Hearts On Fire!
In light there is beauty... in light there is magic. And this transcendent light is
what a Hearts On Fire Diamond is
all about. It is this "fire", unmatched by any ordinary diamond, that
makes a Hearts On Fire diamond unequaled in its brilliance. You
see, while most diamonds are imperfectly cut allowing light to "leak",
each Hearts On Fire diamond is perfectly cut ~ aligned, polished and proportioned ~
to take in light, reflect, refract and return it with a brilliance, fire and
scintillation that is unparalleled.
And because a Hearts On Fire
diamond burns with a sparkle and fire in a way no other diamond can, it will put
a sparkle and fire in the eyes of the one you love in a way no other
diamond can. Your diamond will last forever. So is this not the time
to cut corners, but rather to get... to give... the one enduring thing that will express your
passion, your love and your commitment perfectly and forever? Come in
and see for yourself and to learn more about Hearts On Fire diamonds.
Only the best master diamond cutters possess the skills necessary to cut Hearts On Fire diamonds.
Less than 1% of gem-quality diamonds are selected to become Hearts On Fire.
Of the four C's, only cut dramatically affects the true beauty of a finished diamond.
Every Hearts On Fire diamond meets the highest standards of the American Gem Society,
achieving a flawless cut grade for polish, proportion and symmetry.
Each Hearts On Fire diamond is engraved with a logo and unique number on the girdle, verifying its authenticity.
Hearts On Fire diamonds are individually hand-crafted by master artisans, taking four times longer to create than other diamonds.
Each Hearts On Fire diamond shows the distinctive ring of hearts and "fireburst" pattern that confirm it is perfectly cut.

Landau, a pioneer in ideal cut diamonds present: The Landau Ideal™ Diamond. When a round
brilliant diamond has been cut to "ideal" proportions by a master cutter, it is a sight to behold.
Each diamond is cut to exact and mathematically proven proportions producing the ultimate fire and
brilliance. When a diamond is cut to the ideal
proportions, all of the light entering from any
direction is totally reflected through the top and dispersed into a display of sparkling flashes
and rainbow colored lights. When a round brilliant diamond has been cut to precise angles and
proportions, with superb symmetry and polish, visual patterns emerge.
The Landau Ideal™, with it's fifty-eight exactly placed facets, produces a magnificent
pattern of "Hearts and Arrows" when viewed through the specially designed Landau Scope. Each facet
acting as a tiny mirror, perfectly aligned, displays hearts and arrows with an explosion of
scintillation, fire and brilliance unique to the Landau Ideal™ diamond.

In October 2000, Michael Parrish and Daniel Jenkins, two Northern California goldsmiths who had been
business partners for years, founded Michael Daniels Collection. They had long admired the mix of
precious metals known as mokume gane, and sought ways to create this beautiful, dramatic and difficult
material. And when they realized they could, at last, develop the tools and skills to make it, they
gave up their successful custom-jewelry business of ten years and started a new company just for mokume.
Mokume gane was first developed in feudal Japan by a seventeenth century master smith named Denbei
Shoami who used mokume in decorative elements for Japanese swords. These fabulous pattern-welded steel
blades constituted one of the highest art forms in Japan at that time, and with Shoami’s mokume
furnishings, they sold for a king’s ransom in Europe. The Japanese closely guarded the secret art of
fusing precious metals over generations of masters and apprentices

Katherine Aberle founded Studio 311 to focus her varied creative interests in forms and materials
that are both precious and enduring. After receiving a BA from the University of California in
Fine Arts, Katherine became a staff member at the prestigious Gemological Institute of America. During
her 10 years at GIA, she taught design courses and developed new classes for the permanent curriculum.
Today Katherine finds inspiration in the rich traditions of the Celtic, African and native American
cultures as well as classical periods of art and architecture. The basic symbols and shapes were
gathered from items as diverse as fabric borders, book ornamentation and ancient armor to the natural
surroundings of the beautiful California coastlands. She has integrated these timeless themes into her
"intaglio" wedding band collections.
Katherine currently makes her home in a rural area north of San Francisco. She lives in a hundred
year old Victorian farmhouse filled with family and pets and the constant atmosphere of noisy
creativity. Katherine also makes time to retreat to the artisan community of Sedona to continue the
exploration for new inspiration amidst the dramatic red rock canyons and endless desert sky.
"I find the design and creation of jewelry to be a very satisfying outlet for my creativity.
Jewelry is an important symbol in celebrating life's rites of passage, such as marriage,
anniversaries or the birth of a child. It is a precious and lasting possesion that can be handed
down to future genrations to maintain the special memories we all cherish. It is a privilege for
me to be involved in this process." ~ Katherine
