The Story Behind the Stones #3 - Loose green tourmaline
I was contacted to help create a new piece of jewelry for a vivid green tourmaline that my client's husband had given to his mother years ago. While discussing a few options, the concept of adding diamonds came up, and within minutes, a photo of an unworn heart that had belonged to my client's late mother was sent to my desk-top via email... "Can we use any of these?" YOU BET!
Over the next few weeks the stones were removed, a design was chosen, and her new pendant - with my signature enhancer - is now worn in many different ways....
I am a jewelry designer and entrepreneur. My custom designs are versatile, elegant, and always reflective of their new owner. I quickly grasp what setting will best suit my client’s current lifestyle and needs. Whether contemporary or traditional, I find or create “the perfect setting” for heirloom and new jewelry alike.
For over twenty years I have cultivated relationships with the best diamond and pearl distributors in the business, as well as premiere estate dealers. I love the concept of creating new jewelry with stones that have a story. Each piece of jewelry I create with a client has a story - whether using an existing stone, finding an antique or new stone, an heirloom either continues or begins.
Before starting The Perfect Setting I worked in the investment banking industry; first at Morgan Stanley, then at JP Morgan where I was a Vice President in the Compliance Department. I left the banking industry to stay home with my children, and soon after co-founded an accessories and gift company, which I later expanded on my own to include jewelry.
Working in the jewelry business is a dream come true! I look forward to meeting you and your jewelry soon!
