In the News: Reunited with a long lost ring

Thursday, May 14th, 2009

lost-and-found-storyMark Loren Designs was pleased to be able to help reunite Virginia De Shazo with her long lost ring! Another client, Thomas Donovan, had found the ring on the street and recognized the Loren hallmark inside the shank. He brought it to the store in hopes that we would be able to track down its owner; however, due to the volume of custom work we have done over the years – it was impossible to trace the origins. The ring was put in the showcase in hopes that its owner might stop in and recognize it. On Thursday, Virginia stopped in and mentioned her distress over losing the ring Mark had redesigned for her using her engagement ring diamond and 5 diamonds from her 50th anniversary band. Mark showed Virginia the ring and she teared up – it was a six stone design just as she’d described, she also remembered the finger size. An old appraisal was dug up and that proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that the ring was in fact Virginia’s. We were so pleased to be able to return her ring to her!

necklace

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.
