All in the family.<\/p>\n
Diamond dust must course through the veins of the Geller family, who have been creating jewelry since the late 1800s when David Geller was a personal jeweler to Czar Nicholas II.<\/p>\n The family immigrated 83 years ago to Atlanta, where David\u2019s son, Dan, founded D. Geller Manufacturing and Wholesale Jewelers, the Southeast\u2019s first jewelry wholesaler. He immediately began supporting nonprofits. When Dan died, his son, Mike, inherited the business at age 23 and over the next decade, morphed it into D. Geller & Son retail stores in Atlanta, Sandy Springs and Kennesaw.<\/p>\n Following tradition, Mike\u2019s son, Jonathan, returned to his roots after college and a stint in the Army, and embraced CURE Childhood Cancer\u2019s efforts to fund research. He decided there was no better way to show support than by working with custom department lead Candy Johnson to design three diamond pendants with a percentage of sales going to CURE. The fundraiser is ongoing year-round instore and online.<\/p>\n \u201cThe teardrop in CURE logo\u2019s \u2018R\u2019 was my inspiration,\u201d says Jonathan, the company\u2019s managing director. \u201cWe\u2019re not a giant corporation. We make things. Using our skills is a perfect way for us to support CURE.\u201d<\/p>\n D. Geller\u2019s other major partners include City Springs Theatre Company, LifeLine Animal Project and Children\u2019s Healthcare of Atlanta.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
