Paloma Sanchez biography
Paloma Sanchez is a GIA Gemologist and Jewelry Designer who looks for specimen-quality and exquisite stones all over the world. She never expects to find the same stone twice. And she never will create the same piece. Each is as one of a kind as was its journey into a unique stone.
Paloma Sanchez不仅是一位美国宝石学会宝石学家，而且是一位珠宝设计师。她遍游世界，只为寻觅独特精美的宝石。她从不期待能找到两颗相同的宝石；也从不设计相同的作品。她的每件作品，都是独一无二的，因为它们本身就是天地间独一无二的结晶。
Paloma likewise have a profound love and respect for her father, and that is why her personal journey began with law school. Paloma had passed both Spanish and French university entry exams in her hometown of Madrid, Spain, and to meet her father’s expectations, Paloma earned a law degree. Only then did her father permit Paloma to resume her journey toward creating jewelry from precious stones.
Paloma对她的父亲也有着同样的眷恋和尊重，所以她遵从父愿去读法律。在她的家乡马德里，她通过了大学西班牙语和法语的考试，然后如她的父亲所希望的，她获得了法律学位。此后，她父亲才允许她开始自己珠宝设计的工作。
Paloma went on to earn her degree as a Graduate Gemologist and Jewelry Designer from the world-renowned Gemological Institute of America, in Los Angeles, California. In the following years, Paloma immersed herself in both retail and the business of global luxury brands, including Carrera y Carrera, Hublot, Cuervo&Sobrinos, and Patek Philippe.
Paloma在加州洛杉矶世界知名的美国宝石学院获得了宝石学家的学位。在之后的几年中，她投身于多个世界奢侈品包括零售和商业发展领域的工作，她服务过的品牌有Carrera y Carrera, Hublot, Cuervo&Sobrinos和Patek Philippe。
Now in Beijing since 2006, Paloma Sanchez is devoted full-time to searching for the loveliest stones from around the world, and then honoring their uniqueness with exquisite design.
从2006年至今Paloma Sanchez一直在北京，全情投入于寻找世界各地动人的宝石并赋予它们独一无二的精美设计。
Paloma’s travels for unique stones have taken her to the mines of Montana and Arizona in the U.S., to Vietnam, Thailand, Myanmar, Morocco, China, Colombia, Ethiopia, Tanzania, Mozambique, Dominican Republic and Madagascar. Sometimes their natural rough form is breathtaking enough to showcase with little interpretation, while others can be polished to reveal their fierce inner lights. It is this inner brilliance that Paloma loves to capture in her jewelry.
为了找到独特的宝石，Paloma曾去过美国蒙大拿州和亚利桑那州、越南、泰国、缅甸、摩洛哥、中国、哥伦比亚、埃塞俄比亚、坦桑尼亚、莫桑比克、多米尼加共和国和马达加斯加的矿场。一些宝石未经打磨，但本身那神奇瑰丽的结构已足以让人惊叹不已，完全无需用语言去诠释；而另一些宝石则需要打磨才能揭开其炫目的光彩。这种内在的光辉正是Paloma在她的珠宝中所要捕捉的。
“It delights me to see women of individual character wear my unique creations. My personal view is that jewelry should be as precious and as one-of-a-kind as they are.” Paloma says.
Paloma说“当看到那些独具个性的女性佩戴着我设计的珠宝时，我总会感到由衷的欣喜。我认为，和这些独一无二的女性一样，珠宝也有自己无与伦比的珍贵。”
