Thinking back to my first experiences as a child, seeing my mother’s jewellery still brings me joy to this day. The wonderment of where the colourful stones came from, the mystery of who had artfully crafted the pieces. The prospect of being able to answer such questions for myself seemed like a wonderful adventure. Years later, I would see myself hand selecting stones and negotiating with dealers all around the world. The adventure I imagined as a child became the adventure of my life. Each stone has a character and story of its own and a jewellery designer’s goal must always be to accentuate the stone to express its natural beauty faithfully. My life’s work is selecting the highest quality stones and allowing them to shine bright by matching them with a unique design and craftsmanship. The final piece, in my mind, can then live to tell its story for generations. Timeless, elegant, beautiful.
