I don't buy jewelry just for the aesthetic side.

I first met the brand [Didier Dubot] when I went to an event for them on Top of The Standard. It was about three years ago. It was the first time I heard about them and then that's where I met them.

I had a strong identity in mind but then of course I had to trust Didier Dubot's expertise. They've been doing jewelry for so many years.

If you are an executioner, don't expect to have a friend closer than a gallows!

The secret of life is not to have everything you want, but to want everything you have.

We’re in the business of luxury and there’s nothing more luxurious than being good to people, being respectful of them.
