Nicolette didn’t own much jewelry yet. A diamond ring, pearl earrings, a nice watch. When she heard me talk about picking emeralds for jewelry for a client, she suddenly knew: I want this, too.

I brought some oval emeralds to her, hoping that we could fine a good one within her budget. It was a summer afternoon, we assessed the gemstone outside in the garden. She was kind of eyeing a dark green one, but there was this lighter colored emerald that sparkled the most. Her husband and her sister took one glance and both said: that one, you know it.

So that did it, we chose the lighter colored, crazy sparkling emerald. I found a matching pair of round emeralds for the earrings with no problem. She wanted a classic ring, the goldsmith made his drawing which was immediately approved of. I requested a 100% hand made ring and so it happened. The whole process was smooth, the end result is so unique and personal!
