I am a native New Yorker but escaped the bitter winters in the early 2000s in favor of the Florida sunshine. While growing up in New York, my parents owned a small hardware store. It was during this time that I saw what hard work really was, and I was fortunate to experience how my parents made each and every person that walked into their store feel like family.

With an unwavering drive and a desire to be the best for my family, I decided to  shift gears in my 20-year jewelry career, and steer my talents in a new direction. It was a difficult decision; however, the exciting vision of bringing you a daily dose of jewelry truths, the coolest trends, and my professional insider tips and tricks on how to shop for diamonds made it a no-brainer.

My love of diamonds and jewelry was born serendipitously while in college. What started out as a part-time job working at a family-owned jewelry store in Gainesville, blossomed into a 20-year career in the industry, allowing me to see some of the world’s most beautiful jewelry and shake hands with incredible talents.

I have played an integral role in many special moments in the lives of countless clients. I truly love every connection I make with people; it’s the best part about it all. I have laughed and cried with more strangers than most people do in a lifetime.

Today, I am a professional businesswoman, entrepreneur, as well as a jewelry and fashion guru.
