About

I have been in the jewelry business for over 30 years having had stores in  La Jolla,  El Paseo, Palm Desert and for the last 4 years in Oceanside, CA.  I am a GIA (Gemological Institute of America) Santa Monica graduate and professional jewelry appraiser.

I have dealt with the estates of many celebrities such as Mary Pickford & Raymond Burr.  One of the most exciting estates were the pieces from the  Duchess of Windsor’s personal collection in Geneva Switzerland in 1987.

My jewelry interests started early in my life with relatives giving me pieces from their collections.  After  graduation from University of California Berkeley in 1971 I opened  my  first shop on  “Antique Row”,  Adams Ave. That little store  sparked my passion for diamonds &  fine jewelry.

Today I acquire estates, conduct estate sales and resell the jewelry, antiques and collectibles in my store on the coast.

I am a believer in the old adage that “diamonds are a girl’s best friend’.  As an incurable romantic I specialize in diamond engagement rings.

Oceanside, CA is a military town. We take pride in serving the  men and women of our armed forces. I am particularly fond of diamonds because they can capture the moment and make it last forever.  I am passionate when it comes to finding the right piece of jewelry for the right person at a great price.
