About Jewels Abound

Jewels Abound is the jewelry blog I would have killed to discover when I started out in the fine jewelry and watch industry and knew next to nothing about this world.

Nice to meet you!

Want to know what the biz is all about? Curious about what goes on behind the scenes? So was I. That’s where Jewels Abound comes in. I cover the best of the best of fine jewelry and gemstones, what it’s like to be a millennial working in sales while the retail industry is being turned on its head, jewelry tourism, and the very personal role jewelry plays in people’s lives all around the world.

Jewels Abound is also for the ones on the other side of the counter — the customers. If you need advice on how to buy a diamond engagement ring, are wondering about the quality factors of different gemstones, or want to know what to look for in a high end jewelry store, I plan to explore these topics as well.

Thanks for coming along for the ride.
