leadership, marketing, client development, education, website presence, breadth
of product, etc.)
Michael C. Fina was also
honored with the regional award for the Northeast. In addition, three Michael C.
Fina employees (Amanda Lingner, Libby Repko, and Richard Wubnig) were also
given the title of HOF "Champions" by selling among the highest total SRP of

"Being awarded Retailer
of the Year for Hearts On Fire was not only an honor, but also the culmination
of years of growing as a company and most importantly, as a family. It is
not simply about educating each and every customer about why Hearts On Fire is
the perfect diamond for a special piece of jewelry, but why it is the best
diamond to express that you love her more. Just as we challenge our
customers to take their experience to the next level – to live and love
more intensely – we challenge ourselves to do the same every day.
Hearts On Fire's foundation is based on the love story of Glenn and Susan
Rothman, and it is that standard of excellence that motivates and elevates our
staff to give the very best of themselves to every client that walks in our
door," said Steven Fina, VP of Michael C. Fina.
