A picture of Mark with Joan Rivers from the Arts for ACT Auction was featured in Happenings Arts & Entertainment Magazine. Mark donated a one-of-a kind necklace and a custom computer built by Peter Roeder, one of our talented goldsmiths. The computer is internally lit by artfully arranged, colorful LEDs and cold cathodes. The necklace and computer are part and parcel – the stunning necklace which is 14kt Yellow Gold with a bezel set Mother of Pearl Gambling Counter accented by a Chocolate Pearl, may look like simple in its elegance, but it is actually integral hardware – there is a chip hidden within that communicates with the computer and allows the user access. Proceeds from the auction benefit Abuse Counseling and Treatment.
