We are thrilled to announce the evolution of the FoundRae collection: a Collector’s Series comprising exclusively of one-of-a-kind pieces. For this collection, IX MMXXIV (September 2024), I was inspired by the The golden hour, the period of daytime shortly before sunset, is also called the “magic hour” because in these colors of the setting sky there is a stillness & beauty that allows us to connect with the magic that resides in each of us. We chose the most beautiful variations of lilac sapphire, peach morganite, and pink tourmaline gemstones to reflect the colors of the setting sun to remind us of this internal magic.

Since we launched our new one-of-a-kind gemstone collector’s series this spring, we have been quietly collecting new stones for the launch of Golden Hour. We have continued our love affair with cushion-cut rectangular shapes and have seen every variation thereof. As I mentioned before, sourcing gemstones is like a treasure hunt. When a high-quality “rough” is unearthed, expert gemstone cutters asses each rough and determine the shape and cut that will maximize the size, color, quality, and market value of the finished gem. We work with only the finest, most trusted suppliers, and we begin the selection process by giving them a range of sizes, cuts, color hues, and quality standards that we are searching for. We then begin the dance of meeting with potential partners, viewing their inventories, and finally landing on our final selection. Each gemstone in our Collector’s Series comes with a certificate of authenticity stating its origin and ratings.
