My love of Gems - Where it all began.


I have always been in love with jewellery. I remember, as a child, going through all my Mum's beautiful jewellery that she has collected from around the world. My favorite scene in my favorite film, Gigi, is when she is having lessons from her Aunt on jewellery and gemstones. This was the first time I learned about the Marquise cut Diamond.

 
I have always loved traveling and finding the markets and the jewellery that is sold at them. But my real realisation came when I lived in Australia and worked with gemstone jewellery in a boutique, this is where I really gained my love of gems and gemstone jewellery! My time in India, around the beautiful Indian designs and gems, sold in high end shops and in little markets and on the side of the road, sealed the deal.
