Emerging artist Elizabeth Cates of e.cates design will be featured today as “5 Golden Days of Christmas” concludes at Fisher-Evans Jewelers, 801 Market St.
Cates, of Signal Mountain, makes custom jewelry, including necklaces and earrings. Each piece is handmade, mixing natural gemstones with antique treasures discovered across the country. The collection featured at Fischer-Evans will include gemstones such as red tiger’s eye, Mojave turquoise and wood opal. Previously, jewelry from e.cates design has been available only at private trunk shows.
“We’re delighted to be the first jeweler to feature e.cates design in a retail environment,” said Phyllis McMahan at Fischer-Evans. “Her one-of-a-kind pieces bring a whole new aesthetic to our jewelry offerings.”
Featured earlier this week were works by artisans/designers Crooked Creek, Louisa Guild, Sara Jannerbo, Ella and K2 Creations.
Complimentary wine and hors d’oeuvres will be served from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Ten percent of all sale proceeds will benefit The Forgotten Children’s Fund, an organization that purchases, wraps and delivers gifts to area children in need during the holidays.
