Tim D
Casting Technician
Gold & Platinumsmith
My start in jewelry began many years ago when I tried making chainmail. I taught myself different weaves and progressed from cheap fence wire to stainless steel, aluminum, and eventually silver. After relocating to San Diego from my native New Jersey, I earned my Graduate Jeweler degree from the Gemological Institute of America.
I received formal training in finishing and setting, but I originally joined Green Lake with a focus on casting. Over my years here, my job duties have evolved as I continue to hone and perfect my craft. My well-rounded knowledge and skilled artistry have become a valuable asset to the team—both on the jeweler’s bench and in the casting room.
