Adding an extra touch of sparkle to the night, Addessi Jewelers will host Diamonds in the Garden, an exciting activity where guests can try their hand at digging for diamonds and the chance to win a $2,500 shopping spree. Addessi Jewelers is renowned for its exquisite custom designs and exclusive Fiore collection, featuring hand-cut natural gemstones in the shape of a five-petal flower.
Enhancing the evening’s allure, The Boulders carries a rich artistic and historical legacy. Built for renowned German-American artist Frederick Dielman, the estate served as his country retreat until his passing in 1935. Dielman, a celebrated muralist and former president of the National Academy of Design, left an indelible mark on American art history. His works, including the Law and History mosaics at the Library of Congress, remain treasured pieces of public art. Steeped in history, the estate sits on rocky terrain where British and American forces are believed to have skirmished following the Battle of Ridgefield in 1777.
