Gemstone Discovery Trilogy
At PICS Fine Jewellery, we believe that true beauty starts with understanding.
The Gemstone Discovery Trilogy is a signature educational journey, launched in 2024, designed to reveal the hidden stories, values, and natural wonder of the different types of gemstones. Each session goes beyond trade norms to uncover what truly matters - so you can see these gems, and yourself, in a new light.
Hosted in an intimate one-on-one format at our studio, these sessions offered a rare opportunity for guests to closely examine and appreciate the nuances of these legendary gemstones. Participants explored how subtle differences in colour, clarity, features, origin, and treatment can dramatically influence a gem’s beauty, quality, and value.
Whether you are a collector, gem enthusiast, or simply curious, this trilogy invites you to experience gemstones with clarity, depth, and meaning.
