Has anyone been to the new Leviev store in NYC?

[Madam Bijoux]

The address is 700 Madison Ave., NYC. Yesterday''s NY times had a beautiful ad, and there is another one in this month''s Departures magazine (a picture of a square emerald cut).

 

[Harriet]

I''m waiting for you to go with me. I passed it a couple of days ago and it was still boarded up.

 

[Madam Bijoux]

This is definitely a good reason to have a get-together! I thought the store was open because the ad was in the NY times. Once we know it really is open and the hours, we'll have to go. The diamonds I saw in both ads looked like they were at least 7 carats each.

 

[Harriet]

I''ll keep you posted, but I''m afraid I''ll be out of my league there.

 

[Harriet]

Madam B., it still hasn''t opened.

 

[Madam Bijoux]

The NY Times will probably write about it in their style section when it opens. I think I''ll be coming to NYC to see a show on Oct. 17. Maybe it will be open by then.

 

[Harriet]

It's open.

Ok...., good..., now give Lev Leviev 5 (min.) to put up an "opening" display.

Put your shades on

..., and ......... enjoy the show

I am certain it will be a statement!!!

 

[Harriet]

DiaGem, is there anything in particular that I should see?

No..., just a hunch...., as I learned to read Leviev from the past...

I assume its going to BANG!!!

 

[Harriet]

Ought I assume that his pieces will be prohibitively expensive?

Probably more like "criminally" expensive

 

[Madam Bijoux]

I''ll definitely check it out next time I come to town. It sounds like he wants to give Harry Winston and Graff a run for their money.

 

[Harriet]

Madam B., may I tag along? I promise I won''t do or say anything to embarrass you.

 

[Harriet]

Madam B., when will you be in town?

 

[Madam Bijoux]

Good morning, Harriet! I''m coming to NY on Dec. 19th to see a matinee'' of "Curtains". I''ll probably stop at Leviev between 11:00 and 11:30 am. After that, I''ll work my way down 5th Ave.
