Caviar and Jewelry for Autism Awareness in Philadelphia

April is National Autism Awareness Month. In honor of the month’s theme, and to bring attention to the cause and money towards autism research, the Rittenhouse Hotel and Lagos, purveyor of fine jewelry, are teaming up for a promotion that is as delicious as it is helpful. The Hotel just launched its own line of caviar. According to Forbes.com, the caviar comes in a 30-gram tin and is “oscietra caviar from Sturia, the flagship brand of French caviar producer Sturgeon.”

Guests of the Rittenhouse Hotel can order delicious caviar and receive a gorgeous bracelet… all while helping a great cause.

It just so happens that Lagos’ signature jewelry line is also named – you guessed it – Caviar. The line is made of “textured bead-like designs made with a variety of precious materials.” Lagos has stores throughout the country, but its Philadelphia branch is located in Rittenhouse Square, just minutes away from the Rittenhouse Hotel. This proximity made Lagos a natural partner for the Hotel.

During the month of April, patrons of the Hotel’s restaurants (Lacroix, Bar210 and the Library Bar) can pay $2,150 for “The Caviar Experience.” It comes with a serving of the Rittenhouse Hotel’s private-label caviar, along with traditional accompaniments, a bottle of Dom Ruinart Blanc de Blancs 2004 champagne, and “a Lagos Black Caviar enamel beaded bracelet with pavé diamonds set in sterling silver with 18k gold accents.” Fifteen percent of the proceeds from each package will be donated to Autism Speaks, a national organization that helps those with autism and their families.

Guests wishing to combine their experience with a stay at the Rittenhouse Hotel may do so, with package prices starting at $4,000. Fifteen percent of those proceeds will go to Autism Speaks as well. Sylvain Briens, Rittenhouse food and beverage director, says that the partnership with Lagos “makes sense.” “We can’t think of a better way to launch our private-label caviar than by working with our Rittenhouse Square neighbor and highlighting their signature Caviar line. Being able to also contribute to a charity we are all passionate about is a great bonus,” he said.
