The Magic of Gemstones with Doris Hangartner - Episode 49 | English

Gemstones are the heart & soul of some of the most exquisite jewelry in the world. Beyond that, they carry such an immense clarity, beauty and presence which can make our own essence shine brighter. Doris Hangartner is an accredited gemologist and private jeweler in the centre of Zurich. In this episode, she takes us on a mystical journey through the characteristics and symbolism of her favorite gems, including the Paraiba Tourmaline. For Doris, gemstones embody the grandeur of nature on a micro-scale, they help us to be more present, and resound with the harmony of an orchestra when placed together in the right way.  She shares with us her knowledge about how each gem has its own personality and, in this sense, can be matched to a person in a highly individualized fashion. Matching a gem to a person is one of her favourite elements of her mission. She hosts special evenings where she pairs gems with exquisite joys such as champagne or classical music.
