Kerns Fine Jewelry was proud to sponsor the inaugural Silicon Valley Showcase Golf Tournament. Held April 9th – 11th, 2023 at Green Hills Country Club in Millbrae, CA, the three-day event featured more than 50 collegiate women golfers from 10 universities: Santa Clara University, Stanford University, Pepperdine University, University of Nevada, Cal State Long Beach, Gonzaga University, UC Irvine, University of Seattle, University of Wyoming and University of San Francisco. The golfers competed for Team Champion and Individual Champion.

The Course at Green Hills, designed by world famous golf course architect Dr. Alister MacKenzie, has challenged many of the world’s finest golfers. Situated at the top of a hill in Millbrae, the course has breathtaking views of the surrounding neighborhoods, the airport and the San Francisco Bay. This championship level course provided a challenging and beautiful setting for these competitors.

Kerns congratulates the team co-champions Stanford and Pepperdine, who tied for first place, and the individual champion Lion Higo from Pepperdine. Kerns provided the beautiful Baccarat “trophies” for the champions. The first place trophy, the magnificent Baccarat Marengo Horse, is a permanent trophy that will be retained by the tournament. This exceptional piece, designed by Allison Hawkes and inspired by French history, shows the legendary horse and favorite mount of Napoleon Bonaparte. It is named after the Emperor's famous victory at the battle of Marengo. Other Baccarat pieces presented as trophies included: the Spiral Vase, the Gingko Vase, and Lucky Butterflies in red and amber.

In addition, Kerns presented each competitor and their coaches with a Tee Prize – a beautiful Amoré Magnete Bracelet accompanied by a reusable Kerns jewelry pouch. Tournament participants could choose their favorite color of these popular sterling silver bracelets: yellow gold-plated, rose gold-plated, white rhodium-plated or black rhodium-plated.
