Ms Paloma attended an exclusive private jewelry appreciation event at the Private Banking Center of China Merchants Bank, Nanjing.

On May 20, 2025, Paloma Sanchez, The Art of Jewelry, was invited to host an exclusive private jewelry appreciation event at the Private Banking Center of China Merchants Bank, Nanjing. Founder and CEO, Ms. Paloma Sanchez — a GIA-certified gemologist, professional gemstone investment advisor, and internationally acclaimed jewelry artist — shared her creative philosophy, insights into the global gemstone and jewelry market, and strategies for incorporating gemstones into long-term investment portfolios.

Taking guests on a journey through themes such as "Nature’s Wonders", "Inspired by China", "A Story to Wear", "Collector’s Pieces", "Versatile Wearable Art", and "Award-Winning Creations", Paloma offered a rare glimpse into the artistry and depth behind each of her pieces—where the beauty of nature meets the soul of art.

Every Paloma Sanchez, The Art of Jewelry creation is crafted using museum-quality, hand-selected, one-of-a-kind gemstones. The value of the creation lies not only in the preciousness of the gemstones but also in the uniqueness of the design - whether it’s a faceted gemstone crafted to perfection or a design that embraces the natural beauty of rough stones, each creation is a testament to the artistry and craftsmanship that defines Paloma Sanchez, The Art of Jewelry.

As a jewelry artist who has lived and worked in China for many years, Paloma is deeply inspired by traditional Chinese aesthetics. She incorporates Chinese elements into many of her designs, creating a distinctive sense of Eastern elegance. Techniques and cultural heritage such as Tian Cui, gold filigree, ink painting, Tibetan antiques, and the art of jade have all become important sources of inspiration in her creative process.

For Paloma, jewelry is a deeply personal form of expression — a reflection of the wearer’s story, character, and emotion. She believes that truly exceptional jewelry doesn’t just adorn, but invites the wearer to become part of the artistic narrative. Each piece embodies a memory, a feeling, and a one-of-a-kind experience.

With over 30 years of experience in the industry, Paloma’s investment perspective goes far beyond well-known precious stones like rubies, sapphires, and emeralds. She also focuses on rare and high-potential gemstones and mineral specimens such as conch pearls and crystallized gold, creating a unique style of “collectible aesthetics” that seamlessly combines artistic beauty with investment value.

Versatility is also at the heart of Paloma’s design ethos. Her pieces often feature transformable components that can be worn in multiple ways, offering both style flexibility and a playful, interactive experience. In her world, jewelry is not only art — it’s wearable, adaptable, and deeply personal.

Paloma’s work has earned her numerous international accolades. In 2019, her piece "Medusa's Sting" — now housed in the Black Opal Collection Museum in Melbourne — won First Prize in the Prestige Professional Jewelry category at the International Opal Jewelry Design Awards, making her the first non-Australian to receive the honor. In 2023, her Core Necklace and Origins Brooch/Necklace received Silver Awards at the prestigious A’ Design Awards in Italy. In 2025, she will present her work at the Florence Biennale.

Through Paloma’s insightful presentation and the opportunity to experience her creations up close, guests gained a deeper understanding of the creative vision behind her brand, the natural beauty and power of gemstones, and the enduring value of fine jewelry as a personal treasure and a long-term investment.
