Christine Cameron starred for years as the host of her own national jewelry television show, and her specialty is exotic and high-jewelry. She was also a product buyer, a TV Talent trainer, and a liaison to jewelry manufacturers all around the globe. Her experience in the jewelry and TV industries has allowed her to develop relationships with some of the world's most talented lapidaries (gemstone cutters) and designers. To date, she has appeared on four American TV networks as a Show Host and Jewelry Expert. Using her blend of skills and knowledge, Christine also contracts with GIA to develop content for their digital publications. Her GIA projects are on-going and, understandably, cannot be discussed until they are published. Suffice to say that her expertise is used to enlighten and entertain jewelry fans, young and old, both novice and expert, in the world of exquisite jewels. Additionally, Christine spent many years as the EVP of Sales and Marketing for an international business. And currently she lends her talents to a crop of young, aspiring fashionistas as an Adjunct Professor of Business, PR, and Advertising. In 2011, she earned her Masters degree in Entertainment Business and graduated Summa Cum Laude with many honors. She was also Valedictorian of her class. Christine has written both editions of SAVVY as a leading consumer advocate for jewelry lovers. She hopes to illuminate, educate, and clarify for the savvy shopper what true value is in today's crowded jewelry marketplace. Christine hopes you will gain incredible insight and confidence by reading SAVVY; and she invites you to join her at one of her live seminars or in one of her online classes. You can find her schedule at savvygems.com, or you can inquire about her personalized trunk shows and speaking opportunities at savvyswagbag.com. Her background is solid, her expertise with exotic gemstones is exceptional, her eye for detail is extraordinary, and her approach to sharing this knowledge with you is nothing but common sense.
