Quickly, his passion for gems developed. There followed many journeys to the four corners of the world to discover and especially to experience this fascinating sector. From Brazil, Burma, Vietnam, via Taiwan, China, Japan, Singapore, South Korea, Sri Lanka… Brieuc has created strong ties in this sector and has assimilated the cultural differences that make the beauty of this world.
