The jewels will be on display at A. Marek Fine Jewelry through February 22. Jewels for Charity is a program founded by Beverly Hills, Calif. jewelry company Kazanjian Bros., Inc., and the Jewels for Charity Hollywood Collection features prized jewelry formerly owned by Hollywood’s A-list celebrities, including Bing Crosby, Clark Gable and Eva Gabor.

Thirty percent of any sales made February 16 through 22 at A. Marek Fine Jewelry, from both A. Marek’s own collection as well as from Jewels for Charity, will be donated to ASLF when specified.
