Rally for Kids Pool and Poker Tournament at STK

Rally for Kids, a charity that benefits kids with cancer, (which has some heavy hitting endorsers like Eva Longoria and Gene Simmons) held a fund raising event last night that we were privileged enough to participate in.  Here are some pics from the night, a pool and poker tournament coupled with Grey Goose at STK in the Gansevoort.

Winners received donated gifts from the Gansevoort and Grey Goose.  

RFS was able to hold our own contest.   We had all of the charitable competitors and spectators guess the carat weight of nine of our FAVORITE RFS engagement rings.  Whoever came the closest won a set of hand cut, amethyst in 14k gold earrings.

We'll be donating a FABULOUS ring for the Road Race and Auction in April, and make sure to check out the Rally for Kids website to find out how you can donate!

Art Basel Kick Off with RFS

We’re back!

Back from NY and we’ve already attended our first Art Basel event, Gold for Life. To attend Gold for Life you could just give a standard donation or you were able to donate your old gold jewelry as your donation to the Art Basel kick off party. After our donation, we walked through a bevy of clipboard carrying, shimmering, young women that directed us to the “backyard” of the “venue”, which was a Palm Island mansion (if your in the market, its available through real estate big shots The Jills), where there were PLENTY of glittering Art Basel lovers, artists, socialites, and golden painted and bikini clad women surrounding a mosaic tiled pool littered, if you will, with paintings and surrounded by art! We were able to meet with a couple of the featured artists. There were a couple small jewelry vendors, complimentary 42 below cocktails, much needed espresso, and Sephora goodie bags on the way out.

The golden event benefited “A Gift for Life”, which funds research for pediatric cancer founded by Paula Roldos and “United Aliens Artists” fund which teaches art to underprivileged children around the world, founded by Olga Ortiz Mera.



All in all we officially have our first Art Basel event under our belts and will be checking out the International Vanity Fair party/reception tonight at the MoCa to let everyone know about RFS!
