                    Diane Mazza 
                    follows in the footsteps of her family’s long-established 
                    connection to jewelry that began in the nineteenth century 
                    in Italy and that her grandfather brought to the United States 
                    at the beginning of the twentieth century. Her father Hugo 
                    continues the tradition by manufacturing fine fashion jewelry 
                    as Diane makes her own mark on the family business at Mazza/Bartholomew 
                    Ltd. Diane’s 
                    jewelry designs draw inspiration from her Italian heritage 
                    and studies of the Renaissance. Her mother Eleanor’s 
                    interior design background has inspired and influenced her 
                    use of color. A wide ranging palette of colored gemstones 
                    and lustrous pearls are most often the essential part of her 
                    designs, as demonstrated by her signature flowers for Diane’s 
                    Mark, the eighteen karat division of Mazza/Bartholomew Ltd.
