What do you love about diamonds, and what do you look for in a diamond?
I find the process – from taking the stone in its rough form to producing a shimmering, sparkling beauty – captivating.

Every bit of weight lost in this process is technically money lost, and that places a huge responsibility on the people involved in the process. The amount of care and attention required to plan and produce each stone according to its natural characteristics is immense.
