Having apprenticed at a Faberge workshop in Russia, two of the brothers had extensive experience with platinum, a new metal at that time. Another brother was skilled at toolmaking. Together, they were able to establish a self-contained company where quality could be monitored at all stages. To this day, the firm continues to make its own tools, alloy its own platinum and gold as well as design and create each piece of jewelry to demanding specifications.Oscar Heyman continues to be a supplier and a key source for the finest retail jewelers worldwide.
