Disegno Fine Jewellery

Disegno Fine Jewellery I am also a Fellow of the Canadian Gemmological Association (FCGmA, CGA), a distinction respected for the depth of its theoretical studies (2018).

Disegno Fine Jewellery specializing in 18k gold and platinum custom designing with fine natural gemstones by professionally trained jewellery designer and certified gemologist Pamela Coulston. Disegno was launched in 1992 and since that time has been sold in public and private galleries, museums, exclusive cruise ships from the Arctic to the Antarctic, and various boutiques in North America and Eu

rope. The Canadian Governor General's residence, the Canadian Museum of Civilization, and numerous private collectors from as far away as Africa have commissioned me to create custom pieces. I am a Graduate Gemologist from the prestigious Gemological Institute of America (GG, GIA) in Carlsbad California (2018), the world’s foremost authority on gems. I graduated in Jewelry Design from GIA’s Santa Monica campus (1991) and subsequently attained my GIA Accredited Jewelry Professional certificate. My extensive gemmology training and my passion for exquisite gems have committed me to use only fine, unique gems you’ll rarely find elsewhere. Only natural, untreated gems make the grade, including Canadian diamonds. Disegno is known for originality, attention to detail, quality of finish, and the substantial amounts of precious metals. I previously enjoyed careers as an International Development Consultant, working for two years with Unicef in Rwanda among other assignments, and as a Freelance Writer, reporting primarily for national Canadian press and tracking down stories in remote areas of the world. I filed stories floating on ice floes in the Arctic Ocean, trekked some of the world's highest mountain ranges, took notes on bear behaviour in rain forest downpours — and made publishing deadlines every time. Thanks to my wonderful clients and wonderful associates, you make Disegno a great place to hang out. Pamela

FAMOUS ANCIENT 'LOST' DIAMOND IN QUEBEC BANK VAULT -- The famous 'Florentine' diamond, a 137-carat pear-shaped stone once part of the crown jewels of Austro-Hungarian emperor Charles I and not seen for more than a century has reportedly turned up at a Montreal bank.
