Steven Milonas
Summing up my career in a couple of paragraphs is not always easy but there are the highlights which seem to stand out in ones mind.
Just recently I completed my certificate in gemmology; a task I had been wanting to undertake for a long time and, having been in the jewellery industry twelve years it was time I concreted my passion for gems and jewellery.
