Eras of extravagance were revisited when Marion Glober hosted a holiday party at her bastion of bygone baubles, Past Era Antique Jewelry. Emerald enthusiasts: Corky Rebstock, Kelly Loft, Kim Page, Amanda Schissler, and Carol and Andy Vickery. David Yurman's Galleria boutique teamed up with Texans Pro Bowl Linebacker Brian Cushing to celebrate the launch of the Men's Meteorite Collection. The stunning assemblage of men's statement pieces is handcrafted from Gibeon, a meteorite that impacted Namibia more than 4 billion years ago. A percentage of the night's proceeds benefitted the Make-A-Wish Foundation. Stardust devotees: Texans teammates Brooks Reed, Kareem Jackson, Johnathan Joseph, and Travis Johnson, as well as Make-A-Wish's Stephanie and Jason Kohll, and Chris Kimbrough, Yurman regional retail director. At Queen of Heirs Antique and Estate Jewelry's holiday open house in Bellaire, owner Robin Lindberg — along with her K9 carat custodian Peaches — held a raffle with radiant rewards. Amethyst admirers: Miriam Friedman, Clara Tuffyas, Sara Saderion, Carina Ramos, Kayleigh Bumbarger, and Connie Blakeman. The Pin Oak Charity Horse Show kickoff party unveiled the $25,000 Crown Jewel bracelet designed by master jeweler Franco Valobra, owner of Valobra Jewelry & Antiques. The luxe piece was donated to the POCHS raffle, benefitting Child Life services at Texas Children Hospital's West Campus. Pining for pendants: show president Lynn Walsh, Texas Children's Regina Wheeler and Sarah Rowe, Carolyn Farb, as well as POCHS's Mary and Rich Jones. At Zadok Jewelers' All That Glitters Holiday Trunk Show, Helene and Dror Zadok, along with sons Jonathan, Segev, and Gilad, truly took the gemstone cake. The covetable convention benefitted Houstonians Lisa and Michael Holthouse's Lemonade Day program, which empowers children through the teaching of entrepreneurial skills. Patrons of peridot: JJ Williams of JJ Number 8, Arpita and Divyanshu Navlakha of Sutras, Heidi and David Gerger, Edna and Drew Robins, Marie and John Golden, and Karen and Jay Harberg.
