The best diamonds, sapphires, emeralds and rubies shine in the high jewelry of Suarez

Nature represented in the flower of the Daphne plant of the same name. The geometry of art deco. The heart as a symbol of universal love conveyed in Dicentra. Timelessness shining in hexagons. The beautiful love story that Marquise hides (legend has it that Louis XV of France commissioned a diamond to be cut inspired by the silhouette of the Marchioness of Pompadour's mouth, hence the iconic marquise cut). And the three-leaf clover of Tris, as a representation of the universal omen of good luck based on the past, present, and future. They are the collections that articulate Suarez's best chapter, his high, very high jewelry.

Everything arises in his atelier, that creative space of the family firm, where the ideas are first built and then, by hand, each of the designs. From the most delicate jewelry, to those incredible creations exclusive to its high jewelry sur mesure. Custom made.

“The workshop is the true heart of the house, where the pieces that have made our clients dream since 1943 are brought to life,” explains Juan Suárez, CEO of the firm. “Craftsmanship is our hallmark and it permeates all our collections in which the highest standards of demand also shine when it comes to choosing the best raw materials,” he argues. With the obsession to maintain “the savoir faire of the Suárez family for 80 years in the hands of our artisans,” he explains that this atelier is “the place where the most exceptional diamonds are always set by hand.”

They are not just any diamonds. They are the most special one can imagine. The philosopher's stone of the house. Unique because they are meticulously, also almost obsessively, chosen. “Five decades of experience guarantees that they have maximum light: we select them one by one, discarding 99.5%, ensuring good proportions, that is, their cut, color and purity, which are absolutely essential. to determine its brilliance,” explains Ruben García, head of the workshop, who remembers the love for the big three, or what is the same, the unsurpassed luxury that makes up the other three great gems of high jewelry, that is: the sapphire. blue, emerald and ruby.

So the first thing is to get the best selection of stones. And then comes the creative process. “It can be born from the precious stone that inspires a unique jewel, or conversely, stones are sought for a specific piece.

From there we move on to 3D to obtain a meticulous plan that will be worked on by our master craftsmen," adds Juan Suárez, who recalls that in this jewelry store with history, "the craftsmanship commitment dictates that the jewel reveals the true light and color of the gemstone". His flag, he summarizes, is “creativity, balance in design and detail”.
