My Story

Celebrating my 34th years in the jewelry industry, I started at a very young age of 14, worked after school as an apprentice at my brother-in-law’s family owned factory where I learned machine manufacturing of jewelry. I also became a diamond setter which I enjoyed the art of pave-setting for over five years. As I grew older, I eventually started full time in the jewelry industry.

In 1992, I earned my Graduate Gemologist degree; I later became an Instructor at GIA which was back in Santa Monica, CA.

In the 1990s, I traveled around the world in search of amazing and rare gems, and as a consultant and gemological trainer to many large and reputable international companies.

Switzerland, Geneva and Lausanne – Monaco, Monte Carlo – Italy, Venice, Vicenza, Florence, Milan and Rome – Greece, Athens – UAE, Dubai & Abu Dhabi – Saudi Arabia, Jeddah, Riyadh – Muscat, Oman – Qatar, Doha – Japan, Tokyo

My career expanded further towards internationally based establishments as a world renowned gemologist, which gave me the honor to accomplish extraordinary pieces with extremely rare gems to the King of Saudi Arabia and the Sultan of Brunei with Mouawad.

In 1997, I was a brand ambassador to Bulgari International. In 2003 I was a jeweler to celebrities with Mouawad, a partnership with Victoria Secret’s multi-million dollar Fantasy Bra and the branding of Heidi Klum’s jewelry collection.
