Jennifer Ganda is the Sales Manager for www.oneofakindjewels.com and Store Manager for Craig Evan Small Antique & Estate Jewelry. Born in Peoria, Illinois, Jennifer's enthusiasm for antique jewelry was initially inspired by her great-grandmother, who was a passionate collector of Art Deco jewelry. Jennifer developed an interest in fine jewelry at an early age, and began working in a jewelry store in Peoria while still in high school. After graduation, Jennifer decided to pursue a career in the jewelry industry and moved to Los Angeles, California, to study at the Prestigious Gemological Institute of America (GIA), then headquartered in Santa Monica, California, where she earned her degree as a Graduate Jeweler Gemologist. Jennifer's expertise in evaluating diamonds and colored gemstones earned her an invitation to join the GIA as a grader in their laboratory, one of the youngest GIA graduates ever to be hired in such an esteemed position. In 1996, after five years with Gem Trade Laboratory, Jennifer left to join Craig Evan Small Antique & Estate Jewelry, as Store Manager. In addition to her responsibilities at the store, Jennifer also oversees the company's website and coordinates all phone and internet sales. During her tenure at Craig Evan Small, Jennifer has become an expert in Art Deco and Edwardian jewelry. She has had the privilege of buying and selling countless pieces produced by famous jewelers such as Tiffany, Cartier, Van Cleef & Arpels, and Oscar Heyman. In addition to her training at GIA, Jennifer also possesses extensive experience in jewelry design and frequently works with clients to help redesign their existing pieces. Jennifer's contacts in the industry allow her to outsource virtually any gemstone or fine timepiece. If you are looking for an engagement ring or a special piece of jewelry, Jennifer would be delighted to assist you in finding the perfect piece in your budget range.
