LUXE LIBATIONS

THE ESPRESSO MARTINI Where Energy Meets Elegance

The espresso martini is having its moment, and for good reason. This sophisticated cocktail has transcended its 1980s origins to become the drink of choice for those who want to extend their evening without sacrificing style. From upscale lounges to intimate dinner parties, the espresso martini bridges the gap between afternoon energy and evening elegance. This irresistible cocktail is the perfect balance of rich espresso, smooth vodka,

and coffee liqueur, topped with a velvety foam that’s as photogenic as it is delicious. The drink delivers a gentle caffeine boost while maintaining the refined character of a classic cocktail, making it ideal for transi- tioning from dinner to a night out. The beauty of the espresso martini lies in its versatility. Bartenders are elevating the classic recipe with premium ingredients like single-origin espresso, artisanal coffee liqueurs, and creative garnishes of coffee

beans or chocolate shavings. Some add a touch of vanilla or hazelnut, while others experiment with cold brew concentrations for deeper flavor profiles. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion at Calabasas Commons or hosting an elegant gathering at home, the espresso martini adds a touch of modern sophistication. Pair it with statement jewelry for an evening that’s unforgettable from every angle.

DESIGNER SPOTLIGHT

A Visionary in the Art of Jewelry ROBERTO COIN

For Roberto Coin, fine jewelry is not just an accessory but an expression of artistry, culture, and individuality. Since founding his brand in 1996, Coin has dedicated himself to creating pieces that transcend time, bringing Italian craftsmanship and global inspiration together in a way that has captivated the luxury world. From the beginning, diversity and creativity have been at the heart of his vision. Unlike other designers who build their brand around a single recognizable motif, Coin has always sought endless reinvention, ensuring that no two collections feel the same. His mission is clear: rather than offering the same piece to every woman, his goal is to craft a different masterpiece for each, celebrating the unique beauty and personality of the wearer.

This philosophy extends beyond design and into the very DNA of his brand. Each creation is marked by a hidden ruby, a signature detail inspired by ancient Egyptian legend. Coin was drawn to the belief that rubies, worn close to the skin, bring prosperity and happiness. That is his personal wish for every woman who wears his jewelry — an intimate, unseen gesture of good fortune.

Some designers create jewelry. Others redefine it.

24 | POLACHECK’S JEWELERS MAGAZINE

Pairing these philosophies and creations, Coin manages to balance tradition and innovation, making his brand one of the most dynamic forces in modern jewelry. At his Italian atelier, master artisans — some with decades of experience, others with fresh, modern perspectives — work side by side to bring his visions to life. Their process is one of meticulous craftsman- ship, where time-honored techniques merge with cutting-edge advancements to create jewelry that is both timeless and groundbreaking. Beyond the world of jewelry, Coin is recognized as a pioneering spirit in fashion and design. His collections have graced the red carpet, appeared on the pages of

top luxury publications, and influenced trends across the industry. Yet, despite his global recognition, his approach remains deeply personal. Every piece tells a story — a reflection of his own endless curiosity and passion for the arts.

FOR ROBERTO COIN, CREATIVITY IS FREEDOM, AND JEWELRY IS MORE

THAN JUST AN ADORNMENT — IT IS A STATEMENT OF IDENTITY. WITH AN EVER-EVOLVING VISION AND AN UNRELENTING DRIVE TO SURPRISE, HE CONTINUES TO SHAPE THE FUTURE OF LUXURY, ONE MASTERPIECE AT A TIME.

EXOTIC ELECTRIC

Instead of a rip-snorting turbocharged V-10, the Lanzador will be powered by two electric motors that will pump out over 1,300 horsepower, making it the most potent car in Lamborghini’s history. With an electric motor on each axle, all-wheel drive will be standard. The motor mounted on the rear axle simulates a limited-slip differential, aiding handling during cornering. Slipping into the interior feels like dropping into the cockpit of a fighter jet. There are individual digital displays for the driver and front-seat passenger, a high center console that flows into the dashboard, and a flattened steering wheel. From the steering wheel, the driver accesses the driving dynamics control system, Lamborghini Dinamica Veicolo Integrata (LDVI), which allows the driver to modulate the active control systems according to the prevailing driving conditions. LANZADOR Early announcements for the Lanzador feature a high-ground-clearance coupé that retains Lamborghini’s signature mid-engined proportions. However, the lack of a massive engine means there’s room for rear seats and a usefully large rear cargo area. There’s even a spacious “frunk” under the front hood.

34 | POLACHECK’S JEWELERS MAGAZINE

LEAVE IT TO LAMBORGHINI TO TURN THE DIAL UP TO 11. THE VENERABLE ITALIAN CARMAKER, KNOWN FOR ITS WILD DESIGNS LIKE THE COUNTACH, HURÁCAN, AND REVUELTO, HAS ANNOUNCED PLANS FOR THE LANZADOR, A FULLY ELECTRIC FOUR-SEATER.

Active aerodynamics regulate the flow of air from front to rear, maximizing aerodynamic efficiency across different driving modes. These driving modes can be selected via the Lamborghini ANIMA control. Opting for Efficiency provides optimal driving dynamics, the Urban mode extends the range, and the Performance mode generates increased downforce. The steerable rear axle and air suspension enable the Lanzador to adapt seamlessly to any surface and respond to the driver’s defined settings. So far, Lamborghini has not released performance specs for the production car. However, expect the capability of face- melting acceleration. COMING SOON

For Lanzador represents a fourth model concept, the Ultra GT, supporting its decarbonization and electrification strategy. While it seems like a departure from a company known for its exotic sports cars, the Lanzador is a return to Lamborghini’s earliest designs. The first front-engine coupés from Lamborghini — the 350 and 400 GT — were sporty, elegant Gran Turismos suitable for everyday use, featuring 2+2 seating. Lamborghini, the In addition to the zero-emissions drivetrain, sustainability is woven into the Lanzador’s DNA. Sustainable materials, primarily sourced from Italy, are found throughout the interior appointments, both visible and behind the scenes.

Luxurious Merino wool dresses the dashboard, seats, and door panels. Colored thread is made of recycled materials, including nylon and plastic. Non-visible plastics, such as the foam sports seats, are made from 3D-printed recycled fibers. The integrated carbon fiber components, such as the center console and door panels, are crafted from new, two-layer composite material using regenerated carbon. Sustainable leather is tanned using special water left over from olive oil production that would otherwise have to be treated due to its high acidity and antimicrobial and phytotoxic effects. However, the residual water can be re- processed into tanning agents.

Why a Diamond Watch Is the Smartest Accessory You Can Own Why a Diamond Watch Is the Smartest Accessory You Can Own BY GRANT MOBLEY TIME FOR DIAMONDS

A Le Unl occas diamo your i diamo Earth mere The to be or a fe subtly and p Diam It’s come offer s partic acces typica Ma more these high- of nat

BY GRANT MOBLEY

Among all the pieces of fine jewelry a person might own, few are as versatile, enduring and personally significant as a great watch. It’s more than a timekeeper—it’s a daily companion, a style statement, and often a symbol of personal accomplishment. And when set with natural diamonds, a watch becomes something far greater: a wearable legacy. Diamond watches have always held a place among connoisseurs, but today they’re gaining traction with a broader audience who understand that luxury doesn’t have to be loud—and that a diamond watch is as much an investment as it is a fashion statement. When crafted with natural diamonds, these timepieces offer not only beauty but also intrinsic value, rarity, and permanence.

50 | POLACHECK’S JEWELERS MAGAZINE

A Legacy You Wear Every Day Unlike many pieces of fine jewelry reserved for special occasions, a luxury watch, especially one adorned with natural diamonds, is designed for everyday wear. It becomes part of your identity, something you reach for instinctively. And because diamonds are one of the oldest and rarest natural materials on Earth, incorporating them into your watch elevates it from a mere accessory to a true heirloom. The beauty of a diamond watch? It doesn’t need to be flashy to be impactful. A delicate diamond bezel, diamond hour markers or a few perfectly placed stones on the case or bracelet can subtly enhance a classic design while adding enduring value and personal meaning. Diamond Watches Are More Attainable Than You Think It’s a common misconception that diamond watches must come with six-figure price tags. Many respected luxury brands offer stunning diamond-set models at accessible price points, particularly in the pre-owned market. Unlike most fashion accessories, a well-made diamond watch from a top-tier brand typically retains, or even increases, its value over time. Many pre-owned Swiss brands, for example, often sell for more today than they did when brand new. In many cases, these timepieces appreciate in value due to limited production, high-quality craftsmanship and, of course, the enduring appeal of natural diamonds.

How to Choose the Right Diamond Watch When shopping for a diamond watch, there are a few key things consider: Craftsmanship: Stick with reputable watchmakers. Look for automatic or mechanical movements, sapphire crystals, and cases made of stainless steel or precious metals. Provenance: If buying pre-owned, shop through trusted resellers to ensure authenticity and condition. Design: Choose something that suits your style but also feels timeless. A little diamond sparkle goes a long way, ensuring that even decades from now, your watch still turns heads. Final Thoughts A diamond watch isn’t just a luxury; it’s a wearable memory, a symbol of success and a future heirloom. In a world of fast fashion and fleeting trends, few accessories offer the same blend of artistry, function, and emotional resonance. Choose wisely, and you’ll find it’s not just a watch—it’s a legacy on your wrist.

CAT-EYE NECKLINES The cat-eye neckline is defined by the sharp and angular edges pointing up towards the shoulders. Haute couture dresses for formalwear and now bridalwear are dominating the modern bride scene. Paired with the basque waist, it offers drama, sexiness, and comes off as powerful and confident as it stunningly highlights the arms and shoulders.

BASQUE WAISTS What is old can be new again! The Victorian era of the 1800s has always influenced today’s designers, but the onslaught of basque waistlines currently in vogue — characterized by their V or U shape coming to a point below the natural waistline — elongate the body beautifully and elegantly.

TUDOR

INTRODUCES NEW BLACK BAY MODELS

The Black Bay line has become one of Tudor’s most recognizable pillars, known for pairing tool-watch durability with vintage design cues. This year, Tudor expands the collection with new models that build on the Black Bay’s signature aesthetic while pushing it in new directions — some subtle, others more daring. Rooted in Tudor’s dive watch history from the 1950s and the “Snowflake” hands of 1969, the Black Bay line draws from history while embracing modern materials and manufacturing. Whether you prefer compact cases or bolder builds, GMT functionality or clean time-only layouts, the new Black Bays prove there’s no single formula for a modern classic. The Black Bay 68 is the largest model yet, boasting a 43 mm case and METAS certification. The Black Bay 58 returns in all-burgundy with a Master Chronometer movement. The Black Bay Pro gets a crisp opaline dial for improved contrast. The Black Bay Chrono “Carbon 25” highlights motorsport heritage with a carbon fiber case. And the Black Bay 54 “Lagoon Blue” offers a fresh water-inspired dial in a compact 37 mm case. Each Black Bay is water-resistant to 200 meters and powered by a Tudor manufacture movement, rigorously tested and built to last. It’s a line that is designed for all wrists, all seasons, and all types of collectors.

SPARKLING ESSENTIALS

must-haves diamond 5 BIG

There’s nothing quite like a diamond: that scintillating, bright white shine that lights up both your smile and your look. Select a diamond of different size or style and it can take you from the grocery store to a night on the town, from a board meeting to the school drop-off lane. But which dazzling diamond delights do you need to have waiting in your jewelry box for any situation? Here are the five essential diamond must-haves. Diamond studs are many collectors’ first serious piece of jewelry, and for good reason — this standout staple is perfect for so many situations! Smaller studs are just the thing for everyday errands and low-key occasions, but scale up the size and you’ve got immediate glamour, appropriate

to pair with the fanciest necklace or gown. Because why should your earlobes ever be boring when you could throw on a pair of diamond studs? A diamond tennis bracelet is the perfect place to start your wristwear collection: a captivating neutral to garland your arm in shimmering stones. But why stop at just one? A tennis bracelet is the perfect complement for a fine timepiece, stack of gold bangles, or colorful bracelets of any style. A diamond tennis bracelet will elevate anything next to it, and the effect only intensifies if you add multiple tennis bracelets at once!

WHY SHOULD YOUR EARLOBES EVER BE BORING WHEN YOU COULD THROW ON A PAIR OF DIAMOND STUDS?

Hoop earrings are the ideal choice when you need your diamond earwear to have a little more structure than studs. Any face looks instantly luminous when framed in two twinkling arcs of diamonds! Choose snug little diamond huggies for more casual moods or elegant, elongated hoops when you really want to add dimension and bring the bling.

LIKE A CAPTIVE STAR YOU CAN WEAR

A classic diamond pendant feels like a captive star that you can wear at your clavicle, a bite-sized taste of brilliance tamed and made your very own. Enjoy the sparkle solo by wearing it on its own or pair it with more diamond necklaces, your favorite sentimental charms, or even pretty pops of gorgeous gemstone color for a layered look. For even more versatility, try wearing your diamond pendant on chains of different lengths!

A tennis necklace is a timeless staple in any jewelry collection, offering the perfect balance of elegance and versatility. With its continuous line of sparkling diamonds, it can elevate everyday style just as effortlessly as it completes a formal look. Whether worn alone for a sleek, refined statement or layered with other necklaces for a modern edge, the tennis necklace is a piece that transcends trends. Its enduring design makes it not only a symbol of sophistication but also a meaningful investment; one that will remain a cherished favorite for years to come.

GIVING BACK

COSTA RICA CHARITY

During our time in Costa Rica, we had the opportunity to volunteer at a local elementary school. Together, we helped refresh the campus with a new coat of paint, provided classrooms with new whiteboard screens, and donated books to support the students’ learning. It was a meaningful experience to give back and be part of the school community.

Holistic

The pursuit of beauty is now intrinsically linked to a holistic approach to wellness. It goes beyond surface appearances into nurturing our bodies and minds with intention, embracing a lifestyle that prioritizes health, and minimizing exposure to harsh chemicals. It’s a philosophy that’s come to encompass every facet of daily routines. While still evolving in its definition, the “clean” ethos centers around minimizing potentially harmful ingredients, such as parabens, phthalates, sulfates, and synthetic fragrances. It’s a commitment to choosing products and practices that support wellbeing and the planet’s health. This mindful approach extends to nutrition, fitness, and even mental and emotional equilibrium. Embracing a clean lifestyle is a journey, not a destination. Here are some ways to cultivate a more holistic and chemical- free existence, along with some carefully curated product recommendations: NOURISHMENT FROM WITHIN Prioritize Whole Foods : Focus on consuming a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins. This provides the essential nutrients your body needs to thrive, naturally enhancing both inner and outer beauty.

Hydration Is Key: Drink plenty of water throughout the day to keep skin plump and hydrated from within. Consider adding lemon or cucumber for extra electrolytes. SKINCARE, SIMPLIFIED Minimalist Approach : Less is often more when it comes to skincare. Focus on a few high-quality products with clean formulations, tailored to your specific needs. Look for brands that prioritize transparency and sustainable sourcing. True Botanicals: The Pure Radiance Oil ($120) remains a cult favorite, delivering potent botanical nourishment. Tata Harper : The Resurfacing Mask ($68) offers a gentle yet effective exfoliation for a radiant glow. Josh Rosebrook : For sensitive skin, the Hydrating Accelerator ($38) provides a gentle boost of hydration. MAKEUP MADE MINDFULLY ILIA : The Super Serum Skin Tint SPF 40 ($48) provides sheer coverage, hydration, and sun protection in a clean formula. RMS Beauty: Known for their “living ingredients,” RMS Beauty offers a range of natural and organic makeup products, like their UnCoverup Concealer/ Foundation ($40).

Victoria Beckham Beauty : Blending high-performance formulations with clean ingredients and sustainable packaging, this line, co-created by the style icon herself, proves that glamour and conscious living can coexist. The Satin Matte Bronzing Brick (from $46) imparts a natural sun-kissed warmth. BODY & MIND CONNECTION Movement Matters : Incorporate regular exercise into your routine, whether it’s yoga, Pilates, or simply a brisk walk in nature. Mindful Moments : Practice mindfulness or meditation to cultivate inner peace and reduce stress. The resulting complexion radiance is just a bonus. HOME SANCTUARY Clean Home, Clean Living : Opt for natural cleaning products free from harsh chemicals. Sustainable Choices : Reduce your environmental footprint by choosing products with minimal packaging and opting for reusable alternatives whenever possible.
