Nicholas Saputra's Traveling Hobby Story that Leads Him to Become a 'Gem Designer'

Dream - Who wouldn't be happy to be able to pursue a hobby and make money at the same time. This is what actor Nicholas Saputra does, who has a passion for traveling. Through his hobby, Nicholas was appointed as the Brand Ambassador of a jewelry manufacturer in Indonesia, Mondial.

Nicholas was chosen because Mondial saw a harmony in the exciting journey to one of the countries known as 'Gemstone Island'. For Nicholas, Sri Lanka is one of the destinations that captivated his heart while pursuing his hobby of traveling. Not only its natural beauty, Sri Lanka is also considered a paradise for gemstone enthusiasts, which also caught the attention of Rangga, the actor in the movie "Ada Apa Dengan Cinta". Through his Instagram account @nicholassaputra, Nicholas often captures and shares the beauty of nature, culture, and precious moments from every corner of the world he has explored.

"Furthermore, almost all of the photos in his online gallery contain places that he visited both domestically and abroad. Not only that, from his travel posts, Nicholas appears to frequently visit offbeat destinations that are rarely visited by many travelers in general."

To him, traveling is not just about visiting famous places, but about appreciating the uniqueness and wonders in places that may not be widely known. "I like traveling to unusual places, one of the places I often visit and perhaps not many people visit is Sri Lanka, which is famous for being the Gems Stones Island," Nicholas said on Friday, September 16, 2023.

However, Nicholas's journey in the world of gemstones does not stop there. Together with Mondial, which is celebrating its 44th anniversary, he introduces his collaborative collection titled 'MONDIAL PRECIOUS X NICHOLAS SAPUTRA'.

This collection emphasizes precious stones such as sapphire and ruby. Both are carefully selected and designed to highlight their uniqueness and strength.

"Ruby, with its deep red color, symbolizes love, courage, and passion, while sapphire, with its mysterious blue color, symbolizes wisdom, calmness, and harmony. Specifically, Nicholas also actively participates in the design process, you know, Dream Friends."

With a strong collaboration between Nicholas and the Mondial design team, they successfully created 24 unique and stunning designs ranging from everyday jewelry to statement jewelry, including the masterpiece collection of The Medallion brooches that Nicholas wore at the celebration of Indonesian Independence Day last August.

"Through the MONDIAL Precious x Nicholas Saputra collection, we aim to change consumers' perception of the meaning of the word 'precious', which has so far been limited to diamonds," said Tanya Alissia, Gemologist & Chief Merchandising Officer of Central Mega Kencana on the same occasion. According to her, rubies and sapphires are equally rare, and some of them are even rarer."

According to MONDIAL standards, they carefully ensure that all jewelry in the MONDIAL Precious x Nicholas Saputra collection follows the MONDIAL design principles, namely fancy shapes, fancy colors, and fancy construction, while also meeting high-quality standards, especially in terms of color for each precious stone and the 4C quality standards (Carat, Color, Clarity, Cut) for each diamond used.

"It is rarely known that I actually have an interest in precious stones. I always make time for stone-hunting when traveling, I even went to Myanmar specifically for stone-hunting," explained the man born on February 24, 1984."

"The openness of MONDIAL to involve me as a designer, not just as a brand spokesperson, convinces me to embrace this opportunity well," he added.

In this collaboration opportunity, Nico, his familiar nickname, utilizes his experience as an architect to bring to life the concept of simple geometric shapes that become the essence of the debut collection of MONDIAL Precious x Nicholas Saputra. "In architecture, the three basic geometric shapes - triangle, square, circle - are the foundation of all extraordinary architectural works. Although they may appear simple, these three shapes can provide a wide space for creativity in creating various designs, from subtle to luxurious, and they are also ageless, suitable for teenagers to adults," concluded the actor of Joni in the movie Janji Joni.
