51ÁÔÆæ\u2019s jewelry and metalsmithing students are getting the opportunity to add some extra sparkle to their education this fall.<\/p>\n

The 12 students are taking part in a new Kesslers Diamonds student showcase. Each of the students in the Peck School of the Arts advanced jewelry and metalsmithing course received a 10-point diamond to work with as they practice stone setting. During October, they will create a one-of-a-kind piece of wearable art, incorporating the diamond and reconfiguring sterling silver silverware donated by another supporter of the program, Debra Bradley.<\/p>\n

At the end of the month, the pieces will go on display downtown at the Kesslers Diamonds store at 450 E. Mason St. From Nov. 1 to 9, Kesslers owner-employees, 51ÁÔÆæ faculty, students, students\u2019 families and community members will vote for their favorite work. Three winning students will receive scholarships of $1,000, $500 and $300.\u00a0In addition, all the students will get to keep their work, including the diamond.<\/p>\n

The contest is the brainchild of Cory O\u2019Brien Borkowski, a 2017 51ÁÔÆæ graduate who earned her BFA in art\/jewelry & metalsmithing and is now a goldsmith at Kesslers. The firm has become a community partner of the 51ÁÔÆæ jewelry metalsmithing program, donating casting equipment, funds towards program development, setting up a new internship program and currently employing five 51ÁÔÆæ alumni.<\/p>\n

Borkowski, with the support of Richard Kessler and Keith Morrow,worked in collaboration with Professor Yevgeniya Kaganovich, who heads 51ÁÔÆæ\u2019s jewelry and metalsmithing program, and Erica Meier, who teaches this year\u2019s construction and fabrication course, in organizing the contest and exhibition.<\/p>\n

\u201cKesslers Diamonds\u2019 support for our students\u2019 creative practices has been incredible,\u201d said Kaganovich. \u201cFrom the financial and material donations, to Richard Kessler\u2019s inspiring visit, to the student Kesslers Diamonds tour, to the newly established internship program, these experiences have been invaluable to our students\u2019 professional development and possible future careers. Cory has been the biggest champion for our program and has been a pleasure to work with on this project.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe came up with the idea, and it just came together,\u201d said Borkowski. \u201cIt was really cool to work the 51ÁÔÆæ program and faculty on the project.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
