Shaun Ford | Gemstone Educator & Historian
The Mission
Shaun Ford is the founder of Luxury Pace, a space dedicated to uncovering the fascinating stories hidden within the earth’s most beautiful creations. His work is driven by a simple belief: that understanding the origin, composition, and journey of a gemstone makes its beauty even more profound.
A Focus on Knowledge
Rather than looking at gems as mere assets, Shaun explores them as marvels of nature and human artistry. His writing focuses on the educational pillars of the industry:
- Gemology: Breaking down the complex science of light, color, and mineral structure.
- Heritage: Tracing the cultural significance and ancient legends behind famous stones.
- Artistry: Highlighting the techniques used by lapidaries and designers to reveal a stone’s inner fire.
The Luxury Pace Philosophy
For Shaun, luxury is found in the depth of one’s knowledge. Through Luxury Pace, he provides a curated library of insights for those who seek to appreciate the finer details of the natural world. From the volcanic origins of peridot to the intricate inclusions that give emeralds their character, Shaun invites readers to view the world of gems through a lens of curiosity and respect.
