Lori is an expert in the world of gemstones and diamonds, with years of experience and training that set her apart. Her recent trip, a twofold journey to Germany and Antwerp, highlights her dedication to sourcing the finest gemstones and diamonds for Fernbaugh’s Jewelers. In Germany, renowned for its cutting techniques and vibrant colored gemstones, Lori hand-picked exquisite pieces to bring back to her customers. In Antwerp, one of the diamond capitals of the world, she sourced top-quality diamonds, ensuring that only the best are offered in her store.
Lori's expertise is backed by her education, including courses from the Gemological Institute of America (GIA), where she earned credentials in Diamond Essentials, Diamonds and Diamond Grading, and completed the prestigious Graduate Diamonds program. She has also attended DeBeers' educational programs in London, gaining hands-on experience working with rough diamond shapes and learning to identify lab-grown diamonds using cutting-edge technology.
What truly sets Lori apart is her passion for hand-selecting each gemstone and diamond, ensuring that each piece tells a story. Customers appreciate her personal touch, knowing that Lori’s careful eye has chosen each gemstone or diamond just for them. Her recent trip also brought back something special—colored diamonds, an exclusive offering that will feature unique pieces like purple, pink, green, and blue diamond earrings.
One highlight of Lori’s trip was visiting the first DeBeers store in London, where she had the opportunity to try on a stunning 112ct emerald-cut diamond solitaire ring. This flawless, D-color diamond left a lasting impression and further solidified her passion for finding the perfect pieces to bring back to her clients.
Lori's deep knowledge of gemstones, diamonds, and her hands-on approach ensure that every customer leaves Fernbaugh's Jewelers in Plymouth with a piece that’s as unique and special as the story behind it.
