Zoltan took the coveted 1st place in the Alternative Metals/Materials category for his piece, "Moonshine." He remarked, "My inspiration is moonlight reflecting on water. I love the alchemy of this piece; turning black metal into water and light. On the back, you see a wolf howling at the moon, all coming to life in platinum. The materials that I used to create this precious metal art were black Knightsteel, inlaid platinum, moonstone, and diamonds."

In addition, on July 25th, the American Gem Trade Association announced the winners of their prestigious AGTA Spectrum AwardsTM. The Austin based jewelry designer continued to strengthen the image of Austin fine jewelry, with his unique style of master goldsmithing and exquisite design.

In addition, Zoltan took Platinum Honors in the Classical Category for his platinum pendant. The pendant features a 35.63 carat marquis moonstone cabochon and is set in blue patina bronze inlaid with pure platinum on a strand of cabochon moonstones, 18.20 total carats, as well as 1.20 total carats of diamonds.
