The Canadian jewellery designer Kat Florence personally scouts for rare jewels and provides them with her very personal note. Exquisite colored gemstones, such as sapphires, emeralds or Paraiba tourmalines, build the center of her jewellery pieces. Such gems are true rarities nowadays and very hard to find in the market. In 2015, Kat Florence inked a 5-year partnership with Sarah Jessica Parker.
