    Beloved Houston jewelry dynasty dazzles in posh Post Oak party

    Steven Devadanam

    Since 1976, Zadok Jewelers has been a shimmering landmark on Post Oak Boulevard, a vision of sixth-generation jeweler Dror Zadok, and his wife, Helene.

    So it was an auspicious event, indeed, when the Zadok family threw a holiday party and grand opening celebration in a new, 28,000-square-foot, tony, two-story storefront in the posh Post Oak Place.

    Dror and Helene, and their three children Jonathan, Segev, and Gilad welcomed more than 400 guests to the sparkling new digs, which was decked out by Swift + Company.

    Austin-based musical act PDA rocked out tunes as visitors sipped on a diamond gem martini with a large diamond shaped ice cube, espresso martinis topped with the Zadok logo, a holiday paloma spritz, smoked old fashioned and more. Another popular libation was Cartier’s champagne served in branded champagne bottles, as was mini rosé and champagne from Martini & Rossi.

    Gemstone Cupcakes by Becca Cakes were a delight, especially since 20 of the sweets contained hidden gemstones for lucky attendees (CultureMap’s party friend scored a hefty yellow stone). All proceeds from the raffle and cupcake sales benefitted Heroes for Children.

    Meanwhile, folks headed upstairs for the appropriately named Upstairs at Zadok, which boasted a sushi and lychee martini bar. Another draw was Nina Magon’s intricately and mod studio — those in the know chatted with Magon and sipped on drinks in the luxe space.

    With news of surprise entertainment, attendees made their downstairs for a show by famed country music singer, Gary P. Nunn, who strummed his way through hits. The night ended with mingling and cigars outside — capping a dazzling date that shined as bright as a Cartier diamond.

    Seen in the crowd: Nathalie Diamantes, president and CEO Americas Pomellato; Anne Laure Ritter, president of Jaeger-LeCoultre; Adam Bossi, vice president of Tudor; Jean Baptiste Maillard, president of Chopard; Karl Poulson, director of sales at Panerai; Laurent Perves, Vacheron Constantin International sales director; Peter Regout of Richemont, and a host of Houston scenesters.

    Gilad and Lisa Zadok, Gary P Nunn, Helene and Dror Zadok, Michelle and Jonathan, and Segev and Amy Zadok.

    When life gives you lemons, throw an Italian soirée.

    Houston weather permitting.

    At the Hotel Granduca Houston, Children’s Memorial Hermann Hospital toasted the final days of summer with Dolce Vita, an Italian-inspired evening for 150 guests hosted by Shannon Addison, Jennifer Allison, Amanda Boffone, Kathy de la Mora, Melissa Juneau, Melissa Sugulas, and Audrey White.

    Late-summer showers shifted cocktail hour indoors, where Aperol spritzes, champagne, and Italian hors d’oeuvres kept things molto chic. Amalia Stanton, senior vice president and chief strategic communications and marketing officer, welcomed the crowd and recognized the host committee before introducing KuoJen Tsao, co-director of The Fetal Center and chief of general and thoracic pediatric surgery, who shared stories of two young patients whose lives were changed by the hospital’s specialized pediatric care.

    Once the skies cleared, dinner moved to the courtyard and pool, transformed by Scott Konitzer of No. 7 Event Design with floating lemons, yellow blooms, and green-and-white accents. Guests personalized wooden pizza paddles at a live engraving station by Amanda Reid Designs, while strolling cannoli usherettes and sorbet-stuffed lemons provided a sweet finish.

    DJ Druw supplied the soundtrack.

    Savoring la dolce vita were Erin Asprec, Mary Aitken, Chuck Cox, Matthew Greives, Amir Khan, Kevin Lally, Ramesha Papanna, Gretchen Sheirr, Fady Armanious, Tony Bradfield, Anne Lee Phillips, and Mike Roussos.
