FAQ

  • I act as your personal fine jewelry advocate, helping you navigate the vast array of jewelry retail and wholesale to ensure you are buying your pieces at the best price with the best quality.

  • Not at all. The process begins with Taking Stock, where we simply examine your existing pieces and discuss your style, preferences, values, and budget. Book a consultation to begin.

  • Yes. I often work directly with spouses or other family members to ensure a piece is sourced and ready well in advance of a milestone or gifting occasion. I am happy to do one-off gifts, but this will work best if we have completed a Collection Audit together first.

  • I pull from a wide range of sources, including private jewelers, independent designers, vintage sellers, and wholesale manufacturers. As a fifth generation jeweler, I have deep connections in the industry and only work with the most trusted partners.

  • Yes. If we can't find the perfect piece, I work with specifically selected private jewelers and wholesale manufacturers to bring your custom piece to life.

  • I charge a transparent audit and styling fee upfront to begin our work together. A portion of this fee is applied as a credit toward your first purchase. The remainder of my compensation comes from a standard commission from the source or a small markup from wholesale. You will never pay more than the listed retail price.

  • I view myself as a lifelong advisor. My goal is to build a meaningful collection with you over time, ensuring every acquisition is a strategic purchase that reflects your evolving style and life milestones. Because I am an advisor rather than a traditional retailer, I always have your interests at heart. I would rather help you save on individual purchases so that we have the resources to build a meaningful, world-class collection over time.

  • The word “Collective” represents a bridge between my heritage as the great-granddaughter of M.B. Zale, the founder of Zales Jewelers, and my extensive network of global designers, master craftspeople, and other industry stakeholders. I bring together the best of the best in the industry so that my clients have access to jewelry that will bring them joy for a lifetime.

  • I only work with partners who produce the highest quality pieces; if this applies to you, please reach out! If it’s a fit, we can discuss partnership opportunities such as exclusive trunk shows, collection placements, and custom collaborations.
