About this Award: Art works winning purchase awards become part of the museum's permanent collections. They are chosen for their technique and artistry as well as for the way in which they compare and contrast with other items in our collections.

Jurors' Comments:
Dittemore & Griset: The necklace has excellent balance of color, design, layout and silver craftsmanship. The inlaid teardrops on the cylinder beads are exquisite.
