The Founder
About Laura
Since childhood, Laura has been captivated by the sparkle of her mother’s jewellery, but it was the gemstones themselves that truly fascinated her. This passion led her to study gemmology at the Gemological Institute of America (GIA) and earn a Bachelor’s degree in International Jewellery Business from Birmingham City University. Over the past seven years, Laura has explored the gemstone and jewellery industry, gaining deep insights and experiences, from visiting diamond bourses in Mumbai to exploring the mines of Sierra Leone. Her journey has fuelled a deep passion for gemstones, and now, Laura is excited to share that passion, helping others discover and appreciate the beauty of these incredible stones.
“A piece of jewellery that completes the missing piece of your story.”
