A Digital Alchemist is someone who combines technology with tradition to create better design. We are at a juncture in history where technology has advanced so quickly that we barely understand how to use it properly. People are quick to abandon traditional techniques that were used to design and create mankind’s most beautiful jewelry. Tough economic times have forced business owners to redefine themselves and leaders in the industry are telling them that technology has the answers. These leaders would say there is a revolution in the industry going on; and if you’re not part of it; you will be left behind. A Digital Alchemist would say that it is an evolution going on, and that the future of the industry depends on not forgetting the past.

A Design Suitable for a King's Mistress.

The Marquise or Navette cut stone is believed to have been commissioned by Louis the XIV of France (The Sun King) because he wanted a stone that was shaped like the mouth of his mistress the Marquise de Pompadour. I have featured it here with a sapphire in a crown influenced design in honor of it's creator.
