Favorite jewelry era: Victorian jewelry, for its romantic aesthetic and secret symbolism intricately incorporated into pieces that serve not only a decorative purpose but also to cleverly communicate personal messages and details about the wearer.

Most cherished personal piece of jewelry/horology: My 18-karat yellow gold “חי” pendant (meaning “life” in Hebrew) gifted to me by my amazing grandmother on my 18th birthday. This piece seems to always find its way into my everyday outfits.

If money were no object, which iconic jewel/watch would you like to own: The Queen Mary Diamond Bandeau Wedding Tiara!

Best book to learn about jewelry: Diamonds: Diamond Stories – A beautiful collection of images and stories by Only Natural Diamonds and Assouline that eloquently explain the role that diamonds have played in our society throughout history.

Expert’s tip to a jewelry collection beginner: First, buy pieces that fit seamlessly into your every day. Ones that you can enjoy and wear easily that are true to you and make you feel beautiful.
