent artwork, the “Wearable Sculptures”, 
explores the connection and transition between 
the worlds of Fine Art and Wearable Art.

Her favorite subjects are Mythological Creatures and Portraits. 
All of her creations are one-of-a-kind, signed and 
sold with a Certificate of Authenticity. 
A number of her works have been direct commissions
from private clients. 
All of Helen's Jewelry Art is set in 18K or 14K gold, 
or Sterling Silver, with a palette of gemstones, 
such as fancy color sapphires & garnets,
tanzanite, diamonds, red spinels, opals and tourmalines.
