AGS members presented Cox with the award at their annual Conclave in San Francisco on April 30.
Cox received the award based on his expertise and commitment to his community, personal business, the jewelry industry, and the American Gem Society, and because of his outstanding service to the AGS and his participation in local civic groups, service organizations, and industry charity boards.
“Ronnie has demonstrated his dedication to the ethical standards of the American Gem Society through his professional career and his volunteer service,” said Ruth Batson, Executive Director & CEO of the American Gem Society.
“I am both humbled and thrilled to receive this award,” said Cox. “Cox Jewelers has always operated on the principals of the highest standards of business ethics, like those established by Mr. Shipley for the American Gem Society. To be recognized in this way is a great honor.”
