Our Story

FROM THE CARIBBEAN TO THE COUNTER

I have always had a love for beautiful things. Maybe it came from growing up surrounded by the natural wonders of the French Caribbean, the light, the color, the way the ocean catches the sun. Or maybe it came from growing up in the jewelry business itself, raised by two parents who were both jewelers and who taught me to see the difference between something pretty and something extraordinary.

Either way, jewelry found me early and never let go.

A JEWELER'S DAUGHTER, A JEWELER'S EYE

Long before Agent Jewel existed, I was the person friends and family called when they needed a piece of jewelry. Not from a store, from someone who understood stones, who could spot quality in a second, and who took the search personally. For years, I worked as a personal jewelry agent, hunting down the very best diamonds and precious gems for the people I cared about. It never felt like work.

But I kept running into the same problem: the traditional jewelry industry made it nearly impossible to get real luxury at a fair price. The markups, the middlemen, the opaque supply chains, none of it made sense to me. I knew what these pieces actually cost to make. I knew what people were really paying for. And I knew it could be better.

THE MOMENT EVERYTHING CHANGED

In 2018, I turned my passion into a business and founded Agent Jewel. My mission was simple: use my background, my keen eye for detail, and my direct relationships with master craftsmen to bring truly exceptional fine jewelry to people, without the inflated price tags.

Then lab grown diamonds changed the game entirely. Physically, chemically, and optically identical to mined stones, but without the old-world supply chain driving up the cost. When I held my first lab grown diamond, I didn't see a compromise, I saw the future. Same fire, same forever, same breathtaking beauty. Just a smarter, more honest path to get there.

That's when Agent Jewel became what it is today: a destination for real luxury jewelry, solid gold, certified lab grown diamonds, exceptional craftsmanship, at prices that actually make sense.

DELICATE, REFINED, AND BUILT TO LAST

I've been described by others as "delicate and refined," and I'd like to think that shows in every piece we offer. Each design reflects the balance I've always been drawn to elegance without excess, presence without pretension. Every stone is hand-selected, every setting is crafted in solid 14k or 18k gold, and every piece is made to be worn and loved for a lifetime.

Now based in Miami with my husband and three sons, I bring you the polished product of a lifetime spent in jewelry, my cultivated eye, blended with the fashion and design trends of today.

Thank you for visiting Agent Jewel and taking the time to learn more about us. I can't wait to help you find your next forever piece.
