How much jewelry do you own?
Never enough, but plenty for now!

What is your most cherished piece of jewelry?
Two pieces, one is a pendant that was made for me by David Michael, talented twin jewelers based in Australia. They painted my son’s eye onto a piece of mother-of-pearl, then set it behind an antique watch crystal, and added a beautiful diamond halo in darkened gold. My other cherished piece is a pair of sapphire hoops set in gold and copper, by Hemmerle.
Favorite jewelry designers: Hemmerle, Viren Bhagat, Fernando Jorge, Verdura, JAR, Taffin, SABBA, vintage Van Cleef & Arpels, Cartier, Bulgari, and Suzanne Belperron.
What is the first piece of jewelry you ever owned?
A sapphire and diamond ring my mom had made for me, and an identical one for my sister, which she gave to us on our 16th birthday. Unfortunately, mine was accidentally dropped in a lake by a clumsy friend. My sister still has her’s though.
What is your motto or philosophy when it comes to jewelry?
If you don’t love it immediately, don’t buy it. Stay away from trends. Quality is key, even if it’s a touch more expensive.
