Friends and Jewels – Hand In Hand at the Swan Ball

     Of some things, one can never have too much – and two of those things, we know, are the Swan Ball and jewelry. Happily for us, Eiseman Jewels NorthPark Center Dallas returns this year for a Swan Ball encore. Warmly received by Swan Ball attendees both in 1985 and in1994, the Eisemans return to many dear friends and customers and to a cause dear to all our hearts, Cheekwood.
     More than 45 years ago, a newly founded Eiseman’s quickly became known for the exquisite taste and eye for quality workmanship of founder Richard D. “Dick” Eiseman, who with his wife Louise would eventually build one of the most successful family-owned businesses in Dallas.
     Bearing the family name that is synonymous with high-end jewelry, their son Richard D. Eiseman, Jr has continued the timeless traditions that his father built four decades ago, and has added a fresh mix that is decidedly au courant.
     Highly regarded as the Southwest’s premier jeweler with gracious and expert service, Eiseman Jewels NorthPark Center Dallas will bring to Nashville a stunning selection of designer jewelry, diamonds, and colored gems from around the world, including;
  • a personal appearance by award-winning designer Rodney Rayner of London, who will present a wonderful rainbow of precious colored stones set in bold designs;
  • the 24-karat gold couture collection from Gurhan of Turkey;
  • the beloved and renowned collection of Seaman Schepps;
  • rose, yellow and white gold, pavé diamond designs by Garavelli of Italy;
  • the Eiseman Jewels NorthPark Center Dallas collection of diamond and colored gem stones featuring designs by Jack Kelege;
  • and a very interesting faceted, colored rough-diamond collection.
