Zachary’s Jewelers Awards Fifth Graders This spring, Zachary’s Jewelers held its Mother’s Day Jewelry Design Contest, in which fifth graders were encouraged to sketch design pieces of jewelry for their mothers or caregivers and provide a short story about their design. The renowned Annapolis-area jeweler then selected four winners, of which their designs were turned into beautiful pieces of jewelry to give on Mother’s Day. Congratulations to the winners and their families.
