Alice finds a decadent feast of adornment fit for the most curious adventure
Alice fell down the Rabbit Hole and found herself at a fantastical tea party full of diamond bracelets, statement watches, and chunky rings set with luminous gems. The larger-than-life pieces from Hale’s Jewelers and Diamonds Direct were a perfect complement to the surreal surroundings of the Rabbit Hole in the Village of West Greenville, a cocktail bar and restaurant where guests are transported to Lewis Carroll’s iconic Wonderland through dramatic decor and attention to every detail, down to the upside-down tea service on the ceiling.
Wearing whimsical styles from Monkee’s and Coleman Collection, Alice and her well-dressed companion found a portal to another world, and just like in the classic story, “Alice had begun to think that very few things indeed were really impossible.”
Special thanks to The Rabbit Hole, Strossner’s, and Retro Marketplace.
