OUR BRAND
We specialize in crafting exclusive engagement rings and limited fine jewelry collections, utilizing primarily precious stones sourced during field expeditions.

Our showroom in Lausanne, Switzerland, welcomes clients by appointment exclusively for custom projects.
THE ATELIERS
Our designs are crafted by local Swiss artisans, each specialized in their craft. Every piece is unique and handcrafted.
The jewelry atelier is located in the center of Lausanne, just minutes from our showroom. Since day one, this is where our creations come to life.
The foundry, based in Geneva, is accredited by the Responsible Jewellery Council.
Our setting atelier, also accredited by the Responsible Jewellery Council, specializes in high jewelry settings and is located in Plan-les-Ouates, Geneva.
The hand engraver is based in Geneva.
Necklace and bracelet chains are crafted in Italy and France by specialized ateliers.
SOURCING
Our field expeditions allow us to establish direct partnerships with artisanal small-scale miners and their communities, delivering their unique gems straight to the jewelry market.
Each piece reflects our commitment to fair sourcing and sustainable community support.
By working directly with miners in Madagascar, Sierra Leone, Tanzania, Sri Lanka and Thailand, we eliminate the middleman, creating a more transparent and ethical supply chain.
OUR mission
We aim for our creations to not only be beautiful but also to retain value and appreciate over time, making them a sound investment. The exceptional quality of our precious stones and their stories are what set us apart.

THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE
"I cultivate a profound passion for precious stones and travel.
This love goes beyond exploration; building meaningful connections with small-scale miners and their communities gives my life drive and a deeper personal meaning.
Whether through my collections or bespoke pieces, gemstones are the center of my creations, and of my life in general.
