donated to museum
A US goldsmith has
donated a 22-carat gold ring to the Gemological Institute of America Museum.
The Jewellers Circular Keystone reports that San Diego jewellery designer has
donated the award-winning gold ring "Elation" ring to the museum.
The gold ring is hand-fabricated with "granulation" and "anticlastic raising"
and is set with two rubies.
"When GIA Museum Director Elise Misiorowski told me that donated, award-winning
pieces would inspire future designers, how could I not want to be a part of that
cycle," the Jewellers Circular Keystone reported Ms Seetoo Schiele as saying.
She added that it was a "privilege" to give back to the jewellery industry.
