Jardine has been in the fine art and antique business for nearly a decade. Starting in the jewelry department, she has grown her skills to include fine art, mid-century art and design, 18th and 19th-century Continental design and furnishings, English and Mexican silver, luxury goods, art glass, photography, and everything in between. In 2019, she attained her Graduate Gemologist degree from the Gemological Institute of America, and she is as comfortable with Colombian emeralds as she is with Modernist jewelry designs.
At John Moran Auctioneers she acquired knowledge and skills in the aforementioned categories through her work as the decorative art and jewelry cataloguer and later as a specialist. She also contributed many of the written materials at the auction house including artist essays, press releases, brochures, and social media posts.
At Roth Fine Art Appraisals, she has built upon her knowledge in decorative art and expanded into Fine Art from around the world. Her contributions include researching the works that form each appraisal and ensuring clients have the most accurate and up-to-date information on their collections possible. Her curious nature, writing skills, and can-do attitude form the basis of her work every day.
