Windsor is pleased to announce that Maria Canale, the luxury jewelry brand, will be the Official Luxury Jeweler Sponsor for the 2018 Windsor Charity Polo Cup. Maria Canale will donate a Starburst Medallion Diamond Drop Necklace and Earrings, valued at $50,000, as the lead item to the charity event’s raffle.

Known as the “Jeweler’s Jeweler” Maria Canale launched her namesake jewelry line after 25 years of designing pieces for world-renowned brands such as Tiffany & Co., Movado and Harry Winston. Maria’s designs celebrate the classic American luxury of childhood summers in Rhode Island, combined with the energy and sophistication of the modern Manhattan entrepreneur.

The donated necklace and earrings will be on display throughout the Windsor Charity Polo Cup weekend, starting at the Players Reception Cocktail Party on Friday, February 16th and during the main event on Saturday, February 17th. Prior to the festivities, Maria Canale will also hold an in-store, cocktail event at Belle Cose in the nearby Village Shops on Monday, February 12th from 5 to 7 p.m., with a portion of the proceeds going to The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research and the Alzheimer and Parkinson Association of Indian River County.

“We are thrilled to have Maria Canale as an official sponsor in this year’s Windsor Charity Polo Cup,” said Jane Smalley, Director of Marketing for Windsor. “The stunning jewelry suite so generously donated by Maria is the highlight of our raffle and we cannot wait to showcase it along with more from her collection at the Belle Cose pop-up store in the event’s Retail Village.”

“I am thrilled to be the official luxury jeweler sponsor for the 2018 Windsor Charity Polo Cup. There is nothing that makes me prouder than seeing a woman enjoy the feeling of wearing my jewelry, and to combine that with aiding such amazing causes is incredibly important to me,” says Maria Canale, principal of Maria Canale.

The coveted Windsor Charity Polo Cup raffle features other exciting prizes, including Valentino and Chloe handbags donated by Holt Renfrew, Elite Airways round-trip tickets from Newark to Vero Beach, hotel and dining packages, fashion, jewelry and accessories, and children’s books and toys, to name a few.
