These fab ladies were all part of the hardworking team that put the whole event together. As for the gala, loved the Pearls and Denim theme: I’m all for anything that calls for wearing jeans!
The panel discussion on positioning pearls as the must-have gem was moderated by Julia Wheeler, a local BBC correspondent who served as MC for the entire event. She’s at left.

What a great idea - a Denim & Pearls Party! Pearls have been
dress up only for so long - good to see I am not the only one
dressing them down - I do mine hand knotted on leather! Robyn
