• [1:59] Sarah explains what being a GI Graduate Gemologist means: “which means that I went to school for approximately two years to study, diamond grading, gemstone identification gemstone grading, in a way that's very scientific. So if you bring me a ring, I can tell you exactly the type of gemstone and whether it was lab created, possibly even where it came from.”
• [3:32] “I think the fun is in the imperfection and that there's no right diamond for everyone.”
• [8:59] “We can design within a budget, or we can design for a look. And there are a lot of times where both of those things can coexist in the same space.”
