I am a 4th generation Jeweler, a Registered Jeweler and Certified Gemologist with the AGS, a Graduate Gemologist earned in residence from the GIA and a personal property Appraiser specializing in diamonds, jewelry, and fine watches. My experience has privileged me to represent American jewelers at the invitation of De Beers, hosting a radio talk program as the fine jewelry and repair expert and speaking at local high schools and universities on subjects from history and lore of gemstones to the interrelationships of fine jewelry and fashion. My travels through the fine jewelry industry include buying trips across the globe attempting to put forth superlative value to my clients. Paramount is not only being an expert in diamonds, natural gemstones, and fine jewelry but putting forth an extraordinary luxury experience. It matters not what the expenditure is, but that the recipient, and the giver, feel special, their individual needs served.Specialties: Diamonds, natural colored gemstones, fine timepieces, finished jewelry and sales training. Further, I am an appraiser, not only cognizant in putting an appropriate value to jewelry but am active in the buying and selling of jewelry, vitally important to comprehending true market value.
