Meet Sindur
Meet Sindur Shah McRedmond, G.G.: The creative powerhouse behind Sindur Fine & Antique Jewelry.
Though the Sindur Fine & Antique brand has existed since 2006, Sindur has been deeply entrenched in the world of jewelry and gemstones for nearly three decades. At the age of 18, she attended the prestigious Gemological Institute of America (GIA) in Los Angeles, CA where she studied both the art and science of diamonds, gemstones, and jewelry. At GIA, she was the only woman in her class to pass the 20 Stone Exam—an intensive, proctored test which involves using laboratory techniques and expertise to accurately identify 20 different gemstones—on her first try.
After graduating from GIA with degrees in Gemology and Jewelry Design, Sindur went on to hold positions with various jewelry businesses, including landmark Cincinnati jeweler William Effler Jewelers. During this time, Sindur developed her own external consulting business working with many renowned regional jewelers, leveraging her expertise in merchandising, jewelry design, gemological evaluations, diamond and gemstone sourcing, appraisals, and estate buying.
In addition to her consulting business, Sindur assumed the role of Director of Gemology at Everything But The House (EBTH) in 2016, where she led the transformation of a $6 million dollar a year department into $30 million in sales processed in 2018.
In 2006, after more than a decade as a practicing gemologist and consultant, Sindur formally established her own company and launched Sindur Fine & Antique Jewelry. Her genuine passion for her craft and her clients sets her apart from her peers, and it shows. Over the last two decades, she has amassed a large and loyal clientele who appreciate her incredible design acumen and keen eye for one-of-a-kind antique and vintage pieces.
