A great jeweler is a trained professional. In the mid 1980’s, I moved to Santa Monica, California for about a year and trained at the Gemological Institute of America in their headquarters. While there, I attained the degrees of Graduate Gemologist, Degree in Colored Stone Grading, and Degree in Pearl Grading While no longer active, in the American Gem Society and Independent Jewelers Organization, I also attained degrees under their requirements.
I recently purchased an engagement ring from Marshall's Jewelers and couldn't be happier with the experience. The staff was incredibly helpful and attentive, guiding me through the entire process and making sure I found the perfect ring. The quality and craftsmanship are outstanding. Highly recommend for anyone looking for beautiful jewelry and exceptional service!
