Hi,  I'm David V. Horste, a lapidary artist living in Portland, Oregon. I started making jewelry when I was 8 years old, began cutting and polishing stones when I was 10, and learned basic silversmithing when I was 12. I have been doing lapidary work full time since 1992.

Follow me on Facebook at DVHdesigns Custom Cut Beads to see what I'm up to in the studio! You can contact me directly at dvhdesigns@gmail.com.
