A Love Story Luncheon unfolded inside the elegant CD Peacock Mansion in Oakbrook, where top wedding influencers, leading planners, and newly engaged couples gathered in celebration of engagement season. Guests enjoyed an exclusive unveiling of striking gems and tried on an array of exquisite jewels — including a breathtaking ring valued at over $1 million — offering a rare opportunity to experience the brilliance of CD Peacock's most coveted pieces firsthand. The afternoon featured a dynamic panel led by Modern Luxury's new Editor-in-Chief, Fiona Good-Sirota, and jewelry designer Kelly Jacobson, who shared their insights on emerging bridal trends, stone selection, craftsmanship, and the artistry behind modern engagement rings. Their thoughtful conversation set the tone for a day centered around beauty, design, and love. Amid the shimmer and floral elegance created by Shamrock Garden Florist, guests were treated to a decadent afternoon tea experience by Blue Pate Catering. The event concluded with a surprise visit from Steven Holtzman, owner of CD Peacock, followed by a final group photo and private tours of the mansion's most distinguished collections.
