THE EVENT A dinner in honor of The Washington Ballet’s spring gala, chairmen Jean-Marie and Raul Fernandez, and the opening of De Beers’s fi rst Washington
store at Tysons Galleria. THE SCENE After a champagne reception, guests
had the opportunity to adorn themselves with over $8 million worth of De Beers’
spring collection, including pieces “Ice on Fire,” “Secrets of the Rose,” “Talisman,”
and “Radiance.” The new diamond Talisman watch was presented to the ballet for
auction at their Spring Gala. Guy Leymarie, CEO of De Beers, made a special trip
from London for the fi ve-course dinner, which ended with a chocolate-wrapped De
Beers truffl e cake. A performance from the Ballet’s new performance, “Genius,” was
the perfect encore. THE GUESTS Septime Webre, John and April Delaney, Jim
Kimsey, Britty Cudlip, and Cindy Jones.
