Stormy Weather Raffle
A stunning original pendant has been donated by Cannon Beach jewelry
designer Sharon Amber for a raffle to be held during November's Stormy
Weather Arts Festival. Proceeds from the fundraiser will benefit the
Cannon Beach Arts Association Individual Artist Grant.
Prospective owners can glimpse the art jewelry now on display at the
Cannon Beach Gallery, 1064 S. Hemlock. Raffle tickets will be sold
throughout the summer and fall.
The pendant features a large Australian Boulder Opal in sea green and
blue tones with ruby red highlights. The artist set it in a 14-karat
yellow gold cast design featuring a fiddlehead fern and has it
presented on a cord. The piece is valued at $2000.
Sharon, a member of the Arts Association who has exhibited many pieces
at the gallery throughout the years, is well known for her
philanthropic support of local causes. She is also a past participant

which CBAA has been a sponsor. Raffle tickets cost $2 each or three
for $5 and are available at the gallery.
