WHAT IS A MASTER JEWELER?
One of the highest certifications is to be a JA Certified Master Bench Jeweler – a Master Jeweler. This certification requires four levels of testing which includes a Master Jeweler exam that requires the candidate to create three highly-complex jewelry pieces. These take 40 hours to complete and accompany an extensive written text demonstrating gem treatments, safety issues, and technical knowledge.
CONFLICT FREE
DIAMONDS
Business and ethics are not separate. This is why we are committed to sourcing Conflict Free diamonds. Putting people before profits IS good business.
High-quality diamonds should not come at great social and environmental cost. We are also committed to the adoption of Fair Trade, helping the workers and their families create a better life for themselves. We source diamonds from mines that adhere to strict labor, trade, and environmental standards.
THE TALENT WHO BRINGS OUR BRAND TO LIFE.
Master Jewelers are made up of people who are “masters” in their own right. It is because of them, we have been able to serve our clients with passion and artistry.
