A Message From Deborah

“To my collectors, “Diamonds are a girls best friend.” For me this quote is quite true as my passion for the arts and gems began at age six in my backyard hammering open rocks hoping to discover the hidden jewels and daydreaming about how I would create beautiful jewelry. I am a third generation jeweler. My Grandfather, Walter, opened his first jewelry store in 1925 and for the past 101 years the Blohm family has been actively involved in the jewelry business. As a child, I attended the yearly American Gem Society Conclaves with my parents, Ted and Lina, and was fascinated at the opportunity to use the microscope to delve into the rare gems. Working with my family taught me the importance of combining my artist creativity with high quality gems and superb craftsmanship.

In order to build on my family experiences and to satisfy my desire to acquire knowledge, I obtained my Graduate Gemology degree from the renowned Gemological Institute of America (GIA). At the GIA, I learned to identify, authenticate, and examine gemstones and became proficient at spectometry, microscopy, refractive indexes, and solution processes and faceting techniques. I also received my undergraduate degree in Economics with a focus on gems and their effects on the economies of various foreign nations. Finally, the fascination I had known as a child became an area of proficiency for me. Having mastered the science of gemology, I moved to NYC to study art and design techniques under some of the top jewelry designers in the world at the Fashion Institute of Technology. I found that my gemology and design training provided me with the tools to combine my love of art and design with my passion for gems.

My travels throughout Europe and studies of the great masters of art provide the backdrop for my creations. I have tried to capture the styles of some of my favorite artists in my designs. Michelangelo’s daring sculptural strength and imagination has inspired some of my designs. Van Gogh’s intensity and use of color moves me to experiment with a variety of colored gemstones.

With my deep admiration of Rembrandt, I attempt to capture the introspective warmth of humanity in all of my collections.

I hope you enjoy wearing my designs as much as I enjoy creating them.

With love,
Deborah
