On his first impression of pearls...
"I knew right away that was where my passion belonged the minute I held those pearls in my hands. They were so beautiful, I was captivated."
On the first few chapters of his pearl journey...
"I embarked on my pearl journey 30 years ago with a jewelry company in Lausanne Switzerland and they sent me to Japan to learn the pearl trade. Ever since I have been living and working in Hong Kong."

On being inspired by pearls...
"The most amazing thing about pearl is that every individual piece has its own character and flair. Our aim is to bring out these characters in pearls and enhance them through our designs. So we work our designs around the pearls, not the other way round."
On the perfect match... Rene & wife Linda
"Linda and I work as a perfect team together. I select the nicest pearls and she works with her brilliant design team and comes up with the most extraordinary designs that are made just for that particular piece of pearl."
On pearls and women...
"Pearl is inevitably the most feminine jewelry a woman must possess. The individual characteristic of pearls speaks for a woman."
