If you speak Jewelry, you speak Italian

Wrapping up a year-long program with the Italian Trade Commission, Town&Country was pleased to co-host two special jewelry events that showcased the best of the best in Italian jewelry design.

Louis Anthony Jewelers

On April 15, Louis Anthony Jewelers in Pittsburgh welcomed their VIP customers for a special evening dedicated to all things Italian. Brand representatives were on hand, along with Augusta Smargiassi, the Italian deputy trade commissioner, to encourage guests to immerse themselves in the beauty of Italian style and design. The warmth of the Guarino family truly expressed the passion they have for Italian jewelry and fine design.

London Jewelers

On April 22, Town&Country’s jewelry director, Heather Bracher Severs, co-hosted our second event with Mark and Candi Udell at London Jewelers at their stunning Americana Manhasset boutique. Jewelry representatives from Buccellati, Bulgari, Casato, Ippolita, Paneri, Pomellato and Roberto Coin showcased collections that represented the depth and breadth of fine Italian craftsmanship. To complete the Italian experience, models clad in Fendi wandered through the crowd displaying different jewelry designs, and several Maseratis were parked at the entrance to the store.
