Nickel Plate Arts Gearing Up for 10th Anniversary Diamond Gala

Nickel Plate Arts’ 10th Anniversary Diamond Gala is quickly approaching. The night will include an awards ceremony as well as a silent and live auction, and local artists will be working on art and jewelry auction items live in-person during the event.

Smith’s Jewelers is the title sponsor of the 10th Anniversary Diamond Gala. They have been operating for 76 years, and they remain the trusted local jeweler serving Hamilton County.

“We are so happy to be involved with Nickel Plate Arts as we, too, are artists and visionaries,” said Smith’s Jewelers CEO Robby Hieser. “We believe the art of raw, handcrafted jewelry is the ultimate expression of love. We exist to help people celebrate life’s most memorable moments with their loved ones.”

Nickel Plate Arts has expressed their appreciation for Smith’s Jewelers’ generous contribution of a genuine 1-carat diamond. Event attendees will have the opportunity to purchase a glass of champagne for $25 in order to win the diamond.
