Jewelry is in my blood. I hail from the Wolverine State of Michigan, where I earned my chops helping run my parents’ specialty jewelry and antiques gallery. With them I was fortunate in my youth to travel worldwide and discover one-of-a-kind treasures while honing my eye for the rare and exceptional. All this instilled in me admiration for the old as well as new, the classic plus unconventional. Moreover, my upbringing garnered me a diamond-tough work ethic, deep respect for the customer, and passion for superior craftsmanship. As well as a B.A. in Criminal Law from Northeastern University (you read that right), I hold the coveted Graduate of Diamond Degree from the Gemological Institute of America. After seven intense years in sales and management at the House of Cartier, I fulfilled my entrepreneurial dream by founding Exclusive Jewels Gallery. Subsequently, I transitioned to my concierge jewelry service anchored in the North Shore, enabling me to provide comparable top standards but with greater flexibility and efficiency. I strive to build long-lasting partnerships with my clients and have them consider me their dedicated private jeweler.
