Last Day in Rio ...

Last day in Rio! I decided to go to H Stern Jewelry headquarters, the smart husband of mine decided to stay home :P
No pictures to show as they do not allow photography in the building, but I REALLY ENJOYED the tour AND MY PURCHASE :) H Stern owns the end to end process for precious stone jewelry. They own the mine, they have manual labor polish and cut the stones, they have their own laboratory to certify the stones, they own design team to design jewelry, a metals setting team to set the final stones in the approved design ... it was quite an eye-opener as I watch the whole process, very manual. Since I can't take any photos indoor, let's just show what I purchased (don't tell Frank) :P





Anyway, I now loved H stern line, very modern, and clean line sleek design, they don't have a presence in Asia yet, only a rep office in Tokyo.

With a few hours to while away waiting to go to the aiport for Buenos Aires, we just spent it at the hotel lounge, beef appetizer was pretty amazing!
