An Unforgettable Evening:
AdornaLux at the Vanderpump
Dog Foundation Gala
Claudia Golden attends the 5th Annual Vanderpump Dog Foundation Gala — and Lisa Vanderpump wears AdornaLux all evening long.
On Thursday, May 18, 2023, our very own Claudia Golden had the incredible honor of attending the Vanderpump Dog Foundation's 5th Annual Gala at the iconic Maybourne Hotel in Beverly Hills — one of the most spectacular charity events of the year.
The sold-out evening was a true celebration of glamour, compassion, and community, hosted by the incomparable Lisa Vanderpump — founder of the Vanderpump Dog Foundation and star of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. The night kicked off with a glittering red carpet, a beautiful candlelit cocktail hour, and a Silent Auction featuring donated luxury items from some of the world's most prestigious brands.
AdornaLux Jewelry in the Auction
We were deeply honored to contribute a piece of AdornaLux fine jewelry to the evening's auction — our stunning Pink Sapphire 14K Yellow Gold Diamond Ring. To see our jewelry spotlighted at such a prestigious event, alongside so many incredible luxury items, was a moment we will never forget.
Many guests bid on AdornaLux pieces throughout the evening, and the response was overwhelming. The room was filled with people who truly appreciate the artistry and craftsmanship that goes into every AdornaLux creation.
And the evening got even more special — Lisa Vanderpump herself fell in love with the ring. She wore it throughout the evening, and it was a perfect complement to her radiant presence. Seeing one of the most iconic women in television wearing AdornaLux jewelry was a moment we will treasure forever.
A Night for an Incredible Cause
The Vanderpump Dog Foundation is dedicated to rescuing and rehabilitating dogs both domestically and internationally — including their groundbreaking work saving dogs from the dog meat trade in China. With over 2,500 dogs adopted to forever homes since opening their rescue center on West 3rd Street in Los Angeles, the Foundation's impact is nothing short of extraordinary.
The gala raised critical funds to support their Emergency Medical Fund, the Vanderpump Nursery, and international rescue initiatives. Claudia was deeply moved by the stories shared throughout the evening — stories of resilience, love, and the incredible bond between humans and animals. Being part of this cause aligned perfectly with AdornaLux's belief that true luxury comes with a responsibility to give back.
A Star-Studded Evening
The night featured breathtaking performances by Tony and Emmy Award-winning Kristin Chenoweth, electronic violinist Lindsey Stirling, and the legendary Trixie Mattel. Hosted by Mario Lopez for the fifth consecutive year, the stunning ballroom at The Maybourne was electric with energy, laughter, and emotion.
Among the celebrity guests were Paula Abdul, Lance Bass, Jerry O'Connell, Rebecca Romijn, Garcelle Beauvais, and many of the Vanderpump Rules cast including LaLa Kent, Tom Schwartz, and James Kennedy.
What This Night Meant to AdornaLux
At AdornaLux, we believe jewelry is more than just an accessory — it is a statement of values, beauty, and meaning. Being part of an evening dedicated to saving lives, surrounded by people who care deeply about making the world a better place, reminded us exactly why we do what we do.
We are deeply grateful to the Vanderpump Dog Foundation for the opportunity to be part of such a meaningful evening, and to Lisa Vanderpump for wearing our jewelry with such grace, elegance, and heart.
