Jay grew up in the remote Blue Mountains of East Central Oregon. As a child, he loved to play with stones and would study them. Later, his parents started a gem faceting business, cutting precious gemstones. By his late teens, Jay had become a Master Gem Facetor. He found that if he would study a gemstone carefully and "listen" to the stone, he would communicate with him, and together they would come up with a design that ended up becoming an incredible work of art.
