Who
goes from being 
considered the #1 sapphire
salesperson in the world, and sell-
ing precious gemstones to jewel houses
including Graff Diamonds and Van Cleef
and Arpels, to taking a leap of faith and start-
ing a successful high-end jewelry company
that would lead to A-List celeb endorsements,
attaining distribution in over 26 countries and
eventually moving to a country where you
barely speak the language? The answer to
that question is revealed here… Meet
Igal Dahan, president of
IGAL DAHAN jewelry.
Igal is a fifth-generation jeweler who is affectionately
called “The James Bond of Jewelry” by Forbes
magazine. Igal doesn’t carry a gun, but his “Diamonds
Are Forever”. He’s a chic jet-setter who has lived in
five countries (France, Belgium, Thailand, Israel,
USA), designs The Saturnalia Collection of fine-art,
pink and blue sapphire pieces (Price points between
$27,860 and $47,860) and has a tender approach to
his artistry with a sophisticated eye for beauty.
Celebrities and high profile individuals including Elton
John, Kim Kardashian, The Hilton Sisters and Matt
Damon have worn Igal’s pieces, and his previous Cuffs
of Love line has been distributed in 26 countries. Igal
is currently launching The Winder of Love, his fine-art
collection of precious-gemstone pieces (Price points to
$9,600) inspired by the Greek god of time that speaks
to timeless aspects of love. As a woman who agrees
with the mantra “Diamonds Are A Girl’s Best Friend”,
I am delighted to feature Igal Dahan and his beautiful
jewels on the coming pages…Please enjoy ~Alexis
