My Story
This is the classic American Dream story.
Back in 1996, I was on my lunch break and stopped by a jewelry store to see my girlfriend, who was the manager. The store was extremely busy when the owner asked if I could help a gentleman looking for a pair of diamond earrings.
Knowing absolutely nothing about diamonds—but wanting to help—I agreed.
After introducing myself and explaining that I wasn’t a jeweler, the gentleman and I began talking about the occasion and looking at several pairs within his budget. One pair clearly stood out. We could both see the difference, and for only a few hundred dollars more, the improvement was remarkable.
We made the decision together.
As the gentleman left, the owner looked at me, smiled, and made me an offer I couldn’t refuse.
I accepted.
What started as a visit to see my girlfriend on my lunch break became a career I never imagined. For nearly 30 years, I had the privilege of owning my own award-winning jewelry store and helping thousands of clients celebrate engagements, anniversaries, birthdays, and life’s most meaningful moments.
Like many small businesses, COVID brought that chapter to an unexpected close. It was time to move on.
After taking some time away to travel and recharge, something unexpected happened. Former clients began calling. Then came referrals from friends and family. They weren’t looking for a jewelry store—they were looking for someone they trusted.
That’s when I realized I didn’t miss owning a retail jewelry store.
I missed helping people find the perfect diamond.
That realization became Your Diamond Hunter.
Instead of reopening a traditional jewelry store, I created a private diamond brokerage built around personal service. By working from a private office instead of an expensive retail showroom, I can focus on what matters most—my clients.
Today, I still approach every client exactly the same way.
We work together.
Whether we’re sitting together in my office or side by side online, we’ll compare diamonds, discuss the differences, answer every question, and find the diamond that best fits your vision and your budget.
There are no sales quotas. No pressure. No rush. Just honest advice, decades of experience, and someone who genuinely enjoys helping people make one of life’s most meaningful purchases.
Every diamond I recommend is independently certified, and every engagement ring is selected or custom designed around the client—not around what’s sitting in a display case.
Helping you make the right decision… together.
You have a friend in the jewelry business.
