Galetea Davinchi Cut Jewelry

About Galetea "Davinchi Cut"

Galetea has created a new cut for gemstones called the "Davinchi Cut" which has the ability to absorb colors, light or images into the gem.

This magical illusion makes the gem change colors in different angles and points of view. There is a wonderful depth of field within the gem, we find it is difficult to fix our eyes on just a single focus point. This cut creates the sense of liveliness, a constant changing in color and texture.

The "Davinchi Cut" is also available in diamond which makes a white diamond change into red, yellow, green, blue or any color in the spectrum or a mixture of multiple colors without altering its natural composition.

 About Galatea

My father was a talented and widely respected jeweler. In the old days, in my home country, it was considered a great privilege and honor to apprentice with him. One was more than willing to tolerate the six months or so spent cleaning the shop, polishing and making jump-rings, only to "progress" to spending day after day making simple wedding bands just to be asked to melt them down and start over because they weren't round enough! The great mystery of why he was so hard on us was finally revealed to me the day he said "If you want to be a good jeweler it takes skill and repetition. To be a 'great jeweler' also requires patience, dedication, courage, and a

special love for your trade. Having these qualities makes you worthy to work in my shop." Today at Galatea we have more than jewelers, we have an Olympic team of jewelers all of whom share this philosophy and love for our trade. We create each piece as if to be worn by our own beloved.

Inspiration comes from nature. I toss a pebble into a pond and watch the ripples gently and pleasantly hypnotize me for hours. I pick up a shell and watch the spiral design travel into my eyes. I watch a child hold a flower innocently in her hands as she watches a butterfly dance in the garden. At these moments nature shares and reveals to us the secret of natural beauty. To me, art is like music, the musician understands key, melody, composition, etc. This enables him to create music rather than noise. Likewise, I have come to understand line, light, shape, color, texture, and the mystic harmony of their relationship in creating music for the eyes. I believe natural beauty is not just based on culture, intellect, or the conditions of life alone. Universal beauty does exist and you can find it in your smile.
