Publications & Media Features

 

Over the years, my articles and expert commentary on pearls, gemstones, and jewelry have been published in magazines, online publications, and industry media.

As a certified gemologist and certified jewelry appraiser based in Montreal, I share professional insights on pearl quality and selection, gemstone education, jewelry care, and the artistry behind meaningful jewelry design. I also write about fascinating jewelry history, notable gemstones, and current developments and trends within the pearl industry.

This page features selected publications and media contributions that reflect my expertise and passion for fine pearl jewelry.

Whether discussing how to choose high-quality pearls, understand pearl grading, redesign heirloom jewelry, or appreciate the beauty of one-of-a-kind creations, my goal is always to help readers make informed and confident jewelry decisions.

  • Baroque and keshi pearls
  • Jewelry care and maintenance
  • Custom jewelry and jewelry redesign
  • Gemstone and jewelry expertise
