Exquisite Chopard creations, including pieces from their Golden Hearts 007 Collection and Green Carpet high jewellery collection, frosted the rooms of Tatler House—the most vibrant of them all being the necklace set with 43 carats of pear-shaped diamonds that Ana de Armas, who plays the scene-stealing Paloma, wears in the movie.

Our guests were invited to try on these magnificent pieces, all the while keeping their eyes and ears on high alert to try and suss out the femme fatale among them. 

They take their seat at the dining table. Awaiting them was an extravagant culinary experience prepared by Chef Gérald Genson, executive chef of Mandarin Oriental Hotel, which began with delicately-flavoured seafood starters before leading to entrées cooked to perfection and finishing strong with an absolutely indulgent Petite Antoine dessert made from sea salt caramel, feuillentine, praline cream, and hazelnut sponge. 

And of course, one of the most popular drinks on offer at the table was James Bond's favourite drink: martinis, shaken not stirred.
