“The value of jewellery for today’s connoisseur goes far beyond the provenance of gemstones. It’s about design, craft and wearability. As heritage crafts get rarer and as they become more endangered, their legacy will become more valuable than the most precious of gemstones. These are the heirlooms that will find their pride of place in museums tomorrow.”
