Pastor Geneve, a trusted colored diamond resource, assists a worldwide clientele out of its headquarters in Geneva. In serving its clients, Pastor Geneve provides a high professional standard of support in acquiring and grading colored diamonds, among the most valuable hard assets produced by nature. In fact, over the past several decades, the value of these gemstones has reached record-breaking highs on the strength of increasing demand and falling supply. In assessing the value of its holdings, Pastor Geneve draws upon the work of Stephen C. Hofer, the firm’s chief strategist and the author of "Collecting and Classifying Colored Diamonds," an expansive reference book offering key technical insights that help professionals and collectors determine the quality of the rare gems. Several stakeholders in the precious stone industry, including those at De Beers, Sotheby's, and Christie's, have commended the book for the quality of its data. In addition to the aforementioned publication, Mr. Hofer has written for New York Diamonds magazine and technical periodicals.
