Hi! I'm Alexis, and I'm probably more obsessed with diamonds than you need me to be. But that's kind of the point.

I'm a GIA-Educated diamond expert with four certifications (Graduate Diamonds, Graduate Colored Stones, Pearls, and Applied Jewelry Professional). Translation? I literally went to diamond school. Multiple times. On purpose.

I've spent the last 7 years working at the brands you've probably heard of:

• Tiffany & Co. — where I learned that luxury isn't about the blue box, it's about standards so tight you never have to wonder if your diamond is good enough
• Brilliant Earth — where I helped thousands of people navigate lab-grown diamonds (and saw firsthand where the marketplace model fails)
• Rare Carat — where I was Executive Assistant to the CEO and personally closed over $10 million in high-value diamond sales

Oh, and its my exclusive quote in Hello! Magazine reviewing Gwen Stefani's engagement ring. So yeah, I know a thing or two about sparkly rocks.

But Here's the Thing Nobody Talks About

I've personally inspected thousands of diamonds. And you know what I learned?

I watched it happen every single day. Someone would spend weeks building spreadsheets, comparing stones, reading Reddit forums at 2am, trying to decode what "VS1 clarity" actually means in real life.

And they'd still feel uncertain.

Nobody stopped to ask: should average buyers really be expected to compare 10,000 stones they can't tell apart?

 I'm fixing that.

So I Built Something Different

Here's what I kept seeing: when I stepped in with expert guidance—just one clear recommendation backed by real expertise—80% of people bought immediately with complete confidence.

They didn't need more options. They needed someone who actually knew what they were looking for.

So I built 57 Facets to work the way this process should work:

That's it. No comparison shopping. No filter paralysis. No wondering if you're missing something.

Just a knockout ring, selected by someone who's trained their eye on thousands of stones and knows exactly what separates exceptional from "meh."

Why You Can Trust Me (Besides the Four Degrees)

Look, I get it. You don't know me. Why should you trust me to pick one of the most important purchases of your life?

Fair question. Here's why:

The Honest Truth

Most lab-grown retailers are marketplaces showing vendor feeds they've never touched. They offer everything from spectacular stones to mediocre ones and expect you to figure out the difference.

I'm the opposite. I'm a curator, not a marketplace.

I've already filtered for the top-tier stones using standards I learned in luxury retail. I'm choosing between excellent, more excellent, and absolutely knockout—not "maybe good enough" and "slightly better maybe good enough."

And honestly? You shouldn't need a gemology degree to feel good about your ring.

Lucky for you, I already did that part.
