Appraiser, Designer, Gemologist
Diana understands the almost endless nuanced traits that affect the beauty, rarity and quality of colored stones. And while she is constantly creating new items, drawing inspiration from myriad impressions all around her, it's clearly those one-of-a-kind bespoke pieces that bring her the most joy. Her never ending search to learn all about the world of gemstones drew her to earn her Graduate Gemologist (GG) diploma from Gemological Institute of America (GIA). She is an active participant in classes and seminars to hone her knowledge.
Custom Designed Jewelry
Now, as a designer for over two decades, Diana has custom created hundreds of original jewelry items. Each piece is rich with story telling components---the origin of the gemstones, the thought behind the styling, even the architecture of the design itself. These pieces are treasured collectibles to be lovingly cherished by a new generation someday. Because she’s also an expert metalsmith, she understands the movement of earrings, and how a necklace must sit on the wearer. View a few pieces of her custom designed jewelry.
"Each unique stone comes as a story needing to be told - its color, weight, form and shape - all need to be considered...Rings, pins, pendants, bracelets, earrings - her design creations are timeless"
