Yes Virginia, there is an H. Stern and he is alive and well in Ipanema, where the world headquarters of his international jewelry firm is located. Over 90% of the world’s colored stones are found in Brazil and H. Stern’s gems have won awards in many international competitions.
The biggest attrac-tion in the museum is the collection of tourmalines that Mr. Stern has personally collected over the 50 years he’s been in business. Most tourmalines are green, but this collection has over 1,000 stones in a variety of shades. Another facet of the museum is the step-by-step process of turning what seems to be a plain rock into a polished stone.
The process continues as a setting is designed to complement each stone. Each is unique. You’ll come away with a whole new
appreciation of why jewels are called precious.
