Our Lifetime fascination with Gemstones
One of our founder's first memories as a small child was visiting his Grandmother. To amuse him, his Grandma shared her Jewelry box filled with fashion pins and costume rings sparkling with magical gems flashing hot colored light. This would ignite for him a fascination with Gemstones that would last throughout his career.
Terry has worked in the Jewelry trade since 1973 as a Silversmith, Jewelry repair person, Salesman, Diamond buyer, Estate Jewelry buyer, and Jewelry appraiser. Terry achieved his Graduate Gemologist Degree from The Gemological Institute of America in 1983.
Our Founders Story:
Terry has been happily involved in the Diamond business for over forty years. Buying, selling, appraising, brokering, and even auctioning single Diamonds that were sold at prices exceeding seven figures!
Terry is expanding his services to help his individual clients, Jewelry stores, Pawn Dealers, Insurance companies, and Probate Attorneys fulfill their jewelry related needs.
