Why the name Valordiams? My Story

Why the name Valordiams? My story

Valordiams is more than a name; it's a signature.
A word that brings together who I am: Valérie, passionate about gold and diamonds... but also about all precious stones full of color and emotion.

More than 15 years ago, I started hunting for antique, vintage, and contemporary jewelry. I was fascinated by their sparkle, their history, their unique character. Very quickly, this passion became obvious: I wanted to make it my profession.

I completed several jewelry training courses, but it was primarily through contact with professionals—and thanks to a precious and patient neighbor friend—that I truly learned. He guided me, advised me, and helped me understand the subtleties of the trade, negotiate with suppliers, recognize quality, and refine my eye. At first, it was hard, but I persevered. I poured all my energy, curiosity, and fighting spirit into this adventure.

And yes, I've been diabetic for 22 years, now on an insulin pump. A constraint? Perhaps. But above all, a daily reminder of something essential: I love life. Intensely.

Every day, I continue to learn. I dedicate an hour to training myself, whether it's about jewelry, stones, social media, or improving my shop. I love it: learning, discovering, evolving. I love beautiful things, especially jewelry that tells a story, that sparkles with its precious stones. But what I love most of all is exchanging with other enthusiasts. Gemology is an infinite and inspiring universe. It gives me the energy to continue.

My commitment? To offer quality jewelry at very affordable prices. Each piece is carefully checked and polished by my jeweler before being put up for sale. It must regain all its sparkle, all its nobility.

Finally, I love nature. It inspires me, soothes me, centers me. My little dog Maya, a lively Japanese Spitz, accompanies me daily. These moments of tenderness are essential to my balance.

Thank you for reading my little story.
