A Night to Remember

On Wednesday, October 8th our Founder and CEO, Janet Goldman, was invited to visit the White House to join Michelle Obama for a Celebration of Design. She was among some of the most esteemed designers in the fashion and jewelry industry, including Diane von Furstenberg, Carolina Herrera, Kara Ross, Alexis Bittar, Cathy Waterman, and many more. The White House is truly spectacular and the event was a once in a lifetime experience. Here are some of our memories from the this incredibly special night!

Michelle Obama was so warm, friendly and welcoming. She personally greeted all guests with a special receiving line. When it was Janet’s turn, Michelle greeted her with open arms and kissed her twice. She made us feel at home in this truly exquisite place, the White House.

Of course, Diane von Furstenberg was in attendance. She is the most charming and friendly woman, getting in line with everyone and warmly greeting those around her. She is truly a top class act and was a treat to meet.

Janet was so excited to rekindle with an old friend, Carolina Herrera.

ACADEMY AWARDS 2014

Of course, our favorite thing about watching the Academy Awards is the stunning jewelry worn on the red carpet. This year, we sat down in front of our TVs with E! News, ready to watch the stars roll out. We’ve put together a list of some of our most coveted looks and hope you enjoyed them just as much! (all image credits are from Getty and Wire image.) 

 

Naomi Watts looked absolutely incredible! We loved her choice of the winter white trend, which was also worn by a few other celebs. However, THAT necklace really knocked it out of the park !

Another favorite styling moment of ours was of course the infamous, Angelina Jolie. The actress was supposedly wearing over 40cts of diamonds with those earrings. This close up shot really allows us to see the beauty and size of the stones.

We can’t forget about all of the jewels that Jennifer Garner stacked on her wrists and fingers. The pieces all complemented each other so well and looked perfect with her silver dress. The diamonds on all of the pieces are flawless!
