The Royal Wedding Celebrated in Miami

I know its a little crazy to get up at 3:00 to watch a Royal Wedding but I couldn't resist when asked to participate in the Royal Wedding viewing party at Ever After along with Miami Magazine.

I think we were all enchanted by the modern fairy tale element to the marriage of Kate Middleton and Prince William.  How could you not find a bit of magic in a girl with a humble background growing up to marry a prince?

We of course had jewelry inspired by the Royal Jewels on hand for the ladies to try on.

A group gasp at the first glimpse of the dress!

(ALSO: Take note how good everyone looks at 5 o'clock in the morning!  I was impressed!)

Our prediction for Kate's Earrings.  Can you believe how close we were!?

We asked the ladies to guess the total diamond carat weight in a selection of rings....yes...trivia at 5:00am!  

Gillian's reaction when I announced that her guess was less than a quarter of a carat off and that she won $500 from Ring Finger Studio toward an engagement ring or wedding bands!

The Kiss!

A big thank you to Camille from Ever After, Miami Magazine, and Carlos Baez.

Meet RFS!

TARA ROSE - Owner of RFS

The SERIOUS STUFF:

Tara was born into the jewelry industry (her father is a designer).  She graduated from Pratt Institute and was the Director of Production and Product Development for a multi-million dollar fine jewelry line that was a top earner for Saks Fifth Avenue by the age of 23.

In 2007 she launched her first Engagement Ring and Wedding Band Studio in Brooklyn's trendy DUMBO neighborhood.  One of the few jewelry boutiques acknowledging a desire for conflict free diamonds, the business grew quickly with features in the New York Daily News and on the Style Network's "Whose Wedding is it Anyway?"

October of 2010, she launched Ring Finger Studio in Miami, FL which has already been featured in Miami Magazine, The Miami Herald, Blackbook, 944 Magazine, Premier Guide Miami, locally and nationally on CBS and NBC, Daily Candy, and AOL City's Best!

The REAL STUFF:

Tara never gets tired of talking about diamonds.  She truly believes that life is all about the ones that you love, and she's a firm believer that we should all be allowed to love whomever we want.

She loves her husband Christopher, her family, true friends, good food, a perfect cappuccino, drawing, really good art, and music like Adam Haworth Stephens, The Knife, and Neil Young.

Tara LOVES the crossword puzzles in New York Magazine, Infinite Jest, and old things...including photos, objects, and people.

She likes substance, hates wasting time, and holds herself to an incredibly high standard.
