Birinin gidip bakması gerekir.

Ev onun adını taşıyor. Saltique, taşlarını kaynağında satın alan bir gemolog olan İstem Saltık demek. Bu, uçağa binmek, alım masasına oturmak ve para el değiştirmeden önce taşı gün ışığında elde tutmak demek.

Katalogdan satın almaktan yavaş, ve ne sattığını bilmenin tek yolu. Bir taş, yanında gelen evrakla değil, göze geri verdiğiyle yargılanır; bu yargı da devredilemez.

Eve dönen az sayıda taş olur. Her biri, kendi etrafında çizilmiş bir parçanın içine, tezgâhta, elle yerleştirilir.

Where a stone begins.

A marquise, examined at the source.

Every stone in this collection was held at origin before it was bought. The pit, the trading street, the cutter’s bench, the gem laboratory. The first entry of the Journal is that journey, photographed as it happened.

Begun at the deposit.

  1. Source

    The founder travels to the deposit. The stone is chosen by hand, turned in daylight, and bought at origin.

  2. Design

    The setting is drawn around the stone, never the stone fitted into a setting that already existed.

  3. Set

    Bench work in the workshop. Every prong is cut for that stone alone, so the seat is exact.

  4. Deliver

    The piece arrives with its report and its provenance. What it is, and where it came from.
