My Bench: Matthys Solomon

SIGNATURE PIECE:

(NINA’S SOVEREIGN)
 

This was hard — like asking which child you like more — however, Nina’s medieval feel to it. The middle ring can be worn solo and simple or combined Sovereign is close to my heart. It has a with its jacket to make a statement.

FAVOURITE GEMSTONE: Diamonds.

FAVOURITE METAL: Any metal - just bring it on!

FAVOURITE TOOL: Graver smith.

BEST NEW TOOL DISCOVERY: The laser star is a game-changer.

BEST PART OF THE JOB: Setting the final stone and seeing the piece as a whole.

WORST PART OF THE JOB: Repairing a ring that was not well-made.

BEST TIP FROM A JEWELLER: You are never too old to learn something new.

BEST TIP TO A JEWELLER: There are many ways to make a jewellery piece. Try new ways and techniques.

BIGGEST HEALTH CONCERN ON THE BENCH: Vision is getting worse!

LOVE JEWELLERY BECAUSE: It makes me a precious metal engineer.
