About PreAdored®
Sustainable luxury, thoughtfully curated.
Our Philosophy
At PreAdored®, we believe the most beautiful pieces are those that have already lived a life. Jewelry is more than adornment—it is a personal archive, shaped by time, memory, and craftsmanship. By giving exceptional pieces a second life, we honor both their history and their future.
Our collections span fine vintage jewelry, estate pieces, and contemporary designs by independent artists. Every item is carefully researched, professionally tested, and selected with intention—so you can wear it with confidence, and pass it on with pride.
What Sets PreAdored® Apart
Expertly Curated
Every piece is individually evaluated for quality, condition, and authenticity.
Professionally Tested
Metals and gemstones are carefully tested to verify composition and integrity.
Sustainability with Substance
Choosing pre-owned reduces waste while preserving craftsmanship worth keeping.
Timeless over Trend-driven
We focus on enduring design, not fleeting fashion.
I founded PreAdored® after decades working with fine jewelry, antiques, and collectibles. Throughout my career, I’ve been drawn to pieces with history, character, and exceptional craftsmanship—objects made to last, and meant to be worn again.
With formal training in gemology and professional affiliations including the GIA Alumni Association and the International Gem Society, I personally evaluate each piece before it becomes part of the collection. Every item is carefully researched, professionally tested, and selected with the same discernment I would use for my own collection.
My goal has always been simple: to offer jewelry that is honest, beautiful, and worthy of a second life.
