The Milwaukee County Genealogical Society presents:
Event Title:Passing the Torch: Jewelry Gifted as is, or Reimagined for the Next Generation
Presenter: Vivian Paul Anton
Description:
How far back can you trace your roots? Imagine having a personal heirloom piece from your ancestors, such as a piece of jewelry. What would you do with it? Would you wear it? Would you frame it? If you wanted to make a small or large change, how would you go about doing that to honor the integrity of the piece and the original owner? See some remarkable examples of how to go about doing this.
Inspired by my father Paul, who journied from Greece to America, I embrace his spirit of determination and craftsmanship in my work as a Jewelry Designer and Graduate Gemologist. With a career spanning from galleries in LA, NY, and beyond - plus features in Vogue, Harper's and Elle - my designs continue to evolve. After many decades in retail, I'm looking ahead to new possibilities with Vivian Paul Anton Jewelry Design - a brand rooted in heritage, faith, and passion. Over 50 years in the Milwaukee Area.
