Diamonds • Certification
How to read a GIA certificate
A grading report is a technical document, not a sales aid. Line by line, what each field on a GIA report means, which ones move the price, and the two things the report will never tell you.
Emerald • Sourcing
Emeralds: Zambian versus Colombian, and why Jaipur cuts both
Two deposits, two colours, two prices, and a persistent belief that one is simply better than the other. What actually separates them, and why the cutting happens here.
Bespoke • Atelier
What happens in the ten weeks it takes to make a piece
A bespoke piece is mostly not making. It is deciding — about a stone, a proportion, a setting height — and then a great deal of quiet, sequential work by people who never meet the client.
Meenakari • Craft
Meenakari — the enamel tradition Jaipur nearly lost
A red that only a handful of families could ever fire, applied to the back of a piece where nobody but the wearer would see it. How Jaipur enamelling works, and how close it came to ending.
