b y V E N C E V I D A SELECT ANY ADDRESS IN THE WORLD AND LET A DIAMOND MARK THE PLACE THAT CHANGED EVERYTHING. A.JAFFE designer spotlight MARK YOUR MOMENT One of the best things about fine jewelry is its timelessness. Gold and diamonds last forever, and so can the memories associated with a cherished piece. It’s one of the best ways to celebrate and eternalize life’s most meaningful moments and keep them fresh in your mind and close to your heart for years — even generations.
A. Jaffe’s map tool allows you to zoom in and out on a special location and pinpoint the exact placement of a single diamond to signify a place of importance and, if you choose, to frame the map with an elegant diamond rim. You can also engrave a message on the back! Here are some of our favorite moments to map: Where you first met or had your first date Where you got engaged Where you were married Where you met each of your bridesmaids Where you bought your first home Where you had a baby Where you graduated Where you purchased a business Where you grew up Where your long-distance significant other or best friend lives
Possibly one of the most significant reminders of our cherished memories is the place where they happened: the town, church, or school; our special restaurant, park, or coffee shop; that little starter home, that hospital maternity ward, the tiny storefront where you took an entrepreneurial leap. The list is as varied as it is personal. One powerful way to memorialize these milestones is to capture them in precious metal and diamond, two of earth’s everlasting materials, and shape them into beautifully crafted mementos as jewelry that can be daily physical reminders of what matters most — embodiments of the eternal in an otherwise fast-moving, ever-changing life. Honor the road taken with something precious and everlasting. When A. Jaffe came out with their Maps collection, it quickly became a sensation, and thousands of people have since marked thousands of moments.Don’t miss your opportunity to make your mark and make it last. I personally gave my wife a pendant for Christmas with a little diamond on the corner of Canal and Broadway — the location of our first home together — the place I proposed, where our daughter was born, and so many of life’s firsts happened for us. I took advantage of the opportunity to add an inscription on the back that reads, “ The beginning of everything that matters. ” That was few years ago now, but it is still the most prized piece in her collection.
