On the Circuit: Swan Ball 2026 Jewelry Party

On a beautiful late-spring evening, guests arrived at the stunning home of Elizabeth and Bryan Frist for an intimate luxury shopping experience. Jewelry Party co-chairs Katie Harwell Gibson and Emma Harwell Graw welcomed Swan Ball supporters to the opulent evening, which raised funds for beneficiary Friends of Warner Parks and its mission to preserve and steward Edwin and Warner Parks. Through the Nature Discovery Program, the organization expands opportunities for children across Nashville to connect with nature.

The evening showcased official Swan Ball jeweler Richters of Palm Beach. Guests moved from room to room, admiring cases filled with vintage, antique, one-of-a-kind and other exceptional pieces displayed throughout the home. Many studied the collection and tried on jewels, taking advantage of the intimate setting to determine which pieces might become the perfect addition to their collections. Dudley Richter and his brother, Stefan, visited with guests and shared details about each piece.

When guests stepped away from the jewelry displays, they enjoyed cocktails and hors d’oeuvres from Kindred Farm. Crowd favorites included caviar on a tallow chip and bluefin ahi tuna tartare.

As the sun set over Nashville, many guests lingered. Friends shared stories while others admired their new acquisitions. The evening served as the perfect prelude to the upcoming Swan Ball.
