Robert Turner’s fascination with gemstones began at a young age, when he began collecting mica and quartz and other sparkly rocks. In 2000, Robert, the founder of Jamie Turner Designs, progressed to procuring finer, gem quality stones. In 2017, having amassed a cache of gemstones and diamonds, he began putting these gems into jewelry designs. In the beginning, he simply wanted to make jewelry for his daughter, Jamie, his future brand’s namesake.
