Peace of Mind
Private Gemologist & Personal Shopper
Buying jewelry for someone special can be confusing and intimidating. You want to find the perfect piece they’ll truly love and appreciate and not just accept because you chose it for them. And you also want to make sure you’re getting the best value and quality for your investment.
This is where I come in!
I confidently shop on your behalf, seek out a selection of jewelry from my trusted sources, and do the research to make the process easy and convenient for you.
I’ll send photos and details of each item I believe might be a good choice. As a gemologist and experienced jewelry professional, I have very high standards and will choose only pieces which meet both our expectations.
Let's go on a treasure hunt together!
Jewelry Box Makeover! You've organized your closet, what about your jewelry box?
You may have a box of jewelry items you haven’t worn in years and avoid sorting it because it seems too daunting. How do you know what’s fine jewelry and what’s costume? Once it’s sorted, then what? Imagine if this was a fun project instead of a dreaded task?
We can work together to sort through it to make decisions on exactly what to do with each piece. Keep what you love, and consider repairing, restyling, or selling pieces. I’ll help you outline a strategy and organize your pieces, take note of everything you own, and make sure all items have professional appraisals and valuations.
Jewelry Repairs & RESTORATION
Keep your Jewelry in Good Repair & Condition
Fine jewelry is meant to be worn often to enjoy its beauty and special meaning. Jewelry is not indestructible though, and it requires periodic inspection, maintenance, and upkeep by a qualified jewelry pro.
Invite me to methodically and respectfully inspect each of your fine jewelry items. I’ll make recommendations on how to proceed with repairs, resizing, or restyling and restoring. Keep your jewelry like new and enjoy it for decades to come!
Family Heirlooms
Inherited Jewelry
You’ve just inherited family jewelry and you have no idea where to start or how to determine its quality or value.
This is where my services as a Private Gemologist makes the process easy for you. I have literally sorted thousands of boxes of jewelry – with just a few items or hundreds of pieces – to identify its contents and divide it into fine vs. costume pieces to determine quality and value. I’ll offer expert advice to make it easier when deciding whether to divide it amongst family members, or to donate, liquidate, repair and restore, or redesign your pieces.
Out With the Old, In With the New
Selling Your Jewelry
Do you have pieces of fine jewelry that have been sitting in your jewelry box or safety deposit box for years because you just weren’t sure what to do with it?
I can help make the process of liquidating your jewelry a lot less daunting. We’ll go through your items to determine value, pricing, and what you can expect throughout the process.
I can either direct you to a few trusted jewelers who you can visit to get an offer on your jewelry, or I can personally and discreetly sell your jewelry through my own network of reputable jewelers, on-line dealers, private buyers, estate dealers, and other related companies. I’ll maximize your potential profit and reach the right buyers as efficiently as possible.
Valuations and Liquidation
Estates & Trusts with Fine Jewelry Assets
If you’re in a position as the trustee, executor, or attorney for an estate or trust, I can assist you in the process such as identification, valuation, and liquidation of the fine jewelry assets.
As a Private Gemologist, I have extensive knowledge and experience in managing fine jewelry estates whether it’s a single item or hundreds of items.
I can perform inventory documentation, inspection and testing of the jewelry, and review estate/trust documentation and appraisals either onsite or at my home laboratory.

Jewelry Appraisals & Valuation
Enjoy your jewelry! Make sure you’re protected against any loss or damage by keeping a detailed appraisal and valuation of your jewelry on file with your insurance agent. As a GIA Graduate Gemologist, I have performed expert appraisals for 30+ years. I do have expertise and competency to perform most jewelry appraisals and evaluations of your fine jewelry.
If there are unique or special and rare items which are outside my scope of knowledge and practice, I have a trusted network of qualified appraisers I will consult with and refer this appraisal work to.
Since I know what constitutes a professional appraisal, I will review your existing appraisals and recommend updating the description details and values, if needed, or recommend new appraisals for those items which do not have an existing one.

Online Purchase Consultation
Everyone shops online, even for fine jewelry, but it can be risky. How do you ensure you’re buying from a reputable company and getting the best value?
As your Private Gemologist, I provide expert consultation before you commit. I’ll advise on quality and value, review GIA certifications, check return policies, and help negotiate pricing.
Upon arrival, I’ll inspect and appraise the jewelry or gemstone to verify quality. If you need sizing, setting, or custom design, I can recommend top jewelers and designers.
