Naomi Sarna, a jewelry artist and gem carver, has a rich collection of stones sourced from her travels to mines worldwide. Her art is infused with themes from nature, such as flowers and landscapes, depicted in flowing, organic designs.

Throughout her journey, she emphasizes the importance of physically interacting with gems to appreciate and unlock their potential, as seen in her whimsical yet precise jewelry crafted from a variety of precious materials.
