Frank Rubio's profound designs meet no end. After apprenticing under the guidance and discipline of Hans Van Doin and Hendrick Veerhagen, master goldsmiths from Holland, Frank enrolled himself at the Gemological Institute of America to further his education. His natural aptitude in jewelry design advanced him from student to instructor with just a week, whereafter he taught others and polished his
own skills for the next 2 years. It was with this skill and passion that Frank found himself designing for the Royal Family of Belgium, the elite of Mexico, Hollywood's rich and famous, and exclusive galleries worldwide. Some of this work was featured in the "Objets d' Arte", a collection of rare pieces presented by the design studio of J. Some of the pieces included in this exhibition were Faberge-inspired eggs containing intricate full-working carousals placed on antique music boxes, historic military-styled chess sets, and Spanish shipwrecked treasures- all utilizing gold, silver, fine gemstones, and the most precious of diamonds. After receiving such an amazing gift of talent and opportunity, Frank then decided it was time to give back. In 2006, he headed to Mexico City as a volunteer and missionary to attend Bible College. During the founding of his own Rubio Ministries outreach, Frank served in small churches and orphanages while furthering his research and education in jewelry. After four years, Frank is returning to the United States to wow us with more designs and to spread the message of giving back to our communities by supporting the charities that have inspired him. His designs can be found at www.frankrubiojewelry.com and in exclusive boutiques around the world.
