Rainbow High

For her latest collaboration with Swiss haute horlogerie manufacture Audemars Piguet, Italian designer Carolina Bucci has created a new unisex 34MM Royal Oak Selfwinding in black ceramic.

This elegant timepiece, which is being unveiled as part of the celebration of the Royal Oak’s 50th anniversary, features a dial that initially appears to be black, but is endowed with a unique multicolored mirror effect paying tribute to the iconic Tapisserie design.

To achieve this extraordinary result, a sapphire plate adorned with little squares made through micro-structuring is added on top of the brass dial plate to create rich rainbowcolored plays of light. In addition, a specially developed golden metallization is also applied onto the back of the sapphire plate to create a mirror effect, shining light onto the dial.

The black ceramic case and bracelet are highlighted by hexagonal pink gold screws that secure the bezel and create an elegant contrast of hues. All the components of the case and bracelet are finished with the brand’s signature satin-finishing, which is paired with polished chamfers for a maximum play on light.

This limited-edition piece comes in a beautifully designed box that was also conceived by Bucci, creating an ideal presentation for a watch that is itself a work of art.

Enticing Allure

Lovers of Bulgari’s gorgeous jewelry and watches have long been struck by the appeal of the enchanting Serpenti motif. Now, the sinuous snake adorns the company’s Serpenti Forever line of luxurious leather accessories, including a stunning tote bag, available in both black and ivory calfskin, as well as a variety of breathtakingly beautiful clutches and flap-cover bags.

Bulgari first introduced this eye-catching shape in the late 1940s in its Serpenti Tubogas gold bracelet watch that cleverly wrapped around the wearer’s wrist. From the mid-1950s onward, the serpent began to be rendered in a more realistic way that drew an explicit line to the ancient motif. The case took shape as the snake’s head

and the dial lay under a hinged cover on the upper and central part of the head, which was often encrusted with diamonds and adorned with eyes of ruby, emerald or sapphire.

As the decades progressed, Serpenti bracelets and bracelet watches became both more realistic-looking and extremely elaborate, often incorporating unexpected precious and semiprecious stones. Now, like these pieces of jewelry, the Serpenti leather line has become a must-have accessory for the fashionforward woman.

Letter Perfect

For Chanel’s new watchmaking capsule, Chanel Wanted, its iconic six-letter logo stamps its identity on each of the collection’s unique models in a completely different way.

On the bold J12 38MM glossy black ceramic watch, the graphic elements on the dial and bezel have completely disappeared to make way for the iconic six letters of “CHANEL,” which stretch extravagantly across the and overlap onto the bezel. Meanwhile, the J12 33MM, in white

ceramic, boasts a filigree of logos which unfold from the bezel to

The watches feature a black-coated fixed bezel, matte black ceramic ring with “CHANEL” letters black shiny ceramic, a matte black enamel gold dial with “CHANEL” in black shiny enamel.

For more than a quarter-century, Buben & Zörweg has been behind some of the world’s most sought-after luxury safes and watch winders. From conceptualization and sketching to material treatment and construction, each of Buben & Zörweg’s masterpieces is lovingly handcrafted in Ölbronn/Dürrn, near Stuttgart, Germany. From there, each item is welcomed into its new home to not just store and display collectibles, but to be pieces of art in themselves.

Their range includes multifunctional presentation objects, safes and built-in safe solutions, and watch winders. Each is available with various options in terms of size, function, materials and colors.

Buben & Zörweg was named by Ernst & Young as one of the 30 best German luxury brand manufacturers, alongside the likes of Montblanc, Porsche and BMW. To be officially welcoming them under our umbrella of brands is a true pleasure for the London Jewelers family.

Exquisite Elegance

“A classic timepiece, designed for a lady.” This is how some may describe the Oyster Perpetual Lady-Datejust. Maybe they’re right. Since the early 20th century, Rolex has designed and crafted watches suited for the wrists of every woman, with the same standard of excellence as all the models that have built its legend.

Now, 65 years later, this exquisite and elegant watch of smaller proportions — built on Rolex’s unwavering standards of excellence — graces the wrists of some of the most renowned women in the world. Marine biologist Sylvia Earle, golf champion Annika Sörenstam, singer Dame Kiri Te Kanawa, pianist Yuja Wang, tennis champion Garbiñe Muguruza, biologist Emma Camp and sitar virtuoso Anoushka Shankar have all achieved excellence in their chosen fields.

What makes the watch so timeless are its many innovative features, including a 28MM Oyster case (waterproof to a depth of 100 meters), a caliber 2236 self-winding movement, an instantaneous date with Cyclops lens, a power reserve of 55 hours, a Syloxi hairspring in silicon and high-performance Paraflex shock absorbers.

For women who seek individuality, multiple dial variations are available on the Lady-Datejust, from the use of Roman or Arabic numerals, to numerous gem-setting options for the hour markers, to the dial itself, which is available in champagne, mother of pearl or silver, set with either white or pink diamonds.

In every way, the Oyster Perpetual Lady-Datejust is a singular achievement in watchmaking.

TUDOR

In With the New

edge of technical watchmaking refinement.

For nearly 100 years, Tudor has consistently offered timepieces with style, reliability and unmatched value. But the company has never rested on its laurels, introducing new and exciting watches year after year.

Earlier this year, expansions to the Black Bay line were unveiled, including the Black Bay Pro, Black Bay GMT and Black Bay Chrono. Also of interest are the Black Bay 31, 36, 39 and 41 S&G models, which bring a unique aesthetic to this beloved collection. Their curved cases, highlighted with polished yellow gold sections, are the epitome of sophistication. Fitted with manufacture calibers — including reference MT5201, which ushers in a new family of Tudor movements and featuring a special five-link adjustable bracelet, these models are at the cutting

Next, to mark the 70th anniversary of the British North Greenland Expedition, Tudor is presenting the Ranger model, a tool watch celebrating the spirit of this daring adventure. It comes complete with Manufacture Calibre MT5402, a 39MM case, a grained, matte-black domed dial featuring hour markers painted with grade-A Swiss Super-LumiNova luminescent material, and three bracelet options: olive-green Jacquard fabric with red beige stripes; hybrid rubber and leather; or 316L with “T-fit” rapidadjustment clasp.

Finally, with its integrated metal bracelet, notched or diamond-set bezel and automatic movement, the new Tudor Royal range is the epitome of versatile and affordable sport-chic and will look perfect on any wrist.

Ladies’ Choice

Since 1839, timepieces for women have been featured prominently in Patek Philippe’s collections, from the pocket and pendant watches of the 19th century to the wristwatches that first emerged in the early part of the 20th century. Several milestones in the manufacture’s history also relate to watches destined for women, including the first true wristwatch made in Switzerland, created for a Hungarian countess in 1868, and the company’s very first striking wristwatch, a five-minute repeater housed in a small platinum case with an integrated chain bracelet created in 1916.

In 1999, Patek Philippe strengthened its links with feminine watch lovers by launching the Twenty~4, its first collection designed specifically to meet the demands of the independent active woman seeking a timepiece to complement both her fashionable business wear and most elegant evening attire. Then in 2018, Patek Philippe responded to women’s increasing interest in mechanical watches by launching the elegant Twenty~4 Automatic.

Now, women have yet another timepiece to call their own: The Ref. 7130R-014 Ladies’ World Time watch in rose gold. The center of its gorgeous olive-green dial is adorned with a hand-guilloched old-basketweave décor, creating extraordinary visual interest. Perfect for today’s woman, it is both wonderfully contemporary and exceptionally refined.

Animal Magnetism

The panther has been synonymous with Cartier since 1914, the maison debuted Panthère jewelry collection. The first panther emerged in onyx and diamonds, boldly presented on wristwatch.

In 1948, Cartier’s was transformed. Jeanne nicknamed “La was an eccentric and thinker who elevated by making it three-dimensional. She was the inspiration signature collection when it came to how perceived their femininity displayed it through style. She became role model who changed way women wore about jewelry. Some first to proudly wear Pantheré pieces

Beads of Gold

Van Cleef & Arpels has introduced new Perlée creations that honor the maison’s golden bead theme.

On a diverse variety of jewelry styles and timepieces, yellow, rose or white gold combine with either precious gems, ornamental stones, mother of pearl or coral, with the adjacent golden beads lending an iridescent effect. The resulting collection is cheerful, lively and playful.

Five new Perlée Couleurs rings feature vibrant stones such as black onyx and deep green malachite. Also included in limited quantities (due to their rarity) are blue lapis lazuli, azure turquoise and orangey-red coral. And for the first time

In addition to five new timepieces, there are three Perlée Toi & Moi secret watches in various combinations, all with Swiss quartz movements: rose gold, diamonds, turquoise, coral and mother of pearl; yellow gold, diamonds, turquoise and mother of pearl; and rose gold, diamonds, carnelian, black pietersite and mother of pearl.

A Legend in the Making

London Jewelers is thrilled to offer our clients the rare opportunity to invest in a piece of jewelry history. Like the Hope, Dresden and Cullinan diamonds before it, this 18.01-carat Pigeon’s Blood ruby will become a part of gemstone lore. The owner will be bestowed with naming rights, certified by GemResearch Swisslab and accompanied by a published booklet.

This stone is one of the largest and most vibrant our GIA-certified gemologists have ever seen. The term “Pigeon’s Blood” designates the highest level of rarity and color

quality that a ruby can attain. Hailing from a relatively new mine discovered in Mozambique, the stone is clear and striking enough to rival any other on Earth.

The one-of-a-kind ruby has been cut into a cushion shape and placed in a classic and timeless setting, flanked by two Cadillac-cut diamonds that enhance the rarity of the ring’s center. The rose gold scrolled accents and pink diamonds on the ring’s mounting add a special flair for the future wearer to enjoy. Contact us today to arrange your private viewing appointment.

Crystal Blue Persuasion

The intense blue stone known as Paraiba tourmaline was discovered relatively recently, in 1989, and has quickly risen to become one of the most prized gemstones in the world. The first specimens were found in Paraiba, Brazil (giving them their name) by Heitor Dimas Barbosa. Convinced that he would find a “magic gem,” he and his assistant dug in the pegmatite galleries of the hills of the Federal Brazilian State of Paraiba until they finally obtained their prize.

Although similarly shaded stones were later found in Nigeria and Mozambique, the rarest and most electric blue Paraiba tourmalines are still the ones from Brazil. Copper content, along with traces

manganese and bismuth, is what gives these beauties such rich hues.

Color, rather than clarity, is most relevant when determining the value of Paraiba tourmaline. Visible inclusions do not affect their worth as much as in other types of gemstones. The highest prices are placed upon strongly saturated, medium-tone neon blues. Many have a bit of a green hue, which won’t affect price unless becomes strong enough to warrant classification as a blue-green or green Paraiba.

Choosing the right cut is also

18K white gold paraiba tourmaline, sapphire and diamond bracelet, PRICE UPON REQUEST

paramount, with brilliant cuts widely agreed to be the best for getting the maximum value out of a stone.

Fine colored and faceted Paraibas over one carat are very rare. Due to their rarity and the difficult mining procedures it takes to extract Paraiba tourmaline safely from the Earth, values have continued to hold strong and, for the most part, increase over the last few decades. Often they can command an even higher price per carat than diamonds! Come into London Jewelers to see for yourself why the special glow of Paraiba tourmaline has us under its spell.

Sweta Jain of Goshwara

What made you want to become a jewelry designer? I was born into the trade (my father is a gem dealer/manufacturer), but I had only worked with loose stones until I was 21. I initially thought I would become a pilot and travel and write, but I kept gravitating toward jewelry. I got to visit the mines, and learning at the cutting facilities forged my passion. I enjoyed drawing, and since I wanted to use the gemstones more creatively, designing seemed like the right career path. I studied at GIA as well as the Fashion Institute of Technology to develop my craft. How do you continually find inspiration to create new collections each season? I am inspired primarily by architecture and my travels, which encompass art and nature. Art Deco is a big influence for me: one will see an element of geometry in a majority of my pieces. Linear shapes, a play on colors and tone-on-tone could be considered my design signatures.

My one-of-a-kind pieces are inspired by the gemstone itself; I build

the design around the stone. But no matter the piece or collection, I try to keep evolving so they are trendy, yet still traditional and timeless. What does the word “Goshwara” signify? Goshwara is a term used to describe a silhouette of perfect proportions. In ancient Persian courts, this term was used to describe the perfection of beauty, as this shape embodies the essence of femininity with it’s luxurious curves.

Tell us a bit about your newest collections: Manhattan and Queen. Minimalist lines yet bold structures are what our Manhattan collection is all about. Our pieces represent the famous skyline of New York City, which people all over the world dream of seeing. Our classic, yet flamboyant and colorful designs remind you of the power and sleekness the city can offer.

Our Queen collection was inspired by royalty, but with a modern twist. The combination of enamel with diamonds, emerald, ruby, aquamarine and tanzanite represents power, richness and passion. These pieces will become your own treasure, your own crown.

x HAVE A HEART

Charmed for a Cause

Nothing makes us happier than shopping to benefit a charity that’s near and dear to our hearts.

To that end, fine jewelry agency Muse, which represents an array of exciting independent brands, has introduced the “Have a Heart” initiative. Its network of talented designers each contributed a specially created heart charm in their own signature style (stars and flowers were added later), and as a retail partner, London Jewelers had the fun opportunity to curate our own unique selection to bring directly to our clientele.

A percentage of proceeds from the charms sold at London Jewelers will be donated to Rescue Paw Foundation, which supports no-kill shelters, rescue efforts, spay and neuter services, veterinary work and humane education. (Turn to page 73 of this issue to learn more.) We hope you’ll choose a charm and help us support this important cause!

La Dolce Vita

Taking a trip to Capri is like stepping into an Italian fairytale. A playground for the global elite and anyone who loves to enjoy life’s luxuries, the island is known for its cobblestone streets, storefronts draped in bougainvillea, boats sailing through the Bay of Naples and — jutting out that bright blue water — the towering rocks of Faraglioni. In the heart of it all, just off the famed Piazzetta square, visitors will find the island’s crown jewel: Grand Hotel Quisisana. Built in 1845 as a sanatorium (Quisisana is Italian for “here one heals”), this five-star escape is the largest hotel in Capri. Owned by the Morgano family since 1981, it is opulent, but inviting. It’s a place where most guests arrive by helicopter or boat, step inside and immediately feel like family.

“Quisisana is home for our guests. That’s why they come here,” explains Adalberto Cuomo, general manager of the hotel. “We’ve put all of our passion and hard work into Quisisana to make it beautiful. It means everything to our family.”

Behind its mid-century Mediterranean façade, the hotel’s 147 rooms and suites are filled with thoughtfully chosen 19th-century furnishings, items from the Morgano family’s personal collection of art

and antiques, floral textiles and marble accents. But nothing beats the view: picturesque winding streets, hotel gardens, the Bay of Naples or, if you’re in a Junior Suite, direct views of Faraglioni itself. There is a 1929-built theater by famed Italian architect Giò Ponti, a library and a Turkish baths and an indoor swimming pool. More active travelers can work at the gym, a yoga class, tennis, swim in outdoor pool or simply stroll through hotel’s lush and whimsical gardens.

Of course, one can’t think of an elegant Italian getaway without thinking of the delicious food and drink. Wake up to a buffet breakfast on the terrace, where you’ll enjoy Italian specialties like torta Caprese, fresh-baked lemon pastries, cured meats and local cheeses. Indulge in a traditional Capri lunch at La Colombaia with carefully made pastas, fresh-caught seafood and real Neapolitan pizza cooked in a wood oven. End every day with an aperitivo at Quisi Bar, followed by a candlelit dinner under the stars beside the lavish Quisisana pool.

“Capri is like a small paradise. You go for its natural beauty, the food and the kindness of its people,” says Cuomo. “In Capri, everything about life is special.”

LOVE

Get to know entrepreneur, model and friend of London Jewelers, Kate Bock.

When Kate Bock walked into our Americana Manhasset flagship for this issue’s cover shoot, she was clearly still riding a bridal high. Three weeks prior she had married Cleveland Cavaliers power forward Kevin Love in a star-studded wedding at The New York Public Library. She describes the aesthetic as “old Hollywood glamour meets old-school New York.” Guests stuck to a palette of black and white, and hundreds of white candles served as the main décor focus.

She met Love in 2015 after they had worked with the same photographer a few days apart: “We both saw each other’s photos and asked, ‘Who’s that?’” After getting in contact, they met for coffee and immediately clicked. They went public on Instagram in 2016 when Bock posted to congratulate her beau on his historic NBA Finals win with the Cavs. And in January 2021, Love proposed with a vintage cushion-cut diamond in a simple, timeless setting.

“It was winter in New York City, and we were having dinner in a heated yurt to celebrate my birthday,” Bock shares. “So at first I didn’t think it was strange that he kept putting his hands in and out of his pockets… He clearly wanted everything to be perfect, and I couldn’t have asked for anything more.”

“Kevin first heard about London Jewelers through a longtime family friend who spoke so highly of their watch selection,” Bock explains. “Since we started shopping here, Kevin has been able to add to his watch collection which he absolutely loves… and a few gifts for me! We love supporting a family

business and feel like we have become a part of the family ourselves at this point.”

We were honored when the couple came to us to choose their wedding bands, with Love selecting a classic rounded-edge band in 18k yellow gold and Kate opting for a thin, simple diamond eternity band. Scott Udell, Vice President of London Jewelers, was able to source the exact pair of vintage earrings that Bock had pinned to her wedding inspiration board. Talk about turning dreams into reality!

After exchanging rings and vows, the pair followed up their epic wedding weekend with a mini-moon in Italy, and Bock was in the midst of finalizing the itinerary for an African safari as she sat in the hair and makeup chair preparing for our shoot.

Bock (who, as an established businesswoman, will continue to use that name professionally despite “winning the lastname lottery with Love”) first gained national attention from her Sports Illustrated Swimsuit debut in 2013. She has since appeared in top publications including Vogue, Vanity Fair and Elle, as well as ad campaigns for Ralph Lauren, Alo Yoga, L’Oreal and more.

When her usually rigorous travel schedule slowed during the pandemic, Bock took advantage of the extra downtime to launch Love Kate, the umbrella company she uses to invest and partner with brands she’s interested in growing. Bock currently serves as a lifestyle editor at Verishop, contributes to MindBodyGreen and has a stake in the nut butter startup Abby’s Better.

She’s also chief brand officer for the hard sparkling seltzer company Pompette, which means “tipsy” in French. “I was gifted by the brand and knew immediately it was something I would have chosen myself. It’s a gluten-free recipe with only 160-calories per bottle. The taste is light and fresh,” she explains. “Plus the resealable 750 mL glass bottles make more sense than other hard seltzer packaging out there.”

In addition to her financial investment and acting as the public face of the company, Bock is involved in every aspect of the business, including product development and distribution. “There was a bit of a learning curve, but I loved challenging myself to learn the business beyond design. I think I’ve gained a lot of experience that will make me a stronger brand partner.”

She was a “bonafide fan” of Bond-eye swimwear, so she jumped at the opportunity to

18k white gold round diamond hoops; 14k white and yellow gold round diamond tennis necklaces available in various carat weights; 12.67-carat round diamond (platinum mounting sold separately); platinum round diamond eternity band; 18k white and yellow gold round diamond four-prong tennis bracelets available in various carat weights; platinum emerald-cut diamond eternity band.

collaborate on a line using the brand’s signature textured fabrics made from recycled materials. The collection smooths imperfections and stretches to accommodate all sizes, with neutral shades like “almond” and “cedar” that can either match or pop against skin tones.

“I had so much fun diving into the creative process, putting together mood boards and coming up with my own unique twist on the designs,” Bock shares. As creative director of the marketing campaign, she spearheaded a successful social media launch and influencer gifting program that quickly led to a full sell-out via Bondeye.com and retailers including Intermix, Revolve and Shopbop. It’s something she “would absolutely love to do again.”

As Bock stays busy with her growing business and modeling commitments, the couple will continue to split time between NYC and Cleveland with their Hungarian Vizsla, Vestry, in tow. Up next is a line of chic special occasion dresses that she hopes to unveil in the next few months.

We can’t wait to see everything the future holds for this special duo and we’re grateful to be part of marking their life celebrations.

A Day at the Fair ART

As throngs of Manhattanites departed for the East End during the height of the pandemic, major art galleries and dealers began bringing the New York City art scene to them. Fast-forward to today, and the Hamptons is still host to a bevy of galleries, events and festivals that draw artists and collectors from all over the world.

Hamptons Fine Art Fair

July 13-16, 2023 Southampton Fairgrounds hamptonsfineartfair.com

Hosted under the Pollock Pavillion on 17 acres of rural Southampton countryside, the annual Hamptons Fine Art Fair houses the largest collection of important art in the East End. Designed with sophisticated Hamptonites in mind, this four-day celebration of art and culture invites guests to wander through an outdoor sculpture garden, meet artists and gallerists from all over the world, attend inspiring panels and see (or buy!) the work of well-known artists like Andy Warhol, Mr. Brainwash, Julian Opie and more.

Art Market Hamptons

Summer 2023

Nova’s Ark Project & Sculpture Park artmarkethamptons.com

Art Market Hamptons (previously Market Art + Design), is the Hamptons’ longestrunning modern and contemporary art and design fair. Under a giant white tent in a 95-acre park dotted with iron, wood and mixed-medium sculptures, art enthusiasts can roam from booth to booth and discover art from over 80 galleries across the globe.

Amagansett Fine Arts Festival

June 24-25, 2023

American Legion

Founded by artist David Oleski, this laid-back event brings more than 35 local, regional and national artists — including Italian metal artist Domenico Belli, photographer Matthew Raynor and painter Rick Phillips, to name a few — to charming and historic Amagansett. Now in its 12th year, the Amagansett Fine Arts Festival has become a fixture in the Hamptons art scene. Unlike other fine art fairs, this event is free to attend and gives art enthusiasts a chance to connect with both emerging and established artists.

RESCUE is our MISSION

Established in 2010, Rescue Paw Foundation raises funds for organizations whose goal is to keep companion animals alive, healthy and happy. It sponsors adoption events and gives grants to no-kill shelters, rescue missions, providers of spay and neuter services, and humane education programs.

Rescue Paw Foundation saves precious lives by utilizing its vast network to arrange veterinary services and safely transport companion animals out of dangerous situations both in the U.S. and abroad. In 2022, RPF partnered with rescuers from Dallas to transport more than 1,000 dogs and cats from kill shelters and the streets of rural Texas to no-kill shelters along the East Coast, where they will now have a chance to find loving forever homes.

Our international rescue efforts have also ramped up, in partnership with No Dogs Left Behind, which has recently become No Dogs Left Behind Beyond Borders. From its initial goal to rescue dogs from the Chinese meat market, NDLB’s mission has expanded to help dog survivors in war-torn areas.

Earlier this year over a nine-day period,

NDLB founder Jeffrey Beri rescued 300 dogs and cats from Afghanistan and transported them back to safe harbor in the U.S. Then in August, he headed to Ukraine to evacuate pets left stranded on the frontlines. He is currently in the process of converting two private homes in Hungary into shelters, where four refugee families will be given safe haven as they care for the animals.

Other important domestic work done by Rescue Paw Foundation includes providing financial support to HEART, an elementary humane education program that aims to stop the cycle of abuse and apathy toward animals. And at the LIU College of Veterinary Medicine, which opened in 2020, RPF currently sponsors a Fido Fixers spay and neuter van parked outside the school, providing stray animals in the area with critical services and giving students a firsthand learning experience.

One in a Billion

Continuing its commitment to cleaning, restoring the world’s waters in an era of dangerous has introduced the New York Harbor Limited-Edition

This 2,000-piece design, based on the company’s performance Aquis diver’s watch, has been specially support of the Billion Oyster Project, a pioneering to restore New York Harbor’s oyster population

The stunning timepiece offers a 41.50MM stainless mother-of-pearl dial featuring hands and indices LumiNova®, top-glass sapphire and Movement Number Oris 733. It comes with both a rubber strap and a stainless steel bracelet with folding clasp, along with a strap-change tool, and is water resistant up to 300 meters.

The Billion Oyster Project began in 2014. Founded by educators Murray Fisher and Pete Malinowski, it recognized that without educating current and future generations, conservation efforts would be futile. In the years since, the project has brought 11,000 volunteers, 8,000 students, 100 New York City schools and more than 50 restaurant partners together to affect change. More specifically, it has introduced 75 million juvenile oysters to 18 restoration sites covering 14.5 acres of New York Harbor — and the oyster population is now self-sustaining.

Talk about a pearl of an idea.

LIVE YOUR PASSION HIGHLIFE LADIES QUARTZ

Tequila Rising

Everywhere you look these days,

there’s a celebrity endorsing a new brand of spirit. We can probably trace the origins to George Clooney and his venture into perfecting and promoting the base for a good cocktail (think Margaritas and Tequila Sunrises).

Before Clooney lent his clout, many people associated tequila with overindulging in their carefree college days. In recent years, though, tequila’s reputation has gone through a rebranding. Its days as a cheap shot have become like college itself: a fun (but fuzzy) memory.

At the top of our list of sophisticated sipping tequilas is Clase Azul. We love the gorgeous one-of a-kind decanters, sculpted and hand-painted by gifted Mexican artisans. There’s even a ceramic workshop, Tradición Mazahua, dedicated to creating these signature works of art. Each vessel is individually painted using ancient Mazahua techniques and paying homage to Mexican culture.

But we wouldn’t just judge a book by its cover; what’s inside is also

inspiring. Clase Azul has created a luxurious product in which beauty and function collide. Innovation, artistry, tradition and excellence are at the heart of the brand.

The process to make this world-class spirit requires time and patience. The blue agave grows for six to eight years in the highest elevation of Jalisco, where the climate and soil contribute to the tequila’s characteristics. Baking for 72 hours in old masonry ovens gives the spirit its distinctive sweetness and creates complex aroma and flavors. Proprietary yeast stimulates the fermentation process and later it’s distilled twice for best quality. It’s evident that every sip is meant to be savored.

Clase Azul also helps others achieve their goals through Fundación Causa Azul, which supports artisan communities while honoring their heritage. And through their soccer team, Mazorqueros, they help a younger generation by enabling access to education, healthcare and housing. Cheers to that!

Our buying team discovers the best designers from around the world and brings their collections home to our discerning clientele. Below, learn about a few of our favorite new finds.

Clean, conceptual, innovative: three words synonymous with the Spinelli Kilcollin brand. Founded in 2010 by husband-and-wife duo Yves Spinelli and Dwyer Kilcollin, they began by designing a series of interconnected Galaxy rings (which are meant to be stacked or worn across several fingers) and eventually developed a variety

of other jewelry, including earrings, chains, pendants and bracelets.

They are a rapidly evolving brand and in recent years have even branched out beyond jewelry. They now produce eyewear, furniture and even a bi-annual magazine. All Spinelli Kilcollin products are handmade by a small team of highly skilled and dedicated craftspeople in downtown Los Angeles. Their mission is to create highquality, versatile and fluid pieces. No matter what the item (whether it’s a dining room table or a pair of pavé diamond earrings), their ethos remains constant. Spinelli Kilcollin’s products reflect the brand values, namely sustainability. They ethically source, construct and deliver their pieces, always exhibiting integrity and maintaining social responsibility.

Mattia Cielo’s creations are a blend of technology and tradition, where Italian craftsmanship meets modern ergonomic design. The jewelry so naturally becomes one with the woman who wears it that his pieces have been referred to as “moving jewels.”

In keeping with his family’s heritage — he is descended from generations of goldsmiths — Cielo started his own company in 2006 to reflect how today’s women wear jewelry. His design pillars: lightness, softness, movement and flexibility.

The signature Mattia Cielo collection, Rugiada, features hoop earrings sized up to an extra-large standard, comfortable rings and bracelets that adapt to the wrist of each individual wearer yet retain their original shape when removed.
