It’s really the perfect gift, it’s traditional, it’s expensive looking but not so costly that she feels guilty, and she can wear it anywhere. Young people can give one of these pearl necklaces to their mom, and she can get dressed up and go out on the town. A customized pearl necklace is one of the [...]

There is a charm to the older stones (stones that were cut, like, over 100 years ago). Art Deco and Edwardian rings are the most popular styles among consumers who love antique and estate jewelry. Diamonds were cut for the degree of indoor light that existed at that time. So an old mine, old European, old cushion [...]

I replaced the pink diamonds for sapphires for this client so we could stay under the budget. I purposely hand picked these baby pink color pink sapphires one by one so they have a more soft and “diamond” look to them. Although these are not pink diamonds but they look just as gorgeous and she [...]

Finally the Olympic is over and Whistler is open to the public again. I went to Asia so I didn’t see much of Olympics but I still managed to wonder around a bit before I left town to enjoy the Olympic atmosphere. Ya ya I know it’s very Asian of me to do what I [...]

Finally, I never should have bought anything else other than this. I thought it’s a little too expensive so I bought a proable one from somewhere else. After struggling for 3 months with this proable one, after wanting to throw it out the window from time to time, I finally bought the GIA polariscope. Yes it’s like $400 USD but [...]

The natural color of the diamond is created under extreme conditions and deserves a special setting. I’ve talked about how rare pink diamonds are over and over and made a few pieces for clients myself. I am happy to see it’s getting more and more popular! I came across this new collection the other day [...]
