A Life in Jewels

For Candace Krause, jewelry isn’t just a career — it’s in her blood. Her great-grandfather founded a jewelry business in New England in 1898, one that still thrives today. Growing up surrounded by diamonds, precious gemstones, and fine watches, Candace learned early on that this industry, at its heart, is about people — and that the finest pieces are built on trust and relationships as much as craftsmanship.

She went on to build her own career at the heart of that world, leading marketing and branding for some of the industry’s most celebrated jewelers and designers. Her agency continues to serve as strategic brand partner to the legendary New York diamond house William Goldberg, celebrated for some of the most extraordinary diamond jewelry in the world. 

Along the way, Candace developed a deep, discerning knowledge of diamonds, gemstones, and design — along with a far-reaching network of trusted cutters, dealers, and workshops that her clients rely on today.

Now based in Dallas and working with clients across the country, Candace brings that lifetime of knowledge to every custom engagement ring, diamond search, rare gemstone, and one-of-a-kind vintage find. Her creativity and eye for design bring each client’s vision to life, transforming an idea into a piece they’ll treasure forever. And some things never change: the best pieces still begin with a good conversation.
