                                           ‘‘In my opinion our passion for gemstones
                                          is the biggest advantage to our customers.
                                          This passion affects everything that we do,
                                             either in the design of a new collection,
                                                realising the special wishes of our
                                          customers or repairing pieces of jewellery.
                                              These noble gemstones have been my
                                             companions since childhood. I spent so
                                             much time working with them that they
                                                        captured my heart”

              Manager and Marketing

      “While my husband concentrates mainly on
purchasing gemstones and creating new collections,
 I‘m focussed on the marketing and administration.
Of course both of us love gemstones, but I think that
  I still have the advantage; I can wear our beautiful
           rings, earrings and neckwear myself”
