Sylvie’s Story Within our brand’s heritage lies a journey from humble beginnings and an international love story. In 1986, Ian Levine left behind a life in South Africa to immigrate to the United States in search of the American Dream. An ambitious individual and visionary thinker, he ventured to the United States to perfect his craft, seeking to carve his niche in the world of diamonds and jewelry. With a deep passion for diamonds and a keen eye for detail, he embarked on his journey to establish Spectrum Diamonds, a jewelry manufacturer and diamond merchant, establishing his foothold in the American jewelry industry. Ian met Sylvie in 1992 while traveling on business overseas. Sylvie was living in her hometown of Antwerp, Belgium at the time, establishing her career at the center of the worlds diamond trade. Ian and Sylvie married two years later, and together, began to build a life together in America – pursuing their passions together. Sylvie always dreamed of a brand that would not only make fine jewelry—it would resonate with people’s emotions and tell a story of youthful femininity in a vastly male-dominated designer bridal jewelry segment. The Sylvie brand was born in 2007 as a confluence of her refined taste and artistic flair, a creation that mirrored her passion for creating timeless pieces of jewelry that women could cherish for a lifetime. Each piece was crafted with love, exuding the sophistication, elegance, and grace that Sylvie herself embodied.
