FAVOURITE GEMSTONE: This is difficult! Any colour-changing or bi-colour gemstone is fascinating. I also love vibrant parti sapphires and champagne salt and pepper diamonds. FAVOURITE METAL: 18-carat yellow gold. FAVOURITE TOOL: Polishing machine – I find it so therapeutic. BEST NEW TOOL DISCOVERY: Dedeco radial disks. BEST PART OF THE JOB: Finding the dream gemstone for a customer and making their dream design come to life. WORST PART OF THE JOB: A sore back when you’re not mindful of your posture while working. BEST TIP FROM A JEWELLER: Be yourself, stay true to yourself, and do business your way! BEST TIP TO A JEWELLER: Don’t worry about what anyone else is doing. BIGGEST HEALTH CONCERN ON THE BENCH: Breathing in toxic particles long term. LOVE JEWELLERY BECAUSE: The rich history of jewellery dating back to ancient times. I also love being able to create tangible things that represent and celebrate such important milestones and connections in people's lives. |
