RETAIL BUYING CONSULTATION
I will walk you through the confusing maze of buying an engagement ring or any other big, jewelry purchase, so you can buy with confidence.

I was a jewelry lover long before I was an educated expert. My goal is to develop life-long relationships based on trust, communication and respect. I will love your glittering treasures almost as much as you do and will care for them as if they are my own. I understand how much a new gift from a loved one or that diamond engagement ring that your grandfather gave to your grandmother during World War II means to you and your family. Jewelry is beauty and adornment, but it is also love, promises and history.

Whether you need a Replacement Value Appraisal to insure a newly acquired piece, a Fair Market Value Estate Appraisal on a loved heirloom that has been in your family for generations or just expertise before making a large retail purchase, this process can be done in a timely manner in my office or at a conveniently located jewelry partner near you. I understand the necessity of trusting a gemological expert before you place your beloved pieces in their hands.
