description: Gems are the rarest and most enticing material a jeweler can work with, and this newest entry in the acclaimed 500 series showcases a rainbow of stones, from rough and natural to fully-faceted precious jewels.  The pieces include rings, earrings, bracelets, necklaces, pendants, and even a tiara, and they’re set in every imaginable kind of material, both precious and non-precious: gold, glass, platinum, palladium, iron, resin, silver, and more. The work ranges from Christo Kiffer's delicate and expressive "Tourmaline Moth Brooch," with its rich green tourmalines and sparkling diamonds, to a devastatingly beautiful necklace by master jeweler Daphne Krinos.  THE INTERNATIONAL ROSTER OF JEWELERS INCLUDES:Todd Reed  -  Cesar Lim  -  Eleanor Moty  -  Karl Fritsch  -  Ralph Bakker  -  Michael Zobel Gurhan  - Diana Vincent  -  Alex Sepkus  -  Mark Schneider  -  Barbara Heinrich  -  Gijs Bakker  -  Kent Raible  -  Pat Flynn  -  George Sawyer  -  Thomas Herman  -  Paula Crevoshay  -  Sarah Graham
