I have eleven years of experience in the jewelry industry from retail sales, management, and appraisals. I am a Graduate Gemologist from the Gemological Institue of America since 2008. I recently worked at an AGS accredited store in which I obtained the title - Certifed Gemologist Appraiser. 

I graduated from my hometown university - Auburn University- with a Bachlors degree in Business Administration in 2009.

I work out of a small shop in Old Towne Daphne, Al.

The shop is open for events, appointments, and posted Holiday Hours. 

I carry local handcrafted jewelry featuring the Island Collection, Handcrafted necklaces, and most recently added " A Girl with a Pearl" . I also can assist with engagement rings and wedding bands.
