Chelsea Kovacs-Vandenberg, GIA GG
GIA Graduate Gemologist & Designer
Chelsea is a passionate jewellery designer and graduate gemologist. As the daughter of the owners, Chelsea grew up immersed in the world of gemstones and artistry. What started as a simple love of rock collecting evolved into a deep passion for gemstones. This blossomed into a career that allows her to weave the science behind these geological masterpieces and the love stories and emotions of the couples she works with into every piece of jewellery she creates. Her academic journey led her to Carlsbad, California, where she first studied design and then later returned to earn her Graduate Gemologist certification from GIA, immersing herself in the intricate science behind these remarkable gemstones. Attending the JCK trade show in Vegas each year with Ralph has broadened her design horizons and helped to expand her knowledge of this incredible industry.
What Chelsea loves most about jewellery is its ability to capture a moment in time along with the emotions of that moment. Whether that’s celebrating your love story in the form of an engagement or wedding; celebrating an achievement like a promotion or graduation; celebrating a milestone, like an anniversary or birthday; becoming parents; or even just because! Jewellery even has the power to hold the memory of someone lost. Every time you look at your jewellery it tells a story. Chelsea draws inspiration from her clients’ unique lives, lifestyles, and experiences, crafting pieces that resonate with their individual journeys. Each gemstone is thoughtfully selected to highlight its inherent beauty and history, serving as a central element in her designs. Her goal is to create timeless pieces that reflect both beauty and emotion, that not only adorns, but also celebrates the stories we carry with us.
