Expert Perspectives

“In 25+ years of working with gold, the single most common mistake I see is customers choosing 18K for daily-wear rings. The softness difference is measurable — 14K simply holds up better.”

— Arta Talachian, Master Goldsmith & Certified Gemologist

“Every IGI certificate I review, I check three things first: cut grade, laser inscription match, and whether post-growth treatment is disclosed. Those three tell you everything about the stone's integrity.”

— Arta Talachian, Master Goldsmith & Certified Gemologist

“A lab-grown diamond is chemically, physically, and optically identical to a mined diamond. The only difference is origin — and that difference now saves buyers 50–80% on comparable stones.”

— Arta Talachian, Certified Gemologist, DEEVE

A master goldsmith designs and fabricates jewelry by hand, working metal directly rather than assembling finished components.
