Atlanta's premier family-owned jeweler unveils custom mural celebrating craftsmanship, heritage, and the next generation of artists

ATLANTA, GA, UNITED STATES, June 29, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- D. Geller & Son, one of Atlanta's most respected family-owned jewelers, has partnered with Kennesaw State University’s Robert S. Geer Family College of the Arts to unveil a custom mural transforming the company’s rich history and legacy of craftsmanship into a permanent work of art.

Created by students from KSU’s School of Art and Design and displayed on the interior of D. Geller & Son’s Kennesaw showroom, the mural celebrates the values that have guided the family business for generations while providing emerging artists with a unique opportunity to bring a local story to life through their own creative lens.

The collaboration was designed to honor the artistry at the heart of both organizations. For D. Geller & Son, craftsmanship has always been more than a business philosophy. It is a family tradition built through decades of helping customers celebrate life's most meaningful moments. For Kennesaw State University, the project offered students hands-on experience creating a large-scale installation that will become part of the local community for years to come.

"Jewelry and art share a common foundation… creativity, craftsmanship, and storytelling," said Jonathan Geller, President of D. Geller & Son. "This mural allowed us to celebrate our family's history in a way we've never done before while creating an opportunity for talented young artists to showcase their work. We are proud to partner with Kennesaw State University and support the next generation of creatives in our community."

Throughout the project, students worked closely with D. Geller & Son to develop artwork that reflects the brand's history, values, and dedication to exceptional craftsmanship. The final mural captures the intersection of tradition and innovation, honoring the legacy of a family-owned Atlanta business while showcasing the fresh perspectives of emerging artists.

"This partnership demonstrates the power of connecting students with real-world opportunities that allow them to make a lasting impact," said Allen Peterson, Lecturer of Sculpture, KSU Art & Design. "Our students gained valuable experience through this project while contributing something meaningful to the local community. We are grateful to D. Geller & Son for investing in young artists and supporting arts education."

The mural serves as a visual reminder that craftsmanship is timeless. Whether expressed through jewelry design or public art, the dedication to creating something meaningful remains the same.

"This mural tells our story in a way we never have before," added Geller. "It celebrates where we've been, the community that has supported us, and the future we are helping build together."
