On November 5th, chic Chicagoans including Toni Canada, Bridget Levy and Patrick Wood–Prince flocked to Sidney Garber Fine Jewelry in the Gold Coast to co-host a cocktail party benefiting The Art Institute of Chicago’s Auxiliary Board. In attendance was Brooke Garber Neidich, who took over the company in 2008—and was recently named Elle Magazine’s “Top 10 Women in the Art World”. Guests enjoyed small bites including Steak and Potatoes, Chicken and Biscuits and Risotto Mushroom Cups and for dessert—Mini Apple Pies and Layered Brownie Treats by Boutique Bites. While sipping champagne, and enjoying Don Julio Tequila 1942, we watched countless women try on stunning pieces from the latest collection.

Visit the Chicago location at 118 E. Delaware Place. Sidney Garber recently opened on Madison Avenue in New York City, and you can find the collections in Barney’s Nationwide and The Row in Los Angeles.
