Originally from San Diego, California, Kary Adam lived in the “Gem Capital of the World” - Bangkok, Thailand, sourcing local gem stones and working with local Metal Smiths on his designs from 2001 until August 2015. He now lives and works from Seattle Washington and make frequent trips to Thailand where he continues to source stones and execute most of his custom jewelry work. His relationship with Gems and Jewelry started in 1997 when he took a trip to Asia and stopped in Bangkok for 2 weeks. While he was there, he bought a 23kt Thai gold necklace, something he had wanted since he was 14 years old and seen at a gem show in San Diego. On his first day back to work from that Asia trip, seven co-workers asked him to sell them his gold necklace. This gave him the idea that he should supply them with what they had asked for. Three months later he was back in Bangkok and bought more Thai Gold Jewelry and several loose Sapphires. This led to several years of traveling back and forth, buying and learning about gemstones and gold, designing and having jewelry made, and selling the jewelry he had made in Bangkok back in the USA and the UK. In July of 2001, he moved to Bangkok to study Gemology graduating with a degree in Gemology from the Asian Institute of Gemological Science. He also taught gemology classes for 2 years before focusing only on design and production. He continues his passion for designing Unique Beautiful Custom Jewelry and he has been doing this ever since.
