“Jennifer Hancock, what a treasure she is. She is radiantly gorgeous and stunningly graceful and that’s just her attitude. Jennifer has an endemic smile and everyone that knows her, loves her. As they say, her beauty is much more than skin deep. I am so delighted to call her a Valobra’s Treasure” ~ Franco Valobra

“I am so thrilled to present Karina Barbieri as this month’s Valobra Treasure. She is tremendously passionate about her worthwhile philanthropic efforts, including the Latin Women’s Initiative, the Houston Symphony and Virtuosi of Houston. Karina has proved to be a force to be reckoned with in the fundraising arena. She has increased awareness particularly in the Latin community. Her style and colorful elegance perfectly represent her personality, vibrance and culture. She also loves jewelry… what a treasure!” ~ Franco Valobra
