Auction of one-of-a-kind jewelry from the
International Jewelry Designers Guild raises $11,400.50 to help victims of
Hurricane Katrina
The lucky high bidders at
www.jewelryforkatrina.com
were able to purchase beautiful, one-of-a-kind designer jewelry, sometimes
at a fraction of the retail value and help a great cause. The jewelry
designers donated 100% of the winning bids to BRAF - the Baton Rouge Area
Fund - to help the victims of Hurricane Katrina, and many covered the
shipping costs out of their own pockets. The auction ended on September 23,
2005.

Polished & Put-Together
jewelry designer Margaret Schindel selected as QVC 2002 Emerging Designer
Award finalist
The QVC Emerging Designer
Award is an exciting new award to recognize the next generation of emerging
jewelry designers - especially new designers and designers whose jewelry
designs have never been mass-produced. The criteria for judging the entrants
and their jewelry include appearance, creativity, craftsmanship, potential
marketability and suitability for production.
A panel of celebrity
judges helped to select the ten finalists, including Polished & Put-Together
jewelry designer Margaret Schindel. Samples of the finalists' entries were
posted on the QVC Web site and members of the public were invited to vote
for their favorite designers.
QVC aired the designs of
winner Ava Yetter and runners-up Nina Segal and Antoinette Faragallah on
July 9, 2002 at 7 p.m. Polished & Put-Together congratulates all three on
this achievement!
