AN ALL-STAR crowd hit Tanglewood’s Shaftel Diamonds for a luxe launch party toasting Reagan Bregman’s new jewelry line, With Love.

Nearly 100 fashionistas, beauty queens and ballplayers joined the Astros wife in celebration. Guests were welcomed withspicy “Reaggie Ritas,” served on the rocks by El Tiempo Cantina, which they sipped to the soundtrack of DJ Nicholas Yapp. Meanwhile, Chef Rey served up grilled shrimp and white chocolate covered strawberries.

With Love features elevated everyday pieces designed to last, all inspired by Reagan’s own on-the-go lifestyle, which calls for versatile and high quality yet affordable pieces that anyone could wear with ease.
