Fine jewellery & gemstones
Our jewellery practice is led by Director David Lau, a Graduate Gemologist of the Gemological Institute of America (GIA). We help you choose, commission and truly understand exceptional stones — explained plainly, and never rushed.
Two stones can share a certificate and still look nothing alike. We help you see the difference.
A grading report is the beginning of the conversation, not the end. At our boutique we look at stones together under proper light, compare them side by side, and talk through what matters for the piece you have in mind.
The four Cs, in plain words
The GIA’s language for describing diamonds — and how we use it to find a stone that is right for you, not just right on paper.
Light & life
How well a diamond’s proportions and finish return light. The C that most shapes its brilliance.
From D to Z
The absence of colour in white diamonds — and, in coloured stones, the hue, tone and saturation.
Nature’s fingerprint
The size, number and position of inclusions. Many are invisible to the eye; some give a stone its character.
Weight, not size
How much a stone weighs. Cut and shape decide how large it actually looks on the hand.
What we can do for you
Bespoke jewellery
From a first sketch, or a stone you already own, to a finished piece — we guide the design, the setting and the craftsmanship at every step.
Diamonds & engagement rings
Diamonds selected against independent grading reports, compared side by side and explained in plain language before you decide.
Coloured gemstones
Sapphires, rubies, emeralds and rarer stones, chosen for colour, life and character — with guidance on origin and treatments.
Redesigning heirlooms
Give a family piece a new life while keeping what makes it precious: we advise on what to keep, reset or reimagine.
