[PHOTOS] See Bulgari & Elton John's Black Tie Dinner for Charity

Italian jeweller Bulgari has joined forces with the Elton John AIDS Foundation (EJAF) in philanthropic efforts for the next three years, commemorating the occasion with a black tie dinner hosted by Sir Elton John and David Furnish in their home art gallery on Jun 23. An exclusive list of 100 VIPs were treated to a private performance by Italian classical artist Andrea Bocelli and John himself, followed by an auction of an 18-karat white gold and diamond Bulgari necklace, the Diva’s Dream, which sold for £225 (SG$410). All funds raised during the dinner went to the EJAF.

“It’s a chance for us to welcome guests into our home to share an intimate evening where we really get to talk to everyone,” said John: “To be able to thank people for their extraordinary generosity is a special treat.”
