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. 1.5L Gemstone Napa Valley Estate Red Wine 1997 Donated by Nina & Ken Friend, Pat Friend, Friend & Company Jewelers and Suzie & Paul Frank 103 17 J WINE COUNTRY, SANTA BARBARA STYLE im Clendenen, winemaker extraordinaire and longtime friend of Emeril Lagasse Foundation, offers a Santa Barbara Wine Country getaway for two lucky couples.
