It doesn’t look like much, but this changed my life.
The first gem I ever faceted. It cost me time, talent, and treasure to travel and learn to cut it.
It introduced me to my mentor, the youngest pupil of one of the 20th century’s best cutters. Came out of retirement to train me when all other students abandoned the craft. I was the last one taught and the one who inherited the equipment.
I hope one day my daughter understands what’s in her ring. It’s the start of everything we have and do.
