For Chris, owner of The Diamond Bar, fine jewelry is more than a profession. It’s a lifelong passion shaped by decades of experience, an eye for exceptional gemstones, and a deep appreciation for the artistry and craftsmanship behind every piece.

Chris’s journey in the jewelry industry began in Quincy, Illinois, where he first developed the skills and appreciation for craftsmanship that would shape his career. A GIA alumnus, Graduate Jeweler, and Applied Jewelry Professional, Chris brings more than 22 years of experience and a discerning eye for exceptional diamonds and gemstones. His expertise goes beyond traditional measures of quality, allowing him to recognize the subtle characteristics and natural beauty that make a gemstone truly remarkable.

Outside the showroom, Chris is an avid car enthusiast who enjoys a great tequila or whiskey, exploring new restaurants, and discovering new experiences. Most of all, he cherishes time with his son and family, making memories and appreciating life’s meaningful moments

That appreciation for quality, authenticity, and memorable experiences is reflected in everything he does at The Diamond Bar. For Chris, jewelry is about much more than a purchase. It’s about discovering something extraordinary, bringing a client’s ideas to life, and creating meaningful pieces to be treasured for generations.
