Meet Our Founder

I was first introduced to the jewelry industry when I started working with a gentleman who wanted to open an independent jewelry store to cater to private clients. As an assistant, I quickly learned the ins and outs of the jewelry business but was eager to learn more. I decided to educate myself in New York City at the Gemological Institute of America, where I eventually became a graduate gemologist. After that, I moved to Los Angeles where I was mentored by a few industry professionals, and soon became the manager of a store in Beverly Hills. I worked there for nearly five years before I decided to move back home and open my own company, JB Jewelry. I have now been successfully in business for four years.

I am the proud mother of three small children, they bring so much joy to my life and have given me so much purpose outside of my career. In my personal time, I can be found spending time with family and friends and staying active exploring all the wonderful things Colorado has to offer.
