Shuler’s Jewelers Announces First-Ever Creating Heirloom Contest Winner Maria Bruno of Norristown Receives Complimentary Redesgin of Heirloom Ring
The Norristown native was one of many contest participants who provided Shuler’s Jewelers with a story about a treasured piece of jewelry and a compelling reason why it should be redesigned. Of all the stories submitted, Shuler’s deemed Bruno’s the most captivating. She was awarded with a complimentary redesign of her favorite piece of jewelry – an heirloom engagement ring. Maria’s winning story is about her beloved Aunt Kay who passed away from cancer when Maria was only 19. Before Kay died, she had given Maria her engagement ring. For Kay, it was a very special piece of jewelry – a one carat pear shaped diamond ring with sapphires. Kay, who had no children of her own, was married to Clifford Payton, a retired colonel in the Air Force. Clifford died shortly before his wife’s passing. Maria speaks fondly of her late aunt and conveyed her feelings poignantly in the story she wrote. Howard Zenker, owner of Shuler’s Jewelers, says Bruno’s story stole the hearts of all Shuler’s employees. “Maria’s story really brought out the best in all of us,” he says. “We were determined to provide her with nothing but the finest possible redesign.” Shuler’s team of designers, including talented goldsmith Gary Fisher, worked with Maria to create an enhanced redesign of the heirloom piece of jewelry. Shortly after a sketch of the ring was created, a wax mold was produced. Once the wax model was approved by Maria, it was cast in silver and gold and the stones were set. “It is such a treasured piece of jewelry,” says Maria. “I am very grateful and want to thank Shuler’s Jewelers. It’s been a wonderful experience.” Shuler’s will be announcing the details for its next Creative Heirloom Contest shortly. Stay tuned for details! |
