Valentine’s Day

Valentine’s Day is only a few days away. If you have postponed purchasing a gift for your loved one keep in mind these tips. While you may be tempted to go for those heart-shaped jewels and red stones, my advice is to stray from the norm. Impress your valentine with a set of pearl earrings or a lovely necklace. White pearls are classy and elegant but if they are already a staple in her jewelry collection, instead choose a champagne color that is more unique. The iridescence that pearls display is sure to bring out your females natural glow. To complement these beauteous pearls, Maddaloni Jewelers offers the Ladies Ulysse Nardin Executive. Featuring a rubber band, diamond bezel and markers, and a mother of pearl dial, this timepiece will ensure she is fashionably on time.

Tag Heuer MIKROGIRDER At Maddaloni

The second annual TimeCrafters show was impressive this weekend. The Park Avenue Armory was filled with 21 leading Swiss timepiece manufactures. The watch fair displayed retrospectives on many of the historical brands, introductions of new pieces and watchmakers explaining functionalities. The big news of the show was the new Tag Heuer MIKROGIRDER. Simpler, faster and more efficient than science dreamed possible, impervious to gravity and dramatically reducing isochronous error, potentially easier to manufacture and able to precisely measure time to a phenomenal 1/2,000th of a second today, and probably even more precisely tomorrow…TAG Heuer challenges three centuries of hairspring/balance wheel mechanical regulation conventions to create a totally new mechanical regulator. The legendary Swiss brand is now unveiling a first Concept version, a 2,000th of a second chronograph beating at 1,000 Hz or 7,200,000 beats per hour!

Train Lead Singer a Fan of Scott Kay Jewelry

It was love at first song when I heard “Drops of Jupiter (Tell Me)” back in 2001. Then when I saw Train play live at the Wiltern in ’03 I knew the band was more than a one-hit-wonder. Over the years Patrick Monahan, Jimmy Stafford and Scott Underwood have not disappointed as they’ve continued to release hit after hit, including “Soul Sister,” “Calling All Angels,” “Marry Me,” and my current favorite, “Save Me, San Francisco.”

This kind of longevity in the music industry is based on talent, creativity, business smarts and an unparalleled work ethic that sets Train apart from thousands of other bands. It’s no wonder that when lead singer Patrick Monahan selected jewelry to wear for a private industry concert, he chose rock star-worthy styles in silver by designer Scott Kay, a leader in the jewelry industry who shares the same attributes as the Grammy-winners.

Scott Kay lives by one rule: never compromise. For over 30 years he’s been acclaimed as one of the foremost authorities in engagement rings and wedding bands, creating unique, handcrafted designs in platinum, gold, and cobalt. I can tell you that brides and grooms love his designs just as much as the rock stars and celebrities do.
