@ A Moonstone Mine

Tuesday, May 27th, 2008

Sri Lanka is famous for many beautiful things inclusive tea but we come here for the tropical climate, a good holiday and gems of course. Specifically moonstone and sapphire are two of the many gems to be found on the island. We were lucky when we discovered a working mine - not one of those set up for tourists. I always picture mining lands to be barren and was pleasantly surprised by the scenic, lush surroundings as we were coming closer. The entrance, building and whole setup of the place did away with any other ideas I had about moonstone mining. A small palm leave hut with simple machinery but see for yourself:

Motto: Too much of a good thing is wonderful! -

To all our clients…

Friday, December 14th, 2007

The end of 2007 is upon us and I am busy with a little stock take about this past year; what was nice, what worked, what happened etc. ONE THING IS FOR SURE: 

We  think that YOU, our clients are fantastic! I am convinced that if there was a competition on who has the most amazing clients, we would win it over and over again. Thank you all for your ongoing support, compliments and inspiration.

We wish you a wonderful year end and may all your dreams for 2008 come true.

With many regards, Andreas, Patrizia & The entire ANPA Team

Jewels & Wine @ the Nellie - 15th Nov 07

Friday, November 16th, 2007

“Too much of a good thing is wonderful” - was not only the motto of the event, but truly reflects what  happened. There was  a fine collection on display that was savoured by all present; not to forget the stunning wines that were presented by Lisa Grigg’s. We had an absolute fab day and a huge thank you to all of you who came from close and far!!! Believe it or nor, but tomorrow I will start with the preparations for our next exhibition … 

And by the way, quite a few of the new designs that were released on the exhibition will be added to our online shop over the next couple of weeks!

Sona’s & Pete’s wedding

Monday, October 1st, 2007


This was great fun! We did not only make the wedding bands for Sona and Pete, but also were invited to their wedding. It was just amazing to be there when the rings one by one slipped on the finger…

The whole setting was quite overwhelming, close to de Kelders on the beach an oyster in one hand, the bubblies in the other congratulating the couple and trying to spot a whale in the surf. Wow!

Thanks a million for the invite!

P.S.: I got quite nervous the moment the rings came out; What if the size is wrong? Did we bring any tools?!?!
