Bagels) The Kirkland
Art Center will maintain its retail shop in Park Place Center through 2010. We are very excited about this
opportunity for the center, featuring fine arts and crafts made by more than 80 KAC instructors, members, and students
ranging from funcitonal ceramics and glass to jewelry, decorative sculpture, paintings, and prints. We are supporting
this event by offering Coralyn's hand crafted designs and her volunteer work time. Lots of great creative works, all
in one beautiful gallery! All sales support the Kirkland Art Center.
Hours: Tuesday - Saturday: 10:00 AM to 6 PM
Sunday: 12 - 5 PM
Closed Mondays.
Next regularly scheduled show at our studio will take
place either the first or second Sunday in November. This will be our "Holiday Show" and encompasses more
than just Coralyn's sterling and fine jewelry designs. Also included will be sterling silver jewelry by other
vendors, fine jewelry by other vendors, as well as estate jewelry. All jewelery in the collection has been hand
selected by Coralyn at the Tucson Gem and Jewelry Shows or through high-end auction houses (such as Christie's, Sotheby's,
and Skinner's). No other vendors will be on sight. Tentative
dates for December open houses to facilitate holiday shopping will be announced closer to the holidays. This
will be Coralyn's designs and other fashion jewelry. Fine jewelry will be shown by appointment only.

The Unveiling of the Whitney Alexandrite
On April 7th, we
attended the unveiling of our gift to the Smithsonian's fine gem collection. It was an amazing day for all. It
was the first time the public had a chance to see a new exhibit unveiled during normal hours. The director of the natural
history museum, the curator of the gem collection, and family and friends participated in the unveiling. Next
time you are in DC check it out. It is located in the gem hall. The following link gets you to
the official Smithsonian webpage for this latest acquisition, including photos and the history of the stone.
