“From my very first conversation with Katerina, it was obvious that she was passionate about the world of jewelry and had an immense amount of knowledge to offer.
I easily could have walked into any commercial jeweler, but in no way would I expect the level of care and attention, that I was fortunate to have received from Katerina. ”
