s a traditional artist in her early 20's, Terry's culinary hobby provided an outlet for her
artistic talent. She created exceptional confectionary masterpieces. If she wasn't creating
exquisitely decorated wedding cakes for friends and family, she was sculpting whimsical,
mouthwatering candies or making meticulously detailed sugar Easter eggs with 3-D panoramas
inside. One of these Easter eggs, a gift to a family friend, is responsible for launching her
jewelry career. The friend was a jeweler who encouraged Terry to produce her designs
in gold. Her mentor set up a full complement of jeweler's tools for Terry and
arranged for her to be the first and only student tutored by noted Russian Jeweler,
Constance Osmanski. Terry made many trips back and forth to Europe for the
next 12 years, studying and perfecting her craft in London's famed diamond
quarter, Hatton Garden.
Terry's passion remains custom jewelry. Her exquisite designs range
from the extraordinarily graceful to the wonderfully whimsical.
That's not all, Terry's philanthropy is legendary. She has designed
and donated handcrafted jewelry like the 18K Spider Mum with 7
layers of French enamel and 250 diamonds as a raffle prize for Martin
Memorial's Chrysanthemum Ball. It raised $25,000 and there are many
like this special piece that she is responsible for. She donates
to 97 local charities.
Then there is the Diamond Tea Room & Bistro located right next
door to her shop. Now, you too, can enjoy Terry's homemade delights
in the only " Authentic English Tea Room " on the Treasure Coast
where you can have lunch or high tea. It is a place of conviviality and
joy. Sip one of the many varieties of tea that is offered or a glass of
wine or sangria. Try her soups, salads or one of the specials she offers
everyday. When you ask Terry why does she cook too, she answers
" I am Italian " .
So what makes Diamonds by Terry different from other jewelery stores,
the answer is Terry. It is her exceptional craftsmanship, her education, the time
she puts in to create a special design piece, her artistry and her warm personality.
Visit Terry, spend time to find your special piece and view the thousands of
pieces on display, have lunch and get to know this very special person.
