Testimonials with regards to Coaching
“I would like to state that Karen shares her passion for jewellery industry with you and connects you with the people, products and equipment before you open giving you the confidence to proceed. She then continues to share her experience helping you to navigate the appraisal business and all the questions that can arise from clients. You also get the benefit of an experienced gemmologist as a consultant when needed for confirmation of gems or valuation. Statements above are on the basis of personal experience.“

Comments on Teaching
“I was able to take a few classes taught by Karen and I can say that she is unequivocally one of the best teachers / trainers I have had. She takes the time to keep the topics relevant and is constantly open to discussion points which then lead to a further and deeper understanding of the original topic being discussed. Thank you again for everything Karen and I look forward to working with you again in the future.”

“Karen gives thought provoking questions during the class that make you more interested in finding as many details as you can regardless of how small. Motivates you to keep looking and to be sure you double check your findings.”
