Who would expect anything less that uber style at the cocktail kickoff  for the Passion for Fashion luncheon? With a title like that, the impetus is decidedly dress-to-kill. Leader of the fashion pack on this night, as guests poured into the party at DeVille Fine Jewelry, was the proprietor herself — Liz Glanville.

Liz wore a vintage Luca Luca dress, Vera Wang shoes purchased at Net-a-Porter and loads of contemporary jewelry including the plated ruthenium and sterling silver necklace that she designed.

At her wrists, she wore a black stingray and white sapphire cuff and a black stingray wrap bracelet with stingray link closure. These and the diamond pavé drop earrings in 18-karat white gold are all from the luxed-filled vitrines at her swank jewelry boutique in Tanglewood.
