Favorite gemstone:That’s a difficult question. At the moment it’s opal. I’m totally mesmerised by all the colors. Favorite metal:18-carat yellow gold. Favorite tool:Hammer, there’s something about hammering. Maybe it’s the noise, or the power to manipulate metal, that I really enjoy. Best new tool discovery:I love our laser welder, there is nothing it cannot do! Best part of job:Being able to talk about jewelry all day. Worst part of job:Two things. Waking up in the middle of the night, thinking about a job. Constantly dropping small diamonds. They’re both pretty bad! Best tip from a jeweller:You never stop learning. Best tip to a jeweller:Never give up. Biggest health concern on the bench:My mental health, because I always feel inspired to make myself jewellery, but don’t have the time! Love jewelry because:Jewelery is a form of expression and can hold a lot of meaning. I love the history of jewelry too, a piece can tell many stories. |
