YOUR JEWEL BUYING GUIDE
Step 1: Observation
What do you want out of your jewel? An everyday fine jewelry piece? Something sensational to wear to special occasions? A luxury piece that will take you from work to evening drinks? A lifelong showstopper of an engagement ring? Beautiful earrings to bring out your hazel eyes?
And if you love an even more off-road experience, maybe you'd like to create your own custom (engagement) ring tailored specifically around your wishes?
Now we know the purpose, lets have some fun... 👀
Step 2: Inspiration
Collect a few (more if you like) sources of inspiration. The emerald green of your favorite silk dress, a holiday snap of vibrant tropical flowers or some examples of your favorite celebrities' style moments 💃🏻
From here, your imagination can be unleashed... Precious gemstone colors, shapes, sizes and settings - all can play a part in realizing your vision!
Pass by for a chat and a cup of tea, I love to meet the person we're creating a ring for... if that isn't possible or if it's a surprise piece for a spouse, I have gotten pretty good at guessing a person's style by looking at photos.
Step 3: Investment
Your jewel should be a solid investment - firstly of your time to make a sage decision! And from there an investment into...
✨ Rare and precious gemstones that hold value;
✨ Quality craftsmanship that will last generations;
✨ A precious piece with soul perfectly designed around your wishes to give you a buzz of excitement each time you wear it!
