📣I will be expanding my collaboration in 2024 with the talented team at Hill & Co. as a Principal Consultant, contributing to the growth and merchandising needs of Hill & Co.'s global client portfolio.

I've been fortunate to witness the remarkable growth of Elle Hill and her team in recent years, serving as their Merchandising Expert since 2022. It was a true honor when Elle invited me to step into the role of Principal Consultant, further expanding my contribution to this dynamic team.

Hill & Co. has ambitious growth plans for the year, and the addition of Donatella Zappieri, bringing her incredible experience and glamor from Italy, adds another layer of global jewelry business expertise to our team.

What distinguishes Hill & Co. is our collective expertise, ensuring that we have the perfect solution for every industry challenge you may encounter.

I will continue my work at both FACEts Jewelry Consulting and LuxeRox, and I am thrilled to apply the skills and experience from growing these two personal and established businesses to contribute to Hill & Co.'s mission of fostering growth for diamond, gemstone, and jewelry businesses in 2024 and beyond.

Reflecting on my college days at the Fashion Institute of Technology always brings back the exhilarating memory of being the Show Captain and leading a team of student volunteers during New York Fashion Week🧵🪡

Throw back to 2000, I was only 19 years old when my local newspaper featured an article about my experience at what was then known as ‘7th on 6th’ Fashion Week in Bryant Park. While the headline may no longer be relevant, and despite the changes in my appearance (grey hairs now and not-so-fresh face), one thing remain constant: the continuous evolution of trends and fashion.

The skills I acquired during my early days as a Merchandising Major at FIT continue to shape my approach in both of my businesses, FACEts Jewelry Consulting and LuxeRox. Attention to detail, analytics, logistics, adaptability, effective communication, and above all, a commitment to staying atop this ever-evolving industry have been my guiding forces as a Buyer, Planner, and Merchandising Consultant for the trade. I’m excited about the learning and challenges that lie ahead in 2024!

A few takeaways I jotted down during the State of the Art Jewelry Summit at Harvard University last month.

Which one is profound to you?

Renowned Scientists, Engineering & Geochemistry Professors, along with Jewelry Industry Leaders, Designers & Miners came together to discuss the responsibilities we have towards a low-carbon economy and how to take action.

We need to do better and have Sustainable Development Goals(SDG) in place to influence consumers’ behaviors towards a more viable and equitable industry and planet 🌎
