Sarah Ferguson, “Fergie”, Duchess of York, looked radiant wearing Stephen Silver Fine Jewelry designs last Friday, October 27, at the V Foundation “Dinner with the Duchess” charity event in the San Francisco Bay Area.
The Silvers’ emerald and diamond ring, bracelet, and earrings elevated the Duchess’ evening look, each glittering Colombian emerald and diamond popping against her red tresses and colorful butterfly dress.
The Duchess took time to pose with Stephen and Connie Silver at the event as well as V Foundation executives and well-heeled attendees.
The Silicon Valley-based jeweler and timepiece salon remains proud to be a longtime V Foundation supporter. Company president Jared Silver serves on the V Foundation Wine Celebration board of directors, and the Silvers consistently donate significant sums in support of the organization’s mission to raise vital funding for cancer research and a cure – a cause aligned with the Duchess’ own experience as a cancer survivor.
