Amante from our Bachelor of Business Administration Class of 2015. Read on to learn about how he achieved his success.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Congratulations on your incredible achievement! How did you make it happen? <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">My path to scoring this achievement has been a mix of passion for my trade and a knack for finding hidden gems that resonate with gem collectors and connoisseurs. My journey spans three continents\u2014New York, Miami, London, Lisbon, Paris, Bangkok, and Shanghai, and it&#8217;s given me a unique global perspective on luxury. With my background in art and antiques, I&#8217;ve built connections with diverse clients, from celebrities to dedicated collectors. Over the years, I&#8217;ve been privileged to work with rare diamonds, gemstones, fine jewelry, and luxury watches\u2014buying, selling, and appraising them. Coupled with my solid academic foundation, I have emerged as a leading authority on signed, antique, and vintage jewelry within Portugal.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-30654 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hult.edu\/blog\/media\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Forbes-30U30-Forbes-Cover-345x345.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"345\" height=\"345\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hult.edu\/blog\/media\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Forbes-30U30-Forbes-Cover-345x345.jpeg 345w, https:\/\/www.hult.edu\/blog\/media\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Forbes-30U30-Forbes-Cover-1024x1024.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.hult.edu\/blog\/media\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Forbes-30U30-Forbes-Cover-500x500.jpeg 500w, https:\/\/www.hult.edu\/blog\/media\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Forbes-30U30-Forbes-Cover-768x768.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.hult.edu\/blog\/media\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Forbes-30U30-Forbes-Cover-1536x1536.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.hult.edu\/blog\/media\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Forbes-30U30-Forbes-Cover-660x660.jpeg 660w, https:\/\/www.hult.edu\/blog\/media\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Forbes-30U30-Forbes-Cover-215x215.jpeg 215w, https:\/\/www.hult.edu\/blog\/media\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Forbes-30U30-Forbes-Cover-100x100.jpeg 100w, https:\/\/www.hult.edu\/blog\/media\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Forbes-30U30-Forbes-Cover.jpeg 1546w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 345px) 100vw, 345px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Since graduating, what have you been doing? <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I jumped right into the world of antiques, fine jewelry, and luxury watches. My main focus is curating exceptional pieces, building relationships, and keeping up with trends in the market. I specialize in those hard-to-find, signed pieces from iconic makers like Cartier, Van Cleef &amp; Arpels, Tiffany &amp; Co, Graff, Rolex, Patek Philippe, and more.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">My passion for learning has taken me to some prestigious places like Christie&#8217;s Education, the Gemological Institute of America (GIA), the Portuguese Government&#8217;s official appraiser program, L\u2019Ecole by Van Cleef &amp; Arpels, and the UK\u2019s National Association of Jewellers. These educational experiences provided me with deep knowledge of art and antiques, sharpening my skills and broadening my experience. I also graduated as one of the top alums in the Portuguese government&#8217;s valuers program.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In my professional journey, I started as a sales consultant at HaXon Garden. Soon after, I earned a promotion to become a valuer and buyer for a prestigious antique jeweler located in the historic Burlington Arcade. This experience laid the groundwork for establishing my own UK-based company in late 2019. However, when the pandemic hit, I made the decision to align my efforts with Espadim 1985, a family venture in the luxury sector. This move allowed me to combine my passion for business and lead Espadim 1985&#8217;s expansion into Portugal.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>I&#8217;ve emerged as a leading authority on signed, antique, and vintage jewelry within Portugal.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-30663 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hult.edu\/blog\/media\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Art-Deco-1920s1930s-Diamond-Lady-Cocktail-Watches-in-Platinum-345x345.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"345\" height=\"345\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hult.edu\/blog\/media\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Art-Deco-1920s1930s-Diamond-Lady-Cocktail-Watches-in-Platinum-345x345.jpg 345w, https:\/\/www.hult.edu\/blog\/media\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Art-Deco-1920s1930s-Diamond-Lady-Cocktail-Watches-in-Platinum-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.hult.edu\/blog\/media\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Art-Deco-1920s1930s-Diamond-Lady-Cocktail-Watches-in-Platinum-500x500.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.hult.edu\/blog\/media\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Art-Deco-1920s1930s-Diamond-Lady-Cocktail-Watches-in-Platinum-768x767.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.hult.edu\/blog\/media\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Art-Deco-1920s1930s-Diamond-Lady-Cocktail-Watches-in-Platinum-660x660.jpg 660w, https:\/\/www.hult.edu\/blog\/media\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Art-Deco-1920s1930s-Diamond-Lady-Cocktail-Watches-in-Platinum-215x215.jpg 215w, https:\/\/www.hult.edu\/blog\/media\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Art-Deco-1920s1930s-Diamond-Lady-Cocktail-Watches-in-Platinum-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.hult.edu\/blog\/media\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Art-Deco-1920s1930s-Diamond-Lady-Cocktail-Watches-in-Platinum.jpg 1179w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 345px) 100vw, 345px\" \/> <img class=\"size-medium wp-image-30671 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hult.edu\/blog\/media\/uploads\/2023\/09\/20th-Century-Old-Cut-Diamond-and-Enamel-Necklace-5-345x345.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"345\" height=\"345\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hult.edu\/blog\/media\/uploads\/2023\/09\/20th-Century-Old-Cut-Diamond-and-Enamel-Necklace-5-345x345.jpeg 345w, https:\/\/www.hult.edu\/blog\/media\/uploads\/2023\/09\/20th-Century-Old-Cut-Diamond-and-Enamel-Necklace-5-1024x1024.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.hult.edu\/blog\/media\/uploads\/2023\/09\/20th-Century-Old-Cut-Diamond-and-Enamel-Necklace-5-500x500.jpeg 500w, https:\/\/www.hult.edu\/blog\/media\/uploads\/2023\/09\/20th-Century-Old-Cut-Diamond-and-Enamel-Necklace-5-768x768.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.hult.edu\/blog\/media\/uploads\/2023\/09\/20th-Century-Old-Cut-Diamond-and-Enamel-Necklace-5-1536x1536.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.hult.edu\/blog\/media\/uploads\/2023\/09\/20th-Century-Old-Cut-Diamond-and-Enamel-Necklace-5-2048x2048.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/www.hult.edu\/blog\/media\/uploads\/2023\/09\/20th-Century-Old-Cut-Diamond-and-Enamel-Necklace-5-660x660.jpeg 660w, https:\/\/www.hult.edu\/blog\/media\/uploads\/2023\/09\/20th-Century-Old-Cut-Diamond-and-Enamel-Necklace-5-215x215.jpeg 215w, https:\/\/www.hult.edu\/blog\/media\/uploads\/2023\/09\/20th-Century-Old-Cut-Diamond-and-Enamel-Necklace-5-100x100.jpeg 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 345px) 100vw, 345px\" \/> <img class=\"size-medium wp-image-30666 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hult.edu\/blog\/media\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Tiffany-and-Co-1960s-Dog-and-Cat-Brooches-345x345.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"345\" height=\"345\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hult.edu\/blog\/media\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Tiffany-and-Co-1960s-Dog-and-Cat-Brooches-345x345.jpg 345w, https:\/\/www.hult.edu\/blog\/media\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Tiffany-and-Co-1960s-Dog-and-Cat-Brooches-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.hult.edu\/blog\/media\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Tiffany-and-Co-1960s-Dog-and-Cat-Brooches-500x500.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.hult.edu\/blog\/media\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Tiffany-and-Co-1960s-Dog-and-Cat-Brooches-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.hult.edu\/blog\/media\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Tiffany-and-Co-1960s-Dog-and-Cat-Brooches-1536x1536.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.hult.edu\/blog\/media\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Tiffany-and-Co-1960s-Dog-and-Cat-Brooches.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.hult.edu\/blog\/media\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Tiffany-and-Co-1960s-Dog-and-Cat-Brooches-660x660.jpg 660w, https:\/\/www.hult.edu\/blog\/media\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Tiffany-and-Co-1960s-Dog-and-Cat-Brooches-215x215.jpg 215w, https:\/\/www.hult.edu\/blog\/media\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Tiffany-and-Co-1960s-Dog-and-Cat-Brooches-100x100.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 345px) 100vw, 345px\" \/><\/h3>\n<h3 style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>What\u2019s a typical day like for you? <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I meticulously research and catalog, connect with fellow enthusiasts, and build relationships with new clients.

Every day brings new pieces, each with a unique story. These jewels require a sharp eye for identification, precise cataloging, and a commitment to sharing them with the world.
