Favorite jewelry era: Art Deco for its geometry

Most cherished personal piece of jewelry/horology: A small Victorian diamond target brooch given to me by my great aunt unceremoniously tucked inside a supermarket paper bag that she kept in a cabinet by her chair.

If money were no object, which iconic jewel/watch would you like to own: A vintage diamond-set Cartier Crash watch.

The Cartiers

Best book to learn about jewelry: The Cartiers by Francesca Cartier Brickell. A history of not just one of the most famous families in jewellery, but also about the evolution of jewellery design, gem buying and brand building.

Expert’s tip to a jewelry collection beginner: Buy what you love but do the research first.
