VinCent Gulino — Artist of Arizona Blue Opal
VinCent Gulino is an accomplished jewelry designer, sculptor, and metalsmith based in Tubac, Arizona. He studied for six years at the E. Darrel Smith Art School in New Jersey and has more than 40 years of experience working with sterling silver, gold, platinum, diamonds, and precious gemstones.
His involvement goes beyond jewelry design: he participates in the mining operation, personally selects and cuts stones, and incorporates them into handcrafted sterling silver and gold jewelry.
His designs often emphasize the stone's natural patterns rather than cutting it into conventional gemstone shapes.
