"I am passionate when it comes to appreciating rarity from around the earth. I believe that jewelry is the highest form of gifting, and self reward. Each gemstone and each individual should be carefully understood. And so should the style of jewelry they wear. This is such a fun and rewarding experience. I get to deal in and pursue rarity from around the world. And share it with others. The more I learn about gems the more I love them. The deeper I understand them the more I understand how slight and subtle differences can significantly impact value."
