Welcome O

ne of the many things I enjoy about the jewelry business is all the stories that go with it. There are so many. There are the stories of the jewelry itself: tales of inspiration, world travel and exploration, of rare gemstones and the designers who create one-of-a-kind pieces around them. And then there are stories that revolve around the giving of jewelry. These are often my favorites.

People buy jewelry for all sorts of reasons. Often as a gift, sometimes as a self-purchase, but usually in celebration of something. It can be as simple as a promotion at work, or as exciting as a marriage proposal. A celebration of accomplishment or of love. No matter the occasion, the giving and receiving is just another chapter in the story.

We are in a wonderful business, and we’re always reminded of that during the holiday season. ”

Our Customers PAGE 40

What makes fine jewelry so special is how it becomes a conveyor of feelings and emotions and, later, a keeper of memories. What bride can look at her ring and not remember the details of the proposal? And what son can wear his father’s timepiece without feeling closer to him?

We are in a wonderful business, and we’re always reminded of that during the holiday season. I hope we can help you tell a story of your own this year. And in our own little way, become a part of your story.

Happy holidays! I hope to see you soon.

Andy Johnson, CEO

Ronald McDonald House of Central Ohio Keeps Families Close

“There is no one way that is better than others,” Wilkins says. “We have lots of needs, and those needs could be met by time, talent or

pare change at McDonald’s makes a big difference in Columbus, home of the largest Ronald McDonald House in the world.

Every year, burger lovers donate about $300,000 to the collection boxes for Ronald McDonald House Charities of Central Ohio (RMHC). Those coins—as well as countless volunteer hours and generous private contributions—go toward providing a safe, temporary residence for families of hospitalized children in need of a place to stay.

“Keeping families close, that’s what we’re all about,” explains Ryan Wilkins, senior director of communications and facilities.

Wilkins learned these families’ struggles firsthand, when his son experienced complications after birth. Wilkins and his wife didn’t have access to a Ronald McDonald House back then; they slept on hospital couches so that they could be near their son’s bedside.

Ronald McDonald House Charities provide an alternative: all the amenities of home, all while being a short walk from Nationwide Hospital. Despite the location, RMHC hosts families from any central Ohio hospital.

On any given night, as many as 137 families, referred by nurses, might be staying the night. Volunteers come together to cook fresh meals every night and tend to household chores, while other individuals contribute their unique talents to the cause. Local organizations pitch in, too, supplying the house with supplies, monetary donations, professional guidance and more.

The next main event RMHC is planning is a “Taste of TinselTown” fundraiser on November 3, during which chefs will create dishes inspired

by McDonald’s ingredients. Tickets and more info are available at RMHCCentralOhio.org; all proceeds go to RMHC. In the meantime, the community can support the Ronald McDonald House by sharing their time and talents through volunteer efforts, or

treasure. If people are able to give their time, that’s wonderful. If they have resources to be able to give financially, that’s great. If they have a special talent that can somehow help, we love to get people involved in unique ways.”

And, of course, donations can be made at those familiar collection boxes near the McDonald’s registers. Columbus is proof that small contributions can add up.

Our family is GROWING, AGAIN. STORE 5a at Easton

F

or Short North shoppers looking for unique pre-owned jewelry, timepieces or handbags, STORE 5a was a welcome addition to the neighborhood. Helmed by store director Jesse Johnson, the boutique quickly established a reputation for excellent customer service and an unparalleled shopping experience. Now, after a full year of brick-and-mortar experience, STORE 5a is set to expand into the Easton shopping district with a freestanding store at 3985 Morse Crossing Road.

“This new location will allow us to expand our inventory of high-quality, pre-owned jewelry, watches and handbags, which we add to weekly,” says Johnson. “And we’ll be serving an area of town that we know well, with our experience from the Diamond Cellar at Easton Town Center.”

The new store, which is approximately 6,000 square feet, will feature the familiar industrial–chic feel from the Short North location. “We wanted the décor to reflect our love of the vintage-meets-modern feel we established when we launched the Store 5a concept in 2014,” says Johnson.

Store 5a specializes in pre-owned and closeout fine jewelry, Swiss timepieces and upscale handbags. They also purchase items directly from customers through their website or in-store. The items they buy must meet certain quality criteria, and then go through a thorough inspection, appraisal and in some cases overhaul, by the expert craftspeople at the Diamond Cellar.

“Our unique advantage in the vintage luxury market is our 70-year history in fine jewelry and watches,” notes Johnson.

“We have the craftsmanship, expertise and knowledge to evaluate each piece, and we stand behind everything we sell as authentic and of high quality. That’s not typically the case when you’re shopping pre-owned goods, but it’s an added value our customers have come to expect.”

The new store is set to open this holiday season and will be open Tuesday through Saturday, closed Sunday. For up-to-date information and hours, visit STORE5a.com.

WATCH OUT! Why buying and servicing your

belongs to the previous owner, an authorized dealer or the insurance company,” says Pollak. Either way, “It does not belong to you.”

Authorized retailers provide a clear paper trail of a watch’s history, can ensure that a watch comes with a manufacturer’s warranty and that parts are available should it need repair, and provide a trustworthy resource if the customer is dissatisfied for any reason. You’re also dealing with someone who’s intimately familiar with the brand. “You have the ability to speak with someone who has received the proper training on the brand you are considering,” says Hank B. Siegel of Hamilton Jewelers.

Siegel says his service center sees thousands of watches each year, and the main issues are attractive fakes, genuine cases with fake movements, watches that were originally genuine but have been altered with non-genuine parts, genuine watches with fake warranty papers, watches reported stolen, and finally, watches that are genuine but without proper import documentation and duties paid, which leaves them subject to confiscation.

“The bottom line is, unless you are buying from a retailer explicitly authorized by the watch brand, it’s buyer beware,” says Marc Green of Lux Bond & Green. “Whether from an auction house, website, non-authorized dealer, or anywhere else, there is always the looming question of whether something is genuine.”

Authorized dealers are also imperative when having a watch serviced, as an unauthorized repairman could use counterfeit parts and turn your genuine, papers-and-all watch into a Frankenstein without your knowing it. “Some say authorized service centers are too expensive and take too long,” says Green. “We say you get what you pay for. You may take your Mercedes to the corner garage for a minor adjustment, but not when major parts are needed. With watches, you want them serviced correctly with a guarantee.”

timepieces with an authorized dealer is more important than ever.

t’s not hard to avoid obvious knockoffs when it comes to luxury watches. Just be careful you’re not ambushed by a Frankenstein. “Frankenstein” is a new watch industry term rapidly spreading among consumers, who are right to be leery. The term refers to watches that have been spliced together from some parts that are genuine and some that are counterfeit. Typically made in Asia, they can easily fool the eye—especially of a buyer blinded by the prospect of getting a great deal.

The emergence of Frankenstein watches underscores the importance of buying a fine timepiece from an authorized dealer. “Buying a watch online is like gambling,” says Michael Pollak of Hyde Park Jewelers.

“Sometimes you win, but mostly you lose.”

And when you lose, you lose big, because these fakes often mimic very expensive models. A consumer spotted an $80,000 Audemars Piguet timepiece priced at a mere $40,000, Pollak recalls. But when the buyer sent it to the manufacturer for servicing, it never came back. In its place was a letter explaining that the watch was not genuine and had been confiscated for infringing on the brand’s trademark.

The buyer has no recourse, and even a seller with 100% positive feedback could claim he didn’t know the watch was a Frankenstein. For Pollak, this all comes down to the perennial problem of not knowing a watch’s provenance when buying from an unauthorized dealer. The same thing applies for watches that are stolen. The seller may not even know it, he explains, but once again, as soon as the watch is taken in for servicing, a company such as Rolex will immediately check the serial number against a database of stolen watches. If it comes up as stolen, you’ll never see it again. “According to Rolex, the watch either

True luxury timepieces, like the Patek Philippe Ref. 5170R shown here, can only be purchased from and serviced by authorized retailers.

ack to basics for the Charles Krypell jewelry design company for the 2017 holiday season, as designer and owner Charles Krypell maintains, “Innovative new jewelry designs are only appreciated when related to my collections from the past. Many have said, ‘Charles, you are only as good as your next collection.’ My design style is passionately evolving as my collectors’ standards continually rise.”

designer must not only be hands on and innovative, but must be able to produce the product, take it to market, and provide strong distribution. If you are able to stand out as a specialty designer in today’s ever–changing market, it is because of sustainability, maintenance, listening to your core customer, and the reason you will ultimately shine.”

The introduction of his Classics Redefined Krypell Collection this past year at the Las Vegas jewelry trade show was a redefined and innovative approach to luxury, exclusivity and craftsmanship. With a well -styled and fresh new modern setting technique, coveted dimensional approach, relevant and rare stone usage (as one of the exclusive vendors of Argyle pink diamonds) and with the introduction of new metals (rose gold), Krypell’s designs effortlessly adapt to customers’ current lifestyles (ability to wear his jewelry day into evening, mix and match, layer and stack).

Krypell’s newest designs focus on paying homage to the modern woman in the modern world.

Special new designs coupled with superior craftsmanship and exclusive luxury pave the way this holiday season for Krypell’s newest creations.

Krypell’s inspiration for his latest collection stems from over four decades of creating timeless jewelry for the sophisticated collector. When appearing on the jewelry scene in the late 1970s, his designer stardom was achieved through his introduction of his Krypell Collection, which consisted of the finest matched and calibrated rubys, emeralds, sapphires and diamonds in extraordinarily shapely unique designs. It did not take long for his Krypell Collection to appear in auction houses as well as museums worldwide, and at the time was far from ordinary, trendsetting towards extraordinary.

Krypell implores his customer base to go into their local retail jewelry store, to try on his designs and become part of the passion and superior design aesthetic that is the driving force behind the Charles Krypell Company. “Enjoy my work in the present because down the road, they will become generational treasures of the future.”

Fast forward to the 21st century, when Krypell has matured as a designer and business owner, innovating and cementing the infrastructure for how to see, feel, carve and create three–dimensional designs into appreciated art, i.e. jewelry. His ability to relate to the customer and tune in to the ever–changing jewelry world market was inspiration for him to reintroduce his Krypell Collection. However, Krypell knew that if he simply reintroduced his Krypell Collection in the same designs and materials as from the past, it would not be enough to excite and ignite his current customer base into purchasing his new creations.

He further maintains, “In today’s jewelry market, the sensitivity in design approach and ability to relate to the core customer has gone awry. Many design companies are now categorized as institutionalized designers versus specialty designers. Specialty designers have a strong involvement in design and maintenance towards the business. Today, a

“The only watch I wear is a Rolex my husband gave me for our anniversary. It’s a very classic look, but the meteorite dial is unique and modern. My husband was drawn to the dial because we love star gazing on a clear night.

And to think part of this watch was once hurtling through space is pretty neat.”

“My husband said when he saw this ring by Roberto Coin, he couldn’t help but buy it for me. Maybe it’s the fact that Roberto is Italian, and so am I. I love the proportion and asymmetrical design and I wear it every chance I get. I always get compliments on it.”

Wedding planning can be an emotional roller coaster. We asked licensed marriage and family therapist Marissa Nelson for advice on how to stay calm and enjoy

10TIPS

this special time in your life.

BY LAURIE SCHECHTER

TOP

OW TO DEAL WITH DIFFICULT IN-LAWS: Remember, marriage is a transition for everyone. Relationships improve with time, effort and shared experiences. Be patient, be kind, and most important, don’t take things personally.

HOW TO MANAGE CONFLICT IN YOUR BRIDAL PARTY: If you are unhappy with a bridesmaid’s actions, express yourself, says Nelson. Calmly talk to your friend about what you needed from her, how she upset or disappointed you, and how together you can move forward.

WHAT TO DO WHEN YOUR PARENTS DON’T LIKE YOUR FIANCÉ: Sit down with your parents without your other half. Clarify what their concerns are. Let them know that, while you understand, they should trust the way they raised you, Nelson advises. And remind them you know what’s best for you. Build respect and work towards acceptance through open lines of communication.

HOW TO NAVIGATE WHO DOES AND DOESN’T MAKE THE GUEST LIST: It’s important to look around the room on your wedding day and have all the people that you love and have a bond with there, celebrating with you, says Nelson. Uninvited guests may be upset, but stick to your guns.

Choose people because they’re special to you, not out of obligation.

HOW TO GET YOUR GROOM INVOLVED: Your fiancé can contribute in different ways. Some give financial or emotional support. Others help closer to the wedding day, running errands or picking people up from the airport.

Engage your fiancé so he feels his contribution matters, says Nelson. And don’t get upset if he isn’t involved in exactly the way you imagined.

HOW TO KEEP THE PLANNING AS FUN AS THE WEDDING DAY: This wedding is a reflection of your personality and vision, so have fun and get

creative with unique touches that reflect who you are as a couple, says Nelson. Be silly. Enjoy being a bride and take it easy. This is time for pampering, and excitement about the future as a Mrs. HOW TO DEAL WITH LAST-MINUTE NERVES: Nerves are to be expected as you step into this new phase of your life. But don’t let those thoughts spiral to overwhelming you. Call on your bridesmaids or maid of honor to rally around you, with love, to calm you and assure you everything is going to be okay.

HOW TO BE TRUE TO YOUR WEDDING DREAM EVEN IF OTHERS WANT SOMETHING ELSE: Being true to who you are as a couple means having a clear vision for your day, maintaining boundaries and keeping a united front. Know which wedding details are non-negotiable and which you are willing to compromise on, so that your family can be included in the process, suggests Nelson.

HOW NOT TO FEEL OVERWHELMED EVEN WITHOUT A WEDDING PLANNER: Don’t try to take on every task by yourself or suffer in silence with a long to-do list. The key word is delegate. Have a team of friends and family that you trust to help execute your wedding vision. Most importantly, says Nelson, take everything one day at a time.

SINGLE BEST ADVICE FOR THE WEDDING DAY: Detach yourself from the idea of perfection. You are stepping into and preparing for marriage. If some things don’t go as planned, it’s okay. Be present. Soak in all that is a day to celebrate love.

#SHESAIDYES

BY LORRAINE DEPASQUE

A FEW FAVORITE CUTS Perhaps celebrity engagements (Blake Lively, Julianne Hough) have played a role in its popularity, for never in recent times has the oval been so in demand. “This fancy diamond cut is one way a bride can have something out of the ordinary,” says Guttery, “and depending on how the stone is cut it can really elongate the finger and look very graceful on your hand.”

Nonetheless, according to The Knot’s study, 49% of modern brides still prefer the traditional round, while princess cuts come in as second most popular.

GEM AND METAL COLORS TO LOVE If you do decide on a classic round center diamond, another way to differentiate is by choosing a stone other than a white diamond. “Colored

gems are in vogue for bridal,” says Guttery, “especially ruby, emerald and all shades of sapphire.” He mentions aquamarine, too. Light blue gems and pink stones have notably become more sought-after in bridal since the Pantone Color Institute named Serenity (a pastel blue) and Rose Quartz (a light pink) as the 2016 Colors of the Year.

A pink gemstone set in rose gold is a beautiful, feminine, tone-on-tone look. Just the same, says Baillie, “Our latest research shows that 68% of brides still want 18K or 14K white gold for their wedding rings.” That said, more and more, as women look for artisanal flair, they’re buying yellow gold, reports Guttery. “Specifically, rich and buttery 18-karat. The glow it gives off is radiating, and the textures and patterns in yellow gold look great.”

DESIGN ’N DETAIL Whether in the precious-metal surface of your wedding ring, the prongs and bezels holding the gems, or the overall aesthetic, today’s bride is looking for detail, Guttery emphasizes. “Even if a ring itself is simple, the head may have scrollwork, a shank might have an unusual pattern of pavé diamonds and cutouts, or the focus gem may be held by artistic prongs.

Also, a lot of today’s designers are re-interpreting elements from past eras—Edwardian or Deco, for example—and incorporating them into their signature bridal styles. Something I’m definitely noticing is more ornate scrollwork.”

One last thing: Before you begin your search for that once-in-a-lifetime ring, be sure to ask your jeweler about two-stone designs, including bypass styles. It’s a retro silhouette that’s made its way into modern bridal—and lots of (soon-to-be) engaged women are falling in love with it.

hite, yellow, or rose gold? Round, square, or cushion cut?

Classic, modern, or vintage style? When deciding on an engagement ring and wedding band, the choices may seem overwhelming. “We found that one bride-to-be went online and actually looked at 3,800 engagement rings in one day,” chuckles Bernadette Baillie, director of education for TheKnot.com. “That’s huge dedication!” Baillie recalls the story while discussing the results of her popular wedding site’s 2016 Luxury Bridal Jewelry & Engagement Ring Study, for which The Knot surveyed 13,000 Millennial couples. To help get your own research underway, we also spoke with jewelry expert Benjamin G. Guttery about what’s trending in wedding ring designs, diamond cuts and colors, precious metals and more.

Out of THE BOX

Personalize your special day by throwing away the rule book.

THE PARTY DOESN’T STOP HERE

ALTERNATIVE TREATS TAKE THE CAKE Artfully arranged cupcake towers became the trendiest way to ditch the wedding cake a few years ago, but now all kinds of alternatives exist—many of which don’t include cake at all.

Donut towers: Like a Little Black Dress, this cake alternative can be dressed up or down: stacks of apple cider donuts with milk for a cozy-casual fall wedding, or carefully constructed towers of ganache-iced confections alongside espresso at more elegant affairs. Donut towers can look more traditional, too: Philadelphia-based Federal Donuts constructs displays of its treats on a tiered stand and adds decorative elements like flowers and ribbons, if desired.

Ice cream: Think DIY sundae bars packed with toppings like decadent fudge and buttery toffee bits. Or build-it-yourself ice cream sandwich tables with loads of flavor options and gooey cookies to mix and match. For a pricier but super-fun treat, hire a good old ice cream truck to roll up as the celebration winds down. Tipsy Cones is a grown-up version of the Mr. Softee truck, offering alcoholic flavors like whiskey mash, drunken French toast and watermelon mojito ice.

Throwback treats: Yes, weddings are about joining together as adults, but dessert inspires pure childlike joy. Los Angeles’ Cake Monkey specializes in gourmet versions of childhood faves like Ho Hos, Oreos and Little Debbies, whipped up with high-quality ingredients like bittersweet chocolate and fleur de sel.

The wedding was perfect, the reception was a blast… and now, the DJ is packing up as the venue staff turns on all the lights. It’s a bummer when the party comes to a close, but the fun doesn’t have to stop there. Planned wedding after-parties are on the rise, but informal post-nuptial hangouts are an easy way to keep the revelry going past midnight.

A simple option: Rent space at a bar that’s within walking distance of the reception venue. Beach brides and grooms might invite guests to a post-bash bonfire, while winter couples can host a cozy s’moresroasting session with spiked coffee.

Massachusetts teacher Jessica Dougherty and her husband Kerry opted to plan a post-wedding bowling session, complete with custom “Team Jerry” shirts, for their special day. They chose Point Lookout Resort in Maine specifically because the complex offered loads of fun options on the grounds, and they wanted to help create a full weekend getaway for their guests.

“It was so funny to see the pairings—my high school friend’s husband bowling with Kerry’s friend from Italy,” Dougherty said.

“But the real point was to have some downtime with the people who mean the most to us. I know it sounds a little corny, but we wanted the love, the moment, to last as long as possible.”

ANYTHING GOES Rigid wedding-party rules once required matchymatchy dresses and an equal number of ’maids and ’men. But selecting the party is meant to honor the people in your life, regardless of gender, age or any centuries-old guidelines. Now, anything goes: a “bridesman,” “best woman,” or “man of honor,” and the 89-year-old who served as a bridesmaid in her granddaughter’s Pennsylvania wedding last year.

Burberry employee Katelyn Venezia, 30, opted to forgo the traditional wedding party altogether for her July 2016 nuptials—but she still honored her closest friends, sans fuss.

“I didn’t want them to feel pressure or strings attached,” Venezia explains. “I felt the practice of getting everyone together to try on dresses and then having them spend hundreds on something they won’t wear again was outdated.”

So she wrote 10 girlfriends letters thanking them for their friendship and explaining her plan: she wanted the group to get ready together the morning of the wedding, but there would be no formal procession down the aisle and no matching gowns. The cards included an inspiration board, and Venezia invited each woman to choose her own dress for the wedding in one of those colors.

“I wanted to let the girls know they are so special to me,” she says. “That’s what’s important— the friendships, not the bridesmaid dress.”

FOREVERMARK’s focus on helping women in need and strengthening mining communities.

BY JULIANNE PEPITONE

hen famed National Geographic photographer Annie Griffiths visited a South African diamond mine for the first time in 1981, she was surrounded by burly male guards who kept eyes on her as they strained to hear the radio report of Princess Diana’s wedding to Prince Charles. But when she visited again in July 2015 to chronicle women’s advancement programs, she found herself instead greeted by proud female entrepreneurs and mining workers.

The women were part of De Beers’ Forevermark programs that support career training and development for women in the communities where it mines. It’s part of a larger sustainability focus aimed at “building forever”—that is, building up communities to be socioeconomically strong even after the local mines are eventually tapped.

“We tend to think of diamonds as something frivolous or symbolic,” admits Griffiths. “I’ve been working in Southern Africa for years and it never occurred to me until I saw it that the diamond business could be a real force for good in the local community.”

She met scores of women including Sophia Mphuthi, an entrepreneur who started her own driving school in Kimberley, South Africa, using money from De Beers’ Zimele fund. De Beers says the fund benefited over 62 South African businesses in 2014, creating over 1,175 jobs in farming, jewelry design and other areas. More than one-third of the people who benefited directly from that funding were women.

Overall De Beers has spent about $28 million on socioeconomic development programs, according to Nicky Black, the company’s head of social performance. Nearly 50,000 people have benefited as a result of the programs, which focus on education, entrepreneurship, health care and

other core concerns. Through the initiative, Forevermark has trained women for careers as miners, geologists, engineers, craftspeople, managers and more. “For the consumer, [forever] connotes these intense eternal emotions,” explains Black. “But for the community, it means sustainable development.

Where will we be in 20 years?”

De Beers is acutely aware that mining communities are dependent on a finite resource, and investing in women and girls ensures a possibilityfilled future. “The science shows that women play a remarkable role as connectors and foundation stones of their communities,” Black says. “When you support a woman you are in turn supporting her family, the community and society.”

It makes business sense, too, Black insists, citing studies that show “if you spend a dollar on a woman’s development you get more bang for your buck than almost any other intervention, including inoculation and sewage.

The actual outcome is greatest, and that’s what ‘forever’ means to us.”

The efforts in South Africa mirror De Beers’ larger focus on building up its female workforce across the world. Women comprise nearly 24 percent of global employees, compared to 16 percent in the mining industry as a whole. “We’re outperforming the industry and we’re pleased by that, but I think everyone would say that’s still not enough,” Black says. “We’re working to change it.”

Why buy her

diamond stud earrings at instead of a mall store? ... because they’re

most beautiful diamond studs

the you can give for the money.

Diamond Stud Earrings starting at $475.

The diamonds for each pair of earrings are precisely matched for size and quality. They are set in-house into our own Nuvola mounting that was designed for not only durability, but to position the diamond closer to the ear.

That means the diamond faces forward instead of down, making them appear brighter and with more sparkle.

Plus, you can always trade your Nuvola diamond stud earrings in toward a larger pair, so they can grow with your love.

insurance

Take no shortcuts when it comes to safeguarding your treasures.

F

SAFE

or cinephiles, the phrase “jewelry insurance” may conjure up scenes of Cary Grant as a French Riviera cat burglar in To Catch a Thief, trading quips with the austere agent from Lloyd’s of London.

In fact, insuring precious gems may be a tad less glamorous, but certainly a necessity for nearly everyone—not just wealthy dowagers showing off their jewels around a roulette table. It starts when a man decides he’s ready to propose to his sweetheart. From the moment he leaves the jeweler he should have a policy in place covering the cherished engagement ring—even before he plans his elaborate proposal scenario involving the bottom of a Champagne glass or a golf hole.

“Ideally you would receive an appraisal and insure an engagement ring right when you purchase it,” says Trina Woldt, VP and chief marketing officer of Jewelers Mutual Insurance Company, one of the oldest in the business. Most jewelry insurance claims are not due to theft but loss, “which includes accidental loss and mysterious disappearance,” she explains. “That could be anything from the dog eating it to having it fall from cold fingers while shoveling snow. And you’d be surprised how many people lose their rings on their honeymoon because they’re not used to wearing a ring and forget that fingers shrink in water.”

And on the off chance that a dashing cat burglar does enter your home, be advised that your homeowner’s policy might not provide the ideal coverage. It’s also important to note that filing a jewelry claim under your homeowner’s might cause your premium to increase dramatically.

Jeweler’s Mutual plans are comprehensive and cover any kind of loss or damage. Its policies offer to repair or replace a lost item through the jeweler of your choice. In general, specialty jewelry insurance costs about 1 to 2 percent of the value of an item per year, so a $10,000 ring would only cost

BY CHRISTIAN CHENSVOLD

THAN SORRY

$100 to $150 per year to insure. “It’s a really affordable way to safeguard items that have both monetary and emotional value,” says Woldt.

Deductibles can be as low as zero. (Watch insurance is its own category, but operates identically.)

To decide whether you need it for an engagement ring, Grandma’s pearls, or other items, look at each of them and stop to evaluate your instinctive emotional reaction to finding out that they’ve gone missing. The stronger the emotional reaction, the more reason to insure.

For those who want even more peace of mind and are more worried about theft than loss, there’s the option of acquiring a safe in addition to insurance. New York-based Empire Safe is a family business in operation since 1904, catering to both businesses and residences. Empire Safe’s products range in price from $2,500 to $35,000, and are recommended for residences with $100,000 worth of jewelry or more.

Once again, cinephiles with vivid imaginations are probably picturing stealthy thieves with high-tech equipment trying to pick a lock. In truth, what a thief really wants to do is either break open your safe or move it, so avoid an inexpensive one. “Ninety-nine percent of people selling safes don’t deal with high-end clients,” says Empire Safe president Richard Krasilovsky.

“They’re selling safes that can be opened with common tools in the house.”

The primary deterrent is weight. Empire Safe designs apartment safes that weigh 500 pounds and are secured to the floor. “They’re strong and heavy and the objective is to intimidate the burglar so he’ll go to shop elsewhere.” In houses, a ground-floor safe can weigh over 1,000 pounds, come armor-plated on all sides, and offer fire protection as an added bonus.

Because when it comes to your valued keepsakes, do you really want to take chances?

BALI HIGH

As if lolling on the sandy beaches of Bali wasn’t enough to lure you to this tropical paradise, the Ritz Carlton Bali has added another temptation.

Their special Sarong Concierge, Tresna Dewi, will take guests on a halfday journey that includes seeing samples of local textiles used to make sarongs, visiting an artisan workshop to witness the behind-the-scenes production process of Endek (Bali’s capital’s official cloth), getting an etiquette lesson on how to wear and walk elegantly in the garment, and then visiting a nearby Hindu temple, clad in their sarongs, where they can take in the site’s beautiful décor and hand carvings. Is there a better way to be a local culture vulture?

THE GOLD STANDARD We already know how lovely gold can look on your neck, wrists or ears, but it turns out it’s even better on your face. Euphorie Cosmetics’ Le Royal Luxury 24K Gold skincare line uses the precious metal in everything from an anti-aging eye mask to a cellular serum, all-day moisturizer, facial peeling gel, night cream and filler cream—and with good reason. Gold restores lost elasticity to tissue, slows down collagen depletion and breaks down elastin to prevent sagging skin. Now, your face’s luster can match the shine of your favorite pieces of jewelry!

artoons are always good for a laugh, but sometimes, they’re equally good at making us take a closer look at society. Nowhere was that truer than the cartoons featured from 1877 to 1917 in the magazine Puck, many of which are on display as part of With a Wink and a Nod: Cartoonists of the Golden Age at Chicago’s Richard H. Dreihaus Museum. The exhibition, which features 74 rare original drawings for the magazine, also includes illustrated commentary on America’s upper class by such artists as Samuel Ehrhart, Louis Dalrymple and Franklin Howarth. A companion exhibition, Gilded Age Luxury, showcases more than a dozen small luxury goods from the same period, including J.P. Morgan’s own walking stick. We suggest you run and see it before January 8, when these exhibits will close.

Heavenly REST

ost beds are for getting a good night of ZZZs, but not Swiss artist Conor Mccreedy’s latest art installation, My Blue Heaven. This ingenious, glass-encased design uses the artist’s famous Mccreedyblue pigment combined with the finest white leather, gold/brass pin buttons, and, most importantly, a specially created bed from Bernarda Beds made from the finest micro wood and top-quality silver. The wood base under the box spring was crafted from naturally fallen Austrian trees so it absorbs humidity, and the silver technology prevents any germs. As for the mattress, forget Sealy or Serta—it was personally commissioned and modeled exactly on the artist’s body and weight, movements and comforts. This one-of-a-kind work is currently traveling the world’s most renowned art fairs, and is expected to be on view during Art Basel Miami in December.
