Thoughts on a Visit to A Sapphire Rush Near Ambatondrazaka, Madagascar

  • I love this #thistlering with #inverteddiamonds by @sothebys in their #bondstreet boutique. Thank you @faro93 for showing me your favourite pieces! #oneofakind #diamonds #luxuryfashion #londonjewellery #gemadventure
  • This astounding @sothebys #rosebud ring @faro93 felt like mine for a minute. Thank you for showing us these stunning pieces. #diamonds #gemstones #london #luxury #gemadventure #diamondsareagirlsbf #ring #oneofakind
  • Good bye Paris, what a beautiful day. Thanks #lotusgemology and Association Française de Gemmologie, it's been great!
  • Spot the skeleton of a miners hut on the valley side. The valley is called "maladialina" meaning "night falls quickly". In may there were perhaps 200 people mining in the valley but there had been many more. Im looking forward to talking about It more at #rendezvousgemmologiquedeparis #madagascar #sapphire #responsiblejewelrystories #gemadventure #gemstones #magagascangems
  • Miner takes a rest from digging at maladialana valley. Maladialina means "might falls quickly" and it does here because the valley sides are steep. He is hoping to find a sapphire #madagascar #responsiblejewelrystories #sapphire #gems #gemstone #jewellery
  • Large blue #sapphire from Bemainty area in Madagascar. I'll be talking about at the #rendezvousgemmologiquedeparis #paris on Monday.
