The Big Book of Trends

It takes mastery to cut a diamond, mastery to make a perfect cut, mastery to work gold, platinum and other precious metals.

Just as in Haute Couture, which only has a little over two thousand qualified seamstresses worldwide to make its name, in jewellery the savoir-faire of its select and specialised artisans, as much as the raw material, distinguishes a piece from the rest. A distinction that doesn't just justify its monetary price: family heirlooms, these jewels and even watches are not just an accessory, they are a treasure chest of memories and stories that are passed down from generation to generation, like a time capsule filled with precious stones. Their value? Incalculable.
