SIMON G . LIFELONG PURSUIT OF BEAUTY
IN SIMON’S WORDS “My parents handed down the values of honest, hard work to all their children. We were taught that if you could build something with your hands, you’d never go hungry. When I first came to America, I had $200 in my pocket and a dream of going to college to be an engineer. But when I tried to sign up for classes in New York, they were thousands of dollars! Luckily, I had a relative working in the diamond district who invited me to work there and save up for school. I started setting diamonds and soon fell in love with the process, artistry, and details of jewelry making. Before long, what started as a hobby became a passion. I began making my own designs in my spare time and saving up for more jewelry-making materials instead of classes.
SETTING DIAMONDS All Simon-Set pieces use patented technology to replicate the look of invisible- set, while providing more security and protection. Every diamond is set by hand by a seasoned artisan who specializes in one of three disciplines: pavé, channel, or prong settings. Simon G. artisans ensure that all diamonds are securely fastened and reflecting light exactly as conceptualized. Additionally, unlike many in the industry who use glue to set diamonds or set them using only two prongs, Simon G. goes a step further and uses four prongs to protect diamonds from falling out.
“MY, HOW THINGS HAVE CHANGED SINCE THEN. NOW, SIMON G. HAS MANY DESIGNERS FROM ALL AROUND THE WORLD, AND OUR HANDCRAFTED WORK IS SOLD IN OVER 900 STORES ACROSS NORTH AMERICA. AS PROUD AS I AM OF WHAT WE’VE ACCOMPLISHED, I STILL GET MY BIGGEST THRILL FROM CREATING A NEW PIECE. SITTING DOWN AND SKETCHING OUT AN IDEA IS AS MAGICAL TO ME NOW AS IT WAS THE VERY FIRST TIME I DID IT.”
