Employee Spotlight: Chae Mabry

Mike Levine

With nearly 18 years of hands-on jewelry industry experience, Chae Mabry brings a wealth of knowledge and enthusiasm to her role as one of David’s top sales associates.

A Gem of an Education
A certified sales associate with the American Gem Society (AGS), Chae also boasts impressive titles like certified diamondtologist with the Diamond Council of America. She’s a guild gemologist and is keen on one day becoming a graduate gemologist.

While originally from Winston Salem, North Carolina, Chae’s lifelong thirst for higher education took flight up north at Rutgers University where she majored in English literature and minored in philosophy. She considered the field of medicine at one point (cardiovascular surgery, no less!) as well as corporate law. In 2004, she was a student representative for the HESAA program that developed the NJ Stars Program, a tuition reward scholarship initiative that has since helped thousands of high-achieving high school students pay for part of their college tuition.

Inspired by Customers
“I love helping create unique pieces to celebrate special moments,” she says. “It’s always fun to talk to our customers and hear about the kind of experiences and special occasions that prompt them to want to create commemorative pieces.”

Finding Special Peace Through Religion
Chae participates in various ministries and recently completed the Life Church’s School of Christian Leadership program. When not helping David Craig Jewelers customers find the perfect rings, necklaces, bracelets and earrings, she enjoys studying the interlinear bible, a tool that allows researchers like her to read and contrast Hebrew and Greek texts.

You May Not Know That…
Chae loves to cook. Her appreciation of various cuisines is prompted by close friendships with individuals of many ethnicities.
