GEMS AND GEMSTONE

xquisite jewelry and superb wine are two of the greatest
luxuries in life. Tonight, one fortunate winner leaves with a
priceless collection of both. This elegant set of natural sapphire
and diamond jewelry—necklace, earrings and ring—is designed
by Ken Friend, the official jeweler of Carnivale du Vin. Set in 14k
yellow gold, each piece contains naturally shaped sapphires of
varying tones and hues totaling 116 carats. Each hand-crafted
piece is trimmed in brilliant round diamonds weighing over
2.75 carats—a rare and stunning combination. The very first
inaugural vintage of Gemstone Vineyard in Napa Valley was
from a stellar year, 1997. Robert Parker wrote that “Gemstone
is power allied with elegance,” and the wine sold out in days.
Soon after, the very first bottle of Gemstone to come off the
bottling line was offered at a California charity auction, and
broke the auction record. This 1.5L bottle of the historic 1997
Gemstone Napa Valley Estate Red Wine Blend is from the
personal cellar of producers Suzie and Paul Frank and is one
of the last remaining bottles in existence.
