Experience
I
began working in the jewelry industry in 1982 for a small
custom jewelry store while attending the University of
Texas at Austin. After graduation from UT, I attended
the Gemological Institute of America in Santa Monica,
California, receiving my Graduate Gemologist diploma in
residence. I then returned to Dallas to work as the showroom
manager for a dealer in colored gemstones. I have twenty
years experience in Albuquerque as a gemologist and appraiser
for Beauchamp and Co. Jewelers (1987 – 1996) and as an
appraiser, manager and buyer for Shelton Jewelers (1996
– 2007). I founded Gemologically Speaking in 2007 to address
the need for quality, independent appraisals in Albuquerque
and greater New Mexico. It is my goal to provide my clients
with the information or appraisal they require in a timely
manner and at a reasonable price.
