It was during her Honours degree in Classics from Christ Church, Oxford, that Helen developed her love of gemstones, specialising in their use within the decorative arts of ancient Rome.

She passed her FGA with distinction, and began her jewellery career working in the London trade on Bond Street. Helen has now been specialising in jewellery within the auction industry for five years, affording the perfect combination of the academic and commercial worlds. Having lived in both London and Geneva, her broad range of auction experience extends from managing high turnover arcade sales in London to handling and researching some of the world’s rarest and most important gemstones in Geneva.

Helen has lectured in Oxford and published on classical symbolism in early twentieth century jewellery and continues to work on classical glyptics with a forthcoming co-publication of a private collection of ancient cameos.
