VEGAS, May 14, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Master
jeweler Steven Lagos delighted
guests at Keep Memory Alive's Power of Love® gala, with
a unique,18K gold and diamond necklace, specially designed to
support Cleveland Clinic Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health.

disorders. Featuring 231 full cut gems, totaling over 7 carats in
weight, the collar necklace featured diamonds hand set in
individually crafted 18K gold
mountings, and was available for bidding as part of the gala's
annual live auction.
In addition, a curated selection of styles totaling $60,000 was featured as part of LAGOS's annual

raised more than $1.3 million for
Keep Memory Alive to date.
"This organization does such impressive work and we've seen
great advances as a result," said LAGOS Founder and Creative
Director Steven Lagos. "But we know
there's still a long road ahead, and we'll continue expanding our
commitment to the cause through the positive, timeless memories we
create through jewelry."
The LAGOS Keep Memory Alive collection is available at LAGOS.com
and features a suite of jewelry that follows the same design
inspiration as the organization's Frank
Gehry-designed headquarters. This collection is available
for purchase year-round and donates 100 percent of the sale to the
organization.
For over 25 years, LAGOS has supported Keep Memory Alive and its
efforts to research and care for those in need. Steven Lagos became intimately involved with the
foundation through his friendship with Co-Founder and Vice Chair
Larry Ruvo and his personal
connection to the cause. Steven's grandparents suffered from
Alzheimer's, and he watched as the disease took a toll on the
patients as well as their families and caregivers. He realized just
how difficult the experience is for everyone involved and has been
committed to Keep Memory Alive ever since.
"It's always a treat to see what Steven
Lagos will bring to the table for our annual gala," said
Ruvo. "His contributions are thoughtful, creative, and truly help
us achieve our lofty goals. We're lucky to have a friend like him
in our corner."
