After years of building The Concierge Gemologist, I’m proud to share a major milestone:
We’ve merged with Vincent's Jewelers.

What does this mean for you? The same personalized, education-first approach you trust—now enhanced by a full team of professionals who share that same commitment to quality and service.

💎And to celebrate, I’m giving away gemstones. 💎

Visit us at Vincent’s, ask for “The Concierge Gemologist,” and receive a free stone from my personal collection. I’ll offer this gift through the month of August.

I’m grateful for your support and excited for what’s ahead.

Sterling silver with inlay of turquoise, red jasper, mother of pearl, and onyx. Earrings weigh 11.36g, necklace weighs 35.48g, and the necklace is about 18” with an adjustable chain for easy fit.
It has that strong Southwest/modern vibe with great color contrast and a nice, substantial feel on the neck without being too heavy.

$350 for the set, shipped anywhere in USA. Comment “MINE” or message me for a quick try‑on video.

Vintage 14k Typewriter Charm – Ready for Your Story

This little 14k yellow gold typewriter charm is one of those pieces that just *feels* like it’s waiting for the right person. It’s detailed, dimensional, and set with rubies, sapphires, and sweet little pearls across the “keys.”

My favorite part: there’s an empty space designed for a stone to be set, so you can add a birthstone or meaningful gem and turn it into a truly personal piece. Imagine gifting this to a writer, journalist, or typewriter lover with *their* stone set into it – instant heirloom.

$800

Details:
- Approx. 7.56 g solid 14k yellow gold
- Rubies, sapphires, and pearls already set
- One open space just waiting for a birthstone or accent stone
- Vintage charm, perfect for a bracelet or on a chain as a pendant

If this speaks to you (or to someone you love), comment “INTERESTED” and I’ll reply with stone-setting options, and delivery/shipping details.
