Two careers, one wholesale floor.

Dominic Mainella

Dominic spent twelve years at a Madison Avenue gallery before going wholesale. He knows what a fine jewelry sale looks like from the floor side — the questions clients ask, the documentation they want, the moment a piece moves from "interested" to "writing the check." He handles the catalog: what gets bought, what gets photographed, what gets pulled.

Michael Indelicato

Michael came up through the auction circuit. Twenty-one years between Christie's, Bonhams, and the regional houses gave him a working relationship with every estate auctioneer east of the Mississippi. He handles sourcing — the calls that bring pieces in, the appraisals that verify them, the relationships that keep the pipeline full.

How we work together

We share an office. We share a phone line. Pieces come through Michael, get reviewed against catalog gaps, photographed, and listed. Memo requests come through Dominic and ship the same day. There's no third partner. There's no marketing department. There's no offshore call center. When you call MDJ, one of us picks up.

Most of our two thousand retail partners have never met us in person. Some of them have been buying from us for fifteen years. The trade circuit is small enough that reputation matters and large enough that we still get a phone call most weeks from a jeweler we've never spoken to before. Both kinds of relationships keep the floor moving.
