This blog was created to informally update you of what's going on and to share our views.
Besides talking about diamonds and, we would also be talking about ourselves and our past experiences.
If you don't mind :)
Some of you may have already known, before I joined Jann
Paul, I helped out with my family business, which is also in the jewelry trade.
One of our main clients was the Brunei Royal Family. We manage all kinds of
customizations, from tissue boxes decorated with diamonds to golden walking
sticks.
These are a few of the many items that was customized.

I’ve travelled to the Brunei Istana several times, where we
would personally assist the Royal Family. In my first visit, I remembered being
chauffeured to the Istana, and passing through their basement car park. There was
about 2 -3 levels of basements, which was filled with cars parked back to
back. Most of the cars were Rolls Royces. I asked the driver how many Rolls
Royce did the Sultan have, and he said there were over 200... They had a very impressive collection of cars.
Inside the Istanta, everything was designed in fine detail,
from the thick carpets to the decorated ceilings. It seemed that every piece in
the room was customized to fit the room. Almost every furniture had a gold feature
in them. These picture was taken around 2005.
Currently, they are constructing a new Istana, next to the old one. I heard it's even more bigger and grander than the old one.
