A lifelong passion for natural gemstones allowed me to join two of my most enjoyed aspects of my work. Bringing joy to others and working with rare gemstones. From humble beginnings in South Africa "working the beat" as a loose gemstone trader in my early twenties and studying gemmology through the Gemmological Institute of America in Bangkok and Johannesburg. I progressed on to buying and cutting rough gemstones in central and southern Africa to trading in remote mining reaches of Africa to the hustle and bustle of the electric gemstone trading centres of the world. I know offer a bespoke gemstone and diamond sourcing, jewellery design and manufacturing service in Harrogate North Yorkshire, UK.
