JEWELRY SETTINGS and GEMS All settings are STERLING SILVER unless otherwise specified in this catalog. Gems are considered NATURAL unless otherwise noted as SYNTHETIC (SYN). In the catalog, (SYN) describes both gems made from material not found in natural gemstone rough and gems made from material that is found in natural gemstone rough but in this case was manmade. Whenever possible, acknowledgements have been given to the faceter, designer and the person donating the gem for the auction. We are grateful for the spirit of generosity that produced so many beautifully faceted gemstones. Unfortunately, many gemstones are donated without complete documentation. The auction committee apologizes for any names or credit that may have been inadvertently omitted. 4
