New! Latitude adjustment A great oceanographer once declared his love to be “as deep and vast as the ocean blue”—and it’s little wonder why. Long before they were mapped and charted by maritime explorers, the mysteries of the ocean captivated poets and artists alike. The size of the ocean symbolizing the depth of our emotion, its color representing the eternal and boundless nature of love.

It’s a beautiful paradox that the deep blue B. of our Latitude Lapis Necklace comes not from the ocean, but from the ground on which we stand. Lapis lazuli, first mined in Persia in the third-century, B.C., is synonymous worldwide with the ultimate, undying shade of blue. In powdered form, it was used by Cleopatra as a vibrant eye-shadow; as a stone, it can be found in the Taj Mahal. As a necklace, lapis luzuli is an unsurpassed symbol of a deep and abiding love.

Our 18" necklace erupts in 100 carats of immutable blue, complimented by the sparkle of natural gold flecks and decorative spacers layered in 14K gold. Paired with matching earrings, the effect is nothing less than extraordinary. The Latitude Collection represents your earthly love and the ocean’s tranquility—with no life-preserver necessary.

New! Get your royal beauty sleep

T

here’s no more opulent room in any palace than the master bedchamber. You can’t very well be a king or queen and just rest your head on any old cotton pillow. You need fabrics like silk and velvet. You need colors like deep, warm burgundy and decadent purples.

And everything should be resplendent with woven golden details. But if you don’t have a personal fabric specialist to dote on your every need to ensure your slumber is as sumptuous as possible, then I suggest you slip into our Chambord Garnet & Amethyst Ring.

This ring is named for the Château de Chambord, the dwelling of King Francois I, and one of the most lavish examples of French Renaissance architecture ever constructed. In that Château is the bedchamber of all bedchambers, fashioned specifically for the king. We

crafted this ring for you, with the kind of attention to detail usually reserved for royalty. You’ll love showing off its alternating rows of shimmering, faceted garnet and amethyst rounds. The whole piece totals 5 1/3 carats of the glimmering gems, and between the shine of the stones you’ll find stunning sterling silver rope-work that’s been layered in 14K yellow gold. It’s an opulent accessory guaranteed to make every evening a night to remember. Sweet dreams.

Start a chain reaction

A.

This is no ordinary necklace. Wearing it immediately boosts your IQ by 45 points. It allows you to run faster, jump higher and do more one-handB. ed push-ups than ever before. In case of an emergency, it can be used to tow cars, fish for sharks or rappel down sheer canyon walls. Did I mention the subtle, subliminal effect it has on the ladies? It’s uncanny.

Of course, none of that is true. The men’s Catalyst Link Necklace won’t give you super powers, it only feels that way. But wearing a necklace this good-looking does things that not even science can explain. When you look better, you feel better. And confidence is contagious. It sets off a chain reaction (pun intended) that has the potential to change your life. You can go ahead and dismiss me as an incurable optimist. But do me a favor and wear the necklace first.

Our Catalyst Link Necklace is constructed of the finest stainless steel, including links that have been plated in glistening 14K gold.

And we doubled each link on the 24” necklace to add strength and just enough weight to remind you that you’re wearing it. We realize that this sort of bold accessory isn’t for every man. But that’s what makes it such a good idea. So go ahead...join the chain gang.

Genuine diamonds and sapphires!

Take the ring, leave the cannoli I know a guy who knows a guy. He keeps office hours in a leather booth by the back door in this local bistro just past Grand Street.

My friend tells me, you need anything, go see this guy. He’s connected. He can make things happen. He likes desserts.

I show up around supper with a wish list and a box of biscotti. I tell this guy I want to put together a real man’s ring. The kind of ring you see on a guy who doesn’t park his own car, buy off the rack or order off the menu. It should be sophisticated, with a dash of sparkle. Add some genuine stones and keep the shank thick and solid. “Got it,” he says. He flips open the box and inhales the warm, almond aroma. “Come see me in a week.”

When I see him again, he’s working on a meatball the size of my fist. He points to a box with his fork and keeps chewing. The ring inside is a work of art, exactly as I had pictured it but somehow even better than I imagined. Its broad .925 sterling-silver band meets at a spectacular grid of natural sapphires and full-cut white diamonds (over ¾ carats total). The geometric design sparkles with hundreds of light-catching facets set within gleaming frames layered in 18K gold. Even under the dim lights of the restaurant, it commands respect. I tell him I’m impressed. He asks what’s in my bag. I tell him I brought some cannoli.

“You know what to do next,” he said.

How to beat the high cost of sunken treasure You are alone at the bottom of the ocean. The only sound comes from your beating heart and the hiss of your air regulator. A flash of green catches your eye. You slip a gloved hand into the ocean floor and raise it slowly.

The sand pours through your fingers, revealing a glittering green stone. And another. And another...

E.

F.

I have good news and bad news. The bad news is that you didn’t really find any gemstones at the bottom of the ocean, but that’s also the good news. Most of the time, stumbling on sunken treasure turns out to be more trouble than its worth. Lucky for you, this spectacular 200-carat Cayman Emerald Necklace is all treasure with none of the trouble.

D.

By coming to us for precious gems, you spare yourself the dangers of the deep. No sharks. Not a pirate in sight (though I’ve met plenty of fortune-hunters who’d rather face seagoing thugs than duel with lawyers in open court). Maybe you heard about the amateur diver who discovered thousands of raw emeralds just off the Florida coast. His find is potentially worth millions, but until the courts see fit to award him ownership, he can’t sell a single carat.

Between the high cost of recovery and skyrocketing legal fees, the man’s emerald jackpot is costing him a fortune. You, on the other hand, get something to brag about right away. Our Cayman Emerald Necklace–a garland of polished precious emeralds–is yours for only $79! The 18" necklace secures with a 14K gold-plated clasp and boasts an impressive 200 carats of genuine emerald. Complete the set with a matching 55-carat Cayman Emerald Bracelet and 10-carat Earrings. This collection is the perfect way to claim your own sunken treasure while keeping your head (and wallet) above water!

New Style! For your wrist only

very month like clockwork the cutting-edge tech companies interrupt us to brag about the next big thing. Problem is, that big thing is always a bit smaller, a tad faster and only a few pixels clearer. Do they really expect us to get excited about slight variations on the same old thing? Well, if you’ve gotten used to being underwhelmed, it’s time to be impressed again. The Stauer Ivory Volante is a triumph of watchmaking function and design. And we’re going to make a big deal about it, because it actually is a big deal.

The Stauer Volante is a watch that stands alone. Its broad rectangular case instantly catches the eye. Inspired by the dashboards of the greatest concept cars that never hit the road? Possibly. A fantastic blend of Jules Verne and James Bond? Maybe. But one thing is certain, wearing this watch, crafted of tough stainless steel and elegantly fused in 14K gold, speaks volumes about the man who dares to wear it.

Built for comfort. The slight curve in the steel helps it sit comfortably on the wrist, allowing it to appear far more sleek and sophisticated than any watch its size deserves to look. The unique construction of the Volante eliminated the need for a caseback.

Watchmakers built the complex, dual-quartz movement directly inside the case. It was a painstaking, time-consuming process that

How to claim your dragon

literally left no room for error.

A dense mist hangs over the moors. Your sword is heavy at your side. Suddenly, up ahead, you hear what sounds like a low growl. You grab the hilt of your weapon and move toward the sound. Capturing a dragon seemed a lot less frightening when it was being discussed in the halls of the castle. But now the sense of an approaching monster is all too real. You take another step and draw your sword...

Dragon hunting in the Middle Ages was an intense endeavor that included cold sharp steel and hikes into dark forests. But today, we’ve made it easier than ever to land an impressive dragon trophy. And the metal involved is a lot more impressive.

Our Draco Men’s Ring is crafted from tungsten, one of the most amazing materials on earth. It’s 71% denser than lead, four times harder than titanium, and used in rocket nozzles and armor-piercing bullets. Tungsten seemed the perfect metal to use to catch an immense imaginary creature (if you consider them imaginary). A striking Celtic-influenced pattern full of dynamic swirling detail runs along the full length of the band. Inside, the classic dragon’s head design almost seems to burn with fire. But have no fear. You can claim your trophy. The hunt is over.

Outside, the dynamic dual-time dials are impossible to ignore.

Gold hands and spinning discs give it the cachet of a customcrafted spy gadget. The Volante looks civilized but a little bit dangerous. Think of it as the wristwatch equivalent of a tuxedo-clad secret agent with impeccable charm and lightning reflexes.

This is the kind of watch you want on your side. Immediately.

You won’t find the Stauer Volante in stores. It can only be found here. Of course, you’re welcome to track down similar designs offered by high-end, boutique watchmakers. But the last time we checked, the cost for admission to their exclusive club was more than $52,000 (at that price, it had better come equipped with lasers, GPS and a matching British sports car).

Those who are ready for something debonair, something daring and something truly, different can wear the Stauer Volante for less than $200. Hard to believe, but absolutely true. The Volante secures with a rugged, black silicone strap and gold-fused buckle.

It’s water-resistant to 3 ATMs. Martinis not included. Fit’s wrists 7 ½"-9 ½".

New! How to please Her Majesty Celebrate the royal beauty in your life with the historic, 138 2/5 ctw Queen of Holland Pendant The President of France B. wasn’t expecting company.

At the 1925 Paris Exposition, he received an invitation to meet the Queen of Holland. He was flattered.

But when he arrived, there was no Queen Wilhimena.

In Her Majesty’s stead was A. an enormous, near flawless white diamond…that its owners dubbed “The Queen of Holland.” The President was pleasantly surprised. Looking at this pendant, you can imagine how he felt. It’s hard to feel anything but awe when faced with a sparkle this spectacular. This is clearly no ordinary piece of jewelry.

Our massive, 138 2/5 ctw Queen of Holland DiamondAura® Pendant pays tribute to the legendary diamond of the same name. In 1930, it attracted the eye of a Maharajah who acquired it as the stunning centerpiece of his ceremonial necklace. It held a place of honor in his family for decades, until it went on the market in 1960. Not too long ago it was purchased for more than $7,000,000.

Today is your chance to find out what it feels like to wear a 138-carat legend for under $200!

Experience the return of a 136-carat legend!

Named after Her Majesty Queen Wilhelmina, the beloved ruler of the Netherlands from 1890 to 1948, the gigantic gem first arrived in Amsterdam at the turn of the 20th century. The original ranks among the top ten largest “D” color diamonds in the world. Experts regard it as “chemically pure and structurally perfect.” But rather than wait around for another natural miracle, we set to work chasing perfection in the laboratory. The result is our exclusive, lab-created DiamondAura. Created by heating rare minerals to incredibly high temperatures, DiamondAura allows you to experience the beauty of a “D flawless” natural diamond for a fraction of the price.

Our Queen of Holland Pendant showcases a massive 136-carat centerpiece (the original weight of the stone before it was re-cut in the 1960s), set in 14K gold-layered sterling silver and surrounded by a halo of lab-created DiamondAura rounds. Add the 18" gold-clad woven chain for that final regal touch. Her majesty will be pleased.

r. Bigshot rolled up in a roaring high-performance Italian sports car, dropping attitude like his $22,000 watch made it okay for him to be rude. That’s when I decided to roll up my sleeves and teach him a lesson.

“Nice watch,” I said, pointing to his and holding up mine. He nodded like we belonged to the same club. We did, but he literally paid 100 times more for his membership.

Bigshot bragged about his five-figure purchase, a luxury heavyweight from the titan of high-priced timepieces. I told him that mine was the Stauer Corso, a 27-jewel automatic classic now available for only $179. And just like that, the man was at a loss for words.

Think of Stauer as the “Robin Hood of Watchmakers.” We believe everyone deserves a watch of uncompromising precision, impressive performance and the most elegant styling. You deserve a watch that can hold its own against the luxury classics for a fraction of the price. You’ll feel the quality as soon as you put it on your wrist. This is an expertly-crafted time machine...not a cry for attention.

Wear a mechanical masterpiece for only $179!

We surveyed our customers. As intelligent, high net worth individuals, they have outgrown the need to show off. They have nothing to prove; they already proved it. They want superb quality and astonishing value. And that’s exactly what we deliver.

The Stauer Corso is proof that the worth of a watch doesn’t depend on the size of its price tag. Our factory spent over $40 million on Swiss-made machinery to insure the highest quality parts. Each timepiece takes six months and over 200 individual precision parts to create the complex assembly. Peer through the exhibition back to see the 27-jeweled automatic movement in action and you’ll understand why we can only offer the Corso in a limited edition.

Our specialty is vintage automatic movements. The Corso is driven by a self-winding design, inspired by a 1923 patent. Your watch will never need batteries. Every second of power is generated by the movement of your body. The black dial features a trio of date complications including a graphic day/night display.

The Corso secures with a two-toned stainless steel bracelet and is water-resistant to 3 ATMs.

New! Give her the best ears of her life

A.

A stunning 36 carats of genuine ruby and blue topaz!

She’s heard sweet nothings before. And she likes them. Don’t get me wrong. You should continue to lean in close every once in a while just to tell her how beautiful she looks, to say how lucky you are to have her in your life, and to be sure she knows how much you still love her even after all these years. But in addition, every once in a while, instead of sweet nothings you should give her sweet somethings. And these genuine Castile Ruby & Blue Topaz Earrings definitely qualify as sweet.

Bound to be like nothing she’s ever seen before, this stunning pair combines genuine, crisp blue topaz, deep smoldering natural red rubies, and a touch of golden glint in a stunning display of the jeweler’s art. Inspired by the opulent court jewelry of the Middle Ages, the simple design draws your eye to the natural beauty within each gemstone. The 1 ⅔" Castile Earrings are crafted of the finest .925 sterling silver layered in glistening 18K gold, they hang from graceful French hooks and display an impressive 36 carats of genuine blue topaz and enhanced natural ruby. The tantalizing topaz rounds and radiant ruby drops are the perfect balance of hot and cool. So the next time you go to whisper in her ear, make sure what you’re ready to say is, “I’ve got something for you.”

Endangered gem disappearing Tanzanite is found in only one remote spot on Earth, and it’s 1,000 times rarer than diamonds. Experts say the mines will soon run dry forever, but today you can own more than 1 carat for less than $80!

New! This watch only looks 100 years old

T

ime is running out. Geological experts predict the world’s supply of tantalizing tanzanite will disappear in a matter of just a few years. Maybe sooner. High-end retailers are raising prices on this rare stone. And gem dealers are in a mad scramble to secure their claim before it’s too late. Let them scramble.

There are only a handful of truly pivotal events in the history of watch making. In 1656, the pendulum clock was invented.

The world’s first tourbillon appeared in 1795. The mechanical stopwatch was patented in 1930. And in 2012, Stauer created the Opus Timepiece. This watch deserves a place in the legacy of timekeeping legends because it was directly inspired by them.

After years of searching auctions and private sales, I dreamed of the ideal vintage watch. Everything I found came close, but nothing was perfect. That’s when I decided to stop looking and start working. I combined the best parts of my favorite watches to build my own, brand-new vintage masterpiece: the Stauer Opus.

The icons of watchmaking inspired every detail of the Stauer Opus.

Its distinctive top-mounted crown is taken from a classic Audemars, one of the most definitive pocket watches in history. The rose goldfused stainless steel case was inspired by a Jaeger wristwatch and the oxidized, antiqued ivory face recalls a prized Eberhard from my collection. The exhibition back of a 1950s Patek mirrors the flip side of the Stauer Opus, giving you a stunning view into this 17-jewel, 12 1-800-806-1484

Our buyer recently secured a huge cache of beautiful rare tanzanite, the precious stone loved for its vivid violet-blue color.

Today you can own over 1 carat of this rare stone (1,000 times rarer than diamonds) in our spectacular 1 1/5-ctw Tanzanite Cluster Ring with a suggested retail of $795 for only $79.

It started with a lightning bolt. One strike set the African plains on fire and uncovered a secret that was buried for more than 585 million years. Tanzanite naturally occurs in only one place on Earth: Tanzania’s remote Merelani Hills, in the shadow of Mount Kilimanjaro.

World’s most endangered gem. Top-quality tanzanites can often fetch higher prices than diamonds. But, once the last purple gem is pulled from that remote spot beneath Kilimanjaro, that’s it. No more tanzanite.

Reserve your piece of gem history. If you go online right now, you’ll find one of the largest retailers selling tanzanite rings for well over $2,000 each. Ridiculous. Instead, you can secure your own piece of limited-edition tanzanite history at the right price.

Our promise of absolute satisfaction is 100% guaranteed. Our offers are so consumer friendly that we have earned an A+ Rating with the Better Business Bureau. But, why less than $80 for a genuine 1 1/5-ctw tanzanite ring? It’s simple. We want you to come back to Stauer for all of your jewelry and watch purchases.

If you are not 100% delighted with your ring, send it back within 30 days for a full refund of the purchase price. Just remember that the odds of finding this stone at this price ever again is like waiting for lightning to strike the same place twice.

New! Good to the first drop

A.

This ring reminds me of a love story. A man moved to the desert to grow a garden. His neighbors told him he was crazy. He planted anyway, confident that water would come. It never did. Everything in the garden withered and turned to dust. Until one day, the dark clouds came. He was standing on the barren soil when that first drop hit his face. Lightning chased him inside. He listened to the rain on the roof until someone pounded at the door. It was her.

She was drenched. “I choose you,” she said. He smiled and then a clap of thunder sent her running into his arms.

Our Raindrop Blue Topaz Ring is a reminder that good things come to those who wait. The smooth-polished gemstone sits like a perfect dollop of rain atop a .925 sterling silver band layered with 14K yellow gold. We’ve forsaken facets and sharp angles for a stunning, smooth square cabochon of aqua blue. It sits cradled between four prongs, each topped with a genuine white diamond.

One look at the blue stone—balanced like a solitary droplet on a leaf—evokes all the romance of two people caught in the rain.

Refreshingly smooth topaz!

New! They got it right the first time These gorgeous garnet earrings would have fit right in 2,000 years ago. Back then, the Etruscans of central Italy were the jewelry masters of the world, perfecting techniques that would be used for centuries to come. Their works of decorative art were so impressively intricate that when artifacts from that civilization were discovered, modern craftsmen found it nearly impossible to reproduce the quality of the work. But the artisans behind our 22-carat Giulia Garnet Earrings have brought back that Etruscan style in a design that’s tantalizingly timeless.

Ancient Etruscan jewelers were famous for their fabulous filigree work, creating glimmering granulation in staggeringly precise concentric patterns. The inspiration for their pieces came largely from nature, using shapes and symbols that echoed the world around them. Disc earrings much like these were among the most fashionable trends of the time. And one of the most popular inspirations was the luscious pomegranate. You can see the connection in the dynamic design of our Giulia Earrings. Succulent garnet ovals cluster together inside antiqued sterling hoops, each delicately adorned with a frame of filigreed gold over silver.

For generations, artists have attempted to recreate the legendary techniques of the Estruscans. There are some experts who say that the skill and beauty of the “jewelry masters of the ancient world” will never be matched. We think it doesn’t hurt to try.

The Raindrop Blue Topaz Ring is a perfect storm of color and sparkle, with all the flash and excitement of a sudden summer downpour. Leave your umbrella behind.

take superstition seriously. There are certain numbers I avoid and D. hotel rooms I will not sleep in. I know I’m in for a bad day when someone steals my lucky parking space. And I never step onto a boat without my aquamarine.

Ever since ancient times, sailors have sworn by this beautiful blue gem as a talisman and protector for anyone traveling on the open water. Seafarers considered it a stone of courage and a sacred gem directly connected to Neptune. No matter what secret E. treasure was stowed away in the hold, there was no more precious cargo than aquamarine. That’s why I never leave shore without it.

Does it work? I haven’t been shipwrecked yet.

We’re not allowed to call this necklace a “personal flotation device.” But once you indulge in the luxury of this much aquamarine, your feet may feel like they’ve left the floor. The Maré Aquamarine Necklace is elegant and effortless at the same time. Wearing 300 carats definitely feels like a fashion statement. But the cool touch of smooth beads on bare skin echoes with a whisper. And a closer look reveals why the color is so captivating.

You might be able to hear the ocean inside the whooshing cave of a conch shell, but you can only see the seas swirling inside a bead of aquamarine. Derived from the Latin words for “water of the sea,” the refreshing blue gemstones deliver all the shades of the world’s oceans in one place. Each of the beads in this necklace is like a droplet of the sea frozen in space and time. Churning blue-green seawater and white frothy foam captured for an eternity.

The Maré Aquamarine Necklace features two strands of graduated aquamarine beads, separated with 14K gold-layered spacers. Your 20" necklace secures with a 14K gold-layered lobster clasp. No matter what your destination or how you plan to get there, this is the perfect necklace for turning rough seas into smooth sailing

New! You lucky devil Literature is full of tales of desperate men who traded their soul for some ill-gotten good fortune. Those stories rarely ended well. That’s why you should steer clear of any meetings that involve crossroads and contracts. You see a guy with horns and a tail? Keep walking. We found a much better way to change your luck for the better. Wear the Fortuna Gold & Diamond Ring and you’ll never have to worry about the odds.

Classier than a rabbit’s foot and much more practical than a pocket of four-leaf clovers, the Fortuna Ring is the ultimate good luck charm. But it didn’t get that way by chance. Jewelry artisans individually set genuine white diamonds into a stunning horseshoe design of 10K gold.

The shape has been considered a symbol of good luck since the legendary 10th-century escapades of St. Dunstan. The English Archbishop (and patron saint of goldsmiths) was supposed to shoe the Devil’s horse but he shoed the Devil instead, causing excruciating pain. Dunstan agreed to remove the shoe only if the Devil promised to never enter a home that had a horseshoe over its doorway. These days, thanks to the Fortuna Ring, you can bring your horseshoe everywhere. Because when it feels like the chips are stacked against you, it helps to have a little extra luck on your side.

his is the watch you wear when failure is not an option. The watch that’s there when the red light turns green and a pat on the back sends you hurtling into the black of jungle below. The watch that gets synchronized before the masks go on, mouthpieces go in and the entire team disappears underwater. And the watch you depend on when everything depends on you.

Inspired by the timepieces worn by America’s most elite fighting forces, the Stauer Stealth Tritium Watch is the ultimate undercover accessory. It’s powered by a precision Swiss quartz movement and lit by the modern miracle of GTLS (gaseous tritium light source) technology—a remarkable illumination system that keeps dial markers visible even in complete darkness. Originally designed in Switzerland, GTLS was almost exclusively used in advanced U.S. military equipment and watches for years, making

it almost impossible to find for civilian use.

The Stauer Stealth Tritium is equipped with self-powered micro-gas lights that don’t need to be charged by an external light source. Located at the 3, 6, 9 and 12 o’clock positions, these hour markers will remain bright even after days in the field. Only Stauer can bring you such an advanced piece of tritium technology for this price without compromising a millimeter on its integrity.

Adding to the easy readability of the handsome white-on-black dial are luminescent hands, hour markers, and a vivid second hand. The watch keeps civilian time as well as military time. It features a rotating bezel, a date window between the 4 and 5 o’clock positions, and a lightweight polycarbonate case (a nearly unbreakable acrylic used in bulletproof glass) that’s water-resistant to 10 ATM and secures with a band if high-performance black rubber.

Wear the Stealth Tritium, and (you’ll) never be late for Go Time.

Fits wrists 7 ¼"–9 ¼".

lbert said the bracelet once belonged to the Countess Rivieré, a regular in his Paris jewelry shop. “She wore diamonds like no woman I’ve ever seen,” he said.

“Every one of these stones sparkles less in her absence.” We never met her, but we still fell in love with her bracelet. And so will you. Once you snap this band of brilliant white fire around your own lady’s wrist, it will look (and feel) like she just inherited a fortune. But the only fortunes involved are the one you saved and our good fortune finding a designer talented enough to transform a $49,000 heirloom into the spectacular 20-carat DiamondAura® Rivieré Bracelet for only $99.

Of course, Albert didn’t recall what Madame Rivieré was the Countess of, or what happened to her after she stopped visiting his tiny shop on the Rue Saint-Honoré. But he still misses her terribly. And his story almost compelled me to buy the bracelet. Almost.

I say almost because vintage white diamonds don’t come cheap. The Countess’s original was a gorgeous piece with the kind of flash that surely sparked whispers and stares back in her day. But I knew we could use science to create a bolder, more beautiful version for much less.

A stunning Stauer debut!

Faceted, rainbow-colored opals from the history-making mines of East Africa!

Rediscover the “Lost Gem” of Africa

Time to set your rubies free For centuries the world’s finest watchmakers have used rubies inside their mechanical timepieces to keep them running smoothly. While nothing works better from a practical perspective, we felt it was a shame to hide such a stunning stone. Our elegant Scarlett Watch puts the radiant red stones in the spotlight, with 44 lab-created Scienza™ rubies set along the bezel.

This watch might not exist without luxury’s greatest loophole.

Back in the 16th century, the Calvinists banned almost all forms of jewelry. The one exception was watches. So Geneva’s finest jewelers and goldsmiths began honing their skills in watchmaking, using their artistic flair and technical expertise to create some of the most beautiful timepieces ever made.

The Scienza rubies in this watch’s bezel are chemically identical to natural gemstones in every way. The chief difference between them is that the lab-created stunners have far fewer imperfections, and as a result display superior color and beauty. And of course, they can be yours for a far less daunting price.

In addition to the glittering stone bezel, we’ve set 8 labcreated DiamondAura® rounds into the swirling, decorative dial.

Three golden hands and shimmering Roman numerals add extra dashes of opulence, and the white leather strap provides a sophisticated final touch. You’ll also be happy to hear that we haven’t traded fashion for function. Thanks to a precise quartz movement, the Scarlett is a watch that’s as accurate as it is beautiful.

Our search for rare stones uncovers an unexpected treasure in a shape we’d never seen before...

E

ver since the 19th century, the Australian outback has been known as an opal paradise. The stunning rainbow gems found in places such as Lightning Ridge, Coober Pedy and Quilpie have captivated the world with their color. The stones from Down Under have been responsible for as much as 95% of the world’s gem-quality opals. But the spectacular squares in our Abyssinia Opal Collection belong to that exclusive 5%.

Aussie opals faced little competition from the rest of the world until 1939, when a famous anthropologist uncovered opal artifacts F. in Kenya that dated back to 4000 BC. The historic find left him convinced that great opal mines had to be nearby. But no significant deposits were ever found. And it would be more than 50 years before the “lost gem” of Africa would make its triumphant return.

In the 1990s, the discovery of opals in Ethiopia marked the dawn of a new age for the beloved gemstone. Deposits in regions such as Welo unveiled a spectacular new family of opals. Mining is a time-consuming process that is still done by hand, one rock at a time. So even while the worldwide demand for this rare new gem is at an all-time high, finding enough exceptional rough, is a challenge.

To call our Abyssinia Opal Ring a rarity would be an

understatement. It’s nothing short of a revelation. Honestly, the best part of shopping the world for precious gems is that, once in a while, I stumble on something that I’ve NEVER seen before. Finding this extraordinary cache of Ethiopian opals was cause enough for celebration. But discovering an artist who could transform the rough gem into an elegantly-faceted jewel? That was a miracle.

Expert gem-cutters adore the Ethiopian opal for its consistent color play. The iridescent rainbow penetrates deep into the rough stone so, in skilled hands, the right cut will set all that color free.

Our Abyssinia Ring features a 1-carat emerald-cut Ethiopian opal, prong-set in 14K gold-layered sterling silver, flanked by genuine white diamonds. The matching post-back earrings are similarly set in gold-layered .925 sterling and topped with a threesome of white diamond rounds.

We’ve never offered a faceted opal. We’re betting that you’ve never owned one, which makes this an excellent opportunity for all of us to experience the magic and mystery of Africa’s “lost gemstone.”

Don’t miss your chance to own a truly unique collection that illuminates the beauty of the legendary opal in a bold new way.

The Queen of Hollywood’s not-so-secret love affair Some women have a different definition of ‘normal.’ When one famous Hollywood actor bought a 33-carat diamond ring for his even more famous Hollywood actress wife, it made headlines.

The diva fell in love with the $305,000 bauble and it became her favorite everyday ring. She slipped that glacier on her finger the same way other folks stepped into a pair of sneakers. The ring traveled with her everywhere from the grocery store to swanky international parties. At one royal wedding, a British princess tried it on and declared, “How very vulgar!” Without missing a beat, the Hollywood legend replied, “Yeah, ain’t it great!”

Last year, her world famous ring sold for $8.8 million at auction. If you missed your chance to own the original, have no fear. Inspired by the Queen of Hollywood’s most beloved crown jewel, we’ve created the magnificent Grande Dame Ring. Our version features a massive 59-carat, emerald-cut lab-created DiamondAura® set in gleaming .925 sterling silver. That’s almost twice the carat weight of the breathtaking original! And the best part is that you don’t have to wait for an obscenely wealthy admirer to spring his six-figure surprise. Thanks to advanced science, the Grande Dame Ring sparkles with even more fire than natural diamonds, without the outrageous price tag. Now you can release your inner diva and flaunt your movie star style...without spending a fortune.

The official currency of Paris Paris is a place where being rich has nothing to do with money. Yes, the billionaires and jetsetters can be seen bouncing from boutique to bouE. tique. There are exclusive clubs, fancy parties and restaurants where your bank account gets you on the guest list. But the wealthiest people in Paris are those who are worthy of a second look. Beauty is the official currency of Paris. And it doesn’t matter what you carry in your wallet, so long as you carry yourself with impeccable style.

A fabulous necklace always trumps net worth. And its no coincidence that our Bezons Necklace comes from the mind of a Paris jewelry designer. Handhammered pewter discs are dipped in lustrous 24K yellow gold and linked together like a wreath of golden rose petals. The design is deceptively simple, resembling some lost treasure from antiquity.

But the sense of style is unmistakably modern.

The necklace fastens with a gold-layered chain that secures with a lobster clasp. The matching earrings feature a trio of discs that dangle artfully from French hooks.

here’s nothing more welcoming than an empty beach. When we wanted to escape the crowded resorts of Rio, they told us to head north to the Marau Peninsula in Brazil where there are more wild palms than footprints in the sand. It turned out to be equal parts paradise and isolation. And except for a few nosey crabs, it was an unforgettable escape. But sometimes you need more than photos to remember a beach like Taipus de Fora. And the enchanting landscapes of the Barra Grande deserve more than a slideshow.

That’s why I went out of my way to find these stunning works of South American art, gemstones that capture the magic and the mood of paradise. As souvenirs go, it’s hard to beat the stunning Barra Brazilian Amethyst & Smokey Quartz Collection.

Every exceptional piece of jewelry in this set was handcrafted in Brazil, using the finest local gemstones and generations of jewelerly expertise. Working from a

simmering palette of multicolored amethyst and quartz, artists have crafted a sultry samba of stones set in 18K gold over sterling silver.

Nothing better captures the colors of the crystal waters of the Marau Peninsula (“marau” is an indigenous word that means “the sun’s light at daybreak”) than this patchwork of precious stones. Each gem is set in fine sterling silver layered with 18K yellow gold. The pendant features a symmetrical quartet of carre-cut gemstones, including lavender amethyst and rose quartz. The stunning earrings present a rainbow of translucent color with oval briolettes that graduate in size and shade from dark smoke to vivid violet and champagne. Four stones steal the show in the ring, which places elongated, faceted ovals side-by-side in an eye-catching, minimalist design. And finally, the 7 ½" bracelet showcases a display of square cabochons, each illuminated like the tidal pools along the Barra Grande at sunrise, sunset and full moon.

It doesn’t matter if you take a dip one piece at a time or dive in with the whole set, our Barra Brazilian Collection is the next best thing to being there.

We think “the house” has had the advantage for too long. When it comes to shopping for fine jewelry, you now have a choice.

Buy from Stauer and you feel good. You feel smart. And most importantly, you feel change in your pocket.

Let me get to the point. We’d like you to get that feeling with the spectacular 2-carat DiamondAura® Sweet Nothing Pendant.

This gorgeous pendant features a knockout combination of a 1 ¼-carat round, lab-created DiamondAura and 1⁄3-carat pear-cut DiamondAura surrounded by 32 brilliant rounds set in fine .925 sterling silver. The total weight tops 2 full carats and packs more fire per facet than most mined stones. More fire is nice, but the hottest thing about the Sweet Nothing Pendant has to be the price.

Our exclusive lab creations retain every jeweler’s specification including cut, color, clarity and carat weight. All natural diamonds are strictly graded according to these criteria. The stones that score the highest, command the highest price. That’s just the way it’s always worked. And our exclusive DiamondAura follow the exact same rules, except for one. They ace every test, scoring higher than almost any white diamond you’ll find in stores. But instead of an outrageously high price, we prefer to see how low we can go.

The return of a 1940’s military classic… bring it home today!

Surrender to 400 carats of temptation

New! Get a piece of the auction

I

didn’t mean to buy the watch. But it wasn’t exactly an accident either. My wife told to me to sit on my hands because she knows how I can get at these vintage watch auctions, but there was something about that beautiful blue face...I couldn’t help myself.

It was one of the earliest examples of that particular watch design I’d ever seen. A classic military model straight out of the 1940s.

And I felt lucky to win it at auction. It was described by the seller as “needing some TLC” and that couldn’t have been more true. I took it to my watch guy and he spent a few days with it, deconstructing it, researching the movement, cataloging the work that would have to be done to get it running again. He rolled his chair back from his work station, lifted the loupe from his eye and said, “I can restore it for you. But by the time I get done, it’ll basically be a brand new watch.” And it was right then that I decided to build the Stauer Exemplar Watch.

26 1-800-806-1484

We kept the striking metallic blue dial because it was what had attracted me to the watch in the first place. But we added complications, making this timepiece a chronograph and creating a more balanced design. Between 4 and 5 o’clock we included a date window and made the hands luminescent so you can stay on schedule day or night. The stainless steel case gleams even brighter than the original did after polishing, and on the genuine leather band we added bold white stitching for contrast. But the biggest change we made was on the inside.

The Exemplar is driven by an incredibly precise quartz movement that oscillates at a frequency of 32,768 cycles per second to keep time accurately within one second per day. This is what I love most about my job—taking great treasures from the past and making them even better than before. Fits wrists 7"–8 ½".

Are you ready for this necklace?

You might think you are, but when dealing with 400 carats of the most robust red gem on the planet, we C want you to be prepared. Before you bring this Voros Ruby Necklace into your home, you need to understand the consequences.

Possible side effects may include: spontaneous kissing and periods of intense hugging, increased heart D. rate and euphoric dizziness, laughter, slow dancing, happy tears and the urge to get away for the weekend. Some people may experience: sudden long walks on the beach, chronic holding of hands, episodes of snuggling, spooning and staring lovingly into each other’s eyes, frequent bouts of frolicking, an exagerrated feeling of well-being, persistent or severe joy, uncontrollable smiling and an unusual compulsion to share feelings and milkshakes. Less serious side effects may include: picnicking, increased appetite for romantic comedies and overuse of the words “honey” and “sweetheart.”

You may think we’re being a bit dramatic, but I can assure you that we’re not. This is, after all, ruby that we’re talking about. It’s the most fiery of the “Big Four” gemstones and notorious throughout history for provoking passion, lust and intense romantic emotions. Just look at the color and you can understand what all the fuss is about. Each smooth-polished nugget in the Voros Necklace is a genuine natural gemstone, deep crimson in color and infused with the incomparable mystique of rubies. The 18" strand is handstrung and double-knotted with decorative, gold-fused beads. If you’re looking to make a romantic impression, you can hardly go wrong with 400 carats of enhanced natural rubies. But if you’re going to go that far, why not take it all the way.

There is no such thing as “too much of a good thing.” That’s what I like to call “lover’s logic.” If you love someone, it’s not enough to see them once in a while. You want to be together always and forever.

Hopeless romantics know that it’s always a good idea to go overboard.

And that’s why we’re offering the matching 150-carat 7" (+2"extender) Voros Ruby Bracelet and the 1 ½" 40-carat Voros Ruby Earrings.

You get the chance to impress her with 590 carats of rubies for under $300! But of course, with that amount of ravishing red gemstones come some additional warnings.

Anyone who purchases the complete Voros Ruby Collection is guaranteed to experience certain lasting changes. Permanent side effects may include: long-term attachment to the object of your affections and living happily ever after.

New! A glass from the past Wearing the Rialto Murano Glass Collection is like crossing a bridge through time “Don’t blink.” That was his advice as we entered the workshop. We walked in and the master was already at work.

“Don’t blink,” his apprentice said again.

And as the master pulled a lump of redC. hot glass from the furnace, I saw why.

Each piece that came from the fire was molten for mere seconds. During those fleeting moments he formed it into something beautiful. And if I had looked away, I might have missed what I came to see—the creation of genuine Murano glass like the beads in our 23" (plus 2" extender) Rialto Necklace.

Working gracefully at a staggering speed, the legendary Venetian glass masters pull and twist, turn and blow, gently manipulating the glass into objects of beauty right before your eyes. Their techniques haven’t changed since the 1300s, making this craft one of the oldest surviving art forms on the planet. Murano is a series of tiny islands connected by bridges, so it’s appropriate that there should be such a connection with history. The creation of Murano glass is, in and of itself, a bridge to the past. And each bead in this necklace is a link to that tradition. Each olive-shaped bead is unique, swirled with gold foil and enamels to produce a stunning symphony of color when strung together. Every piece in the Rialto Collection is a work of ancient Italian art that looks as modern as ever. Handmade in Venice.

Do you dream in green?

As the mist clears, you press on toward the F. mouth of the jungle. But like the intrepid explorers who came to South America in search of fortune and glory in the form of precious green stones, you can’t help yourself. You’ve heard tales of a scintillating 50-carat emerald...

After following your guide past snakes and G. snares, you catch a glimpse of the glorious green treasure...and then you wake up. It was all a dream. Except the emerald. That part was real. The gigantic stone can be yours in our Oval Emerald Pendant for only $199!

Although emeralds of this size often land in museums, we think something so spectacular belongs around a neck—not under glass. The impressive 50-carat faceted stone is a natural emerald carefully enhanced by our jewelers to bring out its finest color.

And its exquisite, sterling silver frame is ringed with meticulous filigree and beadwork which has been hand-worked in Bali, demonstrating only the most refined craftsmanship.

Beauty is in the eye of the believer No matter where I travel in the world, my favorite buildings to visit are places of worship. I’m always awed by the architecture and humbled by the design. From the grand mosques of Istanbul to the towering cathedrals of Madrid, there’s a unique kind of beauty found in buildings of faith. But sometimes, the most memorable discoveries aren’t the most monumental.

The inspiration for this elegant Rosa Cross Necklace was hiding inside a modest village church just outside of Rome. A striking example of medieval goldsmithing, it sparkled with shimmering gemstones. Without exaggeration, it was the most exquisitely-crafted cross I have ever seen. Though the original remains on display in a candlelit alcove strewn with rose petals, I commissioned talented jewelers to recreate every delicate detail of the opulent antique.

Centuries ago, the goal of ancient craftsmen was to create divinely-inspired works of art that looked as if they had fallen from heaven. Not much has changed. Modern-day artists have layered this .925 sterling-silver cross in warm, 14K rose gold and set it with brilliant, lab-created DiamondAura® rounds that shine with even more fire than natural diamonds. The airy, floral design really lets in the light and sets every facet on fire. Wear this necklace for yourself and you’ll see that sometimes divinity is in the details.

How to make a billionaire blush

Unbelievable raw diamond deal!

C.

A.

To name something after billionaire Gilded Age industrialist J.P. Morgan, it had better be big. Few men were more powerful.

Anything with his name should strike fear in the hearts of men. A towering skyscraper of concrete and metal. Or heck, maybe even a U.S. Navy battleship. But a pretty pink gemstone? It doesn’t make sense. Unless you know J.P. Morgan’s not-so-secret identity.

Underneath his no-nonsense exterior, the man had a soft spot for rare stones. Our Morganite & DiamondAura® Ring is just the kind of thing that would catch his eye. And not only because it features a 1 ⅓-carat oval of his namesake stone. Morgan was one of the most important collectors of precious gems on the planet. In 1911, America’s leading gem expert rewarded his generosity by renaming the stone formerly known as “pink emerald.” First discovered in Madagascar, morganite is a close cousin of emerald and aquamarine. The alluring pink stone is almost chemically identical, save for the dash of managanese responsible for its blush-colored hue.

Our Morganite & DiamondAura Ring showcases a stunning pink oval prong-set on a stage of fine .925 sterling silver layered in 14K rose gold. The shoulders sparkle with fiery white rounds of lab-created, DiamondAura. Plenty have looked to Morgan for financial inspiration, but we prefer his eye for beauty. And for under $100, we can almost guarantee he would approve of such a romantic investment.

Milan’s most fashionable square

New! The naked truth about diamonds This is what real diamonds look like. Experience 3 carats of unfinished beauty for UNDER $400!

There is no man on Earth who can cut a diamond like this. Today, the best cutters in Belgium use computers and high-powered lasers in the pursuit of perfection. But once upon a time, diamond geology was more important than geometry. Before cutting and polishing became an art form, the precious stones pulled from the ground were accepted exactly as they were. When miners in the fabled Indian city of Golconda collected diamonds for 16th-century royalty, all they did was wash away the dirt. They believed altering the stone from its natural state sapped all of its healing and protective power. A cut diamond lost all its magic. And a diamond without magic is just an ordinary stone.

You won’t find any ordinary stones in our House of Bruges™ Raw Diamond Collection. Staying true to the old-fashB. ioned aesthetic, we’ve captured three carats of genuine raw diamond—unpolished and uncut—and wrapped them in 14K gold vermeil.

Centuries after the first diamond was cut, modern jewelers have learned to appreciate the beauty of a diamond in the buff.

30 1-800-806-1484

We still adore the way that light dances through a brilliant-cut white diamond, but there’s something special about an untouched gemstone that formed over millions of years underground. Other high-end retailers are happy to charge you thousands for the privilege of flaunting these unfinished beauties, but only Stauer can deliver this much genuine diamond for so little.

The Raw Diamond Ring features three uncut diamonds, each hand-fitted into a “cage” of 14K gold vermeil loops that holds it in place. At the center of the bloom, we’ve set a glittering trio of lab-created DiamondAura®. The superior fire and near-flawless clarity of these three scientifically-crafted rounds make a stunning complement to the larger raw natural diamonds. The ring puts it all forward on a gold vermeil band and the matching pendant dangles artfully from an 18" chain. Only one question remains: Are you ready for the rough stuff?

Stroll Swiss Made through the crowds of supermodels and scooters and you’ll see spotless display windows emblazoned with iconic logos and the names of fashion royalty. Odds are, if you’ve seen it on the runway or in the pages of a glossy magazine, you’ll find it in the “quadrilatero della moda” (literally “the quadrilateral of fashion”).

But you can window shop all day and never come across the Della Moda Swiss-Made Ladies Watch. It’s simply not available in any store...even the most stylish in the world. Yes, there will be plenty of watches that look just like it. You’re welcome to peer through the bulletproof glass at its near identical twins, all equally elegant in black and gold with flashes of brilliant white fire. Of course, the logos will be different. The service will come with tons more attitude. And the price? Expect plenty of extra zeroes.

We believe high fashion doesn’t have to cost a fortune. The stunning Della Moda Watch is driven by a legendary Swiss quartz movement and expertly-assembled by Swiss watchmakers. The gold-toned square case features a sparkling bezel set with genuine Austrian crystals. And the Della Moda secures with a glossy black, Milanese-style metal mesh strap.

Legendary Swiss precision for less!

New! The sapphire that almost got away

It was one of the biggest gem heists in American history. In 1964, surfing champion turned cat burglar Jack Murphy and his crew climbed through an unlocked window into the American Museum of Natural History. Thanks to poor security and a dead alarm battery, they walked out with three of the most expensive gems in the world. Among them was the spectacular Star of India, a 563-carat, star sapphire donated by billionaire J.P. Morgan.

This is the ring Murphy would have worn if he had gotten away with it. Our Astos Lab-Created Star Sapphire & Genuine Diamond Ring showcases a magnificent, midnight-blue lab-created star sapphire, surrounded by genuine white diamonds and set in a band of 14K gold. You can almost imagine it flashing on his finger as he told stories at a bar on some Mexican beach, bragging about his famous haul. But it didn’t end that way. Police arrested “Murph the Surf” only two days after his bold crime. The legendary Star of India sapphire turned up months later in a Miami bus station locker.

Genuine star sapphires have been prized for centuries for their unique, six-pointed starbursts, created when light reflects off tiny inclusions in the stone. Securing a near-flawless, natural star sapphire with such rich color would cost you tens of thousands of dollars (without the setting). But scientists have found a way to perfect this incredibly rare star-effect in a lab-created stone for under $1,000! This is the sapphire that didn’t get away.

How to impress a Duchess A man who sacrifices the throne of England should get a free pass. But even after choosing Wallis Simpson over the crown, Edward VIII still had plenty of romantic work to do.

Impressing his beloved became a full-time job for “The Man Who Used to be King.” And it was an expensive one, since Simpson’s love of luxury jewelry was legendary. Thankfully, the Duke of Windsor had impeccable taste. The Duchess was particularly smitten with her blue chalcedony jewelry, crafted by a famous Italian designer. She was so fond of the powdery blue hue that she wore it constantly.

Our Duchess Blue Chalcedony Collection is an elegant tribute to her favorite gemstone. The Necklace features a dramatic blue chalcedony tearD. drop, polished smooth and cradled in a sterling-silver setting layered with rich rose gold. The unique swoop and sparkling bail both glimmer with stunning lab-created DiamondAura™ rounds and the entire pendant dangles from an 18" rose gold-layered chain.

The 100-year-old watch that was born yesterday

T Over 20 carats of blue chalcedony & DiamondAura

ake my word for it, this is the watch your grandfather wishes he had. Most hard-working gentlemen at the turn of the 20th century had a soft spot for a timepiece like this. Slim. Elegant. Just enough golden flash to suggest a taste for the finer things. There’s no doubt that grandpa wanted one of these. Not everybody got to experience the pleasure of Swiss luxury. Some landed one after retirement.

Others saved a lifetime to afford one. Today, you don’t have to wait nearly as long. We’ve gone back in time and made it better. This is the world’s only 100-year-old watch that was born yesterday.

®

Thin is in! Measures a super-slim 8.4mm!

The Stauer Exeter is not a vintage watch—it’s better! Its fired ceramic face recalls the porcelain complexions of another time. The civilized

arrangement of Roman numerals, Breguet-styled hands and a separate seconds dial pays tribute to a less complicated era. Once you put it on, you might just have to check the calendar to make sure it’s not 1912.

I modeled the ultra-slim Exeter after one of the first wristwatches ever made by Switzerland’s most influential timekeeping dynasty.

Inside, it keeps precise time thanks to a legendary Swiss movement. Outside, it’s water-resistant to 3 ATM and secures with a genuine brown leather band. And if you think your old man’s old man had a tough time getting a watch like this in his day... things haven’t gotten any easier. Turn-of-the-century originals at auction can easily set you back six figures. Even luxury brand “reissues” start around $18,000! Stauer is the only place you’ll find a watch that looks like the original, runs more accurately and costs LESS than it would have 100 years ago. Your grandfather would be proud. Fits wrists 7 ¼"–9 ½".

Modern man discovers fire When primitive man first encountered fire, it was magical. He stood mesmerized as the flames danced and lit up the darkest of nights. Thousands of years later, science came along to explain that fire was simply the rapid oxidation of material, the exothermic chemical process of combustion. So much for magic.

The Cascade Helenite & Blue Topaz Ring absolutely erupts with explosive green. At the center we’ve placed a massive 10-carat faceted helenite oval—it seems to almost glow internally, as if lit by some verdant fire. Set in 14K gold layered over the finest .925 sterling silver, the stone flashes and flickers in radiant glory, echoing its dramatic origins. And to balance the bright heat of that gorgeous green we’ve surrounded the impressive stone with the soothing cool hue of blue topaz rounds (totaling 3 full carats). We transformed one of history’s most impressive displays of raw power into a romantic and refined expression of love.

The sparkler in our Men’s Adamas Ring only looks like a perfect natural diamond. The truth is that it was born in a laboratory.

After taking all the wonder out of the natural world, science redeemed itself in the 1970s by perfecting the process behind lab-created DiamondAura®. Chemists and gemologists worked together to focus intense heat, unbelievable pressure and remarkable technical skill on something that simply redefined brilliance.

In terms of light dispersion, the lab-created centerpiece in this ring explodes with even more fire than natural mined diamonds.

We’ve taken full advantage of that sparkle by setting the stunning ½-carat DiamondAura round in a bold, .925 sterling-silver band.

What they created was a brilliant diamond alternative that burned so bright it brought all of that old magic back. Wear it yourself and experience the science and style of a brand new “stone age.”

n my travels around the world, I’ve seen my share of epic sculpture. I’ve stood at the base of the Parthenon and strolled the Alhambra Palace.

I’ve stared down the Sphinx and craned my neck up at the towering Tanah Lot temple in Bali.

Each hand-carved, one-of-a-kind piece in our Patra Collection is a work of exceptional beauty, created by Balinese master jewelers.

Why gamble when you can go “all in.” These are the cuts that launched a million romances.

They’ve melted a million of hearts.

They’ve adorned princesses and movie stars. Throughout the 650 years of gem-cutting history, new C. cuts periodically seize the attention of jewelers all over the world.

Since 1375, when the first guild of diamond cutters was formed in Germany, “brillianteers” have dictated the way we wear our gems.

Their goal was nothing less than finding a way to slow down the speed of light. The careful arrangement of facets on a diamond is meant to ignite the fire inside by diverting rays of light through the stone, bouncing them off at different angles and setting off the fireworks that make clear gemstones so appealing.

S

he blamed Maximilian for starting the madness. Years earlier, in 1477, the Holy Roman Emperor presented Mary of Burgundy with a diamond ring. His intention was marriage and the ring was meant as a solemn promise. That romantic royal “contract” was history’s first engagement ring. And that’s why all of the men in Rosella’s life thought they could win her heart with the perfect combination of diamonds and gold.

At the time, she was considered the most beautiful woman in Bruges. Men would spend outrageous money on enormous white stones, paying handsomely for one-of-a-kind cuts named after her. Some journeyed across oceans to bring back stones bartered from princes and maharajahs. But since her father was the most respected diamond-cutter in the city, she’d seen it all before. She remained unimpressed until the day a package appeared on her doorstep. The ring inside changed everything.

As soon as she saw the three black stones, she fainted. She awoke in the arms of a man she recognized from long ago. He was just back from Africa, where he’d found a cache of rare black diamonds. He slid the ring on her finger, where it remained for the rest of her days.

38 1-800-806-1484

Fact or fiction, I knew we had to reproduce that ring. But I knew it couldn’t be just any ring. It had to be the ring that “changed everything.” After months of failed attempts, we finally found success. And if there was any piece of jewelry worthy of that wildly romantic tale, it’s the Rosella Black Diamond Ring.

The Rosella Ring features a stunning setting of rose gold-fused sterling silver vines that twist and wind their way around the bold black gemstones. Each of the three European-cut black diamonds sits high on a circular stage, surrounded by a shimmering halo of brilliant-cut, lab-created DiamondAura®. The bold contrast of black and white can be seen from across the room. And the warm luster of the rose gold gives this work of art a softness and sophistication that has to be seen to be believed.

Nobody else but Stauer can deliver a one-carat work of art like this for under $400. Just promise that when she sees it for the first time, you’ll be ready to catch her!

Starting at the top, the Omni’s bail is adorned with an opulent 56-facet oval-cut DiamondAura. Next in line are the 76-facet princess-cut and 59-facet heart-cut. Then comes the 58-facet round brilliant-cut (developed in the 17th-century). The Omni Pendant culminates in a dramatic, 2-carat pear-cut stunner.

Not only have we collected the greatest cuts of all time, but each stunning solitaire is crafted from our exclusive, lab-created DiamondAura. Inside a laboratory, rare minerals are heated to incredibly-high temperatures of nearly 5,000 F° to create faultless marvels that emulate the most perfect D-flawless diamonds.

In fact, DiamondAura actually exceeds the fire of the world’s best diamonds.

One tough lightweight...

The U.S. government has engineered the most ingenious, most accurate clock in the world: the F-1 U.S. Atomic Clock in Boulder, Colorado. Our extraordinary new Stauer Titanium Atomic Watch utilizes the transmissions directly from that remarkable cesium fission atomic clock to report the most precise time.

This scientifically-advanced timepiece will gain or lose only one second over a 20 million-year period. It is that accurate! This perfectly-tuned technological invention with the super light strength of titanium is now available for UNDER $150.

Super Light Titanium has two big advantages over steel. One is corrosion resistance and the other is that titanium has the highest strength-to-weight ratio of any metal, which means that titanium is approximately 45% lighter than steel. But every other titanium watch that we can find is priced at over $500, and none of those are nearly as accurate as our atomic movement. You’ll never have to set this watch. Just push one button and you’re synchronized with the atomic clock in Colorado, and the hands of the watch move to the exact time position. The sleek black textured dial has luminous hands and markers, plus the timepiece is water resistant to 3 ATMs. This Titanium Atomic Watch exceeds the accuracy of any Swiss luxury automatic so you can be more punctual and keep most of your money in your wallet, not on your wrist. Fits wrists 6 ½” to 9”.

If you want to impress her, diamonds are SO last century. For the first time something altogether finer and more brilliant than a diamond exists. And it started in a galaxy far away...

S

he is the one. Completely unique. So why stick with something as mundane as an ordinary diamond? She deserves better. Much better. In order to find something for her you need to consult the moon and stars and it is there that you will find Berzelian™.

Berzelian

Your Brilliant Choice

What is Berzelian? In 1893, one French scientist Henri Moissan discovered a 50,000-year-old meteorite in the Arizona desert. Inside he found traces of a substance never before found on our planet. The rare crystal was simply stunning, but there was barely enough to make a single pair of earrings. Earth’s entire supply fit in the palm of his hand.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT THIS REMARKABLE STONE… “...the perfect symbol of love and endurance. ...remarkably affordable and unbelievably gorgeous.”

– Janice G. from GA

After decades of gemological research–using techniques pioneered by Jons Jacob Berzelius–brilliant jewelers finally synthesized and cut this rare mineral from the stars. They perfected the science of romance. There is only a single laboratory in the United States that has the rights and ability to create this scarce treasure. But the process is not fast. It’s not cheap. And global production is limited to the efforts of a small group of scientists and craftsmen who have patented rights to this one-of-kind process.

“110% conflict-free and infinitely beautiful.”

– Megan G. from MO “It’s brilliance is beyond words.”

– Nancy H. from OH

In fact, there is so little Berzelian in the world that it is over 10,000 times scarcer than diamonds.

Island flower becomes immortal Carved from a single piece of mother of pearl, the iridescent hibiscus flower evokes images of Hawaiian sunny skies and sandy beaches. While wearing this creamy white Hibiscus set, remember to impart good feelings to others wherever you may travel in the Aloha Spirit. The Mother of Pearl Hibiscus Pendant measures approximately 1” and hangs from an 18” sterling silver chain with 2” extender. Three lab-created DiamondAura® form the flower’s center (1/5 ctw). The omega clip and post sterling silver earrings measure approximately ¾” and sparkle with DiamondAura (⅜ ctw). The 1” sterling silver ring showcases 1/5 ctw of DiamondAura and completes the set.

This is what YES looks like

B.

A handful of carats, but what a fire. The optical characteristics of Berzelian create a blazing rainbow effect that just leaves a diamond looking dull and lifeless. The way the light dances inside the Berzelian is something to behold. In E. gemological terms, it’s double refractive and you have never seen anything quite so mesmerizing. The color and clarity are rivaled by only a handful of diamonds UNIQUE PROPERTIES COMPARISON that would sell for $15,000 a carat or more.

Can you forgive me? If you want to get it, you’re going to need something more extraordinary than expected. You need daring and different. You need Berzelian.

For the first time in history, gemologists have discovered a diamond improvement. We can give you a thousand reasons why Berzelian dazzles like it does. But the only thing that really matters is the way she looks at you. The right look says ‘YES’ over and over and over again. And that look doesn’t come from plain old diamonds.

The look of the Irish

A.

The Aran Islands sit in the mouth of Galway Bay, just off the west coast of Ireland. Close your eyes and you can picture their rolling green hills and rocky, wave-battered cliffs. But you can’t imagine the wind. It hits you from all sides, assaulting with the icy sting of the North Atlantic. A tourist like me can hide indoors, but if you’re a local fisherman who makes a living on the water, that frigid wet wind is a fact of life. It doesn’t take long to learn the value of dressing appropriately.

I knew that to find any sweater worthy of a spot in the Stauer catalog, I’d have to make the trip to Ireland. Traditional Aran wool sweaters are world famous for a reason. Also known as “fisherman’s jumpers,” these impeccably-crafted, handmade sweaters keep you warm and dry in the worst kinds of weather. According to legend, the first sweaters were knitted by the wives of fishermen. And the Irish stitch patterns were more than decorative: the honeycomb represented the hardworking bee, the cable was a wish for safety, the diamonds a wish for success and wealth, and the basket stitch represented the hope for a plentiful catch.

You can choose from our long-sleeve sweater (with round crew neckline) or the 3-button vest. Both are made in Ireland from 100% genuine Merino, known as the finest and softest wool on the planet. Dry clean or hand wash only.

Wear a genuine Morgan Silver Dollar layered in 14K gold!

These earrings hear everything

A.

In the midst of dinner and lively conversation, a trusted advisor leans close into the ear of Queen Elizabeth I. C. He speaks and she nods quietly. Is it news of a secret plot or plans for a midnight rendezvous? Nobody knows for sure, save the aide, the Queen and her majesty’s earrings. Earrings hear everything. They hear the soft whispers of sweet nothings. Tender moments. Passionate confessions. It’s a good thing they can’t talk. But we like to imagine what they would say if they could.

B. You can rest assured that our 2 ½" Ruby & Aquamarine Drop Earrings aren’t saying a word. Crafted in the style and spirit of elegant, Tudor-era jewelry, this pair of chandelier-style earrings looks borrowed from the velvet-lined display of a museum.

Even though these ruby and aquamarine beauties look like they belong in royal portraits from the 17th century, they still feel modern. Skilled setters position 2 genuine 15-carat emerald-cut enhanced rubies with oval and teardrop cabochons of aquamarine into rustic settings fused with 14K yellow gold. Extra-long French hooks clasp into place to ensure that the vintage-inspired beauties stay put.

Complete Set includes Mesh Chain, Pendant and Earrings.

The official color of passion The Ancient Greeks and Romans prized red coral for its ability to protect against evil and misfortune. But what protected them against the seductive powers of the sultry red gem?

Our Fire Coral Pendant is a ridiculously red E. cabochon of sponge coral, polished to a high gloss. We call this the official color of passion.

This is the red that every other red secretly wants to be. It smacks of wet lipstick and F. smoldering coals. This is the kind of color that gets you into trouble.

We turned up the heat even more by framing the 60-carat coral teardrop in a beaded sterling setting, handcrafted by the master silversmiths of Bali. Complete the look by adding the necklace, which features 100 carats of smooth, polished red coral beads. The strand secures with a unique sterling clasp that glitters like a treasure of antiquity thanks to elegant beadwork and the added sparkle of marcasite. You can complete the set with a pair of matching earrings, each featuring a 10-carat dollop of romantic color from a sterling silver French hook. Red hot has never looked cooler.

New Styles! The bag that can keep a secret

Steel the spotlight

A.

A funny thing happens to steel when you add a little sweetness and sparkle. Suddenly it seems softer. More luxurious. Normally, it’s considered a tough guy metal that conjures macho images of molten orange, sparks, and anvils. Skyscrapers, tow cables and suspension bridges. But in this stunning Corda Bracelet, the manly metal 25 brilliant has clearly embraced its feminine side. cut, lab-created Once they realized that polished steel DiamondAura® could look as sultry as sterling silver, under $60 high-end jewelers were quick to get on board. They paired it with precious stones and extravagantly expensive accents. Today you can see it shimmer on the wrists of the world’s most celebrated beauties. Steel has stolen the spotlight.

You may not have realized it before this very moment, but your handbag lives a double life. All handbags, in fact, since the first simple coin purses were carried through ancient streets, have displayed multiple personalities. That’s because handbags have always served two purposes. They conceal. And they reveal. Of course, we can guess at the things they hide, the everyday essentials like cell phones, cosmetics, and keys. But what they divulge openly is so much more interesting.

Because every handbag sends a message.

D. Our Stauer Leather Revelatta keeps all your possessions secure, while still managing to tell the world the right things about you. Its goldtoned accents and smooth clean lines, say that you’ve got an impeccable sense of style.

Its sturdy but supple genuine leather construction and large full-zip top opening say you appreciate the classics. And if you’re hoping it’ll say something about your intelligence, we’ve got you covered there too...because this bag does the same job of carrying your classified contents as similar-looking “luxury” brands that can cost as much as $8,000—it just does it while declaring you’re too smart to spend too much.

Designers and fashionistas praise its strength and flexibility. But you’ll just love how the Corda DiamondAura® & Steel Bracelet looks. The unique clasping cuff features three ropes of twisted, stainless steel wire capped with a 14K gold-fused sterling silver centerpiece set with lab-created DiamondAura rounds. It’s fancier than a bangle and more flexible than a traditional cuff with two gold-fused end caps that fasten with a large lobster clasp. Make way for the “Woman of Steel.”

You can be a genius. It’s easier than you think. Just listen to Ovid.

The works of Ancient Rome’s most celebrated love poet are full of sage advice that hasn’t aged a day. And it works immediately. Want to double your “romantic IQ” right now? All you need are these stunning Matrimony Marquise Rings and Ovid’s all-powerful magic word.

What to say and when to say it. More than 2,000 years ago, Ovid declared himself the “Professor of Love.” All of Rome was his classroom. His lesson couldn’t be simpler. Show up with a gift in hand and say...“Surprise!” That’s the magic word: surprise. According to Ovid, “A man who can say that has genius.” Easy enough, right? But what happens when you say it twice?

B.

Double your carats for half-price. When it came to gifts, Ovid was a fan of excess. Two is always better than one. That’s why you can get both Matrimony Marquise Rings for only $149! That’s two remarkable rings for one ridiculous price! The Love Professor would approve.

Smart couple. At the center you’ll find a stunning 3-carat, lab-created DiamondAura® marquise set in .925 sterling silver. The cut dazzles with more fire than a mined diamond and is buffeted by a carat of DiamondAura baguettes and brilliant-cut rounds. The slimmer, sterling anniversary band blazes with 11 prong-set DiamondAura and fits snugly on top of the larger ring. You get the luxurious look of natural diamonds without the outrageous cost.

HOW TO ORDER

The only cookware that deserves to be in a jewelry catalog!

Congratulations. You are about to buy your last skillet—ever! The makers of DiamondPlus™ have found a way to turn the hardest substance on Earth into the world’s finest non-stick cooking surface. The same precious gemstone forged over millions of years in the pressure and heat underground is now a gourmet superstar. The geniuses behind DiamondPlus have taken those legendary diamonds out of the fire...and put them into your frying pan!

It starts with the heat. The DiamondPlus skillet heats up more quickly and evenly without hot spots. Hot spots don’t only ruin dinner, they can cause permanent damage to your pan. Ordinary non-stick surfaces can’t handle high cooking temperatures and buckle under the stress. DiamondPlus pans are safe up to 500ºF and guaranteed not to warp.

Effortless cooking and cleaning. DiamondPlus reinforces the surface of every pan using an advanced, German-engineered process using robotics and nano-technology. The application forms a virtually indestructible surface that is guaranteed not to crack, blister, bubble or peel. And because it conducts heat so uniformly, you can sear, brown, steam, stir-fry and sauté evenly and quickly.

Clean-up is just a wipe away!

Use your metal spatula without worry. While you wouldn’t dare use metal utensils on some “non-stick” pans, diamond is the hardest, most durable non-stick surface in the world. We’re so confident in the toughness of DiamondPlus cookware that we offer a LIFETIME guarantee.

Sapphire-spangled banner A.

When it comes to symbols that stir the heart, you can’t beat the American flag. The feeling you get watching one hoisted up against a B. clear blue sky? That’s just proof that our Founding Fathers had the right idea.

And when it comes to reimagining the red, white and blue...it’s hard to improve on perfection. But we asked our designer to return to the workbench and make our grand old flag even grander. The result is an eye-catching pin that blends precious gems and patriotism for a fashion statement that never goes out of style.

Our spectacular Sapphire & DiamondAura® Patriot Pin showcases a luxurious new look for Old Glory. The American flag is captured in gold-fused sterling silver, with hand-enameled red stripes that unfurl with the elegant flow of the “fabric.” You can almost hear the material snapping in the brisk wind. The crowning achievement is a sparkling field of stars, composed of genuine, round-cut blue sapphires (½ ctw) and brilliant, lab-created DiamondAura. Added details include the intricate braided rope and polished flagpole, topped with a smooth sapphire cabochon. An exquisite piece that shows “every heart beats true, beneath the red, white and blue.”

New! How to make the final cut In my house, “dull” was a four-letter word. Dad had only one rule when it came to knives: Sharp knives are safe knives. He personally made sure that every blade in our house backed him up. From the steak knives in the kitchen to the blades on our old push mower, if it was meant to cut, he kept it sharp as a razor. Any steel that lost its edge was sent to his workbench, a mysterious corner of the basement equipped with honing steel and whetstones. His personal blades always stayed the sharpest. And the Stauer Carraca Lockback Knife would have found a place of honor right in my old man’s front pocket.

New! Make an executive decision In my office, behind closed doors, the truly important decisions are made with a coin flip. And I always call tails. When to buy, what to sell, where to go next…it all comes down to a toss. I’ll be honest, no matter how the coin falls, more often than not, things usually turn out just fine for me. That’s why I’m a big believer in leaving certain things up to fate. You’ve got to give yourself over to chance once in a while. And if you do, I bet you’ll find that you like the way it feels. I created the Stauer Executive Wallet with that idea in mind.

The Carraca’s 3 ½" body is composed of sturdy pakka wood, a natural composite of layered hardwood fused with thermosetting resins that renders it impervious to moisture and weather. The drop-point blade is crafted using only the finest grade, meticulously-honed steel for a razor-sharp edge that’ll last. This compact cutting tool features elegant details you’d expect to see only in much more expensive pocketknives. A stylish, scalloped design runs along the back of the blade and through the center of the handle. And each pakka wood pattern will be unique, making your Carraca Lockback Knife a one-of-a-kind work of art. Sturdy and sharp enough to impress the most demanding knife collectors.

Stylish enough to make the final cut.

I imagine more than a few presidents have made decisions with a coin flip as well. So here I’ve included the reverse of one of the most collectible coins of all time, the 90% silver John F. Kennedy Half Dollar, which displays the Seal of the President of the United States in gleaming detail. The seal has been an enduring symbol of our nation since World War II and features the iconic bald eagle grasping arrows and an olive branch, the symbols of war and peace. Above floats a banner reading “E Pluribus Unum,” and fifty stars representing each state circle the crest. The handsome design came from the same master engraver who sculpted the reverse for the Lincoln penny. Here it sits on permanent display in genuine black leather, embossed with a classic woven pattern. Good luck is always as close as your back pocket.

Stauer Select Collection

New! From the land of blue ice New! Nothing but flowers Nobody captured the beauty of yellow better than Vincent van Gogh. But that didn’t stop us from trying. The shimmering, sunshine hues of our Sunflower Diamond Ring were inspired by the iconic flower paintings of the Dutch master.

While van Gogh preferred to work his oil paints into thick swirls of bold color, our designers composed this band with a simple palette of yellow and white natural diamonds (a full carat’s worth) set in 14K yellow gold. Each round gemstone is set sideby-side into the gleaming precious metal.

A.

Nineteenth-century breakthroughs in pigment composition helped van Gogh’s sunflowers pop, specifically his use of chrome yellow. The striking color was mixed using lead chromate, a crystalline ingredient with millions of tiny prisms. The rare yellow diamonds in this ring also have a storied crystalline past, owing their unique color to microscopic traces of nitrogen in the molecular structure. It’s hard to believe that a rogue atom or two is the cause of such astounding beauty, but who are we to argue with proven science?

It’s an interesting fact you can tell your friends. Of course, they’ll be too distracted by your ring to hear a word you’re saying.

2,500-year-old rope trick

14K gold hand-made triple rope design B.

Maybe you’ve heard the Tibetan myth about a great king who descends on a C. “sky rope” from heaven. He came to find a queen and remained on Earth until their son learned to ride a horse. Then he returned up the rope into heaven. This cycle was repeated for seven generations until the king accidentally cut the rope during a duel. The king was defeated, the slack of the heavenly rope fell to the ground and mortal man took control of the Tibetan dynasties. End of story, right? Not quite. There’s more.

What you won’t find in the ancient texts is a prophecy that this fantastic story would one day catch the attention of a jeweler.

You won’t find any mention of a goldsmith handcrafting a collection of solid 14K gold rope jewelery. There are no dusty books with sketches of this exceptional pendant. No record of a centuries-old, symbolic arrangement of interlocked ropes, loops and beadwork set inside of an infinitely perfect golden circle.

Nothing about the 18" twisted 14K gold chain or the matching, post-back drop earrings. You won’t find this necklace in the history books because it’s time is now. Yes, the Mandala Necklace and Earrings may look inspired by a 2,500-year-old rope trick, but trust us... this is a thoroughly modern masterpiece.

There are places in Iceland where the ice covers as far as the eye can see. Vast stretches of white mountains poke above the surface and hide massive undersides. You can drive by the Jökulsárlón glacial lagoon and see them for yourself. Luminous blue glaciers rising from the water like a transparent skyline. And when the right light hits, wonderful things happen. You can see the similarities between this natural wonder and our beautifully crafted Glacial Blue Diamond Ring. Its wide, 10K white gold setting glistens like the electric blue reflections of the Iceland sun off the lake.

Natural blue diamonds are incredibly rare. Finding them in nature is like hitting the colored diamond jackpot. So instead, we rely on the genius of gem artists. Thanks to some impossibly expensive equipment and a master’s knowledge of the hardest substance on Earth, we’ve coaxed out the resplendent blues in these natural diamonds. The result is an ice floe like no one has ever seen. Orderly rows of bold blue diamonds, 89 brilliant-cut beauties individually set in a grid to collect every ray of passing light and send them careening through every stone’s internal “hall of mirrors.” Adding to the spectral symphony are 42 single-cut white diamonds bordering the setting. With a total 2-1/3 carats on hand, even the subtlest twist of the ring triggers a chain reaction of brilliant fire. Ice ages come around only so often. The Glacier Blue Diamond Ring’s time is now.

The luxury of right now Can you help us spread the word? We’re tired of people saying that the best is yet to come. On the one hand, that seems optimistic. But on the other hand, it ignores the greatness of the here and now. So let’s say it together: “These are my golden years!”

That term shouldn’t be reserved for retirement. It’s like everyone is waiting for an idyllic time in the future. Some day you’ll take it easy. Some day you’ll treat yourself to the finer things. One day you’ll have all the time in the world. But why not now? The Stauer Ahora 14K Gold and Diamond Watch represents the most precious time in your life: right now. The present. This moment.

So wear it proudly.

We crafted this watch to be a delicate symbol, a gentle reminder of all the moments happening now that deserve your attention.

Completely fashioned in glistening 14K yellow gold, with a linked band that feels as soft as silk, this watch glows with a warmth you won’t believe. The lustrous Mother of Pearl face flickers and shines with light below the sapphire crystal, while the glimmering hands gracefully indicate the time at each golden hour mark. At twelve and six, classic Roman numerals stand out boldly. But the boldest part of this timepiece is certainly the halo of 28 brilliant round-cut natural white diamonds that shimmers along the bezel. Nothing says, “Carpe Diem” like diamonds. Slip this watch on your wrist and retire the attitude that you have to hold off on enjoying life!

Thank heaven for Mr. Blue

A.

B.

The best blue diamonds in the world are invisible. Most of us will never see them. Even when they make it to the international auctions, they don’t last long. I’ve seen it a dozen times. Once a brilliant blue hits the block, some serious guy in a dark suit answers his cell phone and the diamond just disappears. Do an internet search for “famous blue diamonds.” Every one of the top ten are either locked away in a museum vault or in the possession of a mysterious billionaire. It didn’t seem fair. So I called my good friend in Belgium. We’ll call him Mr. Blue.

Despite his sad-sounding name, he had nothing but good news.

And as you know by now, good news for me is great news for you.

Mr. Blue came through in a big way. This Belgian Blue Diamond Ring wouldn’t exist without him. Thanks to an exceptional deal on a cache of beautiful, brilliant-cut blue diamonds, I’m proud to offer this 1-carat, 14-stone work of art. Each blue diamond round is prong-set in gleaming, 14K white gold. One pair of larger stones sits higher in the setting, flanked by expertly-set groups of six.

Colored diamonds are coveted for a reason. Nothing shines quite like the facets of a genuine diamond seen through the shade of such heavenly hue. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to experience the magic up close. Though the soothing color will last a lifetime, the chance to wear this magnificent ring is fading fast!

New! How one man traded $5 for a million-dollar masterpiece Some guys have all the luck. Take the man who stopped at a Los Angeles garage sale. He liked the look of a painting he found wrapped in a blanket and bought it for $5. Maybe he thought it would look good over his couch. Maybe he just liked pictures of fruit. But there was no way he could know that the National Gallery would pay him $1 million for it.

Today Stauer saves you a trip to the garage with an unbelievable offer on the world’s most luxurious timepiece movement. The crowning achievement for any luxury watch company is the tourbillon—French for “whirlwind.” Only a handful of the world’s finest watchmakers can make a tourbillon—most don’t even try.

The movement was invented in 1801 to prevent gravity from affecting the accuracy of early pocket watches. In the process of solving a problem, legendary watchmaker AbrahamLouis created a masterpiece that remains one of the rarest and most sought-after watch complications of all time.

Our 17-Jewel Stauer Bravura Tourbillon features an exquisite antique ivory face with bold blue Roman numerals and a 24-hour complication at the 9 o’clock posi54 1-800-806-1484

tion. The balance wheel and the escapement are encased in a rotating cage, visible through a showcase window at 6 o’clock. The transparent case back is protected by an exhibition crystal and offers a remarkable view into the 250-part, 17-jewel movement. The rare luxury movement and vintage-inspired face are both protected by a gold-toned, coin-edged stainless steel case. The Stauer Bravura Tourbillon secures with a genuine crocodile band and deployant clasp and is water-resistant to 3 ATM. This is the lowest price that Stauer has ever offered the coveted tourbillon movement. Don’t miss this exceptional opportunity to add a tourbillon to your collection for less than $800. Many manual-winding tourbillon timepieces on the market today are priced at $100,000 or more. If you truly seek the ingenious and exotic, the Stauer Bravura belongs on your wrist. Fits wrists 7 ¾"-9 ¾ ".

The South Pacific islanders are among the happiest people on Earth, but their secret formula for fulfillment isn’t for sale. Not exactly. If you want to live as carefree as the Balinese, you need to embrace a lifestyle of artistic expression, spiritual devotion and harmony with nature.

Our Bali Serenity Collection showcases the island’s remarkable talent in four pieces that beautifully combine .925 sterling silver, 18K gold, blue topaz and the heavenly luster of saltwater mabe pearls. The pearl is the focus of every piece (mabes are cultured “half pearls” that grow against the inside of the shell, giving them a flat side) and each is surrounded by a flourish of sterling silver granulation, 18K gold ropework and a quartet of dazzling, brilliant-cut blue topaz rounds. Individually and together, the exceptional works of art in this collection transform exotic Bali beauty into pure bliss!

The stone that started it all

More bad news for the filthy rich

The Ancient Greeks knew how to rock. You want proof? Just look at what they left behind. Not only is the beauty of their creations still evident in the ruins of their temples and sculptures, but archeological digs in Ancient Greece have also unearthed what may be the oldest mineral used as a gemstone… chalcedony.

We’ve lowered the gold standard. It’s true, while the price of gold has blown through the roof, Stauer is the only company bold enough to cut the price.

But that’s not all. The Duchess of F. Windsor once famously opined that a woman could never be too rich or too thin. And might we add that the 14K gold necklace she wears can never be too rich or too divinely, delightfully weightless! Intricately interwoven G. Byzantine links lend our braided necklace its mesmerizing texture, but it’s the ethereal weight of its gold that makes it different from all the others in your jewelry box. Not only does that notable enhancement make it incredibly comfortable to wear, it also affords each and every link a litheness and suppleness seldom seen in heavier gold chains. The bracelet measures 7 ½" and the necklace measures 20". Each is available separately, but when you keep this gorgeous couple together, you instantly save $795! Wearing genuine 14K gold and keeping change in your pocket? That’s the true definition of luxury.

Dating from as far back as 10,000 B.C., it could be said that scientists uncovered the origins of luxury. And it seems especially fitting that Stauropolis, the city from which Stauer gets its name, was located just a stone’s throw away. Stauropolis (in what is now modern-day Turkey) was once named Aphrodisias in honor of the goddess of love and was considered a haven for sculptors, poets, philosophers, and anyone else who knew how to enjoy the finer things in life… which surely included chalcedony.

E.

Our 24” Aphrodisias Pink Chalcedony Necklace is a parade of smooth chalcedony nuggets that display a hue as soft and beautiful as the petals of a pink rose. To get the full experience of wearing a gem almost as old as time itself, you need more. So combine the soothingly sweet color of the necklace with a matching bracelet and elegant earrings.

The elegant gold-on-midnight palette and two-tone stainless link bracelet gives this tough watch a sophisticated look. But the Biosphere is no fashion plate. It’s a luxury watch that isn’t afraid to get its hands dirty. It’s water-resistant down to 660 feet or 20 atmospheres, a feat facilitated by a hardened sapphire crystal and screw-down back. And luminous hands and markers afford clearer visibility in low-light surroundings—perfect for wreck-diving off the coast of Spain or dining after dark in Paris. Fits wrists 7” to 8 ¾”.

Exquisite Byzantine Design in 14K Gold

Science has found a way to build a better emerald. A jewel as vivid as you’ve ever seen with flashes of gorgeous green that usually only show up around spring. Even then, only in the most remote parts of the Brazilian rainforest.

J. It’s true. The mineral composition, heat and pressure of Scienza™ are all controlled in the laboratory, so the scientifically-grown emeralds have more luster and brilliance than most mined stones. Scienza emeralds are identical to the natural gem in every way: color, sparkle, hardness, and composition. The one big difference is price. Our Verde Ring features a stunning 4-carat Scienza lab-created emerald centerpiece. The emerald-cut lab stone is set in the finest platinum-layered, .925 sterling silver. Both shoulders absolutely sparkle with a dozen lab-created DiamondAura® baguettes and 30 brilliant DiamondAura rounds. Each row of scientifically-grown white stones is lined with exquisite silverwork that only enhances the ring’s overall brilliance. Mother Nature has never been more envious!

Pharaoh’s treasure found on desert island The legend of peridot began on a remote volB. canic island called Zagbargad, located about 50 miles from the coast in the Red Sea. The island hid a rich supply of the vivid green gem. And once that gorgeous green glint caught the eye of Ancient Egypt’s pharaohs, the little island would never be the same.

It’s easy to see why Egypt’s most powerful rulers and royalty were seduced by the green C. stone. Peridot is a rarity among gemstones because it occurs in only one color–a rich, verdant green that people historically mistook to be emerald. In fact, Cleopatra’s beloved “emeralds” were more likely peridot, mined from the mysterious Isle of the Serpents.

Our Peridot Sunburst Collection captures that radiant color in an elegant corsage of marquise-cut peridot, set in gleaming sterling silver. We’ve arranged all 18 gems in a blossom of fiery facets that deliver a dramatic light show, even indoors.

oday if you want to learn about gemstones, you ask a jeweler or geologist. But back in the 16th century, Italians went to see the doctor. Respected men of science and medicine believed that precious stones did more than just make you look stunning. In 1502, Camillus Leonardus, M.D. published his Speculum Lapidum (Mirror of Stones) about the mystical and spiritual properties of gemstones. One of the superstars of that volume? The passionate, deep-red garnet.

Garnet was considered divine and adored by the Greeks and Romans.

In Bohemia, Czech craftsmen transformed it into timeless treasures. Our own luxurious 26" rope of enhanced garnet beads was ready for its close-up. But after reading deeper into the classic treatise by Leonardus, we were inspired to give garnets the big deal they deserved.

After all, if a stone has been said to “dissipate sadness, avert evil thoughts, exhilarate the soul and foretell misfortune,” it begs for something special.

If you learn one thing from the finest museums in the world, it’s that art was made for the eyes. Look all you want, but keep your distance. If you suddenly have the urge to feel the art? Too bad. Touching is strictly forbidden. And the odds that any museum would let you actually wrap yourself up in a masterpiece? Less than zero. Until now...

Our friends at the Metropolitan Museum of Art have found a way to take their art out of the gallery and put it into your closet. They have secured the exclusive rights to reprint the famous works of Monet and Louis Comfort Tiffany onto spectacular, 100% silk chiffon scarves. The ultimate art-lover’s accessory, each 64-inch scarf complements your outfits and sparks conversation wherever you go.

Nothing flows or feels like silk chiffon and nothing captivates like the work of two of history’s most important artists. Monet’s “Bridge and Water Lilies” was among the 250 paintings he created at his garden in Giverny. And Louis Comfort Tiffany’s “Magnolia and Irises” favrile window stands as one of the most beautiful examples of the glassmaker’s work. A brand new way to get wrapped up in art!

Researchers used advanced digital photo technology to capture a high-resolution image of the masterpiece. Then they virtually adjusted the picture and returned Da Vinci’s beauty to her original splendor. It was discovered that the crisp blue sky behind Mona was painted with lapis lazuli pigment.

My fellow Americans...

The Stauer Executive Half-Dollar Watch lets you keep time with the coin that made history

T C.

his is an American love story. But not the kind that starts with a boy and a girl. In this love story, there’s just a man and his country. I’m the kind of guy that can’t help but feel patriotic all year round. On Memorial Day with flags waving proudly. When the fireworks are booming on the Fourth of July. Or just making the most of my freedom by enjoying a lazy afternoon ballgame. No matter where or when I’m feeling proud to be an American, I like to wear my patriotism right on my sleeve, or at least on my wrist.

We got our inspiration for this truly American timepiece straight from the top. In 1964, the first John F. Kennedy Silver Half Dollars were minted. The 90% silver coin was the last silver half-dollar struck by the U.S. Mint, largely because the coins were so unbelievably popular. Although millions were struck, few went into circulation because collectors so quickly snatched them up.

The popularity of the coin was due in large part to its spectacular design. The obverse showed a handsome portrait of President Kennedy, and the reverse displayed a gleaming design of the Seal of the President of the United States.

The seal has been an enduring symbol of our nation since World War II and features the iconic bald eagle grasping arrows and an olive branch, the symbols of war and peace. Above floats a banner reading “E Pluribus Unum,” and fifty stars representing each state circle the crest. This same design had been personally selected by President Kennedy for his inaugural medal and was the ideal reverse for this handsome coin (the master engraver who sculpted it was the same artist who created the reverse design for the Lincoln penny).

Watchmakers transformed this iconic coin into a unique and striking timepiece. Expertly set inside an alloy case, the coin’s reverse acts as the dial. Three blued hands, driven by the precision quartz movement, mark the time behind a disc of tough, Cotswold™ crystal. The watch secures with a genuine black leather band. Whether you’re a coin collector, a history buff, or just a true-blue American, this watch will always be a reminder of why you’re proud to call America home. Fits wrist 6 ¾"–8 ½".

I’ll take mine black…no sugar In the early 1930s, watch manufacturers took a clue from Henry Ford’s favorite quote, “You can have any color as long as it is black.” Black-dialed watches particularly became the rage with pilots and race drivers. And since the black dial impeccably complemented a black tuxD. edo, the adventurer’s black-dial watch easily seguéd from the cockpit to the Cotton Club®. Now Stauer brings back the Noire, a design based on an elegant timepiece built in 1936. Black-dialed, complex automatics from the 1930s have recently hit new highs at auction. One sold in excess of $600,000.

We thought that you might like to have a version that would be a lot more accurate and affordable than the original.

Not only are the dial, hands and face vintage-inspired, but we used a 27-jeweled automatic movement. This is the kind of engineering desired by fine watch collectors worldwide. But since we made this classic movement on state-of-the-art, computer-controlled Swiss-built machines, the accuracy is beyond reproach. Three interior dials display day, month and date and the movement carries an extended two-year warranty. Sit back in your limousine, sip some coffee and rest assured you have some fabulous time on your hands. Fits wrists 6 ½” to 9”.

You always knew her as the shy one. She only spoke when spoken to and, even then, F. only in a whisper. She was the understudy of her own life, waiting offstage for her chance to step into the spotlight. But when you ran into her years later, she was hosting an awards ceremony. She commanded the room from a podium in front of hundreds of distinguished guests. She was a changed woman. Confident. Captivating. Her transformation was complete. But what was her secret?

It may well have been the agate necklace she was wearing. After all, there’s an ancient belief that red agate (or carnelian) has the power to cure a weak voice and timid speech. A famous 13th-century text prescribes the stone for actors and public speakers. While the agate might have been what gave her courage, it was certainly what helped her look stunning.

Our Daria Necklace is loaded with 100 carats of bold, Brazilian red agate. The glistening red beads are set between 14K gold-layered spacers. The 16" strand secures with a 14K gold-layered lobster clasp and includes a 2" extender. Add the matching 10-carat drop earrings and the complete collection speaks for itself.

Flights of fancy One of Mother Nature’s most radiant reds is found on one of her smallest creations. The ruby-throated hummingbird is a surprisingly tiny little beauty, averaging only about three inches in length and weighing about as much as 1 ½ pennies. But this hummingbird has some more impressive stats as well. They can beat their wings 53 times a second, fly upside down and backwards, and hover in mid-air. And each fall they make an amazing non-stop 500-mile migration that scientists thought for years would be impossible for such small birds. On top of it all, they display shimmering, fiery red plumage around the throat, in a color that might only be rivaled by the resplendent red of the enhanced natural rubies in our Aviar Natural Ruby Ring.

G.

Taking a cue from those gloriously-graceful aerial acrobats, we crafted the Aviar with a hint of winged inspiration. Each of the faceted, marquise-cut ruby “feathers” is set in a spectacular swooping design that not only allows the color of the rubies to soar, but puts the rose-gold layered sterling-silver setting on display. It feels as though this piece might fly away, but we promise that once it lands on her finger, it’s not going anywhere!

Each genuine Swiss-made timepiece is like a brush stroke of brilliant gemstone color on your wrist. We drew from a palette inspired by precious gemstones. The gold-toned stainless steel case is topped with a Cotswold™ mineral crystal with a colored bezel. Inside, the tinted guilloche-style dial sparkles with Austriancrystal accents and a date window at the 6 o’clock spot. And naturally, the genuine leather strap is perfectly color coordinated to match each face.

ou can go for a stroll in the rain or see the sunset from the Eiffel tower. Linger after a breakfast at the Café du Marche to do some people watching, or cruise the Seine. No matter what you do, you’re bound to fall in love in Paris—with the city and whoever you’re with. And she’s bound to fall in love with what the French are wearing... especially these Made-in-Paris pieces from the Lutetia Parisian Collection.

The more Paris changes, the more it stays the same.

We wouldn’t have it any other way. Paris is one of the few places on the planet that always lives up to expectations. Even as it entered the modern era, it’s held on to all that made it grand for centuries.

Self-expression is second nature to the French. And that creative freedom and dedication to quality has put their designers in a class by themselves. This collection captures all of the sumptuous, European luxury that French jewelers are famous for, but at a price that will leave you saying “au revoir” to overspending for elegance.

Our Lutetia Parisian Necklace is a parade of smooth loops and hand-hammered links (each delicately dipped in 24K gold), alternating with lustrous, white baubles. The striking 36" strand secures with a decorative, 24K gold-dipped toggle clasp. Each of the companion earrings glows like a street lamp along the Champs-Elysses, with its single gleaming white sphere wrapped in a 24K gold-dipped cage. So whether you’ve been to Paris and dream of going back, or have yet to visit and yearn to go, just slip into this necklace and you’re more than halfway there!

he story behind our biggest-ever canary DiamondAura® starts in South Africa. In 2010, miners discovered the massive yellow stone that would eclipse every citrus-colored diamond that came before. After more than a billion years underground, this blonde bombshell was ready to rock the gem world. But pulling it from the Earth was only the beginning.

Expert gem-cutters took six months cutting the stone to perfect the symmetry of every single facet. Once it came to auction in Geneva, the 110-carat gem was quickly snatched up by a collector for an incredible $10.9 million. Whenever a stone of that size and rarity enters the market, it invariably ends up in the private collections of the richest and most powerful people in the world. But today, everybody can go home a winner with the spectacular 54-carat Solé DiamondAura® Ring.

Your ring is artfully crafted using our exclusive, lab-created DiamondAura, offering the same rich hue of rare, fancy yellow diamonds for a fraction of the cost. Designers worked for months to get the setting and weight perfect. The centerpiece of the Solé balances

Renew your wows

How to say “I love you” in ancient Greek Hidden deep inside a library in Oxford, England, those who know where to look will find a small papyrus manuscript. This prized and ancient paper, dating back to the 6th century B.C., contains fragments of poetry

by Sappho, the Ancient Greek lyric poetess. Many consider her to be the world’s first—and finest—writer of love poetry.

If the idea of Sappho’s words surviving the millennia pulls your heartstrings, then our Eos Blue Chalcedony Collection will sound like a symphony.

D. B

These brilliant blue gemstones have formed slowly through the ages, from before Sappho put ancient ink to papyrus through to her exaltation as “the 10th muse.” These ancient stones have been faceted as carefully as Sappho crafted her words, and set in 14K gold-layered sterling silver so the brilliant blue shines like a line of her legendary love poetry. Whether you wear the 28” necklace with 94 carats of chalcedony, the enchanting earrings of two stones each or the singular ring with a solo stone, the message from our Eos Collection is loud and clear: It is impossible to silence the poetry of passion.

Marriage is not a wedding. Or a honeyE. moon. Or even a Golden Anniversary.

Marriage is a journey that you take one day at a time. It’s a road with ups, downs and plenty of curves along the way. We don’t always know what lies ahead, but we have plenty of ways to keep things interesting.

Learn to tango. Head south for the weekend. Or just take her breath away with a tiny box. We’ve definitely designed the DiamondAura® Dearly Beloved Set with matrimony in mind. The engagement ring captures the rush of romance with a dramatic lab-created DiamondAura centerpiece and the ornate shoulders are set with smaller, brilliant rounds. Set in an exquisitely-detailed sterling silver band, the brilliant, 2-carat round-cut sparkles with even more fire and clarity than a “D” flawless natural diamond. The loving couple is made complete with an equally stunning wedding band, lavished with channel-set, lab-created DiamondAura in an elegant band lush with vintage-inspired detail.

Whether you’re popping the question for the first time or celebrating a marital milestone, you’ve found the right happy couple.

Swiss bust Greek gold myth Once upon a time, the vast gold deposits of northern Europe were little more than a myth. Even the brightest minds of the Greek Empire didn’t know where the gold came from or how it was produced. All they knew for sure was that one-eyed mountain people stole it from the Griffins, fierce beasts with the body of a lion and the head and wings of an eagle. Creative, but not even close.

In the 5th century BC, Herodotus wrote, “The most outlying lands…are likely to have those things which we think are the finest and the rarest.” At least he was right about something. There’s no mystery about where we found the precious gold for this Alta Gold Ingot Watch. You can read for yourself that the stunning centerpiece of this unique watch comes straight from the legendary “outlying lands” of the snow-covered Swiss Alps.

F.

The Alta Gold Ingot Watch boasts a 1-gram ingot of 99.99% pure gold, issued by the world-famous Credit Suisse. Each features a unique serial number and sits at the center of a radiant, 14K rose gold-fused dial. The stainless-steel case is fused with rose gold and a rectangle of sturdy Cotswold™ Crystal protects the elegantly minimalist design. But the Ingot Watch is more than just a pretty face.

Inside, you get the luxury of legendary precision with a Swiss Ronda quartz movement. The Alta secures with a genuine leather band and is water-resistant to 3 ATMs. Of course, the best part is that you can enjoy this perfect pairing of Swiss gold and Swiss movement without having to face any mythological monsters.

Time to smell the roses

It sounds odd, but I never have any spare time when I visit Geneva. Between the business meetings, factory tours and more meetings, there’s barely time for me to breathe. If I want a break, I have to steal it. So during my last trip, I made a run for it after lunch. I turned off my cell phone. And then I went for a stroll along the lake to clear my head and forget about work.

But a stroll through the birthplace of the Swiss watch industry is a terrible place to try and forget about work. The cool breeze off Lake Geneva and the lush greenery of the Jardin Anglais (English Garden) were relaxing. Then I saw the Flower Clock. Planted in 1955, the working public clock has a breathtaking dial composed of more than 6,000 blooms, arranged in an elaborate design of eight concentric circles. Inspiration never sleeps.

Obviously fresh flowers wouldn’t last a minute on the wrist, so I decided to replace the gladiolas with gemstones. I borrowed the brilliant bouquet look for our Jardin Watch, which features a rose gold-fused oval case studded with 2 ctw-twinkling, lab-created DiamondAura®. The elongated mother-of-pearl face shimmers with iridescent color and features oversized Roman numeral indices at 12 and 6 o’clock. While the Geneva Floral Clock features the world’s largest second hand (over 8 feet long), it seemed more practical to fit the Jardin with a trio of much shorter blued hands.

A genuine sapphire crown and the rich burgundy leather strap add the final touches of luxury.

The fight of the century that ended without a punch We just weren’t sure these two would get along. In one corner, the undisputed heavyweight champ of precious stones, the King of Bling, the Great White Hope, the hardest substance on the planet Earth... diamonds. And our challenger, 1,000 times rarer than diamonds, mined in only one place on the planet and currently taking the jewelry world by storm...tanzanite. It was supposed to be the fight of the century, but it turns out that the both of them get along spectacularly. Lucky you.

It took nature millions of years to create both stones, but diamonds have been living it up in the spotlight for centuries.

Tanzanite was first introduced to the world in the late sixties and has been gaining popularity ever since.

Our Tanzanite & Diamond Ring features these two champions of the gem world together inside a stunning sterling silver setting.

Tucked in between pairs of prong-set tanzanite ovals, you’ll find a trio of brilliant-cut diamonds. The violet blue hues of the African stone flicker and dance across the diamond facets, setting off a fireworks display with every twist of the wrist. This is clearly a partnership with a surplus of style and substance. I just wish we had come up with the idea earlier.

Venice in bloom

Made in Italy

No matter how many times you’ve seen pictures from the city, or films that take place there, nothing can prepare you for Venice in the springtime. It absolutely sparkles with sunshine and bubbles with excitement. And there’s no better place to sit back and take in the sights and sounds of the city than Piazza San Marco. St. Mark’s Square is truly one of the great European urban spaces where you can still hear individual voices over the rush of traffic.

And it also happens to be where I got the idea for the Fiori, a genuine Italian Murano glass bangle watch that would feel right at home in Venice.

Inspired by the amazing 15th-century clocktower that rises over the square, we’re excited to offer the Fiori Bangle Watch. This horological beauty is adorned with incredible hand-made genuine Murano glass flowers that have been created in the age-old style called Millefiori (Italian for “one thousand flowers”). Using an extremely time-intensive process of heating, stretching, and cutting long delicate glass tubes, artisans crafted the beautiful blooms around the outside of the dial. But that’s not all the Fiori has to offer. Its face shimmers with luminous mother of pearl, and its gold-toned accents and tortoise shell pattern spring-hinged band add that extra element of style that only the Italians could conceive. It’s time to bring a bit of Venice to you!

Tortoise Frames with Polarized TriLenium™ Gold Lens

This story breaks my heart every time. Allegedly, just two years after the discovery of tanzanite in 1967, a Maasai tribesman knocked on the door of a gem cutter’s office in Nairobi. The Maasai brought along an enormous chunk of tanzanite and he was looking to sell. His asking price? Fifty dollars. But the gem cutter was suspicious and assumed that a stone so large could only be glass. The cutter told the tribesman, no thanks, and sent him on his way. Huge mistake. It turns out that the gem was genuine and could have produced a dazzling stone that would have dwarfed the world’s largest cut tanzanite at the time. That “chunk” could have been worth close to $3,000,000!

In the decades since its discovery, tanzanite has become one of the world’s most coveted gemstones. Found in only one remote place on Earth (in Tanzania’s Merelani Hills, in the shadow of Mount Kilimanjaro), the precious purple stone is 1000 times rarer than diamonds. Staying true to our contrarian nature, we’ve decided to lower the price of one of the world’s rarest and most popular gemstones.

Our 18" 2-Carat Sunburst Tanzanite Necklace features a pendant of marquise-cut gems set dramatically in sterling silver. Each facet sparkles with the distinct violet-blue hue of the precious stones. Behind the shine you’ll find that the exquisite silverwork of the setting calls to mind the detailed treasures being produced by Europe’s finest jewelers. This is a necklace designed to impress and it does not disappoint.

The bridge over the river time Imagine that moment of insight when someone first decided to cross a river by building a bridge. Today we call that engineering.

Back then it was called ingenuity. The patience and skill required to mastermind a construction like that is astounding. Since then, bridges have become truly massive (consider the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge in Japan—the longest suspension bridge in the world, at 12,826 feet). But through it all, a different breed of engineer has been crafting much smaller, more delicate, but just as impressive, bridges. These bridges still take us from here to there. But on them we travel through time. Need proof? Look no further than the Stauer Corbel Bridge Watch.

All mechanical watches contain at least one bridge. But not all mechanical watches have been arranged so distinctively to put those elements on full display. When we conceived the idea for the Corbel, that’s just what we decided to do. The first step was to re-orchestrate the complex system of gears and wheels to create a movement that would function linearly. Next we enclosed that impressive design in a sturdy stainless-steel case and housed the movement between two Cotswold™ Crystal windows, creating a see-through timepiece like nothing we’ve ever offered before.

Other luxury watchmakers offer similar-looking bridge watches, but you’ll pay a hefty toll to wear one (we found some that sell for as much as $29,000). But at less than $200, the Corbel proves that only Stauer has the power to bridge that gap between luxury and affordability.

Keep time marching on Much like our faithful four-legged friends, your favorite automatic watch is happiest when taken for a walk. A stroll in the park. A quick jog to the corner. The watch doesn’t care, so long as it’s moving. It’s the constant motion that keeps a self-winding mechanism working. Leave a watch sitting still for too long and time literally stops dead. Thankfully, we can spare you such tragedy.

The Stauer Select Winder is designed to keep your watches running in style. We figured the world has enough boring, black and bulky electronic devices, so we crafted the Stauer Select like an elegant piece of antique furniture. The box features a rich burlwood pattern, a hinged acrylic top and an ultra-soft beige vinyl interior to prevent scratching. The Stauer Select measures approximately 5 ½” square and includes a timer that automatically rotates your watch for one hour followed by three hours of rest. Also works great for “battery-less” quartz watches. AC adapter included.

B More than tough enough Every story my family told about Vincenzo was a cautionary tale.

They were thrilling and dangerous, but they always ended with someone telling me to “never EVER do what Vin did.” He was related to somebody on my mother’s side, but those details didn’t matter. All I cared about was his job on the Brooklyn Bridge. He climbed the towers and worked on the giant suspension cables.

He scrambled like a superhero hundreds of feet over the East River. He was fearless and remains the toughest man I’ve ever met. But even a guy like him would have a soft spot for this bracelet. The Vincenzo Bracelet is an accessory for the man who doesn’t fool around. Simple and rugged, the 8 ½” bracelet is forged from thick stainless-steel links that showcase a trio of twisted steel cable. It’s the kind of piece that looks like it came from a motorcycle mechanic’s workbench instead of a jeweler’s display case... which is just what Vin would have preferred.

ack in 1933, the single most important watch ever built was engineered for a quiet millionaire collector named Henry Graves. It took over three years and the most advanced horological techniques to create the multifunction masterpiece. Decades later, when the ultra-rare innovation was auctioned off, it sold for the record price of $11,030,000 to a secretive anonymous collector. It disappeared for years, hidden in a private vault. Currently, the F. watch is on display in a Geneva museum. But we believe that a classic like this should be available to true watch aficionados, so Stauer replicated the exact Graves design in the limited edition Stauer Graves ’33 Wristwatch.

The antique enameled face and Breguet hands are true to the original. But the real beauty of this watch is on the inside. We replicated an extremely complicated automatic movement with 27 jewels and seven hands. There are 210 individual parts that are assembled entirely by hand and then tested for over 15 days on Swiss calibrators to ensure accuracy. Each Stauer Graves ‘33 watch is then reinspected in the United States upon its arrival.

What makes rare watches rare? Business Week stated it best…

“It’s the complications that can have the biggest impact on price.” (July, 2003). The four interior complications on our Graves watch display the month, day and date, while the

24-hour clock graphically depicts the sun and the moon. The innovative engine for this timepiece is powered by the movement of the body as the automatic rotor winds the mainspring. It never needs batteries and never needs to be manually wound. The precision-crafted gears are “lubricated” by 27 rubies that give the hands a smooth sweeping movement. And the watch is tough enough to stay water resistant to 5 ATMs. The movement is covered by a 2-year warranty.

The 27 jewels and We’ve done the unthinkable. Not only 210 hand-assembled parts inside have we emulated this stunning watch of the drive this 1930s but, just as surprising, we’ve been able classic masterpiece to build this luxury timepiece for a spectacular price. Many fine 27-jewel automatics on the market today are priced well over $2,000 dollars, but you can enter the rarified world of fine watch collecting for under $150. You can now wear a millionaire’s watch but still keep your millions in your vest pocket. Fits wrists 6 ½" to 9".

The crush that never ended I bought it for my first crush with every dollar I had. I hoped it was enough. I wished it was more. But I was already dealing with the butterflies in my gut and the necklace would just have to do. It was a chain of tiny charms, a bit awkward-looking but sincere. My girl was thrilled, but it seemed that we were thrilled by everything back then.

I’m not sure whatever happened to the girl, but I missed the necklace. So when I found this spectacular update, it was love at first sight all over again. The Stauer Golden Charm Necklace is the perfect combination of simplicity and sophistication. We’ve loaded a distinctive, beaded 18" chain with seven golden roundel beads (two polished plain and five dappled with white, lab-created DiamondAura® rounds). Each glittering lab-created stone has been crafted to outsparkle even the most brilliant natural diamonds. And the flickering light adds a luxurious fire to the rich golden hue of the necklace. The necklace secures with a lobster clasp and an extra 2" extender.

At the turn of the 20th century, French jewelers grew tired of designing pieces that were simply settings for mesmerizing stones. Mother Nature became their muse. Daring Art Nouveau designers created ornaments as bold and captivating as the wonders of the natural world. One of their favorite subjects was the lively dragonfly who flits and dips in graceful arcs over sparkling pools in the fading sunlight.

Stauer’s Nouveau Dragonfly Brooch perfectly captures the artistic daring of this period. Our 14K gold-clad winged wonder boasts a 7mm cultured pearl atop its back and piercing green enamelled eyes. The golden wings flutter to life thanks to nearly 2 carats of brilliant white, lab-created DiamondAura®. A sturdy hinged pin on the underside ensures that your eye-catching companion never flies away.

The smartest watch on Wall Street Inspired by classic 1930s timepieces worn by the greatest financial minds of the 20th century Check the wrists of the sharpest guys in finance and you’re going to find a sensible watch, not a statement. When you spend thousands on a showpiece, that money doesn’t do anything. It doesn’t compound, it doesn’t earn interest. Maybe it gets you some attention. But the last time I checked, you can’t walk into a bank and trade compliments for cash.

Ask any man who knows about money. The last place you want to keep it is on your wrist. The brightest financial minds know that there is nothing to gain from showing off. They don’t invest in impressing strangers. The only reason they spend a dollar is to make two. Or, in the case of the Stauer Buttonwood Watch, they spend $59 to save the $17,851 expense of a luxury logo.

The Stauer Buttonwood takes its cue from the greatest financial minds of the 20th century. This looks like the watches that

Rockefeller, Morgan and Mellon would have worn. It’s a gentleman’s timepiece that blends simple elegance, superior functionality and fiscal responsibility. It projects a sophisticated look with a golden face and rose gold-layered, hobnail-patterned bezel and case. The dial is elegantly spare, ringed with classic black Roman numerals. A detailed crown and padded black leather band (with white accent stitching) add the final touches of class. Inside, the precision quartz movement vibrates over 32,000 times a second to keep you on schedule and on time...no matter where in the world your business takes you. When a combination of form and function like the Stauer Buttonwood comes along for under $60, it’s an insider tip worth sharing.

Kadir nodded and slipped into the back room. When he returned, he spread some stones on the table and I was elated. It was a collection of massive red beauties that were among the biggest rubies we had ever offered. Now it’s your turn to be impressed.

Our 50-carat Oval Ruby Pendant is a rare beauty. The exquisite sterling silver frame showcases the finest in handworked detail, C. including meticulous filigree and beadwork by the legendary silversmiths of Bali. The enhanced faceted ruby sits in the ornate oval and dangles from a decorative sterling bail. The wide, handcut facets flicker in the light, illuminating a piece that is already impossible to ignore. Complete the look with the addition of a traditional Tulang Naga chain. The thick, sterling silver rope measures 18" and secures with a toggle clasp.

Rock around the clock tonight S­ tanding in front of the guitar shop window was the greatest thrill and the worst kind of torture. As a kid, I never had the money to shell out for a mint-condition Gibson, Rickenbacker or Les Paul. After playing for what seemed like an eternity on dinged-up secondhanders, I finally got my first Fender Stratocaster. It was worth the wait. The guitar looked and felt like a masterpiece. That’s the thing about a classic guitar, the work of art is the piece you play...and the piece itself.

It’s no wonder then that this remarkable Stauer Guitar Watch instantly plucked at my heartstrings. One look at its voluptuous outline brought me right back to the glory days of rock-and-roll.

The unique shape immediately brings to mind those round-bottomed bodies of vintage electric guitars.

The eye-catching, ivory face features blue Roman numerals on the left of the dial and bold Arabic numbers on the right. Blued, Breguet-style hands keep time while additional complications mark the day, date and month. A date window sits at the 3 o’clock position. Inside, the 27-sapphire-jewel movement utilizes an automatic self-winding mechanism that never needs batteries.

Watch found deep behind enemy lines B.

My uncle taught me about war. He fought in Europe because it was “the right thing to do.” I remember his collection of WWII treasures was more thrilling than any museum. the photos, the patches and that banged-up helmet he said never fit.

Most of all, I remember “the watch.” It was a black-dialed pilot’s chronograph he picked up near Bremen. “It belonged to the bad guys,” he told me. I imagined he stormed an enemy compound to get it, but the truth was less dramatic. He traded a POW who wanted cigarettes more than a watch.

True to its military roots, the Dumont took shape in an orchestrated maneuver involving an army of our most experienced watchmakers.

Each watch took six months to construct, using over 200 parts, 40 jewels and an incredibly complex assembly. Peer through the exhibition back and you’ll understand why we can only offer this watch in a limited edition. We even added a power reserve indicator, a snap-back date display and a coin-edged steel case layered in rose gold. The Dumont is water-resistant to 3 ATMs and secures with a genuine black leather strap.

How a queen fell in love with a king of gems

It’s easy to see why civilizations throughout the ages have fallen in love with opals. Its pinfire D. flashes of iridescent pinks and greens on moonlight have mesmerized admirers since the begin2 ¾-Carat ning of time. Over the Genuine Opal! years, they came to symbolize such characteristics as hope, purity, prophesy, and foresight. The Romans called the opal the “King of Gems” since it contained all the hues of the rainbow in addition to the colors of other gems.

The night shift A.

I was wide awake when I dreamed up the design for the Stauer Minuit. It was the middle of the night at the top of the world. My wife and I were celebrating in a hotel in the Swiss Alps S w i s s m a d e overlooking Lake Lugano. The world was asleep and the stars seemed low enough to touch. I’ll never forget the view that night, an endless blue heaven speckled with stars. You don’t get to see that kind of sky in the big city.

C.

Much like the four-wheeled rally racers, this watch is built like a tank with a sports car engine. No wait, make that TWO sports car engines. Its massive 53mm case is crafted from a high-performance alloy and the stunning dial is customized with chrome-hued numerals and a shimmering copper stripe (to honor the red clay of the racecourse). Inside, the Rally Watch keeps time with dual analog and digital functions. A precision-tuned quartz movement controls the big dial and a completely separate movement counts down the seconds and tracks the date in a dashboard of digital displays. The Rally Watch secures with a bicast black leather band and is water-resistant to 3 ATMs.

In honor of that perfect Alpine sky, we added sparkle to the metallic blue face with a trio of Austrian crystal rounds at the twelve, three and nine o’clock positions. Golden Roman numerals pop against the rich black of the outer dial and an easy-to-read date window sits at the six. The Stauer Minuit secures with a genuine black leather strap and gold-fused buckle. Even more impressive than its distinctive design is the price. A Swiss-made timepiece for under $200? Thank your lucky stars. Fits wrists 6 ¾" - 8".

She invented “Hanky Panky”

You might find it hard to believe, but “dazzling” was once considered an insult. At least, that’s how one 19th-century French art critic meant it when he accused the Impressionists of cheap tricks.

He felt that Cezanne, Monet and Pisarro relied too much on the shocking effect of intense color. It’s a good thing he’s not around to review this necklace.

Our Azurine Torsade Necklace blends beautifully with the bold colors of those brave painters. Though the shades of this necklace remind us of the breathtaking skies in Impressionist landscapes, Mother Nature gets full credit for the brushstrokes of our Azurine Torsade. It’s five swooping strands of translucent teardrops clustered together like a summer rainstorm. Each smooth gemstone shimmers blue thanks to microscopic mineral inclusions, and the whole piece radiates the kind of ethereal hue usually reserved for the upper stratosphere. Our 18” Azurine Necklace features a 2” extender and secures with a .925 sterling silver clasp. It’s an elegant and eyecatching way to bring 750 carats of heaven a little closer to Earth.

You know you’re in the lead because you can see the lions up ahead.

If you were in second place, you’d be choking on the copper-colored dust from the red clay roads. The further behind you get in the Safari Rally, the harder it is to see. But when you’re racing at top speed through the Kenyan wilderness, visibility is the least of your worries. All the best drivers need is steady shocks, an uncanny sense of direction and a rugged timepiece like the Stauer Hybrid Rally Watch to help keep them miles ahead of the competition.

Legend has it that the Safari Rally was born out of boredom. In 1953, two cousins wanted a new racing challenge. So they plotted a course through the East African drylands where pavement doesn’t exist and the road hazards bite back. It became the ultimate test of man and machine versus nature. We designed the Stauer Hybrid Rally Watch because we figured they could use all the help they can get.

Inspired by the mystery of late nights, the Stauer Minuit is an exceptional Swiss-made timepiece in a category all its own. It took the designers months to get the look of this timepiece just right. If your favorite color is blue, here’s your chance to see it in a whole new way. Inside, the Minuit is driven by a precision Swiss quartz movement and crafted in Switzerland, home to the world’s noblest watchmaking traditions.

If heaven was a color...

The art of the machine

Let’s start with the man who couldn’t keep a secret. In 1760, a Paris watchmaker wanted more attention for his small workshop.

According to the legend, he removed the face and plates to reveal the inner workings and delicate skeleton of his 18th-century time machines. A fascinated public flocked to his door and the skeleton watch was born. We liked his idea enough to bring it back in a time machine. Feast your eyes on the Stauer Machina.

We removed the hood. Tore down the curtains. And put everything out in the open. What you are left with is the beating heart of time itself. The Stauer Machina pumps the energy of the coiled spring through gears and a handful of impossibly-tiny parts.When you glance down at the Stauer Machina, you don’t just check the time, you watch it being made.

Since every work of art deserves a fitting frame, a square gold-toned stainless steel case of the Machina frames the watchworks between panels of wafer-thin crystal. Ornate scrolled details in each corner add a touch of artistry. And a genuine brown leather band accents the golden glint of the metal-work perfectly. Fits wrists 6 ¾” - 8 ¼”.

Just when we thought the world’s red-hot love affair with blush-colored diamonds was over, along comes the Pink Martian. The 12-carat D. pink diamond (named for the 1976 Viking 1 mission to Mars) recently sold in Hong Kong for $17.4 million. Only months before, the 9-carat “Clark Pink” wowed the world when it sold for $15.7 million. What does our Palos Pink DiamondAura® Collection have in common with the “Martian” rock? More than you might think.

Thanks to science, the lab-created sparkle of DiamondAura surpasses the world’s finest diamonds. The “fire” of our Palos Pink DiamondAura Ring actually burns brighter than the world’s highest-graded diamonds! Mars may be hot, but the process for creating DiamondAura is even hotter. Experts utilize intense pressure and blistering heat (nearly 5000˚ F) to create a masterpiece of gemological art. Each of the five rosy-pink rounds channel-set inside the .925 sterling silver band flicker with the kind of light usually reserved for world-record stones. Experience the hottest diamond color in the universe without leaving the atmosphere!

The Patiala Necklace was one of the world’s most expensive pieces of jewelry when it was created in 1928. According to some accounts, the Maharajah of Patiala visited Cartier® with a box overflowing with jewels and requested they be made into a necklace.

The wealthy ruler wanted something bold and brilliant enough to be seen from atop his royal elephant. The result was a spectacular creation featuring five rows of diamond-encrusted platinum chains and 2,930 large diamonds leading the eye toward a dangling giantthe seventh largest diamond in the world.

Today, the original Patiala Necklace (over 1000 carats!) would be worth as much as $30 million. While undeniably breathtaking, such an extravagance is hardly practical. We challenged our designers to come up with a way to create maximum visual impact with the minimum price tag. Our Lumiére Necklace features over 14 ¾ carats of brilliant, lab-created DiamondAura®. Each DiamondAura is set carefully by hand into its .925 sterling silver prong setting.

The necklace sparkles with even more clarity and fire than natural mined diamonds, which in a similar design can sell for as much as $15,000. According to the book, Jewelry and Gems-the Buying Guide, the technique used in DiamondAura offers “the best diamond simulation to date.” And it’s clear from the first time she enters a room wearing this necklace that she doesn’t need to be riding an elephant to make a massive impression!

When Mars attracts

How to dress like an American hero

It was a rough mission that got even rougher. The B-17 waist gunner saw other bombers explode in flames and plummet to the ground. His plane refused to go down easy. The sky was lousy with flak and enemy fighters. Even worse? The 50-calibers were burned out and empty, like every other gun onboard.

Enemy planes closed in for the kill, stalking the wounded bomber like hungry sharks. The gunner reached inside his leather jacket. It was time to improvise.

He pulled out his pistol, fired into the enemy plane and dropped it with a single bullet. It was a one-in-a-million shot that saved the day, but that man never considered himself a hero. He was an American soldier. That’s what they did. And this is what they wore. This G-1 Leather Flight Jacket is crafted to the exacting specifications of the U.S. military, and remains an officially-issued item for flyers. It’s the version worn by fighter pilots who escorted bombers on their most dangerous missions. Crafted of antiqued lambskin leather, the jacket also features a detachable sheepskin collar and secures with a heavy-duty brass zipper. Wear it with pride knowing that veterans for generations have done the same. The G-1 feels like a jacket with history...because it is.

WWI Ace conquers time travel

Naturally-beautiful, handcrafted necklace of cultured pearls

B.

When I was a kid, nothing captured my imagination like outer space.

On summer nights my friends and I would lie in the field behind my house and stare into the night sky. The stars would sparkle like thousands of shimmering jewels. Our minds raced as we wondered what was out there in the dark. Little did we know that the stars were closer to jewels than we thought.

In World War I, Dieudonne Costes fought head-to-head against lead-spitting enemy planes over the Balkans. In WWI dogfights, victory was decided in a fraction of a second. The first multi-function wristwatches forever changed air combat, allowing pilots to time complicated maneuvers and coordinate attacks.

Ten years later, the crack French pilot faced a different kind of challenge: navigating the pitch black skies over the South Atlantic. Behind the stick of his aircraft, he soared across the time zones from Senegal to Brazil, setting the record for the world’s first non-stop flight across the South Atlantic. We studied countless classic aviator timepieces to match the vintage styling and design. Our watchmakers updated the movement for the 21st century, making it even more accurate and reliable than the originals.

The Stauer Midnight Flyboy™ 1916 features a stunning dial, set inside a case fused in warm rose gold. Three tachymeters and a movable bezel measure speed and ascent and the chronograph functions allow you to measure elapsed time. Interior complications mark minutes and hours and include a 24-hour display. The watch is water-resistant to 10 ATMs and features a crocodile-embossed, genuine leather band. Every decent Ace should have one up his sleeve.

Mother’s dearest

My mother is like no woman I’ve ever known. She’s smart, strong-willed, and beautiful. And she’s always done things a little B. differently. She smiles when she’s nervous.

She takes her shoes off to dance. And she loves watching football with my dad. So not surprisingly, her jewelry choices are a touch different as well. While all her friends have their go-to string of white pearls, my mother’s are pink. A subtle twist on a classic look.

That’s what my mother’s good at. I know C. she’d love this Pink Meré Necklace.

How can we offer such pleasantly pink orbs at such a fantastic price? We use science and inspiration from nature to create breathtaking organic spheres. By extracting the seed pearl from young oysters and coating them in nacre (the same substance that creates naturally grown pearls), we’ve essentially sped up nature’s process in the lab. But rarely in nature do you get anything as perfectly round as the 10mm stunners on our Meré Necklace. And both the necklace and bracelet secure with an effortlessly elegant magnetic clasp. Classy, a little different, and totally affordable. My mother would be proud.

Manhattan’s most wanted During his honeymoon, a young scientist walks into an elite Fifth Avenue jewelry boutique with a bag full of exquisite emeralds hoping to make a few bucks.

E. Instead, he makes headlines.

The snooty manager takes one look at the gems carried by the modestly-dressed man and decides the stones must be stolen. And when the man tries to explain that his stones are lab-creatF. ed, the manager becomes even more suspicious. So the man decides to cut his losses and turns to leave only to find himself face to face with New York’s finest...

The Scienza™ lab-created Emerald Ventura Ring exemplifies the finest aspects of lab-created stones.

The crisp facets of the 1 ½-carat lab-created emerald-cut reveals the deep green which makes this ring unforgettable. Surrounding the center stone is an explosion of DiamondAura® rounds and tapered baguettes that radiate with more fire than mined diamonds. Set brilliantly in gold over sterling silver, the Ventura is a celebration of captivating green beauty. No need to involve the authorities!

An open pocket watch is an invitation.

We met in Vienna. I saw her in the museum, alone by the wall. It felt like the start of something beautiful, but of course H. we were doomed. I was an American businessman. She was a Renaissance painting of Henry VIII’s third wife. It would have never worked out.

Painter Hans Holbein captured her with brilliant brushwork and rich colors. But it was her necklace that really caught my eye. When I left, it meant the end of our brief affair. But a version of that pendant came home with me.

Our Tudor Pendant is a museum-worthy recreation of a jewelry style popular in the Middle Ages. It features three emerald-cut gemstones in a decorative metalwork setting layered with 14K yellow gold. The 15-carat ruby, 15-carat emerald and 5-carat garnet sparkle while a dangling white teardrop stands in for the priceless natural pearls worn by English royalty. All of this hangs from an elegant 20" black silk cord. Much like the wives of Henry VIII, we don’t know how long this beauty will last!

In 1760, French watchmaker AndréCharles Caron first realized the importance of showing off. He was looking for a novel way to get the public interested in his timepieces. First, he considered giving the public a peek behind the curtains. Then he decided to yank them down altogether. When he put the world’s first skeleton watch on display in his Paris shop, he created a sensation.

After 89 years, we can only find one The Stauer Rose Gold-layered Midnight Meisterzeit recreates an automatic watch legend for under $130!

E

ighty-nine years ago, a watchmaker in Europe famous for building clocks at Versailles created a legendary watch movement. He invented the first watch with an automatic mechanical drive. These innovative movements required no batteries and never needed to be manually wound. Only seven of these ultra-rare watches were ever made and we’ve only actually seen one surviving masterpiece in a watch history museum.

Inspired by history, our Stauer Meisterzeit has been painstakingly handcrafted to meet the demanding standards of vintage watch collectors.

Every interior dial has been carefully engineered to replicate the “complications” of the earliest multifunction watches. Two interior dials display day and month and are run by a perpetual calendar mechanism. The 27-ruby jewelled movement utilizes an automatic self-winding mechanism inspired by a patent from 1923. With an exhibition back, you can see into the heart of engineering and you can see the rotor spin to keep it wound—it’s

powered by the movement of your body.

This limited-edition Stauer Rose Gold-layered Midnight Meisterzeit allows you to wear a watch far more exclusive than most new “upscale” models. Here is your chance to claim a piece of watchmaking history in a rare design that is priced to wear everyday. An offer this appealing might not reappear for another 89 years.

he truth is, the Titanic never sank. It has been floating in our collective unconscious for a century, never far from our thoughts.

Generations separate us from the event, but still we feel tethered to the lives on board, to the families that were separated, to the hopeful couples who were celebrating their honeymoons on that trans-Atlantic voyage.

April 15th, 2012 marked the 100th anniversary of the Titanic’s unfortunate end. And in true Hollywood style, a certain blockbuster was re-released to commemorate the event.

But at Stauer, we decided to honor the ship’s history-making cruise with a brilliant, icy-blue stunner we call the Ocean Blue Pendant for only $99!

The R.M.S. Titanic was a massive ship, as long as the Empire State building is tall. And it enjoyed massive hype as it left port. So to properly honor its maiden voyage, we had to launch something truly epic. Our Ocean Blue Pendant features a faceted 27-carat lab-created spinel that sparkles with a cool, crisp blue like the shimmering surface of the sea. Surrounding the heart are 35 brilliant lab-created DiamondAura® rounds that flash with more fire than mined white diamonds. The setting displays impressive scrolled silverwork, the bail is adorned with its own DiamondAura knockout, and the entire piece hangs gracefully from an elegant 20" silk cord necklace. Don’t miss this chance to show someone special the depth of your love.

The “trapper’s knife” was designed to be used in the field by hunters. An effective tool, it contained two blades for very specific purposes. Both efficient and convenient, it was an immediate hit with the rough and tough frontiersmen who made it so popular. And its balance of form and function has kept it a favorite for at least a hundred years, making it a true legend of the knife world.

Today we have the ability to make its form just as impressive as its function.

And that’s exactly what we’ve done with our Mother of Pearl & Abalone Inlay Trapper’s Knife. Taking inspiration from much-sought-after antique knives, we’ve reproduced the finest details of traditional design using modern techniques. The classic style remains, as does the quality craftsmanship you’ve come to expect from Stauer. The 6” body of the knife has been expertly inlaid with the iridescent shimmer of mother of pearl and abalone. Gold-toned accents provide extra flash, and the sturdy, sharp blades are expertly forged from the world’s finest stainless steel. No matter how you use it, this is one knife that never gets dull!

Time travel at the speed of a 1930s Speedster?

The 1930s brought unprecedented innovation in machine-age technoloE. gy and materials. Industrial designers from the auto industry translated the principles of aerodynamics and streamlining into everyday objects like radios and toasters. It was also a decade when an unequaled variety of watch cases and movements came into being. In lieu of hands to tell time, one such Classic time machine complication, called a jumping mechwith a retro display anism, utilized numerals on a disc viewed through a window. With its striking resemblance to the dashboard gauges and radio dials of the decade, the jump hour watch was indeed “in tune” with the times!

The Stauer 1930 Dashtronic deftly blends the modern functionality of a 21-jewel automatic movement and 3-ATM water resistance with the distinctive, retro look of a jumping display (not an actual jumping complication). True to “Machine Art” aesthetics, the sleek brushed stainless steel case is clear on the back, allowing a peek at the inner workings. The 1 ½" case is complemented with a black alligator-embossed leather band. Fits wrists 7" to 8 ½".

his is not an everyday necklace.

That’s because it’s not every day we find a cache of genuine African rubies this gorgeous. While the impressive size and even more impressive price weren’t typical, the quality was everything we’ve come to expect. That’s because some of the finest rubies in history have come out of Africa. And that’s no surprise, considering the legendary lost mines of King Solomon are rumored to be somewhere on the continent. In 1949, an English prospector unearthed the fabled treasure trove, or so he thought. After months wandering the African bush he came across a basin littered with enormous rubies. Overwhelmed with excitement, he quickly set up camp. But he wasn’t the only one who held claim to the land.

Miners often have to deal with rivals, but his problem was bigger, literally. Each day, miners would drive to the site, and each day they found the road blocked by fallen trees. Apparently, the local elephant herd was intent on keeping the miners away from their rubies. Lucky for you (and for us), we were able to avoid any wild animals to bring you this Sheba Natural Ruby Necklace.

Adorned with 30 carats of deep red, faceted natural rubies, this piece is bound to attract some jealous glances. Each radiant natural gemstone has been meticulously set into an ornate .925 sterling silver frame. Full of swirling details, the silverwork is absolutely stunning, and you may find yourself as impressed with it as you are with the rubies themselves. The garland of six oval rubies drapes elegantly from an 18” sterling-silver chain that secures with a lobster clasp. Others will wonder where you discovered such exotic gems. But they don’t need to know you acquired such luxury for such a low price. And neither do the elephants.

Ancient history has a hundred different tales about the origin of amber. We know it today E. as fossilized resin, a natural prehistoric gem that hums with an ethereal orange glow. But centuries ago, while Lithuanian peasants fished amber nuggets from the icy Baltic, they told their children a much different story. They believed amber was the broken and scattered pieces of a mermaid’s castle, smashed by the storms of an angry thunder god. He wrecked her home as punishment for falling in love with a local fisherman. The deity crushed her romance and left the mermaid heartbroken. Her tears turned to amber droplets along the sea floor.

Thankfully, true love triumphs because some of those very same “mermaid tears” appear in our Baltic Honey Amber Earrings.

Each features a translucent golden drop of smooth, gem-quality Baltic amber set in a decorative, oxidized setting that dangles from French wire hooks. Every dollop is different, with its own flourish of air bubbles that distinguishes each ring as a unique work of natural art. The companion ring is just as spectacular, with a decadent oval framed in elegant metalwork. A legendary romance lives on!

New Style! Long live heavy metal I love precious metals. Honestly I do. But sometimes when designing a piece of men’s jewelry, I crave something tougher, something less...precious. Once I found tungsten, it was love at first sight. But not that sappy, romantic kind of love where you hear birds chirping and harps playing. I heard music, but it was more like heavy metal guitar.

Crunching riffs and thundering drums. Any chirping birds were drowned out by the sounds of bullets, explosions and rockets.

Where has this metal been all my life? Named for the old Swedish word for “heavy stone,” tungsten is four times harder than titanium and 71% denser than lead. It’s so tough that when they need to cut it and polish it they have to use diamonds...the hardest substance on Earth! It’s the very same metal that goes into armor-piercing ammunition and the fuel nozzles of skyscraper-sized rockets.

Can it handle a life of luxury? Of course. Even as a polished piece of fine jewelry it remains an overachiever. Unlike other fine metals, the spectacular polish and shine will never dull. And if you’re a fan of wide men’s rings and tough bracelets, you’re going to be amazed by how well these pieces balance a heavyweight feel with “forget-yourwearing-it” comfort. Added details include a carbon fiber and gold tone chain link inlay. The perfect symbol of a relationship built to last.
