Melanie Kantor
Director of Sales and Growth
Melanie has made a name for herself professionally managing teams across the fashion/jewelry industry. Her first job at the age of 14 was at a jewelry store in which she would buy jewelry with her FULL paycheck, leave with tons of bracelets, and zero money. Taking the position of Sales Director at Rapaport Auctions was one of the easiest decisions she has made as she values authenticity, constant learning, adaptability, and most importantly – good people! In her free time, she loves to read, plan unique NYC activities with her loved ones, and eat ANY type of noodle. Mel loves to inspect all of the fun diamonds that her wonderful team brings in for each Rapaport Auction! Melanie’s favorite cut of diamond is a radiant diamond like her engagement ring that she had the joy of designing herself!
