Episode Synopsis

CEO of The Antiques Diva & Co, Toma Clark Haines sits down with vintage and fine jewelry curator–designer Naz Kretlow, founder of 3 Graces of Gold, for a luminous conversation about turning a lifelong obsession into a purpose-driven antiques business. From childhood treasure hunts and stamp collections to designing heirloom-quality gold bands, Naz shares how collecting became curation and then a calling. She opens up about leaving a 15-year corporate career, the financial and emotional prep behind that leap, and why community, craftsmanship, and joy are her non-negotiables. You’ll hear practical sourcing tips (from Miami to New York shows), how to work with bench jewelers, and why bold, wearable design beats “too precious” pieces that live in a drawer. If you’re an antiques dealer, designer, or collector, this episode is your reminder that when you follow the fun - and serve real needs - the work sustains itself. Plus: Toma’s mantra for building a business you love, and Naz’s mindset for building networks that last.Check out the links from our episode.Naz Kretlow: 3gracesofgold.com | InstagramToma: Instagram |  antiquesdiva.com
