At this year’s Wine Fest, Mark and Sheri Loren donated, for auction, a trip to New York. The winning bidder will accompany Mark to the International Jeweler’s Association Show at the Jacob Javits Center – where Mark will assist them in selecting a loose gem stone to purchase, for which Mark Loren Designs will create and provide a custom setting. The package also included a beautiful Mark Loren Design 14kt Rose Gold ring showcasing a large Golden South Seas Pearl and accented by diamonds. Proceeds from the auction will benefit local children’s charities, such as: The Children’s Hospital of SWFL and Edison State College’s Pediatric Nursing Program.
