Guests at the 2008 Cattle Barons’ Ball on Saturday, Nov. 8, will be tickled pink by this year’s Champagne and Diamonds game, which offers the chance to win a stunning necklace valued at nearly $5,000.
The necklace, donated by Mucklow’s Fine Jewelry in Peachtree City and designed by Robert Mucklow’s friend, designer David B., features a pear-shaped pink sapphire weighing 1.42 carats that is surrounded by 18 round diamonds. The sapphire dangles from an 18-carat, 16-inch, white gold, woven chain adorned with 16 additional round diamonds set in interlocking moving bezels. (The total diamond weight is .80 carats.)
Only 120 guests will have the opportunity to buy a $50 chance to win the sapphire and diamond necklace. Each chance comes with a souvenir glass of pink champagne.
The annual Western-style ball, to be held at Canongate at Whitewater Creek Country Club in Fayetteville, features food, music, dancing, a silent auction, games and more. All proceeds from the event go toward supporting the local programs of the American Cancer Society, including research, education and advocacy. In the last five years, the ball has raised more than $800,000 for the ACS. The ball is open to anyone interested in supporting this worthy cause.
