The quest for stones at the service of creativity.
Finding stones, checking their quality, and ensuring their suitability for a specific design are the missions of the expert gemologist.
Diamonds are chosen from amongst the purest. The perfect cut should showcase the brilliance of the stone.
For colored stones, gemologists focus above all on the “character” and the emotion they arouse. They also examine their characteristics.
The quest for remarkable stones requires expertise, patience, tenacity, and of course, a stroke of luck!
