Working at !Xam Diamonds was a life changing opportunity that helped me evolve and truly graduate from my role as a student. I felt fortunate to be able to work alongside experienced designers and jewelers to further enhance my skills. Applying my knowledge from school, I contributed to designing as well as making processes. I still have a lot to learn and !Xam became a place not only to gain new experiences, but also a place that allows me to continue learning.
