Barbara Lowe
Silver Jewelry Specialist and Collector
Fascinated by jewelry since a high school student, she became a serious collector of Mexican and American silver jewelry after attending a Christie Romero workshop in Santa Monica.
After collecting for several years the collection was featured in a 1991 display at the Southern Oregon Historical Society in Medford, Oregon.
Attendance at many national conferences and participation in workshops has allowed her to continue the pursuit of information.
When traveling, Barbara is always tracking down and viewing exhibits in museum and shops, both here and in other countries.
This has confirmed to her that jewelry is an incredible subject to study and is a vital part of human expression.
