Colorado Springs, Colo.—Richard Swetz was honored at the recent Independent Jewelers Organization (IJO) Show in Colorado Springs by vendors and retail members.

This was Swetz's last show as head of the buying group of 850 retail jewelers and 160 vendors.

"Richard has been a big part of my growth as a designer," said jewelry designer Alisa Unger in a media release. "If it wasn't for Richard and the IJO members, I might have never gotten off the ground. He gave me my first opportunity to show my designs during an IJO Show five years ago."

Singer Frankie Valli performed in Swetz's honor during the weeklong event, and Alisa and Jeff Unger designed a jewelry tower to honor Swetz for his years of service too.
