Scott has fostered his keen interest in gemstones since youth through studying, training and working. He started studying jewellery leading to his employment as a junior lapidarist under the guidance of Murray Thompson Lapidary and eventually, established his own business where he’s developed his own style of cutting, which has made him the master gem cutter he is today.
