Amanda Pitard
Owner, Graduate Gemologist
"I came to the jewelry industry by default, really, through marriage. I was a physical therapist who fell in love and married a jeweler in 2000, and the rest is history. I came to Murphy-Pitard one fall afternoon in 2001 to help answer the phones and never left. Perpetually with a thirst for knowledge, I started studying about gems and fell in love for the second time in my life. I consider my career at Murphy-Pitard a high calling. Our customers trust us with their family heirlooms, and they depend on us to help them commemorate life’s most intimate and beautiful moments. Even after all of these years, I get excited to come to work, to educate our team and our clients, to advise our customers through the purchasing process, and to use our resources to build community."
