"Each and every gemstone and diamond is unique, explains Reynolds, who, since 2020, has been the chief gemologist and vice president of high jewelry diamond and gemstone acquisition at the renowned jewelry house."
"Reynolds welcomes EL PAIS to one of the spacious rooms on the 10th floor of Tiffany's Manhattan headquarters and points to a table she describes as her favorite workspace."
"Mondays are my best day, she adds, describing her work rhythm. That's when I dedicate about three hours to evaluating the quality of the stones."
"Tiffany deserves a lot of recognition because, generally, the gem and diamond business is led by men, although there's no reason for it to be that way."
Billions of years ago, carbon deep underground transformed into diamonds through volcanic eruptions. Victoria Reynolds, Tiffany & Co.'s first female chief gemologist, finds the origin and polishing of gemstones fascinating. She has worked at Tiffany for 38 years and emphasizes the uniqueness of each gemstone. Reynolds dedicates Mondays to evaluating stones based on color, clarity, cut, and carat weight, appreciating the beauty of her workspace and the legacy of the company in a male-dominated industry.
