Rafael, a native of St. Thomas, has more than 45 years of experience in the jewelry industry. His love for artistry and design began at an early age while working for Little Switzerland in the US Virgin Islands. It is here that he learned to work with clients from around the globe, and began using his unique ability to speak multiple languages. A proud islander, he stays connected to his Caribbean roots by serving as a travel Ambassador to the USVI.
Rafael has achieved numerous certifications throughout his career in precious metals, diamonds, colored gemstones and Swiss timepieces. He is De Beers diamond certified, a graduate of the Gemological Institute of America, the American Gem Society and is extensively trained by Rolex.
An avid traveler, Rafael always takes time to visit jewelers in other countries to seek out new ideas for the Kimball’s clients he serves. Most recently, he visited 7 European countries and was an attendee at Watches and Wonders in Geneva, Switzerland. His proudest personal achievement was completing the Camino de Santiago with his wife and son in July of 2022.
Before his 11-year tenure with Kimball’s, Rafael worked with some of the largest jewelers in the industry as a regional and district manager, and as a corporate troubleshooter. He thoroughly enjoys every aspect of the business.
However, some of his favorite moments with Kimball’s Jewelers are when clients become friends and like family over the course of time. Family means everything to him. Building that relationship with customers and sharing in their special life moments is one of Rafael’s greatest joys. It is his sincere pleasure to serve you.
