More than 175 guests enjoyed an evening amongst diamonds and furry friends at Provident Jewelry in Fort Myers. The second annual Forever Love for your Forever Friend event benefited the Gulf Coast Humane Society. Held at the Fort Myers Provident Jewelry showroom, the evening featured fine food from Jordan Webster Catering and a selection of the world’s most extraordinary timepieces and exquisite luxury jewels.

All proceeds from raffle ticket sales went directly to the Gulf Coast Humane Society. Raffle prizes included a Roberto Coin Tiny Treasures pendant, a 1-week lease on a 2017 Jaguar, generously donated by Jaguar of Fort Myers, numerous gift baskets donated by local businesses and a $1,000 gift certificate to Provident Jewelry.

"I look forward to our events at Provident Jewelry, because it's a great opportunity to be surrounded by beautiful jewelry and supportive friends in an intimate atmosphere. Gulf Coast Humane Society is very appreciative of Provident Jewelry, which donates a percentage of their sales throughout the year, if a customer mentions Gulf Cost Humane Society. The Forever Love event is a very fitting one to be held at Provident Jewelry and Gulf Coast Humane Society is very proud to be a part of it.” Jennifer Galloway, Executive Director.
