Berry wins Irv Brown Award for best gems, minerals, and jewelry case

The San Diego County Fair's gems, minerals, and jewelry competition has an Irv Brown Award for the best case, and this year that award was given to Rainbow's Meg Berry for her "Alice in Jewel Land" case. Berry designed the case and supplied it with her own gemstones and decorative enhancements.

Berry also won first place in the Mixed Display, Work Done by Exhibitor category for that case. She received both first and second in the One Carving: Professional class, and also had first-place exhibits in the One Faceted Stone: Professional and Open Lapidary – Not Spheres, Cabs, Carvings categories....
