A Note on Ethical Diamonds & Qualifications
In 2004 I received my certification from the Gemological Institute of America in both diamond and pearl grading. The ethical sourcing of diamonds, gemstones, and precious metals is very important to me, and I believe in a policy of transparency and dialogue with my customers. All the diamonds I buy and sell are certified by the Kimberley Process, and I also offer alternatives such as lab-created diamonds.
