In the seventh season of her jewellery-themed podcast Il était une fois le bijou, Anne Desmarest de Jotemps explores the captivating world of tsavorite and Paraíba — two vibrant, on-trend gemstones. Recorded at GemGenève, a cultural event renowned for its rich diversity of jewellery-related topics, this episode brings together voices from across the gem industry: Théodore Rozet (Bellerophon Gem Lab), Daniel Assaf (Tsavorite Factory), and Victor Ferreira Mendes de Lima (Brasil Gem Commerce).
Anne invites her guests to share their passion for these colourful stones, highlighting their gemmological qualities, their suitability for engagement and wedding jewellery, and their rarity — factors that make them highly sought-after by collectors. According to the experts, tsavorite and Paraíba are even rarer and more precious than diamonds, earning them the right to be considered truly “precious stones.”
Much like the iconic rise of the tutti-frutti style, Anne suggests that this unique pairing of gems could inspire future jewellery trends destined to become enduring classics.
