Sisters Amy and Alissa are studying to become graduate gemologists at the Gemological Institute of America. Amy studied consumer science and merchandising at the University of Houston, and Alissa studied business management and entrepreneurship at Louisiana State University. They enjoy marketing, changing showcase displays, designing jewelry, making jewelry and spending time with clients. “Working with our mom, dad, and José (who has been with the family for over 30 years) has been a true pleasure and rarity!” Amy says.
