Louis's latest project - LOUISVALENTINE.org is an expert, independent non-profit organization whose mission is to maintain a fair, just, and informative marketplace to rate and review jewelry and watch brands. Louis assembled a team of certified gemologist and appraisers to test manufacturers' products through a comprehensive set of standards.

The group is not affiliated with any jewelry or watch manufacturers.

"I founded LouisValentine.org to give people peace of mind when buying expensive keepsakes. How does one know if a brand will hold value? If the craftsmanship is really credible? When buying jewelry or watches there is little guidance on how one brand or style compares to another. I found my friends and family buying things simply because the item was on sale, or maybe the style seemed fashionable. But six months later they were disappointed with their selection, finding another style or brand might have been a better choice overall. That is why I founded LouisValentine.org drawing upon my years of experience in the jewelry and diamond trade business, to give people a fair and comparative rating on all brands and styles - give the consumer an edge in selecting these valuable keepsakes."louisvalentine.org
