The Prize

You are bidding on a unique gem matching experience with Doris Hangartner.

Doris Hangartner truly blossoms in matching a gem to a person. When the person and their matching gem meet, it is so beautiful to experience. It seems as if they blossom too. She would love to invite you for your personal and unique gem experience!

Gems have been admired and collected since ancient times as a storehouse of great beauty and value. There has been an immense growth in the interest towards colored stones.

Doris Hangartner searches the world to find gems that are special. These gemstones are characterized by their unique colors, excellent cuts, admirable sizes or perhaps even provenance – where a stone has come from a mine that is now inactive or depleted.

"When you find the right gem, magic happens."

Doris Hangartner est très douée pour associer une pierre précieuse à une personne. Lorsque la personne et la gemme qui lui correspond se rencontrent, c'est tellement beau à vivre. Elle aimerait vous inviter à vivre une expérience personnelle et unique avec une pierre précieuse !

"Quand vous trouvez la bonne pierre précieuse, la magie opère."

The Cause

The Alan Ghitis Association was created in 2019 following the death of our friend Alan Ghitis, who died of melanoma cancer. We, his friends, his family, his colleagues and now other people that did not know him and are sensitive on the subject have come together to advance research against skin cancer, and in general to relieve patients who are affected.

Our projects in 3 years:
We financed 2 care projects, and 3 research projects in world-renowned laboratories for cancer research: at UCLA (in California), and at Humanitas University (Milan). Our scientific committee made up of renowned researchers helps us make the most impactful decisions with the funds we collect.

One of our projects has been taken over by Pfizer to develop a drug there, and we are about to start a 4ᵉ project in the clinical trial phase.

Melanoma cancer: the deadliest skin cancer. Melanoma has the highest increase in the incidence of all cancers. Its frequency is multiplied by 2 every 10 years. Prevention is key, but once the cancer is established, if detected too late, mortality rates are very high.

We have had amazing results so far thanks to wonderful donors and very talented scientists. We need to keep going and raise as much funds as we can, that is why we need your help!
