For as long as I can remember, I have always been fascinated by stones and jewelry. From a very young age, I was drawn to their brilliance, their beauty, and their history.

I founded A&CO, starting with the sale of secondhand jewelry. This passion quickly led me to want to go further: to create, learn, understand, and share. I first completed a gemology certificate at the Montreal Gemological Institute, a program that provided me with a solid foundation and confirmed my desire to deepen my knowledge.

Driven by this desire to go further, I then took the plunge and moved to Bangkok, Thailand, one of the major centers of the gemstone trade. There, I continued my training at the Asian Institute of Gemological Sciences (AIGS), where I obtained my accredited gemologist qualification.

These experiences, combined with my thirst for creation, naturally led me to design my own jewelry. Today, I'm launching my very first ring collection, a collection inspired by softness, light, and a nod to the child within me who has always loved pebbles, seashells, rainbows, and wonder.
