About

As a gemmologist, fine jewellery manufacturer, and certified horologist, I help clients bring their jewellery visions to life with precision, integrity, and world-class craftsmanship. With over 20 years in the industry—including extensive UK-based training and 8 + years working at the heart of the global gemstone trade in Thailand—I offer bespoke jewellery creation, gemstone sourcing, and horological services tailored to discerning buyers, collectors, and retailers. My business is built around quality, trust, and transparency. From concept to completion, I work closely with clients to deliver exceptional gemstones and made-to-order pieces that combine technical mastery with creative flair. Whether it's sourcing rare stones or manufacturing fine jewellery to order, my goal is to provide solutions that exceed expectations and create lasting value. I hold a BSc (Hons) in Gemmology and jewellery and HND Horology from the School of Jewellery in the UK, am a certified member of the Gemmological Association of Great Britain (Gem-A), and am professionally trained by the British Horological Institute (BHI). Every project I take on is guided by the principle: “Strive not to be a success, but rather to be of value.”
