That is unless you know what you&#8217;re looking for going into it, which is why we&#8217;ve sought out the expert opinion of the jeweller Pascal Mouawad.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">&#8220;It is essential to think about the craftsmanship involved: select a diamond ring that is authentically crafted and certificated,&#8221; Mouawad shared with\u00a0<\/span><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Grazia<\/span><\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">. Pascal Mouawad is part of the 4th generation in the Mouawad family legacy, a fine jewellery company that has been crafting the extraordinary for over 132 years.

He was introduced to fine jewellery at a young age and has been in the family business for many years. Mouawad safeguards his family&#8217;s legacy by staying true to their beliefs. &#8220;As a family, we believe in value, which manifests itself in many ways,&#8221; Mouawad shared. For them, it&#8217;s &#8220;valuing every individual for their unique attributes and creating value for our customers and the world.&#8221; This deep appreciation for jewellery and background in the field makes Mouawad uniquely qualified to advise on a piece of investment jewellery.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_24285\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-24285\" style=\"width: 963px\"
