Parlaying expertise gained while apprenticing at Faberge in Russia, the Heyman brothers drew upon their skill to produce wondrous jewels at their New York offices. The inherent quality of their art has led top names such as Cartier and Van Cleef & Arpels to commission pieces from them. Valuing every step in the creation of fine jewelry, the firm goes so far as to alloy their own gold and platinum. They also make their own tools to perform the painstakingly exact stone setting that sets their work apart.
