In an effort to help the Gemological Institute of America enlarge its museum display collection, the American Jewelry Design Council (AJDC) is collaborating with GIA to create a special collection of contemporary designer jewelry. The collection will consist of signature pieces donated to GIA by AJDC members. Designer Jose Hess has agreed to be the campaign’s honorary chairperson, and every member of the AJDC has been asked to create a piece for this campaign. They hope to have the collection ready to debut at next year’s JCK Show in Las Vegas in June.
