FAVOURITE GEMSTONE: The durability and resilience of naturally formed diamonds, coupled with their exquisite beauty, make them my favourite. FAVOURITE METAL: I find white gold appealing due to its versatility. It complements various skin tones and can be paired with different precious gemstones. FAVOURITE TOOL: High-quality loupe. BEST NEW TOOL DISCOVERY: The laser welder. BEST PART OF THE JOB: Connecting with customers and helping them find the perfect piece of jewellery for their special moments. The happiness and satisfaction on their faces are truly rewarding. WORST PART OF THE JOB: Having to handle delicate and sentimental situations when customers need repairs or adjustments after an unfortunate incident. BEST TIP FROM A JEWELLER: Always double-check and triple-check measurements and specifications before finalising a custom order. Precision is crucial! BEST TIP TO A JEWELLER: I'd recommend embracing collaboration. Connecting with other professionals from different fields can bring diverse perspectives and ideas to your work. BIGGEST HEALTH CONCERN ON THE BENCH: My biggest concern is maintaining a good posture, as we can sit on the chair for hours designing a piece. Remember to sit up straight, take breaks to rest your eyes, and avoid stressing your wrists. LOVE JEWELLERY BECAUSE: Being a part of someone's journey to find that special piece and witnessing the sentimental value it holds for them is what makes it so fulfilling. |
