Gemstones were part of my world from the beginning. I grew up in a family of diamond experts, listening to my father speak about stones, their structure, their character, the way light moves through them. Early on, I learned the difference between something ordinary and something truly exceptional.

What stayed with me was not only the stones themselves, but the intention behind how they were chosen. Nothing was random. Every detail carried thought. The pieces he gave me became the ones I never took off, not simply because they were beautiful, but because they meant something. They carried presence.

Later, while working for a haute couture house, I became fascinated by what it truly means to make something exceptionally well. The craftsmanship behind each piece. The time devoted to details most people would never notice.

Those experiences shaped my desire to create pieces meant to be lived in, built around gemstones, made to last, and deeply connected to the person wearing them. I then went back to school to study gemmology and jewelry design, refining the technical side of the work.
