A chic dinner in Washington D.C.

Yesterday, we hopped on the train from New York to Washington D.C., for a special occasion: A dinner honoring President Bill Clinton and Dr. Maya Angelou, hosted by His Excellency the Kuwaiti Ambassador to the USA, Sheikh Saleem Al Sabah, and his chic , elegant and gorgeous wife Rima!
The residence of Sheikh Al Sabah, in Washington, is truly palatial and once stepped in, one feels like being in Kuwait, at the Royal Palace. Sheikha Rima is undeniably one of the most beautiful and best dressed women of the Washington's social set: her style and exquisite ways to entertain at their residence makes an invite to the Kuwaiti Embassy a golden ticket to an evening of power and glamour.
Last night, among the 120 guests arrived to honor the distinguished achievements of President Clinton and Dr. Angelou in children's education, there were Ambassadors, Bankers, Royals and 5 (five!) secretaries of the Obama administration, including Janet Napolitano. A true powerhouse!
We were honored to be there and listen to the always inspiring words of the most charismatic of former Presidents of the USA, touched by Maya Angelou's spirit and love; and blessed to call the Ambassador and Mrs Al Sabah our "friends", after meeting them in Capri this past Summer, while vacationing on the blue island with their 4 children, like a very "normal" family. It is a privilege to do what we do: the freedom of creating beautiful jewelry becomes the opportunity to meet the most beautiful people in the world!
Now, back on the Acela to NYC: We have got lots of jewels to make!
Ciao
