Jewelry from The Shawver Art Collection Trust

The important jewelry collection from The Shawver Art Collection Trust continues to be offered across several auctions this Fall/Winter and features both colored diamonds and gems.

Pat Shawver, a Phoenix native, had an eye for color and collected both colored sapphires and diamonds among other rare gems. She loved to wear her jewelry and was a gracious hostess, known for her homemade pies and holiday fare. Her love of travel took her to all the world’s continents except Antarctica. It is fitting that she collected nature’s miracles with such awe and appreciation of their beauty.
