Co-founder
Aimo Zanghirella
Aimo is Edward’s partner in Vetas Reserve. Together they built the business around one simple idea. Buy well at the source. Prepare every stone with care. Treat every client as a long-term relationship.
Aimo works alongside Edward on sourcing and on the relationships that bring the best Colombian material to the table.
One person. Start to finish.
Every enquiry comes to Edward first. You will not be passed around. Email or call, whichever suits you. Either way you get a reply from a person who knows your order.
We manage the deal. All of it.
Buying emeralds across borders has a lot of moving parts. We take care of them, so you can focus on the jewellery.
