Etienne Shares His Admiration For German Designer Friedrich Becker

 
The Manufacturing Jewelers & Suppliers of America (MJSA), is a great organization and an important resource to so many of America's top jewelers. MJSA puts out an educational print Journal full of extremely valuable trade tips and recently asked Etienne to share his input.

They asked Etienne want is the coolest thing in his vault and instead of using the chance for self-promotion, he pulled a classic Etienne and shared some honest insight into what has inspired him as a jewelry designer, by explaining the story of a stunning gold & tourmaline sphere ring by famous German designer Friedrich Becker.
