Christopher Slowinski founded Christopher Designs in 1981. Born in Poland, Slowinski apprenticed under master jewelry artisans in his native country and the United States. Today, he combines his classic jewelry training with modern technology to create exclusive designs that include his patented Crisscut® stones. The Crisscut® Diamond uses additional crisscrossed facets to enhance the maximum size and brilliance of each Diamond resulting in a gem that appears cleaner and whiter than similar stones.
