David Gruber began life in Reading, Pa. and served in the Navy as a Cryptologic Technician with the Naval Security Group during the early 1970’s. He has always been interested in art and studied Gemology at the Gemological Institute of America where he received the coveted "Graduate Gemologist" degree. He is an avid rock hound, lapidary, and a talented Goldsmith and Platinumsmith. He combined those skills into a career in the Jewelry and Engraving industry, which spans more than 27 years. He began Hand Engraving after taking an advanced stonesetting course where he was introduced to pneumatic engraving equipment and he has been engraving nearly every day since that time. He currently resides in Orlando, Florida where he operates a successful Jewelry and Hand Engraving business.
