My Story

I am a fourth generation professional jeweler/gemologist/designer, a passionate educator and an avid human rights advocate. I am interested in studying people as much as diamonds and precious gems. That is why I am a certified/graduate gemologist and an academically studied sociologist.

I participatie in many business forums and occasionally teach as an adjunct professor at the Fashion Institute of Technology (SUNY) of New York.
