Cultivé Diamonds (pronounced cul-ta-vee) is the realization of something I’ve dreamed about for years. 

My love for diamonds started when I was a little girl sitting on my Nana’s lap, admiring her extraordinary jewelry collection. She was a career woman who was the owner and editor of our local newspaper, had a Cartier account for nearly 30 years, and bought beautiful jewelry for herself long before it was common for women to do so. She had effortless style, impeccable taste, and she taught me that jewelry could be both meaningful and timeless.

That early fascination eventually became my life’s work. 

I began working in New York City’s Diamond District in the mid-1980s, where I earned my Graduate Gemologist (GG) certification from the Gemological Institute of America. It was there that I developed a deep understanding of diamonds. From the science of grading to recognizing the rare qualities that make a diamond truly exceptional.

Over the past 35 years, my career has taken me across the country and around the world. I've worked in wholesale and retail, buying and merchandising for television jewelry, department stores, independent jewelers, and e-commerce. Each experience deepened my knowledge, expanded my relationships within the industry, and reinforced one simple truth: I love beautiful jewelry and helping people find pieces they'll cherish forever.

Cultivé Diamonds is the culmination of that journey.

I created Cultivé Diamonds to offer a more personal, transparent way to shop for exceptional diamonds, where luxury feels approachable, quality is never compromised, and pricing is honest. Our lab-grown diamonds deliver the same breathtaking beauty and brilliance as mined diamonds, are independently certified, and offer extraordinary value.

Jewelry has brought me joy for as long as I can remember. It is a privilege to share that passion with you, and I look forward to helping you find a piece that celebrates your journey.
