Rodeo Drive filming with José Eber, celebrity owner of
José Eber Salons, 224 North Rodeo Drive, Beverly Hills, California
90210 (310) 278-7646. joseeberatelier.com; and the Palace Guards at
Bernard K. Passman Galleries, 262 N. Rodeo Drive, Beverly Hills, CA
90210 (310) 246-5150.
If
you've been on a cruise ship to Grand Caymen Islands, you'll have
heard the buzz and gotten the sales pitch about black coral. Passman
is an artist whose medium is the rare black coral and he launched
one of his first enterprises in the land from whence black coral is
found, the western Caribbean. Passman's commercial success with
black coral includes jewelry and carved statues. Galleries in Grand
Cayman Islands, Beverly Hills, Las Vegas, Maui, New Orleans and
Ketchikan, Alaska sell items costing thousands of dollars with black
coral intertwined with gold and diamonds. But there are some
affordable single bead necklaces and earrings that sell for less
than $70. You'll see them posted on the company web site,
passman.com
The
idea of the Buckingham Palace Palace Guards that stand outside his
Beverly Hills store originated from his commissions for the Royal
family, including creation of silverware with black coral handles
for the late Princess Diana. Two guards in full regalia, maybe the
most photographed people on Rodeo Drive, They have the red
uniforms, the tall helmets and stand expressionless in the summer
heat, winter chill and through many assaults from teenage girls who
place money under their belts. You can take a photo in front of the
gents who do not smile and perhaps audition for the job as your
first Beverly Hills acting gig if you're a man. And for less than a
$100, you can even buy a keepsake gift such as the affordable single
bead jewelry sold at the Beverly Hills store.
