Our Local Treasure Awardees

Myra Gadson is passionate about creating unique, extraordinary jewelry, and has been doing so professionally for over 15 years. 

 

As a graduate of The University of New Mexico, Myra worked in the Engineering field with various roles in both manufacturing and product development.  In 2012, Myra hung up her technical hat and accepted a position as Design Manager at a local jewelry design and manufacturing company.   

 

In 2015, Myra retired and began focusing her energy on designing her own line of jewelry.  Myra has lived in New Mexico for most of her adult life and therefore, her jewelry designs are strongly influenced by multicultural diversity, ancient traditions, and modern originality common to New Mexico.  These elements bring together a unique blend of gemstones that offer an earthy yet refined harmony while capturing and celebrating the colors of the southwest.
