Jennifer Carusone of Scoville Jewelers, 167 Glen St. in Glens Falls, was chosen from over 1,500 sales professionals in the world to be named Hearts On Fire Choice Champion of 2012.
Hearts on Fire is a brand of diamond created by Glen Rothman, who turned the brand into a company of international renown.
The Choice Award recognizes Carusone’s overall excellence in exceeding expectations set forth by the company. She more than doubled her sales goal set for her in 2012.
According to Rothman, “Carusone demonstrates what Hearts on Fire truly represents: passion, energy, and determination. Simply put, the best.”
Today, Carusone is ranked number three in the world in unit sales among jewelry sales professionals who sell Hearts on Fire diamonds and attends regular diamond training seminars including Hearts On Fire.
“People in our region seem to prefer items that have good value, are made well, and will last. Hearts On Fire offers all of that and more. My clients appreciate my knowledge and passion for Hearts On Fire diamonds,” said Carusone. “I’ve always had an interest in fashion especially jewelry. What makes jewelry particularly unique is the added sentimental value and long lasting memories each time you wear it. The last four years in the jewelry business have been very rewarding.”
Carusone grew up in South Glens Falls, just over the bridge from Scoville Jewelers. After graduating in 1998 with her bachelor’s degree from Salisbury State University in Maryland, she started her career in sales.
She started selling diamonds when she joined Scoville Jewelers of Glens Falls in 2008. Scoville Jewelers is a full-service, family owned business that has been bringing fine jewelry and diamonds to the region since 1952.
According to the Hearts On Fire company, there are only about 400 master diamond cutters that have the skill to cut to its exacting standards.
