I am a jewelry historian, jewelry expert and collector of period and modern jewel and a purveyor of all things sparkly. I have a romance going on with the legend, language and sentiment behind the pieces and the story. My passion for this has inspired me to pen three books—'My Charmed Life,' a memoir; 'Jewelry's Shining Stars,' a modern jewelry design coffee table book; and 'If These Jewels Could Talk,' an in-depth look at celebrities and the stories behind their legendary jewels on the silver screen and in real life—with a fourth one in the works.
I have written and continue to write for major magazines including Departures, Elite Traveler, Four Seasons Magazine, and thejewelereditor.com. I have also written for newspapers including Newsday and many more online and print publications.
