Worthy, an online marketplace for pre-owned luxury goods, on Tuesday announced that it has named Peter Schneirla as its new President. He will be responsible for forging strategic partnerships, fostering business growth and overseeing the expansion of Worthy's state-of-the-art, in-house grading labs.

Schneirla previously worked at Harry Winston, DeBeers, LVMH, GIA, and, most recently, served eight years as executive vice president and ultimately chief gemologist of Tiffany & Co. He was responsible for expanding the entire jewelry division and for bringing the Tiffany & Co. permanent collection to life.

Some of his career highlights include examining and consulting on significant collections, including pieces from the British Crown Jewels, the Hope Diamond and the Rockefeller Sapphire.

Ben De-Kalo, founder and CEO of Worthy, said, "Peter's experience is unparalleled and we look forward to having him with us as we fulfill our vision of becoming the largest, most secure online marketplace for pre-owned luxury goods."
