Christie Romero - One Year Later

I just saw this on the Center for Jewelry Studies page - I cannot believe its been a year already. The website has established a very nice page for visitors to enter comments and thoughts about Christy. There is also a Memorial Scholarship Fund to attend a 4-day Jewelery Camp.
How cool is that?

I was lucky enough to meet Christy at the Maestros Exhibit in San Antonio. It was wonderful - she knew everybody - or everybody knew her! I also miss her on Antiques Roadshow.

Christie Romero

I'm sure you've heard but wanted to post that Christie Romero passed away early this month. I had the chance to meet Christie at the Mexican Silver Exhibit opening in San Antonio. She was so busy and didnt want to bother her so I sat and chatted with her husband (whose name I cant recall). He was great - supportive and there for Christie. They looked liked they just belonged together.
The Jewelry Center posted a little something - here is their link:

I know I will miss seeing her on Antiques Roadshow and reading her insightful and thoughful reviews on jewelry in any of her numerous books. She was generous with her knowledge and always had nothing but nice comments.

Thank you Christie!
