What Anne Brings To The Conversation
40 YEARS OF VALUATION EXPERIENCE AT THE HIGHEST LEVELS
GIA Graduate Gemologist
The most recognized credential in the diamond and gemstone industry worldwide. Anne’s GIA training gives her the scientific foundation to evaluate stones accurately and communicate their value with precision.
Fellow of the Gem-A
The Gemological Association of Great Britain was founded in 1908 — the oldest gemological institution in the world. As Executive Director of Gem-A America, Anne helped build the organization’s presence across the United States and internationally.
Four Decades of Experience
Anne has evaluated jewelry for private estates, financial institutions, government offices and families across Louisiana for over 40 years. There are very few situations involving jewelry valuation that she has not encountered and navigated successfully.

Diamond Sourcing at the Source
ANTWERP · CHINA · TUCSON · THE WORLD’S GREAT GEM MARKETS
THE KNOWLEDGE THAT COMES FROM BEING THERE
Anne has sourced diamonds and gemstones at the world’s most important gem markets — Antwerp, Tucson, the international wholesale networks that most local jewelers never access. That firsthand knowledge of where stones come from, how they are graded and what they are genuinely worth is what separates an informed evaluation from a guess.
She has traveled with Gem-A to China to explore gemological opportunities, worked with gemology schools across the United States and has been at the center of the industry’s education efforts for decades.
When Anne evaluates your jewelry she is drawing on a knowledge base that was built at the source — not from a textbook.
