Gem Hunter
Paloma's never-ending hunt for one-of-a-kind, high-quality gemstones have taken her all over the world. In each country, Paloma personally visits each mine, searching for stones that capture the unique character and geological heritage of that part of the world: from the red sands of Madagascar to the green mountains of the Colombian Sierra, through the wet Sri Lankan jungle to the deserts in Arizona.
Gemologist
Every one has their own unique personality, just as each gemstone is a unique creation of nature. Paloma has been dedicated to the study of gemology, discovering the value of each gemstone through a scientific perspective. Stones are selected based on their purity, color saturation, and unique growth formation. Only authentic, one-of-a-kind and museum-quality stones are selected to be used in her jewelry.
Additionally, as a premium service for the brand's VIP clients, Paloma regularly hosts private gemology courses and high-end gemstone investment seminars, providing clients with selections of rare, top-quality gemstones and expert guidance to help them make well-informed decisions in gemstone and jewelry investments.
Design Artist
Paloma's jewelry innovatively juxtaposes world-class craftsmanship with the natural beauty of the stones. By infusing the raw and unadulterated beauty of each gem with her organic design, Paloma creates one-of-a-kind pieces that design jewelry based on the characteristics of each gemstone, either preserving the natural shape of the rough stone or transforming it into a final masterpiece through cutting, carving, polishing, setting, and embellishing.
