Meet The Designers

After living in Shanghai for a year while studying Mandarin at the University of Leeds, Emma was drawn back to Asia after graduation, this time to Hong Kong. Deciding to use her language skills coupled with her love of diamonds, Emma joined a small diamond buying firm where she learned firsthand everything about diamonds. Now fully exposed to the diamond industry, Emma decided to use her knowledge to start designing jewelry. Emma loves to guide customers through the design process, subtly imparting her skill and expertise, leading to beautiful, one-of-a-kind pieces.
