1 Greetings from Kurt Ziemer, Dr. Robert Chodelka and Frank Ziemer, founders of Ziemer Swiss Diamond Art Nature whispered and we listened. Every human being has a unique story. Speak a little less, listen a bit more, and you may get to hear it. If you listen carefully and are deemed a worthy recipient of such a treasure, you may even get to hear this person s deepest secrets. Nature has her story as well. If we listen intently, if we listen respectfully, she will tell us her story. And if our minds and hearts are open enough to notice all her subtle hints, we will realize she is revealing to us her most intimate secrets. For over 60 years, we and our predecessors have been students of nature, listening intently as she has revealed the recipe of one of her most enchanting gemstones the creation of diamond. Yes, we can now make diamonds real diamonds. It is a testament to nature and humankind in harmony. On behalf of all such students of the environment, I invite you to join in this tribute to Mother Nature. The ability to make gem-quality diamonds is indeed novel. Thus, the owners of jewels from the Shine on Me collection will join this exclusive circle of pioneers. They will be among the first people on earth to own jewelry of this kind. These unique works of art captivate the imagination by their beauty and design. Then add to it the depth of a story, a story that sounds like a fantasy at its first telling a diamond made in Switzerland, and now you have something that is truly beautiful and also rare and innovative. With Shine on Me we illuminate a way for those seeking something different, those seeking beauty with a story. We look forward to the day when we become part of your story. And should you care to share that story with us, you already have proof that we are good listeners.
3 Shine on Me The only constant is change. Several notable philosophers have been quoted saying some variant of the line, The only constant is change. But, who drives this change? Much of the motion and bustle we experience in everyday life is certainly the combination of human creation and nature. However what is its source man or Nature? A voyage of discovery requires the exceptional. It transcends mere beauty. Only a beauty with a story has the depth of soul to bring you beyond the ordinary. We entrust this sacred duty to just such a special character, a diamond from Ziemer Swiss Diamond Art, your companion throughout a life of inspiration and fulfillment. Our answer is that they are one and the same. We say it is human nature to create. If change is the only constant, then status quo is not a moment, it is flow. It is not a position, but motion. Just as nature drives the diurnal cycle from sunrise to sunset to sunrise again, it sets us in motion on a journey from the genesis of contemplation, to inspiration, to emotion, to fulfillment. To celebrate your voyage, we have created Shine on Me. Shine on Me Now it s your turn. The thousand facets of a creative, charmed life are also a force of nature. They constantly seek forms of expression. The thousand facets of your personality will find expression in the thousand facets and intriguing hues of each Shine on Me masterpiece. Every facet is a new angle and every angle is a new scene. Each movement and every gesture provides a new angle, making each piece in the collection a journey of a thousand scenes.

48 Ziemer Swiss made Diamonds produced by Ziemer Swiss Diamond Art AG are not so-called diamond imitations or diamond simulants (e.g. Moissanite and Cubic Zirconia). A Ziemer Swiss made Diamond has the identical chemical, physical, optical and thermal properties as a natural, earth mined diamond. For this reason, whether a Ziemer Swiss made Diamond or a Natural Diamond... A diamond is a diamond.
