Do you like long necklaces? Very, very long necklace?  I do, very much, and this time I could have exaggerated. Someone may say I did, but I don’t think so. At the beginning of the last century this kind of ornament was very common, especially the one made with pearls.  Do you remember “The Great […]

Grandma’s Promised Ring

This time I would like to show you a piece of my family history. This stone was set on a ring my granny used to wear. I was fascinated by its dimensions, colour, and clearness. She always said it would be mine someday. Time has passed and I have forgotten this ring in a drawer. […]

Today I present you this ring with its earrings just perfect for this season. Summer is an explosion of colours, perfumes and tastes. Nature gives us the best of herself with juicy fruits. The sapphire with its cushion cat is a sip of a sweet peachy drink. But the gem that I would like to […]

Sometimes it isn’t the inspiration that guides you in the creation of a piece of jewellery. It isn’t a place, a style, or a culture.

When I was a kid I used to browse through my mom’s glossy fashion magazines. She used to buy a considerable amount of them and she used to keep the ones with articles about jewels or famous jewellers.  Everywhere you could find magazines like that and I, getting through those pages, was fascinated by the […]

Before we put an end to the enthusiasm and the celebrations made to welcome the new year; before the worrying of the difficulties and the uncertainty of these months coming take place in our minds, please let me show you a ring we created some time ago.

One, two and three; blue, yellow and pink. On the finger a tris of corundums… only joking… sapphires! What beautiful colours! To think of some candies it’s too easy, slurp!

Padparadscha is the name of the colour of a particular corindon like the zapphire and the ruby, but much more rare. Its peculiarity is the beautiful colour that goes from yellowish pink to the orange. The name comes from the sanskrit “padma raga” that means the colour of  the lotus flower.  The discussion between the […]
