Every piece of jewellery we design tells a story. Our Family Birthstone Collection is my favourite for great stories. Some are delightful and lighthearted like the exhausted grandmother who loves to bake for 10 grandchildren and 8 great-grand children! 18 birthstone on one piece of jewellery was a serious challenge for us! She definitely deserved a gorgeous piece of jewellery for keeping up with all the baking! Then others just catch you in the throat. I met with a lady to design a family birthstone ring – four kids in tow – but she had asked me to prepare five birthstones. I asked if the 5th one was her birthstone. She got a little tearful and told me it was for the baby she lost. There are so many family stories to tell!
