Their unconditional love and support were ever present as I grew up fiercely independent, dared to take chances, and relentlessly followed my dreams. As an active kid, playing with sparkly, fun jewelry was a joy. It led to an incredible career as a GIA Graduate Gemologist, diamond and jewelry expert, and serial entrepreneur in the jewelry and wellness industries. It’s been a great ride following my dreams. I’ve worn the hats as a fine jewelry buyer, appraiser, consultant, private gemologist, and personal shopper. Since I live a life of wellness, it was inevitable I'd become a health & nutrition coach and fitness trainer. The pinnacle was owning a small chain of fine diamond and jewelry stores for over 20 years. I LOVE DIAMONDS! Wearing fine jewelry made of precious metals makes me feel amazing so I chose the ideal business to surround me with its beauty every day. I love wearing diamonds, studying them, appraising them, selling them, talking about them…all of it! I value my clients! My passion, expertise, experience, and commit- ment to do what it takes to find the right diamonds and jewelry to create exceptional experiences “at a smarter spend” solidifies they are working with one of the industry's best who has their best interest in mind. These client relationships transcend time with having access to quality care for a lifetime. I love looking and feeling amazing! Eating well, moving more, being positive and passionate. Looking and feeling beautiful in your jewelry means living your best life of wellness. I’ll show you how to do this! For 25 years, I raised ocelots & margays, felines native to South and Central America. My precious “exotic family” often accompanied me to the jewelry stores and my clients loved interacting with them. They were the “face of my brand” in my TV and print ads. My love of protecting animals and their habitats is why I'm a board member and support the Milwaukee County Zoological Society. ##### "I want to impact the lives of people I know in a thoughtful and ##### positive way through my words, my time, and my treasure." ## Introduction Kat Morrow is a GIA Graduate Gemologist and self-described "Private Gemologist & Life Stylist" who owned a chain of fine jewelry stores for over 20 years.

What we were able* *to create was nothing short of amazing!* *This ring Is not only stunning, its perfect,* *and made specifically for me. The head* *where the diamond sits is a lotus flower!!!* *The jeweler created an exact replica of my* *lotus tattoo, and I am just thrilled with this* *amazing ring. Beyond happy!!"* ##### ~ Stacie Tatera *"Kat is one of a kind! She is caring, provides a very personable experi-* *ence, and goes out of her way to make sure you happy with your pur-* *chase. We met her almost 10 years ago and she has never forgotten* *us. That attention to detail is what you want from a jeweler/gemologist* *and that is Kat!"* ##### ~ Erica Stuckert *"We bought our wedding rings from Kat over 30 years ago. We also* *purchased jewelry for milestone anniversaries, Christmas, and birth-* *days because we trust her to get exactly what we want with amazing* *quality and price. She has a vast knowledge about gemstones and dia-* *monds which is apparent when she meets with you. Kat has an amaz-* *ing personality and puts you at ease when searching for that special* *piece.

My husband and I* *have bought many pieces of jewelry over the years from her and know* *we are getting excellent quality and absolutely fair prices. She will go* *the extra mile for you! You won’t be sorry if you work with Kat!!!"* ##### ~ Fran Janczak *"Kat is a pleasure to work with. I was in need of an appraisal for my en-* *gagement ring for insurance purposes and I am SO happy I found Kat!* *Kind, knowledgeable, and professional, I felt a sense of trust from the* *very beginning. There was no need for me to call any other appraiser.* *During the appraisal, she made sure I felt comfortable, and explained* *everything she was doing, and made sure I understood the document.* ### DID YOU KNOW Natural mined diamonds are truly rare, and the oldest and hardest mate- rial most of us will ever hold. Formed under intense heat and pressure in underground volcanic pipes thousands of years ago many miles beneath the Earth’s surface, it takes one ton of rock to find one carat of diamond. It is a very labor-intensive process to uncover these diamonds and bring them to the surface, and therefore a major factor in the rarity and thus the pricing. The energetics of diamonds! Diamonds are healing and raise the vibration of those who wear them. Diamonds represent stamina, strength, courage, and fearlessness, bringing all facets of self together in harmonious balance to cleanse and restore your mind, body, and soul. They purify and detoxify all the body’s systems rebalancing the metabolism. It's believed wearing diamonds promotes emotional healing. Representing purity, will help cleanse out negative thoughts and beliefs to infuse all layers of the energetic self with love and light, making you feel lighter, more joyful, and aligned with Spirit. Diamonds inspire self-love, self-care, and self-confi- dence. Who would have thought diamonds offer “glimmer and grace”. “You only get one chance to make a first impression?", my mom taught me. How you’re remembered impacts your personal and professional life, espe- cially in this competitive world. Showing up looking and feeling energetic, fit, and focused should be a priority. It gives you confidence and that shows up in how others perceive you. I can help you acquire and wear beautiful jewel- ry, and design your best first impression while looking healthy, fit and classy. Have you ever heard the term…health is wealth? In reality, it boils down to this. To have the ultimate freedom to enjoy life, we need to enjoy good health. Simple. It’s something money cannot buy! And we are in control of our own health outcomes more than we know. Nutritious food is one key component to having great health. Eating fresh produce daily – and lots of it – in a variety of colors is the secret. My solution is to grow organic produce right in my own home, year-round, indoors/outdoors using a vertical, aeroponic growing system called Tower Garden. The produce I grow is always fresh, nutritious, tasty, and safe, and saves me money!! Contact me and I’ll share my experiences growing it.
