International high-jewelry houses
For years, I lived and worked across the seven seas, representing international high-jewelry houses and collections from New York, Australia and beyond, working privately with clients from around the world.

International Diamond & Gemstone Specialist · GIA Jewelry Design & AJP Graduate
Fifteen years across the international world of fine jewelry, diamonds and exceptional gemstones—from luxury jewelry and private clientele to lecturing, global sourcing and the international diamond trade.
Today, that experience comes together through FLAVÉ in Marbella: private bespoke jewelry, exceptional diamond and gemstone sourcing, collectible and investment-grade stones, and exclusive jewelry experiences.

The Journey
Crossing the Atlantic marked the beginning of a 15-year journey through the world of fine jewelry, diamonds and exceptional gemstones.
Guest lecturing
My career evolved from high-jewelry sales into guest lecturing on diamonds and gemstones, private consultations, seminars, exclusive presentations, Captain’s events and fashion shows internationally, including China. Along the way, I worked with extraordinary stones—from Australian opals and pink diamonds to rare coloured gemstones and exceptional diamonds.This international experience taught me not only about jewelry, but about the people who acquire it—the different cultures, motivations and emotions behind an important purchase.
GIA Jewelry Design
My practical experience was complemented by professional education through GIA and IGI, including graduating in GIA Jewelry Design and Applied Jewelry Professional, before my career expanded into the international B2B diamond and gemstone trade.
B2B diamond and gemstone trade
There, I entered the other side of the industry: global sourcing, international pricing, manufacturers, jewelers, suppliers and the market behind the finished jewel.
This international experience taught me not only about jewelry, but about the people who acquire it—the different cultures, motivations and emotions behind an important purchase.

BEYOND THE JEWEL
Education
Education has been part of my career for many years, and today I am bringing it to Marbella through private diamond and gemstone experiences, educational events and consultations.
Experiences
These experiences are designed to take clients beyond the jewelry counter—to understand diamonds, coloured gemstones, natural versus lab-grown, certification, rarity, pricing and the realities of the international market.
Purpose
FLAVÉ will also continue supporting charitable events and selected causes. A dedicated collection is being developed with this purpose, with 5% of sales to be donated to selected charitable initiatives.
For me, fine jewelry should bring together beauty, knowledge, individuality and purpose.
That is the world I am creating through FLAVÉ.
WHAT I DO NOW
FLAVÉ
FLAVÉ brings these two worlds together: an understanding of the person acquiring the jewel and an insider’s understanding of the international market behind it.
Completely Bespoke Piece
Each commission begins with the individual—not with an existing design.
Private Sourcing
Private sourcing and guidance around rarity, provenance, certification, quality and international market considerations.
Private Jewelry and Gemstone Service
Built around personal access, expertise and discretion.
Designed Beyond Trends
PERSONAL
Jewelry that reflects the individual.
TIMELESS

CONSIDERED
Thoughtful materials, proportions and details.
For me, fine jewelry should bring together beauty, knowledge, individuality and purpose.
FLAVÉ
OUR CRAFT
FLAVÉ COLLECTIONS
FLAVÉ collections are equally personal. They are inspired by oceans I have crossed, places I have discovered, people who have influenced me and defining moments experienced around the world—translated into natural gemstones, natural diamonds and lab-grown diamonds according to the story and intention of each design.
Every FLAVÉ piece is expertly crafted in Europe.
PRIVATE CREATIONS
A More Personal Way to Create
For pieces that deserve a more individual approach, FLAVÉ offers private consultations and bespoke creations shaped around your story, preferences and personal style.
