A Word From Bonnie Herself…
First of all, thank you for being here. I am incredibly humbled to know how much time each and every one of you spends watching my content.
You all know how passionate I get about diamonds, but the one thing I get the most excited about is LOVE.
I am truly grateful that I get to make meaningful pieces of jewelry that celebrates your love. As I always say to my clients, now that you’ve got the perfect ring, go get the girl!

Founder & GIA Gemologist, Proud Mama of Monsieur Julien
Meet Bonnie (Fun Facts)
She is originally from Hong Kong, and her husband Michael is from France. Bonjour! Both sides of the family have been in the jewelry industry for decades (40+ years). He always tells people that Bonnie is the most valuable “hidden gem” he found. *Haha, a little cheesy isn’t it?*
She speaks fluent Cantonese, Mandarin, English, Kindergarten level Japanese, K-Drama level Korean and Traveler level Armenian (lol).
One of her favorite hobbies is riding a motorcycle. Honda CRF 230F SM in particular. Her favorite quote: “When you are riding, you are living. Everything else is just waiting.”
She absolutely loves and breathes DIAMONDS. She dreams about them at night and sends her husband a very long wishlist every Christmas. *poor guy*
After getting her graduate degree in Gemology from GIA World Headquarters in Carlsbad, CA, Bonnie worked for different jewelry companies to gain experience in the industry. She returned to HK for a short time and eventually left the family business to make her journey back to the US to pursue the American Dream. With no capital to open a shop of her own, she sold her first diamond at a San Francisco Starbucks.
She works hard and truly loves what she does. But she doesn’t like taking selfies. *hehe*
