I’m a Swiss gemologist and art historian with a deep love for both fields—especially where they intersect. My passion lies in grand, unique, or vintage pieces, and I’m endlessly inspired by the elegance and symbolism found throughout jewelry history and European art. The darker and more theatrical, the better—as you can probably tell from the extremely dramatic, overly staged photo of me you’ll find here. Yes, I do take my carats and candlelight seriously.
Whether I’m examining gemstones under a microscope, wandering through museums, or staging jewelry photoshoots that look like stills from a gothic novella, I’m always chasing beauty and meaning in the details. This blog is where my love for gemology and art history takes shape—one gemstone, one story at a time.
When I’m not immersed in gems or galleries, you’ll likely find me curled up with a fantasy novel, experimenting in the kitchen, gaming, or hanging out with my very large (and very spoiled) puppy.
