On Tuesday, January 8, The Terrace at the Sunset Tower Hotel in West Hollywood became a hotbed for L.A. Anglophiles as Jo Malone London devotees gathered to celebrate the launch of Karen Elson’s Birthstones by Duffy collection. The new limited-edition line of 12 art deco-style perfume bottle caps — each dedicated to a month and its birthstone — was designed by British model Elson and handmade by London-based jeweler Duffy as the perfect personal touch to a signature Jo Malone perfume.

The fragrance house welcomed guests including Amber Valletta, Dita Von Teese, Liz Goldwyn, Violet Chachki (aka Jason Dardo) and Kate Foley Osterweis to the candlelit terrace, which was painted with the signature Lime Basil & Mandarin scent, for an alfresco three-course dinner during which both Elson and Duffy gave heartfelt speeches about the exclusive collaboration. Attendees sipped Champagne and cocktails as they perused the collection’s delicate gem-like designs, which are crafted from bronze and cubic zirconia to mimic birthstones including amethyst (February), emerald (May) and sapphire (September).
