Our guest today was raised among diamonds, but her first language was music. Born into an Asian family rooted in the jewellery business, she began sorting gemstones with her father as a child while pursuing life as a classically trained cellist. A shoulder injury ended her ambitions as a solo musician, redirecting her toward another form of composition: haute joaillerie. After studying at the Gemological Institute of America, Parsons and Columbia, she founded her namesake Maison in New York. Today, her jewels are worn by Madonna, Oprah, and Gwyneth Paltrow. Not only has her work entered major museum collections but she has also set multiple auction records, including a necklace that sold for 5.78 million dollars at Sotheby's Hong Kong. Meet Monaco resident Anna Hu.
