On Friday 23rd of February, Augustine Jewels had the pleasure of attending a fabulous Chinese New Year dinner at the prestigious Bright Courtyard Club on Baker Street, hosted by Countess of Cromer and founder of Pearluminous, Shelley.
Vinisha, our Head of Events attended amongst successful business owners, entrepreneurs in finance and lifestyle influencers to celebrate the Chinese New Year of the Dragon. Alexandra, our Founder and CEO, was honoured to donate a pair of our Rhodolite, Purple Amethyst and Spinel 5 Drop Earrings as a raffle prize from our latest Aurora Collection, inspired by the beautiful Northern Lights in aid of MacMillan Charity.
The evening consisted of a 20 course banquet (Shanghainese and Cantonese) food and the dress code was smart casual with a touch of gold or red, Chinese style or National Costume.
Vinisha was given a complimentary glass of champagne on arrival, which she enjoyed whilst listening to the opening speech by Champa Selim, the Deputy Director, Greater China and South East Asia at Bicester Village. Shelley, Countess of Cromer and Emma Stokes Heley, Philanthropy Manager of MacMillan Cancer Supported followed by giving speeches too.
Following this, 9 fantastic starters were served alongside music from Mr Wonderful (aka Malcolm Fernandes who has been responsible for keeping London fit for over 50 years). We were also lucky to witness a magnificent 7 person dragon dance to celebrate the Year of the Dragon.
Dinner was then served which consisted of 10 main courses followed by 6 Chinese Guests singing. Dr Kevin Lin OBE (Senior Advisor International Coutts; MD of KL Communication Ltd; the Official Interpreter for PM and Royal Family) gave Lunar New Year Greetings. Finally, the raffle prizes were drawn and we were delighted to witness a lovely lady win our fabulous Rhodolite, Purple Amethyst and Spinel 5 Drop Earrings.
We want to extend our gratitude once again to the Countess of Cromer for inviting Vinisha to attend. She had a fabulous time and loved immersing herself in the Lunar New Year celebrations!
