GUIDE

“Rolex makes the most durable and reliable watches on the planet. It’s no wonder that Chuck Yeager wore a Rolex when he broke the sound barrier in the 1940s. Or that Sir Edmund Hillary wore one while crossing Antarctica in the 1950s. Or that James Cameron wore a Rolex Deepsea on his recent, record-breaking dive to the bottom of the Mariana Trench. Rolex watches have been to the bottom of the ocean and to the top of Everest. Despite all their accomplishments, Rolex is never satisfied. Their lab does everything to improve these watches to make each year better than the last.”

Multi-color Sapphire Bracelet

“One-of-a-kind estate jewelry so often combines great artistry, natural and rare gemstones, and sometimes an interesting history too. This bracelet is the perfect example. Set with 242 carats of natural fancy colored sapphires, it was created by a Belgian prince who designed and manufactured jewelry in Switzerland and Austria. Originally purchased in Europe and discovered in an estate sale in the U.S. decades later, it is an absolutely fabulous rainbow of natural sapphires in every color imaginable — with a colorful provenance to match.” - Inez Fogel Heery - Terry Betteridge

Diamond Eternity Rings

“The eternity band is a continuous row of identically cut gemstones that symbolize never ending love, perfect for that special day and all the celebrations along the way. It can be the perfect wedding or anniversary ring. Or have some fun and stack a few on your right hand and create your own versatile custom look. Choose different shape diamonds or add a splash of color; many are available with sapphires, rubies or emeralds. For a very special — and simply stunning — right-hand ring for any occasion I recommend an eternity band with larger diamonds, which takes on a much different look. You can really see so many wonderful details — the outline of each diamond matching perfectly down the line, the color of each stone seamlessly flowing into the next, individual facets large enough to see performing their magical light show. Beyond round, there are many diamond shapes including oval-, radiant-, asscher- and emerald-cuts, each with a different personality. Diamond sizes in our rings range from .50 ct to 2.0 carats and all are wonderful quality stones. We also offer a special few rings with all D-color (the highest diamond grade) stones. These rings are simple elegance at its finest! No matter what size stones you choose, eternity rings are exceptionally romantic, fashionable and wearable... always the perfect way to show your love.”

Betteridge Astra Collection

“My gift idea from Betteridge is our very own diamond cluster earrings from the Astra collection which I wear proudly everyday. So stunning and unique, it’s a beautiful classic piece! Available in five sizes, the collection also includes a pendant and a station necklace.”

A Lange & Sohnne Lange 1 Time Zone

“The Lange 1 Time Zone is the perfect timepiece for modern globetrotters who work and communicate with partners around the world. With a simple touch of a button, the city ring surrounding the dial jumps from west to east by one time zone advancing the time from London to Hong Kong... and back home again. A collector's favorite for over fifteen years, the Lange Time Zone was just re-introduced with a newly developed movement and dial." - Win Betteridge

“Sometimes you have a connection with a piece of jewelry that is beyond just the aesthetic. This particular piece does that for me. Those of you who know me may recall my early days in the business was as a diamond buyer for Tiffany & Co. This piece was crafted by Tiffany circa 1890. The diamonds are all old-mine-style cut (over 4 cts), stones. It is a fleur-de-lis-style, and I am of French descent. The piece is also versatile. It was made with a removable bail to wear as a pendant or a removable pin frame to wear as a brooch. The final connection is the provenance. This was owned by an old Greenwich family, and the first friend I ever made here in town was their daughter! I remember many hours chatting at their beautiful waterfront home. All in all, this does it for me.” - Randy Lapointe

“What What I love about DAVIDOR is the ability to wear their L’Arc de DAVIDOR collection from day to night, dressed up or dressed down. The pieces are exceptionally crafted in 18K gold with lacquered ceramic and diamonds, mixing fine jewelry design with playful colors. I never take off my L’Arc de DAVIDOR bead pendant in 18K white gold with hortesia-colored lacquered ceramic and 'Palais' diamonds.” - Denise Calvin

Silvia Furmanovich Butterfly Clutch

“To me this Butterfly clutch by Silvia Furmanovich is the best of all worlds: the embodiment of personal adornment, personal use and beautiful art all in one amazing piece. I’d never put it away, but set it out for all to see and admire as the “Objet d’Art” it is! For that matter, that is what I would do with any of her handbags. They’re all exquisite hand-size sculptures.” - Vanessa Henry

Panerai Submersible Carbotech™ – 47mm

“Nothing brings out the inner Navy SEAL like the proper timepiece. Engineered for just such an occupation, Panerai infuses their Italian military DNA into each Submersible timepiece. Highly legible (even in the dark), water-resistant and tough as nails, Panerai will bring you that much closer to a successful mission, even if it’s only a grocery run.” - Rob Shay

Patek Philippe Twenty-4

“A fine watch is an extension of your personality, and Patek's new Twenty-4 is intended for strong, active women. As comfortable and reliable as watches come, it blends femininity and elegance — the perfect companion to take you from the office to formal events. Patek's steel Twenty-4 manchette quartz watch comes in two variations: always stylish slate gray and my personal favorite, blue sunburst." - Natalie Betteridge

Round Brilliant Diamond Studs

“I have friends and customers who wear our diamond stud earrings like a uniform, seven days a week. Whether you’re gifting a loved one with that first special pair or ‘trading-up’ to a larger size, there’s no better way to make someone feel special than with diamonds. Since all pairs are selected by our diamond experts and then handcrafted in platinum, you are assured of the ultimate in beauty and value. If she does not have a great pair of diamond studs, it’s an easy home run.” - Warren Lagerloef

Norman Silverman Marquise & Pear Diamond Ring

“Despite my love of all things colorful and quirky, this diamond band won me over immediately. Three rows of marquise and pear-shaped diamonds are set almost invisibly together along the visible portion of the band, giving the ring a massive amount of sparkle and a very punchy presence. Crafted with a very low profile, making it both comfortable and wearable, this ring is truly a winner. If the thought of a classic eternity band bores you to tears, or you just like your diamonds with a little more flair than the average woman, this ring should be at the top of your wish list.” - Brooke Betteridge
