. . .And What A Night It Was!



What a night it was! Belenky Brothers presented the Black Diamond jewelry collection of Catherine Angeil called 'Dangerous', by creating a downtown dangerous evening. Many guests crowded into the gallery to enjoy champagne, hors d'oevres, Burlesque entertainment by world renowned performers, and sheer, unbridled fun! Even the media was in attendance.

Everyone was in a celebratory mood. We laughed and joined in the fun of the Emcee, Murray Hill. One lucky guest even won a one carat black diamond.

This is a truly fun and exciting aspect of being at the gallery. Another is spending time with our clients and friends. I know it sounds somewhat soppy, but on a blog it can be said that our entire staff truly enjoys you all. We look forward to seeing you even more in 2007.

I'm Nervous, But Excited!

I am having a true love/hate relationship with my job. Being at Belenky Brothers can be fabulous! As most of you know, I am a true 'people person'. I'm thrilled to spend time with our friends and clients, many of whom have become friends. Making people happy is fulfilling and so very joyous. Also, I never get bored. There is so much to be done since we are a family business. Traveling and shopping and buying the jewelry is fascinating. Even more thrilling is designing and creating new pieces expressly for an individual. Curating the art has become one of my passions. Each artist is unique and talented. Working with my family, most of the time is very special. And this is only the tip of the proverbial iceberg. All of which I enjoy immensely.

What I really do NOT like is the paper work. I understand it is essential, but I surely do not like doing it. How can one run a business without paper work? If any of you have a solution, let me know

But now there is a NEW job for some of us at Belenky....impresarios. What?, you may ask, what is she talking about? Ok, here goes....as you may already know, Belenky Brothers is hosting an exciting reception this Saturday night called "Dangerous". We are presenting the Catherine Angeil collection of amazing black diamond designs. As if that were not enough, we are also offering some lucky attendee the opportunity to win a 1 carat. Black Diamond. There will be champagne for everyone, the media will be there, and lots of fun. On top of all that we have arranged some 'Dangerous" celebrity entertainment'. This is a huge depature for us. We have never done anything on this level before, and to tell the truth, we're a bit nervous. Nonetheless we are also very, very excited!

So you can see my job is always changing. Sometimes it is great, and sometimes maybe not so great, but I do love it.

I hope you all can join us SATURDAY NIGHT, 7-9. Please bring your invites and password. You need your invitation to submit for the chance to win the diamond. VERY IMPORTANT- - -You must RSVP, space is limited and the entertainers need room to perform. Either RSVP via email, info@belenky.com or call 212.674.4242.

SEE YOU THEN, LET'S ALL LIVE DANGEROUSLY!!
