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.
