Gabriel Love Foundation Introduces Scholarship Honoring Elias Gabriel
The foundation has also expanded its “Stronger Together” initiative with Jewelers for Children.
The GIA Gabriel Love Foundation Scholarship in Memory of Elias Gabriel was established in honor of Gabriel & Co. founders Jack Gabriel and Dominick Gabriel’s late father Elias Gabriel, a master jeweler.
New York—The Gabriel Love Foundation, the philanthropic arm of Gabriel & Co., has announced its new GIA Gabriel Love Foundation Scholarship in Memory of Elias Gabriel.
Through the scholarship, the foundation will donate $7,500 annually to one GIA student for their on-campus or online programs.
It was created in memory of the late Elias Gabriel. The master jeweler was the father of Gabriel & Co. founders Jack Gabriel and Dominick Gabriel.
Elias was inspirational and instilled in the brothers that their purpose as fine jewelry artisans should always be to embody authentic craftmanship, with a reputation for producing quality products and services, said the foundation.
The scholarship honors Elias’ legacy as someone who believed in helping others and communities in need.
The scholarship will help provide funding for students to achieve professional growth within the fine jewelry industry and in their communities, said the foundation.
Candidates must share the same values of giving back to those in need and clearly articulate a desire to do so through participation in philanthropic efforts.
They will also need to demonstrate how they will use their career in jewelry to improve their communities.
