Francesca Patricia Galbato Moran launched Ann Augustine Fine Jewelry in 2024 to bring a highly personalized experience to jewelry shopping. Coming from a long line of small business owners, she developed a passion for working one-on-one with clients guiding them through the process of creating meaningful pieces. Her specialty is custom engagement rings and she works closely with manufacturers to craft heirloom-quality pieces designed to last for generations.

A 2018 graduate of Loyola University Maryland, Francesca earned a degree in Communications before working in events and marketing. Her love for fine jewelry led her to New York City, where she pursued a Graduate Gemologist degree from the Gemological Institute of America (GIA) in the renowned Diamond District. She then refined her expertise at Tiffany & Co. in their Colored Stone and Pearl Department.

The name Ann Augustine Fine Jewelry is a tribute to her grandmothers, combining their middle names as a reflection of family, legacy, and timeless elegance.
