'Hollywood Collection' hits Atlanta

The Kazanjian Foundation's "Jewels for Charity Hollywood Collection" is coming to the Atlanta Jewelry Show at the Cobb Galleria Centre from March 1-3.

The Hollywood Collection features prized jewelry formerly owned by celebrities such as Bing Crosby, Clark Gable, Carol Lombard, Eva Gabor, Howard Hughes and the Shah of Iran. The collection also includes pieces such as the tiara worn by Madonna during her wedding to Guy Richie, and the late Princess Diana's sapphire and gold floral necklace with the Prince of Wales emblem.

The collection will be hosted at the show by Jewelers For Children, which has partnered with The Kazanjian Foundation and its Jewels for Charity program to host the national tour of the Hollywood Collection to retail jewelers across the United States. Jewelers Mutual Insurance Co. and the Atlanta Jewelry show will be co-sponsors of the collection.

Qualified retail jewelers can explore the collection at the show and learn how they can host it in their own stores. Many of the pieces are for sale, and 100 percent of the proceeds are donated to charity, with 30 percent designated to JFC and 70 percent donated to a charity that the jeweler chooses.

"We are honored to welcome the Jewels for Charity Hollywood Collection to the Atlanta Jewelry Show," said Carol Young, executive director of the Southern Jewelry Travelers Association (SJTA), which produces and manages the Atlanta Jewelry Show. "This incredible collection offers a truly innovative way for independent retailers to get involved in raising funds for important causes."

The Hollywood Collection will be on display in the Point of View: A Designer's Gallery on the show floor.
