Bryan D. Drummond, an artist based in Las Vegas, specializes in intricately carving gemstones such as blue topaz, citrine, and tourmaline with patterns inspired by fractals, grids, religious symbols, and ancient architecture. Using custom equipment, including a modified 16th-century woodworking machine, he engraves natural motifs and geometric designs that enhance the stones’ depth and shine.

Drummond carefully selects motifs based on the gem’s surface area and color, adding layers of shadow to make the jewels even more captivating. Currently, he is focused on carving amethyst and sunstone from California and Oregon, respectively, both of which he personally mined.
