It began as a poem, inspired by an early evening walk through arching willow trees near David Yurman’s country home…
Willow’s icy reflection Dances on the pond My heart becomes light again
Soon, the sentiment found form in Willow, a new jewelry collection he created with Sybil, his wife. The graceful designs interpret David Yurman’s iconic cable motif in a slender, feminine way and effortlessly layer with his existing collections.

DAVID YURMAN
The Willow Collection Like fronds dancing on a light breeze, there is a kinetic energy in Willow. Each strand of cable is carefully placed to create a natural effect, with pavé diamonds shimmering like evening light on velvety, soft buds. “There’s a bit of organic harmony,” says David. “Like everything in nature, it’s perfectly asymmetric.”
Willow also takes a cue from the classics. As with all David Yurman collections, ancient art and symbolism shape each design. In mythology, the willow is the tree of enchantment. Now, in precious metal and sparkling diamonds, you can also be captivated by the Willow Collection’s enduring magic. The range of styles includes bracelets, rings, necklaces and earrings in sterling silver and 18 karat gold with pavé diamonds.
David Yurman was founded in New York in 1980 and quickly became known as America’s leading fine jewelry and luxury timepiece designer for men, women and children. The signature gold and silver designs; diamond, pearl and gemstone jewelry; and Swiss-crafted timepieces are renowned for capturing the essence of relaxed American luxury. 5

Roberto Coin’s Newest Collection: Pois Mois “After the huge success of the Appassionata Collection, I was looking for something with an innovative design and able to become an evergreen for its style as Appassionata did. The new Pois Moi collection has an ultra-modern design with a touch of vintage taste, able to perfectly fit a woman of any age. Its pattern comes from mixing different inspirations; the texture and feel connected to the World of Golf, and the recent shiny return of gold. These two moods together had never been introduced in the world of jewelry before. The soft square shape finds its inspiration in the Italian vintage trend called television shape, recalling the old monitors of the 50s. Even if the design appears extremely linear and simple, the manufacturing technique necessary for its realization is very complicated and requires the highest precision. Innovation and elegance are the two main ingredients in Roberto Coin’s newest collection...a collection which is quickly becoming recognized as iconic.”
Roberto Coin set to visit Forsythe Jewelers on October 23 The event is one of the very few public appearances Roberto will make in 2014. While on Hilton Head, Roberto will spend time with customers to share his passion for design and the creative process. He brings with him a very special collection of jewelry that travels exclusively with him throughout the world.

one at a time, one of a kind, each one by hand. John Hardy is a luxury brand of handmade jewelry founded by Canadian designer and artist John Hardy in 1975. When John visited Bali in the mid-1970s the island’s jewelry-making traditions intrigued him. His first partners, the descendants of the goldsmiths to the royal courts of Bali, were the basis of today’s partnership between Western designers and local artisans. Together, they meld time-honored jewelry-making techniques with fresh design to create John Hardy collections. As part of their commitment to Bali and the environment at large, John Hardy plants bamboo. The long-lived, rapidly growing woody perennial grass is capturing the attention of environmentalists and sustainability advocates around the globe. The concept of “Greener Every Day” is a central aspiration for John Hardy. This deep commitment to the environment that permeates the way the company does business at every level. John Hardy is reshaping the world of luxury by creating each piece of jewelry one at a time, one of a kind, each one by hand.

The distinct uniqueness of my timeless jewels can be described through artisanal craftsmanship and organic, imperfect shapes... always made in 18 karat gold.�

Debbie Berling, Forsythe’s Graduate Gemologist, has tips regarding jewelry you no longer enjoy. In my jewelry box, I had several items gathering dust. There was a truly ugly 10K gold ring with drab green jade given to me by my high school boyfriend. There was also a truly beautiful 18K gold hat pin with a fox head on it, a gift from my grandfather. It’s pretty, but I don’t wear hats. Then there were several pairs of button earrings I “outgrew.” I prefer dangle earrings now, and a bolder look. As you might have guessed, each one of these unworn, unwanted pieces of jewelry met a different fate. The ugly 10K gold ring was scrapped because, well, it was ugly! The beautiful 18K gold hat pin was repurposed into a charm. The button earrings were given to my nieces with hopes they will think of me when they wear them. As you sort through your unworn jewelry item by item, here are some options to consider: • If the jewelry has great sentimental value, hold on to it. No precious metal or gems are as valuable as your memories of loved ones. Even if the item is not in fashion now, go ahead and wear it anyway, keeping memories of your loved ones close to you. • Give it away to someone you love. There is simply no better use for unwanted jewelry. Why wait until the end of your life to give away items you no longer wear, when you could see the enjoyment they bring to those you love right now? • Repurpose your jewelry so you can enjoy it once more. Turn your “old sentimentals” into new sensational jewelry. Forsythe’s designers will offer suggestions for how to update an item or rework it into a one-of-akind creation. You will receive a complimentary CAD rendering of your custom design beforehand and an estimate to approve. • Trade it in for exciting new jewelry. Yes, Forsythe will accept your unwanted jewelry as payment when you make a purchase. In general, you will receive a higher return for trading in your jewelry than you will if you sell it for cash. Be sure to ask if you might receive an even higher trade in value if the item is sold on consignment. • Scrap it. This is the best option for jewelry that is broken or woefully out of style. Gold prices are still double what they were in 2008, so you will get a good return on any jewelry you purchased before then. Remember, Forsythe will pay you for platinum, gold (even 10K) and sterling silver. We will weigh it and pay you for it on the spot. Don’t let unwanted jewelry take up space in your jewelry box. Discern the best way to dispose of it or trade it for new fashion. Remember, unlike other luxuries that lose value relatively quickly, fine jewelry almost always returns some value, even as it ages. Whether that value is monetary or sentimental, one thing is sure: it is an enduring investment in beauty and love. 15

FORSYTHE JEWELERS TRAVELS TO
South Africa By Debbie Berling I have the best job in the world! It is such a joy to help our Forsythe “family” celebrate the important moments in their lives. Imagine now the added fun of traveling the world to keep up with international trends in style and design and to bring the finest jewelry and gems back to Hilton Head Island. Our diamonds, for example, are guaranteed conflictfree. We can make this promise because I have traveled to South Africa and Botswana to see the mines and the cutting factories with my own eyes. I have witnessed best safety practices for the miners, job creation and the improvements diamonds are making in the lives of the southern African people. Did you know that your purchase of a diamond from southern Africa will help build schools, hospitals and game preserves? It’s a privilege to be part of this uplifting story. In addition to wanting diamonds that are ethically sourced, Forsythe’s discerning clients also demand beauty and value. Beauty is determined foremost by the diamond’s cut and polish. It is always a pleasure to discover cutters who have the expertise to unlock a diamond’s inner fire. Visits to Botswana, Johannesburg, Antwerp, Ramat Gan in Israel and New York allow

Emerging from his belief that jewelry is one of the most personal, significant forms of art, Steven Lagos set out on his own and started LAGOS in 1977. As a designer, his vision of the LAGOS woman, her timeless elegance, her integrity and her sensuality, influence many of the collections. Sights and sounds forever inspire Steven, most of which are captured from his frequent travels to Asia and Europe. His vision goes beyond product development and permeates the entire organization of LAGOS, making the customer at the core of the company culture. The Art of Caviar—an Unmistakable LAGOS Signature Luminous caviar-like beading brings lush texture to sterling silver and 18K gold, transforming these precious metals into crafted jewelry that softly caresses the skin. The artistry of Caviar is best captured through its creative process. It takes hundreds of steps to complete the many facets of a single Caviar creation. This process always starts with a hand-drawn sketch by Steven Lagos and finishes when the sterling silver is oxidized to create the sculptural qualities that make Caviar unique.
“The artistry of Caviar is best captured through its creative process.” 21

A life worth living. Gurhan is internationally renowned for pioneering the revival of pure 24K gold jewelry and for changing the landscape of jewelry design with his award-winning creations. But Gurhan is much more than that… and so is the brand that he has created. He is a largerthan-life personality whose eclectic tastes have forged a brand which is known for its diverse and rich expressions of a life worth living. Gurhan’s initial creations in pure gold quickly drew attention from discerning collectors in Istanbul and travelers to Turkey. An early admirer was an Australian woman living in New York and on vacation in Turkey. She fell in love with his jewelry first, and then she fell in love with him. From the first moment it was evident that Fiona was Gurhan’s soul mate. Together they built a life of adventure and variety which continues to fuel Gurhan’s inspiration for his designs. Fiona Tilley, now his wife, is today president and CEO of their company. Together they have created a wonderfully successful brand which is the center of their life together—a life worth living.

Forsythe Jewelers travels to jewelry shows throughout the world to bring the latest trends back to you.

Here’s the lowdown on the latest greatest jewelry must-haves for right now: • One really rockin’ ring. All it takes is one look-at-me ring to make a style statement, C’mon. Don’t be afraid to go big. Flaunt it on your middle finger. • A cool cuff. It can add instant elegance to a sporty or casual outfit. It’s also very sexy. • Throw an arm party. Stack bangles or rigid bracelets up your wrist. The more the merrier. It’s OK to mix metals (silver, blackened silver, gold). It’s OK to mix designers. It’s a party! • Eclectic earrings. You’ll need some demure “button” earrings to wear with your bold necklaces. After all, you don’t want to steal the thunder from your fab collar. But when your neck is bare, you want your earrings to carry the day. Go with big hoops or bold dangles. Even chandeliers. • Long layers. You can still wear your minimal pendant on a delicate 18” chain, but hang several longer necklaces around it. Stack them close together like a bib, or let them cascade down your front at different lengths. Have you ever tried wearing one of those long necklaces as a belt, or even wrapped around your wrist as a bracelet? • Gold! It’s back at last! Tired of wearing nothing but sterling silver? Kick it up a notch! Add a touch of warm, lustrous gold. The price of gold has come down significantly from where it was a couple years ago. Remember, you can trade in or recycle your outdated gold fashion jewelry for the newest styles. We are able to share these styling tips with you because the Forsythe team visits New York and Las Vegas every year to see what’s new and to bring the best of it back to Hilton Head. We’ve also had the good fortune to travel to Italy every couple years to stay one step ahead of international trends. Finally, we continually attend training and educational classes to sharpen our gemological and management skills. You can be assured that whatever you buy from Forsythe —no matter how big or how small—will be in good taste and fashion forward. We want our “Forsythe family” to be stylin’!

Shine n! Jewelry Cleaning 101 By Debbie Berling
A woman once asked me why her diamond had lost its brilliance. One look and I knew instantly. It had a layer of “gunk” stuck underneath it. Upon closer inspection, I discovered an apple seed stuck in the undercarriage of the setting. Even more amazing… the apple seed was beginning to sprout! I asked if she liked to bake and she said yes, especially apple pies. By cleaning your jewelry often, you will sparkle like a rock star and protect it from harmful wear. It only takes a couple sprays of a grease-cutting cleanser, a once-over with an electric toothbrush and a quick rinse. To clean gold and platinum, my favorite grease cutting cleansers are Mr. Clean, Formula 409 or Fantastik. Ammonia is effective too, but it’s so stinky! And please, no toothpaste. It’s simply too abrasive for most precious metals. When traveling, make due with a squirt of shampoo or liquid soap. Chlorine (a.k.a. bleach) is the enemy of precious metals and can actually dissolve your jewelry. That means it’s prudent to remove jewelry before splashing in hot tubs, super-chlorinated swimming pools and Jacuzzis. Salt is the enemy of sterling silver. Leave your silver jewelry home before going to the beach. Even perspiration can dull or discolor sterling. You’ll keep it looking like new if you rub it with a soft cloth before and after wearing it, and treat it with respect. Whether you’re home or on vacation, the best and easiest way to maintain your jewelry is to take it to a professional jeweler. We pros have specialized equipment to remove scratches from precious metals, dissolve dirt and remove oxidation. We finish the cleaning with a blast of cleansing steam and, finally, an inspection to make sure all your gems are secure in their settings. Think of it as a spa day for your jewelry! Whether you do it yourself or go to a pro, remember to protect your jewelry investment with regular cleanings. Now, go forth and sparkle!

THE ART OF
Whether for graduation, an anniversary, the birth of a child or even “just because,” the right gift will convey your love and gratitude to the recipient. Finding the perfect gift, however, is a task requiring thought, care and sometimes a little help. The Forsythe team is trained in the art of gift giving, no matter the occasion or recipient. Heather Moore Jewelry is one of the team’s favorites since each piece is hand-stamped and customizable to suit each taste and preference. Children’s birthdates, anniversaries, vacation landmarks, even an imprint of a handwritten message from a child can be stamped on a Heather Moore charm.

GIFT GIVING
Giving a gift to remember your Hilton Head vacation—even if it’s for yourself—is easy at Forsythe. The Ocean Wave pendant is a popular favorite and available in different sizes and price ranges. Also popular are the Hilton Head specific and beach charms that can be mixed, matched and added to each year. Maybe this year you start with a charm stamped with Hilton Head’s longitude and latitude, and next year add a sea turtle and a lighthouse!

Gift giving is made simple if the recipient is a collector. Forsythe is proud to offer one of the largest
selections of MacKenzie-Childs collectibles on the east coast. Founded on a farm in Aurora, New York, MacKenzie-Childs offers heirloom quality, hand painted homeware and accessories. The company’s wildly popular Courtly Check and Parchment Check are the perfect starter collections
since the exuberant checked patterns fit beautifully into every decor. From tea pots to stemware, serving platters to picture frames, and now at last jewelry, it’s easy to find that perfect enduring gift for the people who are special in your life. WARNING: Collecting MacKenzie-Childs can be addicting!

Document milestones in your life with Heather Moore’s jewelry collection featuring personalized, hand stamped charms in precious metals. Heather Moore turns everyday jewelry into treasured heirlooms that are worn and collected for a lifetime. All of the pieces are created in Cleveland, Ohio, with recycled sterling silver and a rainbow of 14K and 18K golds. Everyone has something special in his or her life to acknowledge or celebrate. As Heather says, “Over time, you will have an amazing collection of pieces that capture moments in time and truly reflect who you are.”

Handmade in Aurora Time-honored crafts thrive in the 21st century on a small farm in rural central New York. From plates to planters, teapots to tureens, MacKenzie-Childs designs are alive with individuality. Since 1983, MacKenzie-Childs has made handcrafted ceramics, each piece a one-of-a-kind collectible. The company also designs and hand-decorates furniture and other home furnishings. Each piece is created by skilled artisans and holds the surprise and joy of the unexpected. Turn over a ceramic mug or platter or chair and you will see the stamps or marks of the artisans who contributed to its creation, to each step in the process. That individuality, the evidence of the artisan’s hand, is what makes each piece a one-of-a kind work of beauty and grace. Stains and glazes are painted on by hand, not by machine. You may notice variations in the density and depth of the color. This evidence of the artisan’s hand is highly valued by collectors: No two pieces are identical. Set a table with MacKenzie-Childs plates and their variations are sure to please and delight your guests. In the 21st century, where standardization and uniformity are hard to escape, the unique personality and individuality of MacKenzie-Childs’ creations is heart-warming.
