Gem Roundtable with Mickey Roof to benefit Hospicare
January 30, 2020 @ 6:00 pm - 9:00 pm
The Gem Roundtable is a signature and unique event like no other; a chance to see and handle incredibly rare gems from all over the world while raising money for you Hospicare during one unforgettable evening. Master Goldsmith Micky Roof will present her exquisite collection of artisan gemstones along with her expertise in their folklore, rarity and history. This is a rare opportunity to see, handle and possibly take home some of the finest gems in the world.
For over 40 years, The Jewelbox has committed to supporting the communities in which we serve and we are honored that they are partnering with Hospicare for this special event!
We will we serve hors d’oeuvres and beverages as Micky offers an introduction and overview of the event to the guests. During the next two hours, the gems are passed around the table as each guest has an opportunity to see and then pass each stone in the featured collection. As the stones make their rounds, Micky will give information on each in terms of their folklore, rarity, history and other interesting facts. Throughout, guests will have the opportunity to possibly take home and/or commission Micky to make custom piece jewelry. Partial proceeds will benefit Hospicare & Palliative Care Services.
RSVP is required. Space is limited. Please email Sara at sworden@hospicare.org or call 607.272.0212 to reserve your spot.
