I should probably give up whatever else I'm doing and just be the spokesmodel for the Opal industry. @gemcollector did us proud with this post. Had to share!!! Would like to meet @gemcollecther IRL. Hope she visits Sonoma for a #girlsweekend or a bike ride or something. Kids always welcome.

This bi-color tourmaline has been sitting in my jewelry box for a while because I knew I wanted to do something special with it. I purchased it from my friends, @gemcollector & @gemcollecther 100% Ltd, and it was cut by @gemcollector , so I wanted the setting to feel just as meaningful as the stone itself.

@blisslau and I talked through a few ideas before landing on her ✨Centered Ring ✨ design, crafted in @fairminedofficial gold.

Her meaning behind it really resonated with me: being centered, finding balance within yourself, and being held. The “hands” holding the stone are a beautiful reminder of the people, experiences, and moments that help keep us grounded.

I’m so happy to finally wear this little piece of friendship, thoughtful design, and intention every day. 💚💗✨

I meant to share this months ago, but better late than never. ✨

A heartfelt thank you to Sarin and the @jckevents team for welcoming me as a guest at their table for this year’s 24 Karat Club Gala. It was an absolutely beautiful evening and a wonderful opportunity to celebrate our industry alongside so many familiar faces and inspiring leaders.

As I pack my bags for JCK Las Vegas, it feels fitting to revisit this special night. Grateful for the relationships, conversations, and community that make this industry what it is.

See you in Vegas.💞

Last weekend at the Ritz in Half Moon Bay looked like a postcard, and as always, @jewelersmutual gave me the space to slow down and be fully present in it.

Somewhere between the ocean air, long conversations with people who understand this industry at the highest level, and moments of just being still, I realized how different life feels when you intentionally create space for yourself.

This Jewelers Mutual retreat hit differently this year. Not because of where I am in business, but because of where I am in life.

For the first time in years, I’m not running from one deadline to the next. I’m not squeezing in creativity between client meetings. I’m actually living… traveling, spending time with my family, reconnecting with myself, and remembering why I fell in love with this industry in the first place.

And the truth is, none of this would be possible without you.

Every client who trusted me with your engagement ring, your heirloom redesign, your most meaningful pieces… you didn’t just support a business. You created the space for me to experience a life I used to only dream about.

That’s not lost on me. Not for a second.

This hiatus has been equal parts soft life and hard reflection. Growth doesn’t always look like scaling. Sometimes it looks like slowing down long enough to realign.

And I can feel it… something is shifting.

I’ll be returning with more clarity, Clearer. More intentional. More aligned with the life I actually want to live, not just the business I built.

And when I return, it won’t just be a continuation.

It’ll be an evolution.

Something new is coming. 🤍

Blessed and grateful to be in rooms like this.

@jewelersmutual
Built the space. Held the room. Set the tone.

This weekend in Half Moon Bay, alongside my @blackinjewelrycoalition family,
we gathered in conversation that felt both necessary and transformative.

Grateful for the wisdom shared, the perspectives exchanged, and the intention behind it all.

This is how the industry evolves.
The conversation continues.

My very first time attending the 24K Club of the City of New York Dinner… an especially special night for the 120+ year old club as it returned to the Waldorf Astoria following its 7 year renovation. Thank you @jewelersmutual & @jennifermarkas for inviting me as your guest.

Such an incredible experience to celebrate with so many friends from the jewelry industry.

Jewels were so nice that I decided to wear them twice. ❤️ @mahnazcollection & @larkspurandhawk
