Andrew, my boss and friend at the time, inspired me with his passion for old objects, especially jewellery. He imparted valuable knowledge that I utilize on a daily basis in my professional pursuits. He taught me how to identify stones, examine bullion, and clean and restore old objects with respect for craftsmanship.
