2- When we see your designs, we have the impression that you like fine and not too showy jewelry? I like simple jewelry easy to wear in any occasion. I appreciate delicacy and simplicity, and on this base I conceive my designs.
3- Why privilege the black diamond on the transparent? I have no preference regarding the color of the diamonds, I launched the first collection based on fashion and current demand. I’m already planning another collection that will be very varied in stones and colors.
