SCOTTSDALE - Bernd Munsteiner, the renowned German gemstone cutter, is in Scottsdale this week showcasing his family's latest creations.
Munsteiner, who had been compared to the Antichrist because of his radical approach to stonecutting, more recently has been elevated to comparisons to Picasso.
"What they (the Munsteiner family) do is unlike what anyone does in the gem-cutting world," said French Thompson, owner of the French Designer Jewelry, 7148 E. Main St., which is hosting Munsteiner's visit today through Saturday.
