Winning Awards
Cornelis Hollander's debut was sensational. In 1982, the largest jewelry design contest in the country was the "Gold 82" competition. Cornelis was working for a local jeweler in Phoenix who urged him to enter the contest, with only three days until the deadline. Working in his garage, he quickly fashioned two rings one for the jeweler's entry and one for himself. The jeweler's ring won first prize and Cornelis entry won the grand prize. The next day a jewelry buyer from Saks Fifth Avenue was calling Cornelis to come to New York with his collection. The legacy started here.
