amilton Jewelers, a purveyor of

fine jewelry and the most exquisite

collections around the globe, be-

fittingly chose the classic fashion district of

Palm Beach to host a one-time exhibition of

rare and unique diamonds. In celebration of

100 years in the market, Hamilton has assem-

bled the collection of over 50 timeless jewels

from their inventory as well as from important

collections from around the world. Many of the

mines producing these rarities are at or near

the end of their production, so the opportunity

to see such pieces are becoming fewer.

Following the only U.S. show in Palm Beach, the

collection will be shown in Switzerland, Hong

Kong, Shanghai, and Dubai.

The exhibit will feature diamonds of nearly eve-

ry color... orange, pink, blue, green, yellow,

champagne, peach, cognac, teal, etc., in sizes

from under 1 ct to 100 cts. Most of the dia-

monds will be set in jewels, while some will re-

main loose.

It was nearly 10 years ago in New York when Elizabeth Thompson hosted an

exhibition launch of paintings depicting landscapes of Botswana, that she de-

cided her next art-driven adventure would be the wilderness known as the

Everglades. She moved there as Artist in Residence in 2006, and was pro-

foundly moved by her experience which included confrontations with

many scary things-alligators, snakes, and was warned

about scorpions and panthers.

Thompson’s work has been exhibited at numerous

national and international institutions including the Norton Museum of Art, McKay Art Museum, and the Museum of Modern

Art, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Ever since 1976, when she won a competition to paint a series of oil tanks on the Hudson River,

Thompson has painted mural commissions in Zimbabwe and Mexico City among many others. In the early to mid -1980s, she was

an artist in residence at MoMA PS1, Long Island City, NY, as well as the Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris. Thompson is currently

represented by the Leila Heller Gallery in New York City.

Elizabeth works from her studios in Ocean Ridge (FL), SoHo (NY), and Paris.

It looks like the Everglades are overtaking my house, which I love. -Elizabeth Thompson

Since 1976, Thompson has been a

resident of Ocean Ridge, Florida in

the historic home which once be-

longed to Major Boynton, namesake

of Boynton Beach. She added a

painting studio in 2006.

About 10 years ago I exhibited paintings in a New York Gallery . At the opening, many remarked that the landscapes looked like the Everglades. I live close to this wilderness
