ABOUT
New York-based consultant Deirdre Lally is a jewelry and gemstone specialist. Lally advises discerning clients on the selection and purchase of fine and antique jewelry. Demystifying the somewhat daunting process of buying jewelry, she makes the experience effortless and enjoyable while maximizing value. As a graduate gemologist from the Gemological Institute of America (GIA), she offers tremendous knowledge, expertise and impeccable standards of quality.
Purchasing a piece of fine jewelry, particularly an engagement ring, can be time-consuming and stressful. Lally guides clients through the entire process providing unsurpassed quality, value, convenience and personalized service. Clients are confident that they are not only acquiring a future heirloom but also making a sound investment.
Filling a white space in the market, Lally presents a much needed alternative to the traditional options when shopping for jewelry. No longer are high end jewelry houses, small boutiques or dealers with unknown reputations the only choices.
For a bespoke piece, Lally collaborates with the client on a custom design. An expertly curated selection of diamonds or gemstones is then presented at a private showing at the client's home or office. All of the options are personally edited to be of the highest quality within a given budget. Lally serves as the client's advocate, negotiating with suppliers for the best possible price. After the perfect stone is selected, an exquisite one-of-kind piece is then handcrafted by a Master Jeweler.
Lally is an invaluable resource for her clients, granting them access to the most important, experienced and highly skilled manufacturers, diamond and gemstone dealers and suppliers. Only reputable dealers who can provide evidence of legitimate sourcing and who do not fund conflict are used.
Whether it is sourcing antique jewelry, creating a custom piece, reworking an existing item or simply a repair, Lally offers guidance on every aspect of managing one’s jewelry portfolio.
