The new Rolex Yacht-Master 116655 (shown at right) sports the OysterFlex bracelet. This technical bracelet combines in a singular way the robustness and reliability of a metal bracelet with the flexibility, comfort and aesthetics of an elastomer strap. One of the most interesting elements on the strap are the "fins" underneath that are designed to create a cushion between the strap and your wrist. This allows for your wrist to expand and contract a bit while the strap remains comfortable and snug,

GEMS Diamond couture is still going strong.

In fact it never went away.

“

You don’t have to wait for a night on the town

to add a little sparkle to your go-to wardrobe pieces. Diamonds can take your basics up a notch,” says Genevieve Yraola, a fashion contributor and stylist for numerous magazines including People Style Watch. Here are some essential pieces shown here which you can wear to any occasion and feel just right.

Style Staples Jewelry you can wear every day from ABC Jewelers Whether you want to punch up a little black dress or elevate a turtleneck or tee, there are certain go-to pieces that are as easy and effortless to slip on as a pair of jeans. “And with more people working from home and Zoom meetings on the rise, accessorizing is more important than ever,” says our store manager who picked these everyday-wearable trends from our collection.

Stackable bracelet Crisp, clean and timeless, these are the season’s must have accessories. In 18K gold with diamonds, a great way to complement any look.

A lariat necklace A 18K gold and diamond Aria necklace is a classic — and it’s chic and sparkling with a modern edge.

Statement-making rings 18K gold rings, also in pumped-up sizes, have an air of effortless cool. It's the fastest way to elevate any outfit — no matter how casual. It's also fun to wear a few together.

Heirloom diamond lariat necklace

“

One of my favorite style staples is

the Lariat Necklace. Not only is the long, slender shape neck-flattering and sexy, you'll find it very versatile.

These necklaces won't look out of place during the day and are equally appropriate if you're going to a more formal event."

“

I love the way the cocktail ring has

transitioned to something you can wear every day. While it should be big and catch the eye, it should also feel like an extension of your hand and not a clunky piece weighing you down. It's also fun to wea

VINTAGE DESIGNS & CLUSTERS are on the rise for brides wanting to break tradition.

BAND TOGETHER State-of-the-heart wedding rings Who says your wedding band has to match your engagement ring? Or that couples must wear similar bands? Or that you even have to limit yourself to one band? Today there are so many ways to express your undying love that the simple gold band has come a long way. While it all starts with the engagement ring, a perfect union isn't required when pairing it with a wedding band, says Amanda Gizzi, a trend watcher for Jewelers of America. You can think outside the box and try different styles. The key is harmony. The rings should complement one another.

The same advice holds for the guys. Whether looking for something simple and understated or something with a little more character, choose what feels like you.

“The band represents who you are as an individual and also who you are as a couple," Gizzi says. "They don't have to be the same. Something as simple as engraving the insides can tie them together."

Here are just some of the possibilities you'll find in our collection.
