(Jupiter, FL - February 12, 2015)  Nearly 50 invited guests, honorees and sponsors got an exclusive preview of some amazing jewelry Thursday evening at the Diamante Atelier showroom / gallery on Worth Avenue.  The special sneak peak served as a pre-event for the Girl Scouts of Southeast Florida’s Emerald Awards celebration being held on March 14.  Diamante Atelier, in partnership with H.

Besides being dazzled by sparkling gems and museum quality diamonds, guests got an up close view of the gorgeous emerald and diamond ring being offered in a chance drawing at the event.
