Former Miss Rhode Island, Miss USA and Miss Universe Olivia Culpo and Imperial Pearl, the largest independent pearl company in America, were in Newport, RI this week for a photo shoot.

The 2016 Imperial lifestyle shoot with Culpo was at least partially shot at Wyndham Estate, the estate of BENRUS CEO Giovanni Feroce.
