How it Started
I began my gemmology and design business in 2008 in China, sourcing the best quality freshwater cultured pearls for my clients and organising educational pearl workshops. I studied gemmology at the Gemmological Association of Great Britain and became certified after writing the exams in London, England. My interests in gemstones started during my early childhood. I grew up in Switzerland where I spent a lot of time up in the mountains, not only hiking but also digging for rock crystals. The sparkle of the stones and the various colours hidden behind the rocks fascinated me, and still do to this day.
Lucid Jewelry
Under the brand Lucid.jewelry I am designing custom made jewellery in my workshop in Berne/Switzerland. I love to work with precious metals like silver and gold as well as sparkling gemstones and pearls. Please see some of my work on:
