A Tallarico brooch centered by a remarkable pink spinel (lot 143) reflects her eye for gemstones of exceptional quality. Viewed as a whole, these jewels reflect a collects or who recognized design as a conversation between maker and wearer, where imagination, material, and artistry converge.

Like her art collects ion, these jewels were expressions of curiosity and confidence, objects to be lived with and enjoyed. They mirror the qualities that defined her philanthropy: generosity, grace, and a deep belief in the power of creativity to enrich lives.

She and her husband Richard supported education, healthcare, and the arts with deep generosity, fostering possibilities that transformed lives.
