Creating a Vivid Moment piece begins with a careful selection of stones, which for me is not just a process, but a real emotional journey. I spend a lot of time in Namibia, a country where I lived and worked for 28 years. It is here that I find unique minerals that become the basis of my collections. My connections with local businessmen who legally mine rare stones allow me to be aware of the latest finds.

Every month I meet with the project manager, who shows me both raw and cut colored stones. This is not just a choice, but a whole ritual: I carefully examine every detail to choose 3-5-10 stones that will delight me with their beauty. The most important criteria for me are naturalness, color peculiarity, purity and quality of cutting.

This path is full of surprises and discoveries, and this is what makes each piece unique. I believe that only by putting your soul into the selection process can you create something truly magnificent that will delight people and convey emotions for many years to come."
