Early in her career, Ms. Eisen realized that her training as a jewelry artist was not enough to serve a critical role for professional jewelers-helping clients realize the full value of their treasures to pass them on to future generations. After studying art history at Emory University and training as a goldsmith in the Art Metals Department at the University of Texas at El Paso, she earned her Graduate Gemologist certification from the Gemological Institute of America enabling her to identify and grade gemstones. To better advise her clients, she earned certifications from the American Gem Society, the International Society of Appraisers, and the National Association of Jewelry Appraisers, and obtained the Master Gemologist Appraiser® accreditation from the American Society of Appraisers, an exclusive title held by only 45 gemologists in the United States. To understand and value fine art and coins, Ms. Eisen also attended classes and seminars dealing with authenticity, grading, and valuation issues. Her education, coupled with her years of experience helping clients with difficult valuable property distribution, paved the way for this important book for readers of all kinds: attorneys, accountants and bankers, and especially parents concerned about keeping the peace in their families after they are gone.
