Lucia Zurkowski was a woman who was full of life, bringing a natural curiosity and creative spirit to all that she pursued. Highly independent, Lucia carved a unique path in her life that gathered great art and close friends into her well-appointed home, and was always driven by her deep love of her Italian heritage. With eclectic interests ranging from cooking, to horticulture, to collecting works of art by the masters, the Unforgettable Light that Lucia brought to the world was widely remembered by her friends and family, permeating all of her creative pursuits.

Lucia’s jewelry collection was also acquired with a keen eye for quality and design. The present lot is a beautiful example of an emerald – richly saturated with the ever coveted hue that emeralds from Colombia are known for.
