New York, December 7, 2004 - Got any colored gemstones to spare? Want to advertise your firm’s fine gem cutting or jewelry creation skills? If so, the International Colored Gemstone Association (ICA) would like to hear from you! We are now accepting donations of all types of gemstones and jewelry, from ICA members and non-members alike, for a raffle to be held at the upcoming 11th ICA Congress in Bangkok, February 18-21, 2005. All donations will be displayed during the Congress with the donor's name and company name. Donor names will also appear on the back of each of the 5,000 raffle tickets we plan to print.

The tickets will be $10 each, so the grand prize could be worth up to $50,000. The drawing will be held on Sunday, February 20, in the Grand Ballroom of Bangkok’s legendary five-star Shangri-La Hotel. The winner will be able to collect the prize the following night at the gala dinner that will bring the congress to a close.

The deadline for donations is December 15th. If interested, please contact:
