Some wake up to alarms. You, darling, wake up to carats.

 

Welcome to "Breakfast with Diamonds", a diamond-drenched morning in the members-only Cle D’Or Lounge. Led by the inimitable Ksenia Kostina—Dubai’s top gemmologist, Diamond Exchange insider, and trusted advisor to collectors and royal households alike—this masterclass is your key you’ll gain access to the codes that only insiders speak fluently: cut, clarity, color, carat. Book for your event: birthday, team building, bachelorette?

 

What You’ll Learn

 

The Diamond Decoded:

• Why two identical-looking diamonds may differ wildly in value (and how to tell the imposter).

• The carats VS the cut and what;s more important?

• How to read a GIA certificate like you summered in Antwerp.

 

Behind the Velvet Curtain:

• Who really sets diamond prices (spoiler: it’s not your local jeweler).

• The truth behind lab-grown and natural diamonds.

 

Insider Insights:

• How to choose a diamond that appreciates in value, not just compliments.

• Real-world case studies from Ksenia’s work with millionaire clients.

• Trends worth following—and the PR fluff you can ignore.

Why You’ll Love It

• Because diamonds are better with context. Anyone can buy sparkle. But you? You’ll understand the cut, the certificate, and the quiet confidence behind a well-chosen stone.

• Because it’s not a showroom—it’s a salon. Held in the exclusive Cle D’Or Lounge, this is a members-only space where insight flows with espresso and curiosity is never rushed.

• Because Ksenia doesn’t sell stones—she reveals them. With over a decade of experience, she’ll take you behind the velvet curtain of the gem world: the truths, the tricks, and the tales only insiders tell.

• Because GesteLux is about the gesture. And this one says: I know the difference. Between carats and clarity. Between hype and heritage. Between buying… and belonging.

• And yes, because there’s breakfast. Light, elegant, served after the session—because brilliance, darling, is best digested with tea.
