Diamonds and Friendship

By AMANDA GORDON | May 19, 2008

Diamonds are said to encourage friendship, so the new Leviev boutique on Madison Avenue was the perfect setting for a cocktail party organized to introduce diplomats to the America-Israel Friendship League, a nonsectarian nonprofit that promotes relations between the two countries.

Janice Gillerman, the wife of Israel's Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Dan Gillerman, served as hostess with guests including the president of KLG Jewelry, Thierry Chaunu; the president of Park East Synagogue, Rabbi Arthur Schneier; author and Silversea Cruises adviser Shirley Lord Rosenthal, and Elie and Marion Wiesel. Mrs. Wiesel wore a Chanel broach.
