With his usual South African swagger, Ronnie Mervis and son, Jon, finally took some K Street Kate advice and threw a brilliant bash at their downtown DC showroom at 17th and K NW.
Chocolate and Diamonds turned out to be a truly decadent affair – with attendees gorging themselves on selections from the chocolate fountain, sipping rich chocolate martinis, and eyeing the other icing – the frosting under the glass cases.
Surprisingly, the store was full of women. It would have been a single man’s dream come true! Honestly… because these women were were not only savvy and sophisticated, but self-sufficient. We saw three separate ladies purchase for themselves what is now commonly known as a “right hand ring.”
No cocktail rings for us – just cocktails! But if you missed the sweet soiree, be sure to stop in and see Ronnie and Jon anytime, and at any location, and tell them K Street Kate told you those tinkling treats were too beautiful to pass up!
