THE IDEA AND INSPIRATION It all begins with the inspiration of an idea… The idea is then carried to the drawing board and gently grafted on paper… emerging as a jewel designed to actual size and dimensions. Most times, the core of the jewel is defined by a single stone, and this is also the first to be handpicked. From then on, depending on the intricacy and complexity of the design, all other stones embellishing the jewel are then picked, one-by-one.
