Breguet, the innovator.

Invention of the Tourbillon, 1801

With the Classique “ Grande Complication ” Tourbillon Messidor wristwatch, Breguet reinvents its most spectacular invention, the tourbillon, designed to compensate for the effects of gravity. Held between two sapphire crystals, the tourbillon floats weightless inside its carriage, while the sapphire dial offers a transparent vision of the complex proprietary movement and its meticulous hand finishing.

JOURNEY THROUGH TIME LONDON JEWELERS AND GUESTS EXPLORE THE WORLD OF PATEK PHILIPPE.

‘‘T

he pleasure of your company is requested in Geneva, Switzerland,” began the invitation for a small group of people for whom Patek Philippe means more than just another well-made timepiece. In early May, twenty couples (and devoted aficionados of the brand) joined London Jewelers’ Mark and Candy Udell on a luxurious, private look inside the world and workshops of one of the premier family watch companies in the world.

Upon arriving at the factory, marketing director Jerome Pernici greeted the guests and introduced them to the world of Patek Philippe.

Walkthroughs of the manufacturing, hand-finishing, dial, case and

bracelet workshops and factories were punctuated with visits to the Patek Philippe Museum and lunch with Philippe and Thierry Stern (the company's president and vice president). For those who admire the level of detail that goes into Patek Philippe’s exclusive haute horlogerie division (where construction of a single watch can take up to a year), the chance to meet and chat with watchmakers about the Grand Complications timepieces was a special treat.

Though everyone invited owns at least one Patek Philippe watch, and has a deep appreciation for the brand, the journey was a learning experience for all. Visits to each workshop and factory, from

FOR THOSE WHO ADMIRE THE LEVEL OF DETAIL THAT GOES INTO PATEK PHILIPPE’S EXCLUSIVE HAUTE HORLOGERIE DIVISION (WHERE CONSTRUCTION OF A SINGLE WATCH CAN TAKE UP TO A YEAR), THE CHANCE TO MEET AND CHAT WITH WATCHMAKERS ABOUT THE GRAND COMPLICATIONS TIMEPIECES WAS A SPECIAL TREAT. the architecturally sweeping primary workshops in Plan-les-Ouates (where 200 skilled watchmakers assemble over 50 different types of movements) to Perly (case and bracelet) and the recently merged dial manufacturer Cadrans Fluckiger, the group received VIP treatment and insider “sneak peeks” along the way. At the 10-year-old museum, a “temple to watchmaking,” the group enjoyed a private guided tour through over five centuries of watchmaking history (including an example of the earliest watch ever made, and Patek Philippe watches dating back to the brand’s inception in 1839).

It wasn’t all about the watches. The exclusive trip was intended to thrill

from the outset, when guests were picked up at their homes in private town cars, with all transfers and hotel stays attended to. The Mandarin Oriental, Hôtel du Rhône served as a luxurious home base, while evenings included dinner at the inventive, Michelin-starred Auberge du Lion d’Or in Geneva and the Chalet Suisse in Sauvabelin above Lausanne. From dining in private salons to a guided tour of the Medieval castle Château de Chillon in Montreux (complete with wine tasting), guests were treated to a oncein-a-lifetime journey.

TIMELESS ELEGANCE C

lassic. Elegant. Refined. Cartier continues to present luxurious collections of watches, jewelry, handbags and more, each season redefining elegant style without losing sight of the past.

Among the latest items you’ll find this season, the new Tank Anglaise. Following Tank Française and Tank Américane, Anglaise is steeped in Cartier tradition. The release was timed perfectly for a year that saw Great Britain celebrate both its queen’s Jubilee and the 2012 Summer Olympics. The new watch is a pure, “distilled” imagining of the Tank watch, with a concentrated yet bold form. Timeless Tank features— such as Roman numerals, a strap seamlessly incorporated into the case, and blued-steel sword-shaped hands—meld with new elements like a winding mechanism that blends into the brancard, and an updated, stylized case. It is available in three women’s and men’ sizes, in three colors of gold (also encrusted with brilliant-cut diamonds). The open back on the large models reveals a Manufacture MC 1904 movement.

Adding fresh creativity to the Cartier portfolio, the new Tank Folle watch channels the Dali-esque “Crash” watch of the 1960s. This time around, the warped form is rectangular, not circular, evoking the Tank lineage. Featuring an Anthracite Grey brushed canvas strap, 18-carat rhodium-plated white gold case and bezel, set with brilliant-cut diamonds, the watch is both playful and harmoniously restrained.

Limited to 200 timepieces.

Cartier Trinity Pearls is a new collection that explores a timeless genre from a modern perspective. The name reflects three colors of gold—pink, white and yellow—looping and intertwining through each piece. Clusters of freshwater pearls in white, grey, violet and orange, along with specialty items like blonde pearls from the South Seas and the rare gold pearl from Australia, punctuate and animate the bracelets, necklaces, rings, earrings and more.

Find these collections and more of the world of Cartier on display at the newly expanded Cartier Boutique at London Jewelers Americana Manhasset, set to open in early November. Accessible via its own entrance, the expanded, redesigned space provides customers over 2,000 square feet to shop, along with the latest in display and lighting technologies.

SCHOOL OF ROCK On” step delves into both the symbolic h i s t o r y o f j ewe l r y and an exploration of understanding jewelry craftsmanship from ancient artisan techniques to the latest technologies. Finally, in the “Revealing” step, participants enter the Van Cleef & Arpels “Universe” and observe the stepby-step creation of the brand’s iconic jewels by designers and craftsmen in the workshop. Throughout, participants have access to an Experience Salon to try on jewelry pieces and a Salon-Library for ongoing, in-depth discussions. Themed lectures and programs, such as the recent “Exceptional Women for Exceptional Jewels,” take place in the space from time to time, offering visitors the opportunity to learn more about the world of jewelry from experts.

Individual modules run from €600 to €950 (about $740 to $1,170 at current conversion rates) with the complete course offered most months in French or English. Or you can break up your study over several months (Oh, darn! Multiple trips to Paris!). Participants must complete at least two modules in the “Unveiling” and “Shedding Light On” steps before taking a “Revealing” course. Modules sell out a month or two in advance, so booking ahead is recommended. For more information, visit lecolevancleefarpels.com or call +33 1 70 70 34 00.

L'ECOLE VAN CLEEF & ARPELS PROVIDES AN INSIDER’S LOOK INTO FINE JEWELRY CRAFTSMANSHIP.

A

ficionados have long participated in intensive courses designed to provide insight into their passions: cooking classes in Capri, yoga retreats in Costa Rica. Now, thanks to Van Cleef & Arpels, those seeking a deeper appreciation of the art and craft of fine jewelry making can whet their whistle in the City of Light.

Located inside an 18th-century townhouse on Paris’ Place Vendôme, L’Ecole Van Cleef & Arpels is a hands-on progressive learning process, allowing a small group of students inside the multi-faceted world of jewelry creation. The non-technical course consists of three major steps— “Unveiling,” “Shedding Light On” and “Revealing’’—designed to walk participants through the process from start to finish. Steps are divided into a total of eight, four-hour modules (purchased separately and offered over the course of several months), taught by professional jewelers, art historians, gemologists and more. Class sizes are limited for maximum instructor interaction and hands-on opportunities.

Like an intensive wine appreciation course, L’Ecole participants begin with the basics: history, a primer on gemstone origin and shaping, and the redefined rules on jewelry mixing and matching. Inspecting stones under a jeweler’s loupe and learning how to interpret them, the “Shedding Light

REACH FOR THE STARS

I

n 1932, Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel debuted her Bijoux de Diamants collection, an opulent range of diamond platinum bracelets, rings, necklaces and brooches. As notable for its use of gemstones and precious metals (as opposed to Chanel’s very fashionable costume jewelry) as its innovations (light and delicate pieces, free of clasps), the collection marked the House of Chanel’s move into haute jewelry. Eighty years later, Chanel Fine Jewelry commemorates the anniversary with “1932,” a collection of 80 pieces inspired by Bijoux de Diamants, available in the Chanel Boutique at London Jewelers Americana Manhasset for a limited time, and by special order.

The collection highlights astral images, such as comets, stars and suns common to Chanel Jewelry to this day. New to the design motifs is Leo the Lion, Mademoiselle Chanel’s star sign and favorite animal. The classic Chanel symbols (which also include fountains, fringes, ribbons and feathers) have been reinterpreted for 1932.

At the time, Mlle. Chanel said she intended the pieces to be lightweight, delicate and multi-functional, reflecting the freedom of movement of the modern woman. “I want to cover women with constellations,” she told the papers. “Nothing more harmonious, more sumptuous or lighter could be imagined than these stars that appear to gently glide around the neck.” ‘‘Etoile Filante” is a reimagining of Chanel’s original “Comète” necklace, and invokes the same lightness of feeling and movement. The necklace features a cascade of chains with baguette-cut diamonds and a large diamond star to be positioned as desired, or removed altogether and worn as a brooch. Pieces in the “Cosmos” range highlight the crescent moon and stars, while other ranges, such as “Franges,” “Fontaine” and “Nuit de Diamants” elegantly riff on haute couture themes from almost a century ago, while still exhibiting contemporary style and technique. The “Céleste” brooch (not pictured) evokes the galaxy at work, with networks of diamond stars and concentric rings of brilliant-cut diamond “planets,” all encircling a 79-carat Baroque cultured pearl from Australia.

As Mlle. Chanel demonstrated eighty years ago, the 1932 Collection is designed to be layered, mixed, matched and improvised. After all, today’s woman is even more free and in control of her cosmic destiny than ever before.

ondon Jewelers is pleased to be exclusively designing and creating, once again, the gorgeous Fantasy Bra (presented for the first time as a gift set) for lingerie innovator Victoria’s Secret. The one-of-a-kind bra and belt set, valued at $2.5 million and enhanced with precious gemstones, is its own closely guarded secret, only to be fully revealed in the Christmas Dreams & Fantasies catalogue, hitting mailboxes this October, and at the high-profile 2012 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show.

The Floral Fantasy Gift Set utilizes a customdesigned Victoria’s Secret Very Sexy Push-Up bra that has been blinged out by London Jewelers exclusively for Victoria’s Secret, and is paired for the first time with a coordinating belt. The pieces, inspired by the idea of a dreamy fantasy garden filled with vibrant flowers and heavenly Angels, are adorned by London Jewelers to exact specifications with over 5,200 handset gemstones, including white, pink and yellow diamonds, rubies, sapphires, amethyst and tsavorite, all set in 18K yellow and rose gold. The bra features two removable diamond flower pins, and the drop centerpiece is decorated with a 20-carat white diamond.

The bejeweled set will be modeled by Victoria’s Secret Angel Alessandra Ambrosio at this year’s fashion show. Though the Brazilian model is no stranger to the fashion world, it’s her first time modeling the Fantasy Bra, a prestigious honor.

In addition to the Fantasy Bra Set, London Jewelers has designed and created a one-of-a-kind bottle for the lingerie brand’s signature Bombshell Fantasy Fragrance, valued at $500,000. It consists of Victoria’s Secret’s best-selling blend of purple passion fruit, Shangri-la peony and vanilla orchid in a blinged out bottle encrusted with sapphires, tsavorite, a 10carat diamond, and features a one-of-a-kind, handcarved tourmaline butterfly surrounded by diamonds.

London Jewelers is gearing up to be on hand as the official luxury jeweler for the 2012 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show. The show will be filmed in New York City, with the latest collections modeled by the gorgeous VS Angels. Expect musical performances by the industry’s top entertainers and plenty of celebrity appearances.

Tune in December 4th on CBS to watch the Victoria’s Secret Angels strut their stuff on the runway and watch Alessandra model the Floral Fantasy Gift Set.

TESTIMONIALS

‘‘I

’ve only had great experiences with them,” says Barbara, a lifelong resident of Glen Cove. “They helped me with my daughters’ engagement rings and wedding bands, I’ve purchased jewelry there for myself, my daughters and now my granddaughters. My husband even shops there for anniversaries and other celebrations.”

Barbara and her husband have been married for 50 years, and their experience with London Jewelers dates back to their wedding. “We went into the original store at the ripe old age of 18 to buy our gold wedding bands,” she recalls. “They were $75 apiece and it took us a couple of months to pay them off!” Today, she considers her friendship with Mark and Candy Udell, and the rest of the London Jewelers family, strong. “I have three children and seven grandchildren. With every milestone in my life, London has helped me celebrate with truly beautiful, exquisite pieces of jewelry. And their customer service has always been the best.”

Barbara, who deals most often with Glen Cove sales associate Lisa, appreciates the personalized care she receives. “She knows my taste, and will call me and suggest a certain stone or piece if I’m looking for one,” she says. “It’s always helpful and never feels as if she’s pushing.” Barbara has made a point to get to know everyone on the floor and finds them cordial and helpful. “I can name everyone in the store, right up to Darren the security guard, Sal, Karen and Claire, among others.

They all make time for me, sit down with me and make me very comfortable.”

Among her favorite pieces are two watches—a Chopard she received about 15 years ago, and a ladies Carl F. Bucherer—along with a large solitaire ring enhanced with diamond trillions. Her 50year relationship with London Jewelers now counts two younger generations as fans: her daughters, who selected their engagement rings and wedding bands, and her grandchildren. “I bought my granddaughter a watch, and now I’m buying my grandson a beautiful gold cross. I think they are keepsakes that will stay memorable for them.”

A half-century is a long time to stay faithful to anything, let alone a retail store. Barbara credits her loyalty as a customer to the entire London Jewelers family and their dedication to long-term service. “They’re really one of the last multi-generational, family-owned stores on Long Island. I respect that. It’s an extremely important element to creating the kind of relationship that lasts for 50 years and across so many generations.”

FAMILY AFFAIR LONDON JEWELERS SPANS THE GENERATIONS.

‘‘M

y mother always loved the Udell family. My earliest memories of London Jewelers are of my mother and I visiting the Glen Cove store, where she and Mrs. Udell would sit there and just talk, talk, talk.” As Mimi and each of her five siblings turned 21, her mother would mark the occasion with a new Rolex watch, a tradition she continued with each grandchild. “If there was a need for jewelry or nice presents, my mother would take us there.”

The last of the family to stay on Long Island, Mimi still continues to shop at London Jewelers. “Now my children go there as well. My daughters have all had their ears pierced there: that was the only place I would allow them to do it! That was really the start of our current long-term connection with them.”

Mimi praises the Udell family legacy that has allowed London Jewelers to expand and adapt to the times, without losing its heritage or personality. “My mother is now 90 and living in Virginia, but she would be amazed by how the store has expanded into Wheatley Plaza, Manhasset, East Hampton and Southampton.

“They’re a wonderful family and it’s a terrific atmosphere, no matter which store you go into,” says Mimi. “When you go into one of the big department stores you’re just another customer, or if you go in wearing jeans and sneakers, they don’t take you seriously. That doesn’t happen at London Jewelers. They don’t judge someone based on their appearance.” Mimi’s work with dogs has allowed her to know Candy Udell well in her facility as founder of the Rescue Paw Foundation. “We work together in a different capacity, and still the connection is there.”

She counts the Rolex watch her mother gave her at 21 as one of her prized possessions, as well as a strand of pearls she wears constantly. “All my jewelry comes from London Jewelers.”

Today, Mimi carries on the traditions her mother began. “Now I’m the one getting presents: I’ve bought engraved belt buckles for graduations, key chains, you name it. Every time I go into the store, I still can see Mrs. Udell and my mother sitting next to her, talking and talking.”

COLOR THERAPY GOSHWARA DESIGNER SWETA JAIN TAKES COLORED GEMSTONES TO NEW HEIGHTS.

J

ust as the industry was beginning to panic due to mundane, recycled trends, designer Sweta Jain appeared with Goshwara. High-grade colored stone jewelry set with 18K gold and platinum is bringing a whole new definition to fine jewelry. We experienced the colorful world of Goshwara while interviewing Jain.

How did you get started? My father is a color stone dealer. When I was young, I traveled with him to the mines in Africa. As I matured, I gained more interest in building my own brand. I launched my company in 2007, only supplying one-of-a-kind pieces to private clientele and fine houses.

This period allowed me to grow and expose a different side of colored gemstone jewelry. After the success of my exceptional pieces, I decided to fill a void in the market for luxuriously fun pieces, enhancing Goshwara into a collection-based brand in 2009.

What inspires you to create? The initial inspiration to create is from the gemstone itself. After examining shape, cut, color and quality, the design process begins. Goshwara is dedicated to creating unique silhouettes, especially apparent in the G-One collection, made up of exclusive pieces.

This process of designing from the stones aids us in keeping the collections fresh and exciting.

How important is it to educate your customer about colored gemstones?

Being in the jewelry industry requires an adequate level of education.

Although color has been in the industry for centuries, we are moving into an era when emerald, ruby and sapphire are not the only colored stones being identified with fine jewelry. Stones such as rubellite, spessartite (mandarin garnet) and tanzanite have set the industry ablaze in the last decade. In order to keep this fire lit, the consumer and vendor need to recognize the story behind each stone they carry. The origins, durability and history of these stones all become fascinating facts to the consumer. This

30

also helps them realize the smart investment they are making, which can be enjoyed for years. We need to promote “longevity buying” within the community of jewelry. It’s been lost.

What is the definition of Goshwara, and how have you incorporated it into your collections? In the courts of Persian and Indian Kings, goshwara was a term used to describe a perfect teardrop shape. Forming a silhouette of perfect proportions, this shape also embodied the essence of femininity, with its luxurious curves. It was known that only the finest of craftsmen could create a goshwara. The royal court would only allow the most immaculate pieces to be present. We use the idea of pristine craftsmanship today to create Goshwara’s intricate collections. Our jewelry is designed and manufactured to exude sensuous curves with colorful confidence. Take a look at our Naughty collections to spot a true goshwara!

As a newly recognizable name, what struggles have you endured while building your brand? This has been a great learning experience for our team.

Our product is extremely focused in look, but vaster in price point. We’re pretty young, so it’s been a welcome challenge to locate our target market, since it changes from state to state. When working solely with color, it’s great to stay up-to-date with more than one area in the industry. Tasks—including staying current with trends/social media, store visits, training the in-house and retail staff—prove effective. Participating in trunk shows aids us in direct consumer feedback. These are all challenging, yet rewarding, aspects of being new to the scene. We’re growing with the industry. It’s exciting!

Besides creating exquisite jewelry, what else are you passionate about?

Creating balance with work and family is crucial to your mental health. Family to me is extremely important, so I am passionate about spending time with them. Whether my children spend time with me in the office or I’m attending a family function, time spent with relatives always keeps me fulfilled.

COLOR POPS WARM GOLD AND BRIGHT SEMI-PRECIOUS GEMS BRING MARCO BICEGO’S FALL COLLECTION TO LIFE. BY JILLIAN LAROCHELLE

Marco Bicego’s Murano collection is inspired by the graceful glassware and ornaments created in this Italian island village.

I

n the 13 years since launching his collection, one thing has remained unchanged for jewelry designer Marco Bicego: his love of gold.

“Almost all of our collecitons are crafted from 18 karat yellow gold. It’s intrinsic to our brand DNA,” says the Italian native with goldsmithing in his family’s history. His loyalty to the metal makes for a smooth transition among collections and pieces that can be mixed, matched and layered.

“I don’t really see jewelry as a trend,” Bicego tells us. “Each season our customers gravitate towards certain [different] silhouettes, but there are always constants in jewelry. It’s about a woman’s connection to a piece—an emotional feeling.”

This fall, the designer is excited to introduce the new Murano collection, inspired by the Italian village located off the shore of Venice and known for

its glassmaking. Intricate, delicate Murano ornaments and jewelry adorn shop windows along the narrow streets of Venice, and it is this beauty and history Bicego invokes. “The collection features vivid, semi-precious stones, such as amethyst and citrine,” he says. Bicego is an avid traveler, and often names his collections—Africa, Jaipur, Siviglia, Positano—after the destinations that inspire him.

When he’s not busy dreaming up new designs, Bicego relishes the chance to spend time with his wife and children, compete in his local soccer league and hunt for wild mushrooms. He is frequently found outdoors, exploring his surroundings and searching for new ideas in “the beauty I find in everyday life, colors in nature and architectural design.” And of course, he adds, “I always try to imagine what my clients want to wear next!”

Getting Personal

What are you reading? I just bought a new apartment in Venice, so I’ve been looking to the shelter magazines for design inspiration.

What are you wearing? I try to wear pieces that are relaxed and casual and fit into my everyday life—mostly Armani.

What are you eating? Anything with fresh, local ingredients. And always vino!

Where are you traveling? Since Basel, it’s been a whirlwind: I’ve been to London, Mykonos (Greece) and Hong Kong. One of my favorite trips was to the village of Murano!

PROFILE

LOOKING BACK B

WHILE SYLVA & CIE’S JEWELRY IS VINTAGE-INSPIRED, DESIGNER SYLVA YEPREMIAN IS THOROUGHLY MODERN.

orn in Lebanon, Sylva Yepremian has been a Los Angeles resident since she was a teen. She and her husband, Raffi, helm the five-year-old designer jewelry line Sylva & Cie. Inspired by vintage pieces from the early 20th century, Yepremian’s artisanal pieces are designed and manufactured in Los Angeles. Though her father was a jeweler, it was the death of her aunt in 1992 that drew her initially into the retail side of jewelry sales, and soon into design.

“I’ve always been in the arts; originally what I wanted to do was paint.

That was my passion,” says Yepremian. “But my father’s a master bench jeweler (designing for brands and custom orders) and has been working in the industry since he was 13 years old. One night, when I was 19, I was working all night on a graphic design order due the next day, and he said, ‘After you deliver the posters, why don’t you come by my work and let’s talk.’”

He offered to pay Yepremian to help him out. “It was a lot more than I was making as a painter, and it was fascinating.”

Yepremian herself is engaging and attractive, smiling as she talks, and seemingly never letting even the most challenging moments bring down her positive outlook on life. Her original collection came about following her husband’s diagnosis with Parkinson’s Disease. “I was in Ethiopia with my father, for my uncle’s wedding,” she recalls. Her husband was importing gold at the time, which required daily monitoring of the market and long hours. “He called me and said, ‘We have to do something. I want to have a good time.’ I came back from Ethiopia, we put the company together and we haven’t looked back. It’s been a really amazing journey, and Raffi gets to play golf every Thursday.”

Sylva’s designs are inspired by her passion for (and extensive collection of) jewelry from the Art Nouveau and Georgian eras. “For me, that’s the pinnacle of what was really the best of the best,” she says. “These pieces were handcrafted from sheets of metal, jewelers worked on them for months at a time, and a woman might only own one beautiful piece that she wore for special occasions.”

Times have changed, and Yepremian designs her collections with a modern sensibility. “We don’t save our jewels for only a special night out anymore. I want my clients to be able to wear them to work and dinner, every day.” She also designs with an eye to today’s desire for clunkier, less precious delicacy, while maintaining elegance.

“I design for me, for what I like,” she insists, with respect paid to the handcrafted, artisanal jewelry of the past. Yepremian reclaims vintage

36

stones, incorporating them into the designs. “85 percent of the time, I calibrate the diamonds myself, and I always give the line-up a little bit of a variable. I like things to seem less contrived, and a little more organic. If I see an opal, and there’s not another like it in the world, I don’t care. If it’s only going to make one ring, then it will. I feel like that’s how the jewelers of the past worked: They made beautiful, wearable pieces of art.”

ISLAND GETAWAY

CAPRI'S GRAND HOTEL QUISISANA CELEBRATES 150 YEARS OF ELEGANCE.

T

he moment you set sail from Sorrento or Amalfi toward the storied Italian island of Capri, you enter a different, more relaxed mindset.

While the Amalfi Coast radiates its own dramatic beauty, navigating the cliffside roads and seasonal vistors can be anything but calming. Capri, in all its elegance, isolation and attitude, is a retreat from the retreat. The Grand Hotel Quisisana is yet another layer of separation: a refined oasis far from the madding crowd.

Capri has been a resort retreat since the time of the Emperors Augustus Caesar and Tiberius, though it lay dormant for a thousand years after, until “rediscovered” by vacationing 19th-century Germans and Englishmen. Today daytrippers ferry over from the coast to shop, and celebrities stake their claims, but for many, Capri is still the ideal luxury hideaway. Small enough to minimize what you feel obligated to do, refined enough to avoid feeling like some sort of Italianate dude ranch.

Built in 1845 first as a sanatorium, Hotel Quisisana (which means “here one heals”) has long been a fixture of elegance and refinement for world weary travelers. Marketed initially as a health retreat, the state-of-the-art QuisiBeauty La Prairie spa and fitness center is still a centerpiece of the resort. The hotel itself celebrated its 150th anniversary last year, and its sense of tradition and style is classic, but never out of date. Plush, monumental furnishings and sweeping staircases evoke a palatial retreat filled to the brim with the swag of colonization. Dine at the still-new Rendez-Vous, on executive chef Stefano Mazzone’s masterful cuisine at Quisi, or at the (somewhat) more casual La Colombaia next to the sparkling azure pool. The view from the deck and many of the rooms—overlooking the Tyrrhenian Sea—can’t be beat.

When you're ready to venture away from the serene confines of the hotel, the Blue Grotto, Caprese salad at Quattro Passi or Da Luigi, and the labyrinthine streets of Capri Town will be there to welcome you, along with the shoppers buying handmade leather sandals at Da Costanzo. Perhaps one more dip in the pool first...

The Grand Hotel Quisisana is located at Via Camerelle 2. Visit quisisana.com or call +39 081 837-0788 for more information.

FOOD

EAT. DRINK. LOVE. ARTISANAL CUISINE IS ON DISPLAY AT ITALY’S SALONE DEL GUSTO.

I

taly and food are inseparable. Unlike many parts of the world, each region in Italy (the country celebrated its 150th anniversary of unification just last year) boasts a distinctive food and wine culture, influenced by geography, proximity to the ocean and neighboring/occupying cultures throughout history. Preserving this culinary complexity and celebrating artisanal products has become the mission of Salone del Gusto and Terra Madre, two biennial slow food and beverage festivals, which take place in Turin over four days in October.

This year, the two tributes to all things delicious and handmade are combined into a single event, open to the public. Wandering an exhibition hall filled with charcuterie, biodynamic wines and branded booths may not seem like many people’s first choice when visiting Turin in Italy’s Piedmont region: the Shroud, the original Eataly food hall, and 2006 Winter Olympic village might all take precedence. But it’s worth it to carve out the time and arrive with an empty belly. Laid out like an expansive weekend marketplace across three pavilions of the Lingotto Fiere Exhibition Centre, the event celebrates the concept of “slow” food: sustainable, natural and artisanal products representing the relationship between food and culture. This year’s event also features Slow Food U.S.A.’s booth highlighting some 250 “delegates,” including natural foods advocate Alice Waters, heirloom

45

apples, The Greenville Earth Market and the Navajo-Churro sheep, a hardy breed introduced to the Southwest in 1540. Wander the floors, sample the cheeses, honeys, wines and meats, and you’ll be enjoying a cross-section of modern and historic Italy. From Trentino to Calabria, you’ll savor treats from all the regions under one roof.

“Italian wine culture is an old concept,” says Gariglio Giancarlo, editor of the Slow Wine guide from Slow Food Editore Magazine, which published its first English edition this fall and hosts seminars and tastings throughout the course of the Salone. “It’s important to speak about the system, and the way the wine is made, not only the quality. We want to know more about the producers and the way of life of these producers.”

New to the festival this year is the “Piazza della Pizza,” ideal for tourists hungering to discover a broad range of some of Italy’s best pizza chefs employing Slow Food Presidia products. Visitors can also swing through the “Street Food” section, which recreates authentic quick eats from food stands around the country, or check out Foods that Changed the World, a traveling exhibition incorporating photography, educational games and a children’s vegetable garden. Mangia!

Salone del Gusto / Terra Madre takes place October 25-29, 2012. The next event occurs in 2014.

t takes a lot of nerve to ask someone to marry you, and just as much to accept. It shouldn't require as much moxie to step into a jewelry store and shop for a ring. TWO by LONDON, The Engagement Shop at London Jewelers Americana Manhasset, is designed to remove the mystery

At TWO by LONDON, customers can try on prototypes to their hearts’ content.

and stress of buying the perfect engagement ring and wedding band.

The moment you enter the space—a meticulous blend of elegant design and high-tech minimalism—you know you're not dealing with a runof-the-mill diamond shop. Here you encounter a friendly sales team,

displays containing hundreds of sample ring designs to try on without asking, and interactive flat screens with a library's worth of up-to-date information on everything from mining to stone cutting to testimonials from satisfied customers. Each element of the store is specifically designed to make the process of buying rings as smooth, transparent and enjoyable as possible. The comfort level of the customer is very important here. It's not just about buying a ring, but actually starting a conversation.

For this reason, the store appeals to both men and women (and their parents) in search of the perfect ring. All too often, men report beginning their search at seemingly fly-by-night operations (recommended by friends of friends) they'd never bring their fiancĂŠes / wives back to, only to find themselves face-to-face with an aggressive sales staff and conflicting or suspicious information about the quality of the jewelry. That doesn't happen here.

At TWO by LONDON, the sales team is low key and those in search of information can make one or a hundred visits before making any long-term decisions. It may seem, based on random internet searches, that the intrinsic quality of jewelry can't be trusted or quantified. It can. Diamonds are GIA certified through a meticulous, multi-step process. Platinum is hallmarked and graded. Gold and gemstones have their own externally certified qualification systems. Take a ring from any reputable jeweler to any other for analysis, and the quality of the stones and metal remains the same (though, of course, the craftsmanship and design may vary). At TWO by LONDON you can educate yourself on these issues, or ask the friendly, knowledgeable staff. Ask no questions, ask a few, ask a lot. There is no wrong way to approach the experience.

Once you're ready to decide on a ring, hundreds of sample rings are available to try on right there (no need to ask the staff to pull each one out, pensively wondering about the price), with prices beginning at $1,500 and styles available for almost any budget. You can purchase from the vast selection of ready-to-wear rings, or enter a code found on each sample ring into one of several kiosks (again, no need to ask the sales team if you don't

55

want to) and begin to customize the ring of your dreams. The possibilities are virtually endless. Change the cut or carat size of the diamond, add trillions or pavĂŠ, add a birthstone or other colored gemstone. Customize the metal or the setting. The combination of ready-to-wear luxury and the ability to personalize it through high-tech interaction means TWO by LONDON appeals across the generations and to all types of people, from the experienced aficionado to the nervous newbie.

The shop isn't only for young couples arriving straight from the Apple Store. Technology is a part of TWO by LONDON, but it's only one piece of the pie. People seek something tangible, and they want a relationship before, during and after the purchase. The versatility of the shop means it's also ideal for those seeking to remount a family heirloom or an existing stone for a new start. Whether it's your first time in a jewelry store or you're a frequent shopper, TWO by LONDON is here to help.

CHERRY FESTIVAL T

he cherry blossom is an enduring symbol of Japanese heritage. So important, in fact, that cherry trees first donated by Japan to Washington D.C. and New York in 1912 are still honored a century later. To celebrate the short-lived, delicate flowers, Mikimoto introduced this year’s Cherry Blossom Collection, a subset of the “Flora” collection.

Consisting of a necklace, bracelet and earrings adorned with Akoya cultured pearls and five-petaled cherry blossom motifs in diamonds, set in 18K white gold, the collection embraces both the legacy of Mikimoto and the

58

spirit of Japan. Having first developed the technique for cultivating pearls in 1893, Mikimoto has gone on to create wearable art that strives for perfection.

The pearls used in the Cherry Blossom collection come from Akoya oysters in Japan, which produce high-luster pearls in a range of rich colors.

Mikimoto creates elegant jewelry featuring a wide range of cultured and natural pearls and incorporating stones such as diamond and icy jade on platinum, white gold and rose gold. Whether for weddings, galas or everyday wear, you’ll find a pearl that’s right for you.

to continue in 2013 as designers, manufacturers and retailers expand their collections,” says Kevin Reilly, director of business development for the trade group Platinum Guild International.

What makes platinum such an alluring option for jewelry?

• It is extracted naturally white, so its luster won’t fade (like rhodium-plated white gold) or oxidize (like silver).

• It is thirty times rarer than gold.

• It is more dense than gold or silver, making it durable and long lasting.

• It holds gemstones more securely, and does not wear away or change shape.

• Natural wear and tear that does occur adds character to the piece.

• Despite being so durable, its malleability and ductility allows it to be crafted into detailed, intricate designs, or carved to highlight lustrous “negative space.”

• It is generally sold at 95% pure and is naturally hypoallergenic.

• Palladium, a less-precious member of the platinum-group metal, enjoys a newfound popularity in jewelry in its pure form, thanks to improved casting technologies.

LONDON JEWELERS CELEBRATES PLATINUM IN MANY WAYS THROUGHOUT OUR STORES: A $20,000 RITANI diamond platinum ring was the grand prize at this year’s Race for the Ring, and platinum bands and settings from a wide variety of designers were on display during this summer’s Wedding Band Weekend. Designers

and representatives from several brands were on hand for the nextlevel trunk show concept, showcasing unique pieces and offering special pricing. Many styles, materials and price ranges are on display, but platinum is definitely a

popular option for both designers and customers.

he world is filled with metals: 75% of the elements on the periodic chart are classified as metals and another half dozen as metalloids.

Over the centuries, humans have crafted many more through alloy techniques. Yet only a few are rare and practical enough for use in fine jewelry. Among the precious metals, platinum stands out for its beauty, luster and durability when it comes to earrings, necklaces and especially engagement and wedding bands.

Platinum, (from the Spanish diminutive “platina” or “little silver”) has been honored as precious by cultures dating back 3,000 years or more, including ancient Egyptians and Incans. In the 18th century, Europeans recognized both its beauty in jewelry (King Louis XVI of France declared it the only metal good enough for kings) and applications in science (the noncorrosive metal is still in use today to create standards for metric mass, and in pacemakers and catalytic converters). During the 20th century, the metal truly found its home in fine jewelry, thanks in part to Louis Cartier in the early 1900s, and its later flaunting by Hollywood royalty in the 1930s.

Beginning in the 1980s or so, platinum witnessed a resurgence in popularity among brides-to-be.

or the third annual Long Island Race for the Platinum Ring, presented by TWO by LONDON, The Engagement Shop at London Jewelers, couples were asked a simple question: “What would you do with the ring if you won?” Among the thousands of clever responses posted on liraceforthering.com, 300 couples who posted their “love stories” were selected to participate in a scavenger hunt for a $20,000 diamond platinum engagement ring by RITANI. Competitors raced through the streets of downtown Glen Cove, cell phones in hand, seeking clues and directions from storefronts, historical markers and more that would lead them to the ultimate prize. Teams donned orange “Race for the Ring” T-shirts and, using technology from mobile

gaming company SCVNGR, earned points as they completed each new challenge. The event culminated at the elegant event hall The Metropolitan, where winners were announced and one proud couple—Lisa and Christopher—earned the right to show off the RITANI ring (he dropped down on one knee and proposed to her on the spot). The second place prize was quite nice as well: A fivenight honeymoon vacation stay at the JW Marriott Ihilani Resort and Spa at Ko Olina, Oahu, Hawaii (airfare provided by Hawaiian Airlines). All participants received gift bags filled with giveaways and special offers from sponsors.

HAWAII FIVE-AHHHH

MARRIOTT RESORTS IN HAWAII INVITE YOU TO RELAX AND REFRESH.

L

ondon Jewelers was fortunate enough to partner with Marriott Resorts Hawaii, providing incredible prizes in this year’s Race for the Ring and Wedding Band Weekend events. The islands of Hawaii have become increasingly popular (once again) in the past few years for destination weddings, honeymoons and family adventures. Resorts and hotels have stepped up their game with large-scale renovations, luxury packages and magnificent spa, golf and recreation experiences.

For the 3rd Annual Long Island Race for the Ring on June 9, the JW Marriot Ihilani Resort and Spa at Ko Olina, Oahu offered a five-night honeymoon vacation stay, with airfare provided by Hawaiian Airlines, to the runner-up. Located only thirty minutes from the airport, it’s hard to believe how secluded you feel on arrival. Hillsides covered with vibrant bougainvillea and lush vegetation separate the carefully manicured 640acre resort from the relative hustle minutes away. Opportunities abound at Ko Olina, which underwent a major interior renovation this summer: The nearby championship course at Ko Olina Golf Club, The Reef and Ray program allowing families to get up close and personal with sharks, stingrays and other aquatic life, and Naupaka Terrace, providing fine dining that incorporates locally procured seafood, herbs and vegetables.

The centerpiece of the resort is the recently redesigned Ihilani Spa featuring a new couple’s treatment room, fitness center and salon. In addition to its relaxing design, the spa features one of only two authentic Thalasso water therapy treatments in the U.S. Fresh ocean water, rich in

minerals, is piped to the Thalasso tub; the therapy opens the skin’s pores while hydro jets massage and colored light therapy soothes. To reap the full benefits of the spa, book the Ho’Onanea Private Suite, perfect for bridal parties, guys getaways and other special events.

The Kauai Marriott Resort on Kalapaki Beach provided a Hawaiian Honeymoon package as a raffle during the TWO by LONDON Wedding Band Weekend event, June 29 through July 1. Reflecting the Pacific serenity of the island of Kauai, this 800-acre resort in the Kauai Lagoons is ideal for couples and families alike. Both the hotel and its freestanding luxury villas were part of a recent $50 million transformation. The site boasts Jack Nicklaus Signature golf at the Kauai Lagoons Golf course, and the largest single-level swimming pool (210 feet in diameter) in all of Hawaii, complete with five saunas, whirlpools and four waterfalls. Refresh at the Alexander Day Spa or stay invigorated at the resort’s 2,500-square-foot state-of-the-art Fitness and Aerobics Center. And finish out the evening with fine dining at Kukui’s Restaurant or a casual drink at Duke’s Barefoot Bar. For more information, and to make reservations, visit ihilani.com and marriott.com/Kauai.

T

hree things a jeweler can’t do without.

Honesty. Customers. And of course, gems.

How did you get into the business?

My great-grandfather opened our first store in 1926.

So a good part of my childhood was spent there. Early fascination with gems sparked a career as a gemologist.

Why is a GIA report so important?

GIA is a world-recognized education institute. They invented the 4Cs for grading diamonds. I’m a graduate myself, so I know that with a GIA report you are getting all the facts.

All-time favorite piece of jewelry?

The engagement ring I designed for my wife. She’s in the business too, so you know it had to be perfect.

Insider’s tip?

Buy from a reputable source. You will never, ever regret it.

Most valuable lesson learned at work?

Education is power. The more you educate the customer about what they are investing in, the more confident they will be in the purchase.

What should a customer always look for?

Recognized credentials in the jeweler. And GIA certification on the diamond.

CHARITY

HORSE SENSE JILL RAPPAPORT’S NEW HANNAH’S HEART JEWELRY HELPS OUR FURRY FRIENDS.

V

ery often, accessory lines reflect a life change for their creators: The designer was a Wall Street analyst before turning her eye to creating handbags; a lawyer inspired by his trip around the world markets artisan products. With NBC Today Show’s award-winning animal advocate Jill Rappaport, her segue into collaborating on the jewelry line Hannah’s Heart, designed by London Jewelers, arose from her love of animals.

“I say I went from the red carpet to the wee-wee pad,” she laughs. The New York City/Hamptons resident covered the entertainment industry for The Today Show for sixteen years. Following her dog’s diagnosis of bone cancer, she convinced her bosses to let her cover animal rights and rescue issues, including her rescue shelter segments Bow to Wow, which have a 100% success record. Rappaport herself counts five rescue dogs and seven horses among her family. Hannah’s Heart jewelry came about following the sudden death of her mare, Hannah.

“She was the most beautiful horse you've ever seen, like a portrait,” Rappaport recalls. “I wanted to honor her memory, I wanted something to remember her by.”

Because she’d retained some of the hair from the horse’s tail, Rappaport realized it could be braided into a bracelet to be worn close to her. The jewelry line evolved from there. “When grooming horses daily, there’s a pile of hair. This is a naturally shedded product that doesn’t harm the animals in any way.” The hair is cleaned and used in tassels along with small equestrian-related charms, like horseshoes, stirrups and bits. A large format cuff bracelet rounds out the collection. The result is a jewelry line with built-in heritage. In addition, a portion of the proceeds from sales of Hannah’s Heart jewelry will be donated to the ASPCA. “You don’t have to be an equestrian to adore this line,” insists Rappaport. “If you are, it’s a bonus.”

Hannah’s Heart jewelry is available at all London Jewelers locations, and on our website at londonjewelers.com..

The CFB A1004 functional module, the peripheral rotor, the big date switching mechanism and the week display are eloquent proof that the Patravi Calendar is the perfect timepiece for aesthetes and lovers of complex technology alike.

FITNESS

WORKING IT F

or most of us, our fitness regimen might prepare us for running really, really slowly on the beach, or spinning as fast as we can, thus achieving tight buns. Neither “talent” is particularly suited for real-life bending and stretching, let alone running from zombie hordes. But CrossFit, an increasingly popular workout regimen, emphasizes an elaborate training system designed to make you the best at whatever you do, from soccer mom to soldier, athlete to monsterfighter.

“We describe it as a broad, inclusive system with a mix of movement methodologies,” says Benjamin Goodale, owner of the Motus Collaborative CrossFit gym in Sag Harbor. Combining curated elements of gymnastics, power and weight lifting, running, sprinting and martial arts with online tracking and workout tips, CrossFit fanatics train at home or in small, independent affiliate gyms called “boxes” (often a converted garage or industrial space). At each box, classes are kept small (usually between 6 and 20 people) and emphasize encouragement. Essentially you’re sharing a personal trainer on every visit to the gym. The equipment may seem relatively sparse and low-tech compared to the average chain fitness center, but each kettle bell is there to ensure your best performance ever.

Goodale himself has a personal commitment to the regimen. He says he was a fit martial arts enthusiast in college, but became dangerously overweight in his 20s, overwhelmed by work, grad school and a new family. “It got to where a spine specialist told me I should never run, exert

myself or lift heavy objects, ever again. I said, ‘I’m only 29.’” He discovered CrossFit, lost 50 pounds and recovered his health. About four years ago, he and a partner opened their own affiliate (branch) in Massachusetts, moving it to Sag Harbor in 2010, where he had family.

Founded as a website in 2000 by trainers Greg and Laura Glassman, CrossFit initially offered still-popular elements like the “Workout of the Day,” “CrossFit Journal” blog posts, and the opportunity for members to network with others. The number of (non-franchised) affiliates nationwide has grown from about 150 in 2007 to over 4,000, according to Goodale, and the high-profile national CrossFit Games are now sponsored by the likes of Reebok and F3 Nutrition Supplement. While there are only two “boxes” currently in the Hamptons (the other being CrossFit Hamptons), Goodale expects to see new and larger affiliates opening soon, providing members with even more tailored options.

“It’s a very open source concept,” Goodale says. The plan allows individual trainers to customize workouts and focus on specific styles or exercise regimens. It also means, despite the generally competitive nature of its participants both online and off, they also support each other.

“We have a very stringent ‘no jerks’ policy,” says Goodale. “So on any given day you’ll see a 20-year-old beast working right alongside a 70year-old lady, and they’re having fun, bonding in a way you might never find anywhere else.”

PERSONALITIES

KICK OFF BOOMER AND CARTON CELEBRATE FIVE YEARS ON THE RADIO.

J

ulius “Boomer” Esiason and Craig Carton host the successful morning sports talk show Boomer and Carton in the Morning on New York’s WFAN. There is a good cop (Esiason) / bad cop (Carton) relationship combining off-the-cuff comedy with controversial opinion into a winning formula. Carton’s radio career extends over 20 years; he first became successful as the “Jersey Guy,” a comic loudmouth and New Jersey fixture. Boomer got his start in the NFL, playing for the Cincinnati Bengals, Arizona Cardinals and New York Jets, before switching to radio commentary. A long-time advocate for Cystic Fibrosis fundraising and awareness, Esiason’s own son was diagnosed with the life-threatening disease in 1993, involving him even more. He is the force behind the Boomer Esiason Foundation, which sponsors races and golf tournaments to raise money to battle the disease, and more recently, to fund college scholarships.

Can you provide a brief description of the show?

Carton: We talk honestly about New York sports. We try to be relatable to the average fan, and we have as much fun talking about it as they do watching and listening to it.

Boomer: While the foundation of the show may be sports, the thing I get back from listeners is how funny the show is. Obviously, Craig is the point guard on that.

What do you think is the secret to the show’s chemistry?

Boomer: It’s big brother / little brother. The little brother’s the one trying to annoy people, and the big brother is trying to keep things cool.

Carton: It is like family. That’s pretty much the spirit of the show.

Do you feel your professional football career gives you an advantage over other commentators?

Carton: I assume you're addressing me there, so yes (laughter). There is a credibility Boomer has, because he played, but remember, he’s also been in radio for 15 years.

Boomer: I was in football for 14 years, and radio for over 15. Craig’s been in radio for 23 years, and that speaks for itself. There is the credibility, but also

88

we like showing up. The show’s relevant every single day and nothing’s scripted.

What’s changed in pro sports for you the past few years?

Carton: The only thing that’s really changed is access to the athletes through the media, Twitter and so on. The coverage is different, and they're more exposed. The world has changed, and they can get victimized a lot for it. All of a sudden, the world knows about it. I feed into it for sure—it’s good for radio.

Boomer, what drives your charitable work?

Boomer: I was born on Long Island. I wasn't born with a silver spoon in my mouth. Maybe I appreciate things more. I want to see more people have success, a kind of pay-it-forward mentality. Whether it’s the disease, my high school or my kids' schools, it’s a responsibility for someone who’s become successful to pay it forward. I think it’s the right thing to do.

You were heavily involved in raising funds and awareness for CF long before your son was born.

Boomer: I was at a dinner in 1988 where [long-time sports journalist and author] Frank Deford was speaking about losing his daughter to a disease I’d not heard of before. I asked how I could help, and he said, “if you go back to Cincinnati and organize events, that would really help.” I got very involved. Lo and behold, five years later, my son was diagnosed with the disease. Maybe it’s destiny, irony or maybe a higher power saying it should be your calling.

More recently, through “Team Boomer,” the Boomer Esiason Foundation has expanded into providing scholarships.

Boomer: The thing about that is, 25 years ago, it was never the case—kids didn't live long enough to complete college or live a full life. [The median age of people living with Cystic Fibrosis has now increased to 37.] The fact that we’ve given away $2.2 million in scholarships in the past seven years is really a testament to the research and development on prolonging the lifespans and health of these kids.

ugust may include the “dog days” of summer, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. On August 18, over 250 guests gathered for an evening of dining and dancing on the beach at the Bridgehampton Tennis and Surf Club, to show their support for the Animal Rescue Fund of the Hamptons (ARF), the leading animal adoption center on the east end of Long Island.

The evening—entitled the “Jewels of Summer” and chaired by Gail and Ira Drukler, and Lisa and Brian McCarthy—raised over $250,000 via online auctioneer Charitybuzz, and provided the opportunity for attendees to meet (and adopt) several ARF dogs and cats. The high-profile guest list included Chuck and Ellen Scarborough, Sybil and David Yurman, Barry and Donna Slotnick, Kathleen Rice (District Attorney of Nassau County) and State Assemblyman Charles Lavine, who successfully adopted Mona, a terrier mix.

Candy Udell, president of London Jewelers and founder of the Rescue Paw Foundation, was presented with the Champion of Animals award by Kathleen Rice, for her dedication and longtime advocacy for animal rescue and no-kill shelters.

ART

FLIGHTS OF FANCY NEW YORK SCULPTOR AILENE FIELDS TELLS STORIES THROUGH ART.

“A

s a kid, I wanted to be Dr. Doolittle,’’ says artist Ailene Fields, invoking the fictional English veterinarian who can talk with animals. Her studio in Manhattan’s Chelsea neighborhood reflects this passion. The space is overflowing with statues—molded in clay, cast in bronze or carved in stone—of mythological beings, stylized animals, dragons and more.

Wait, dragons? ‘‘I've always done dragons,’’ says Fields. ‘‘They somehow represent the best of what people could be to me." Before you turn your head and scoff, glance around the studio: Elegantly carved flowers, abstract architectural towers and elaborate one-of-a-kind jewelry.

A work-in-progress bronze rhinoceros, the result of a recent visit to South Africa, grazes atop the workshop table strewn with projects and tools.

Beneath a suspended wooden dragon (a gift from her grandchildren), a book of world legends lies on the table. In this context, the easygoing flying reptiles make perfect sense. They are one more piece of captured movement and joy in Fields’ portfolio.

Fields considers herself a storyteller and a purveyor of beauty. “Most artists want the same thing,” she says. “We want to show people how we view the world, but you also hope you have a view that is different.” For her, the difference is finding beauty within the unusual—bugs, jellyfish, ancient beasts. At one exhibit, her three-dimensional rendering of a cicada convinced one woman to stop killing the live ones. “She said, ‘I never really looked at them before.’ People don't look at things—we’re all too busy.

94

When you’re carving, you have to see.”

Fields discovered jewelry after about 30 years as a sculptor, the result of a temporary injury that kept her off her feet. She creates pieces using a direct wax method, re-shaping and casting the drippings in antiqued sterling silver or vermeil. She incorporates stones like lemon quartz, pearls and amber, and sometimes miniature replicas of existing faces from her statuary. “People seem to want to put jewelry in a separate category,” she muses. “It’s all art. But it is nice to have pieces you can wear.” Her one-ofa-kind cuffs, necklaces, pins and buckles are wandering fantasies of stone and metal, designed for someone who seeks a unique artist piece and who isn't afraid to carve her own path in fashion.

She admits she didn’t fully “get” jewelry before she started creating her own. “I never realized how happy it makes women. It’s a very personal, very different reaction than to a statue. It's really nice, actually.”

Fields, who is currently working on a group of sculptures exploring the Slavic witch Baba Yaga, sees no reason art can’t express joy, nor does she understand why it must always be approached so seriously (in one of the planned sculpts, Baba Yaga will devour visages of contemporary “entrepreneur” artists like Damien Hirst and Jeff Koons). Even her memorials to 9/11, like Sanctum, carved in a large block of tiger eye alabaster, are about discovering safety and comfort amid chaos. “I feel so lucky, every day, to get to do something I love,” she says, beaming. “Here I can create whatever new universe pops into my head. When it works, wow! It’s magic!”

Sunrise.

A new beginning. A new day. A new hope.

For children struggling with cancer, hope can take on many meanings – the hope for tomorrow… hope for a cure… hope of a normal day.

Sunrise Day Camp brings back the hope of childhood and all the wonder that goes along with it.

The only full-summer day camp in the country for children with cancer and their siblings, Sunrise Day Camp fills our children’s worlds with the naturalness and simplicity of making friends, swimming in a pool and chasing a butterfly. For children deprived of childhood through no fault of their own, Sunrise Day Camp stands as a powerful and loving response to the world of chemotherapy, needles, hospitals and feeling ill – similar to the beautiful transformation of a butterfly.

A project of the Friedberg JCC in Oceanside, NY, Sunrise Day Camp creates sunny days filled with fun and laughter, while still allowing our children to continue their chemotherapy regimens at their home hospitals with the doctors they trust, and to sleep each night in the safety and comfort of their own beds. Affiliated with 13 area hospitals and providing daily transportation from 4 boroughs and throughout Long Island, to our expansive campgrounds in Wheatley Heights, Sunrise Day Camp is open to any child with cancer, as well as their siblings. Providing smiles and hope since 2006, over 570 children were registered for Sunrise Day Camp in 2012, with an additional 170 attending our second camp – Sunrise Israel – which opened in the State of Israel in 2010. The only other such day camp in the entire world, Sunrise-Israel is a place where all Israeli children dealing with cancer – both Jewish and Arab – come together and experience the simple joy of being a child.

With a number of year-round programs that provide children with Sunrise fun both in and outside of our affiliated hospitals – Sunrise allows these children to be what they were meant to be at this moment in time…children.

Because of the immense financial strains facing families in which a child has a chronic, life-threatening illness, every single Sunrise program is offered free of charge.

It costs just $6,000 to provide a child with a summer camp experience they will never forget! Support for Sunrise comes from thousands of individuals like you, who want to help change the nightmare of childhood cancer into days of magic and wonder.

Change a child’s life.

Give them hope.

Give them Sunrise.

Help Support Sunrise Day Camp and its year-round programs by joining us at the:

Seventh Annual Friends of Sunrise Cocktail Party and Auction Thursday, March 14th, 2013 at the Glen Head Country Club.
