Sparkle for Sandy Relief Auction Bidding Starts NOW!

While relief efforts for Hurricane Sandy victims have been a hot topic—and ongoing project—in the Northeast since disaster struck a month ago, industry members from as far away as the West coast have pitched in to help expedite the recovery through a grass-roots effort born in lower Manhattan.

Thanks to Jennifer Gandia and Christina Gandia-Gambale, co-owners of Greenwich Jewelers in New York City, the Sparkle for Sandy Relief Auction kicked off yesterday to raise money for victims of the super storm. With more than 75 donors, including Todd Reed and Sylvie Collection, and 92 pieces of jewelry gifted for auction, 100 percent of the proceeds will benefit Waves for Water’s Hurricane Sandy Relief Initiative. The Gandia sisters chose Waves for Water for its grassroots initiatives in disaster areas around the globe, including Haiti.

To bid, log onto Biddingbowl.com through Dec. 6., at which point a closing party will be held at Greenwich Jewelers at 64 Trinity Place for last-minute views and bids (from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m.) on all the jewels in person.

“As a native New Yorker, seeing the destruction in neighborhoods like our home in Brooklyn, the Financial District, and beachfront communities in the Rockaways, Coney Island, and the Jersey Shore was heartbreaking,” says Jennifer Gandia.
