Bespoke Jewelry Consultations and Independent Appraisals

 

Where are you located?

I am a gemologist and jewelry appraiser based in the Cleveland, Ohio area. I work by appointment and come to you, meeting in your home, office or locale of choice. In certain circumstances and at my discretion, I make my private showroom and office available to clients for appointments.

 

The Jewel That Got Away

Have you been haunted by a piece of jewelry you wanted but did not buy? I am happy to put it on my Wish List and keep it in mind every time I am sourcing jewelry for my antique and vintage shop, Marika Gems. It is certainly helpful to have a photo to start with, but if all you have is the memory, I can work from a description as well. If the item is truly one-of-a-kind, we can discuss options for crafting one for you from scratch!

 

Custom Jewelry

If you are looking to design an engagement ring or other custom piece of jewelry or rework an inherited piece or pieces into a more modern design, I can help make this process easy and enjoyable! The first step is to meet with me to discuss your ideas. My private jeweler will then customize sketches and design options based on your input. Next, we will source any additional materials and gems required to complete your vision, taking your feedback every step of the way so that the result is the jewel of your dreams!
