How It All Started
At BespokGems, we're not only experts in
our field, but mostly passionate about gemstones. This ring symbolizes the patience and the
emotion that we bring into our personal work. It was crafted for personal use only, so we
had to make it really unique. In 2018, one of our gemmologists fell in love with a bunch of
garnets in Hong Kong during a garnet parcel selection. She was studying gem cutting at the
time and figured it would be interesting to pick a very particular rough stone and see it
end up in a stunning piece of jewellery.

THE QUESTION
What Happened Next?
After carefully choosing the rough, she
went back to Russia, where she began to practice faceting. The stone itself was very costly,
so our gemmologist decided to take some extra care of it. There were some inclusions in the
stone, so the cutting process was much more complicated. The greatest challenge was to carry
out the color and the best possible #reflection and prevent cracks during the cutting
process.
The finished stone was then attached to a
stunning custom ring made by @ichien.jewellery. The jeweler was thrilled by the gemstone
story and wanted to create a ring that would also symbolize the spirit around the whole
project. The result is truly rewarding, and our gemmologist is very happy that she has taken
the initiative to create something unique.

With over ten years of marketing
experience, I finally decided to settle down in Bangkok to work in an area that I have
always been interested in: the gemstones industry. I'm still learning how the market works
on a daily basis, and I enjoy sharing my experience with those who are interested in
learning more about gems in general.
