Welcome to my website! I’m Maxime Ruelle, a dedicated lapidary with eleven years of experience in cutting and shaping precious gemstones. Throughout my career, I’ve cultivated deep expertise and developed a distinctive craftsmanship that sets my work apart.
My journey began in Antwerp, where I spent seven formative years immersed in the world of gem cutting, polishing, and transformation. Working in one of the world’s leading diamond hubs allowed me to refine my technique and gain a profound understanding of the subtleties that bring each stone to life.
Seeking to broaden my perspective, I embarked on a journey across Southeast Asia to explore the cultural and artisanal traditions surrounding colored gemstones. During this time, I trained in lapidary sculpture in Jaipur—the famed City of Emeralds—where I deepened my appreciation for ancestral techniques and innovative approaches to stone cutting.
Today, I’m proud to have opened my own workshop in the heart of Brussels. My mission is to meet every request for colored stone cutting with precision, passion, and a commitment to excellence. Each gem is treated with meticulous care, held to the highest standards of quality, and crafted with the singular goal of client satisfaction.
Driven by a constant desire to evolve, I continued my training in Idar-Oberstein, Germany—Europe’s historic center for gemstone artistry—where I honed my skills further and embraced the technical rigor that defines the finest lapidary work.
Feel free to explore my website to discover my creations and the range of services I offer. I look forward to collaborating with you and bringing your jewelry projects to life.
