Ashley Davis Sigman and Hank Davis
Dear Friends,
This has been a year unlike any other. We have all had our own unique experiences. We’ve faced the fear and uncertainty that has come with loss; loss of loved ones, of jobs, of life as we know it. While this is a year I’m sure many of us are happy to forget, it’s never felt more important to hold dear what matters—the people in our lives who helped us find strength—and focus not on loss, but on love. This year, it is underscored how lucky we feel to be in an industry that focuses on life’s happiest moments: celebrating love and relationships of all kinds. It’s times like these we’ll look back on and cherish deeply those who were there for us: our family, our dearest friends, and those who we couldn’t imagine life without.
Wishing you peace and happiness. Warmly,
Hank Davis & Ashley Davis Sigman

spotlight CELEBRATING 20 OF COILS YEARS MARCO BICEGO’S COLLECTIONS ARE PURE MAGIC, AND HIS INSPIRATION FOR EACH PIECE COMES FROM SOME OF THE MOST UNLIKELY PLACES. FOR YEARS, THE GOLD COIL HAS BEEN AN INSTRUMENTAL PART OF MARCO’S COLLECTIONS, AND IT ALL HAPPENED BY ACCIDENT.

N
early 20 years ago, a machine broke down, causing a gold chain to spiral. Rather than scrap the gold to make something
new, Marco seized the opportunity to master the technique and turn it into what is now one of his signature collections, including one of his first collections, Marrakech. To this day, the Marrakech remains one of Marco’s favorite collections. Globally, the coil technique and designs that Marco creates have made his brand recognizable, and no other jeweler has come close to duplicating his pieces. “I am very attached to the process of wounding the wire that we call ‘Spirale’ (coil). My entrepreneurial and design journey starts with coils. The coil has become a symbol of my company, a thread that leads back home.”

The Marrakech Onde Collection — SAME COIL, NEW TWIST This year marks the 20th anniversary for the brand, and Marco Bicego is putting a new twist on the beloved coil through the new fall collection: Marrakech Onde. “It is a new, different, and contemporary collection. The main element is our signature light 18k yellow gold coil deliberately shaped into irregular ovals and embellished with diamond pavé.” Marrakech Onde is taken straight from the DNA of the brand and features a modern interpretation of the classic link. The simplicity and sophistication behind each piece means there are a number of combinations that can be worn.
Like all of his other collections, the Marrakech Onde features a timeless design and is made for everyday luxury. Every woman’s unique style brings new life to the Marco Bicego brand, complementing her glowing inner beauty on the outside.

REDEFINES CLASSIC DESIGN DAVID YURMAN David Yurman is known for creating jewelry that is dramatic, yet simple and organic. It moves with the body, it is proportioned for the body, and it makes a statement about the way jewelry can be used to reflect the beautiful forms that surround us in everyday life. The Starburst collection, with its dramatic bursts of light, is a perfect example of the designer’s ability to translate his talents as a sculptor, and the Helena collection is a celebration of the signature Cable motif from the 1980s.
David Yurman Sterling silver and diamond Starburst Collection Y necklace. $1,600
The Starburst collection has romantic origins. The inspiration came about while David Yurman and his wife Sybil were watching fireworks illuminate the Paris night sky. The magical bursts of light showering the Eiffel Tower and Tuileries Gardens greatly moved the couple, inspiring David to create designs of brilliant star motifs. The collection explodes with bursts of gold and silver, accented with diamonds. Ethereal golden rays set with diamonds radiate out from the center as three-dimensional objects that seem to be in the midst of exploding.A Starburst bangle, earrings, or a pendant with stations of small motifs along the chain adds just the right touch of drama, conjuring images of fireworks, planets, or stars in the night sky.

The Helena collection is more classic. It is a celebration of David Yurman’s signature motif, the woven gold Cable design that debuted in 1983 and has since become iconic. In this collection, golden threads punctuated with hand-set pavé diamonds wrap around the cable strands like ribbons, adding extra dimension and sparkle to the timeless design. Now offered in narrower, more petite silhouettes, each Helena piece is engineered to be light in weight yet crafted with the same artisanal quality as the original Cable bracelet created nearly 40 years ago. As with all of his designs, your body is the muse for this season’s David Yurman collections. They are created through the eyes of a sculptor, inspired by love, and meant to adorn you with all the care and craft that goes into a work of art.

JOHN HARDY
APPLIES ANCIENT CRAFTSMANSHIP
TO MODERN JEWELRY John Hardy is celebrating a black and white palette with a splash of gold in a new collection of statement pieces this season within the Classic Chain collection. The striking feature of the new pieces is the dramatic hammered finish on the metal surface, which evokes the elusive play of shadow and light. The finishing on the pieces combines the union of three signature John Hardy techniques: lava pavé setting, Classic Chain motif, and hand-hammered metals using the Palu technique.

The lava pavé setting is inspired by Bali’s sinuous lava flows. It showcases an artistic curation of cuts, shapes, sizes, and exotic gradients that evoke the raw power of nature. Palu is the time-honored Balinese art of hand-hammering metal to produce a lustrous textured surface. Traditionally performed by Balinese artisans, the metal is heated and hammered to produce small dips within the metal that catch and refract light. The surface treatment was originally inspired by the sailboats in Bali, an example of the influence of local culture on the John Hardy collection.

WHAT IT TAKES TO MAKE THE
AHISTORYOFROLEX ADVENTURE WATCHES AND THE MATERIALS THAT MAKE THEM GREAT WORLD’S MOST RELIABLE
SPORTS WATCHES
Rolex is the original action watch and has long been associated with adventure. Rolex watches have survived the most extreme conditions, from the highest summits to the deepest recesses of the ocean. Climb Mount Everest? Check. Submerge into the depths of the Mariana Trench? Check. The world of Rolex is a world that calls for robust watches — even fictional worlds have touted the watch — the original James Bond timepiece was a Rolex. Since it was founded in 1905, the company has filed over 500 patents. It is credited with inventing the world’s first waterproof wristwatch and the world’s first self-winding mechanism, the perpetual rotor. First came the water resistance. The Oyster Perpetual collection, with hermetically sealed cases, was built on the success of the original Oyster model, patented by Rolex and launched in 1926. As the maker of the world’s first waterproof wristwatch, Rolex played a pioneering role in the development of the modern timepiece. In 1927, it was worn by British swimmer Mercedes Gleitze during her historic swim across the English Channel. The swim lasted over 10 hours, and the watch remained in perfect working order. In 1931, Rolex invented and patented the world’s first self-winding mechanism with a Perpetual rotor, which is today at the heart of every modern automatic watch. The first expedition to fly over Everest, in 1933, was equipped with Rolex Oysters, and 20 years later, Sir John Hunt’s expedition, in which Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay reached the summit of Mount Everest, was equipped with Oyster Perpetuals. In 1960, the experimental bathyscaphe, the Trieste, successfully descended into the Mariana Trench, the deepest known depression on the Earth’s surface. Emerging from 10,916 meters (37,800 feet), the bathyscaphe was in perfect working order — as was the Rolex Deep Sea Special experimental watch that had been attached to the outside during the historic dive.

HERE ARE SOME OF THE EXCLUSIVE MATERIALS THAT GO INTO A ROLEX WATCH: OYSTERSTEEL : This is 904L grade steel, a superalloy used in the aerospace and chemical industries, and that means it has the corrosion resistance and high polish of precious metals. It also has a high sheen, so it looks good for a long time. EVEROSE GOLD: To preserve the beauty of its pink gold watches, in 2005 Rolex created and patented a new alloy that it casts in its own foundry: Everose gold, which owes its unique color — a pink hue unlike any other — to its composition. PLATINUM: Rolex uses 950 platinum, an alloy consisting of 95 percent pure platinum generally combined with ruthenium. At Rolex, platinum is above all used for the Day-Date, the most prestigious watch in the Oyster collection. The practiced eye immediately recognizes a Day-Date or Daytona with an ice blue dial as a platinum model.
Day-Date 40 mm, in platinum.
ROLESOR: Rolesor is the story of the auspicious meeting of two materials on a single Rolex watch: the juxtaposition of gold and steel with their contrasting colors and radiance, in subtly balanced harmony. The name Rolesor was patented by Rolex in 1933, and has become one of the distinctive elements of the brand’s watches, a true Rolex signature. The bezel, winding crown, and center bracelet links are made of 18k yellow or Everose gold, and the middle case and the outer links of the bracelet are made of Oystersteel. CERACHROM: Developed and patented by Rolex, these components are made from particularly hard ceramics that are virtually impervious to scratches. Their colors are unaffected by ultraviolet rays. Thanks to its chemical composition, the high-tech ceramic cannot corrode. CHROMALIGHT: Rolex’s luminescent material, Chromalight is blue by night, bright white by day, providing high visibility in dark environments.

ROLEX’S EXCEPTIONAL BRACELETS INCLUDE:
JUBILEE BRACELET: The supple five-piece links on dressy watches and some sport watches, such as the GMT-Master II. It was originally designed for the Datejust in 1945.
OYSTER BRACELET: The larger, flat, three-piece links make for a simpler, sportier look. PRESIDENT BRACELET: The President uses semi-circular three-piece links, originally created in 1956 for the Day- Date. It is always made of carefully selected precious metals. OYSTERFLEX BRACELET: Made of a very soft, flexible elastomer with an internal cushion system that makes it extremely well fitting and comfortable. The bracelet is fitted over a metal blade made of a titanium and nickel alloy, achieving the strength of metal and the comfort of rubber.

ROLEX ICONIC MODELS TIMELINE:
1945: The Datejust, the first selfwinding wrist chronometer to indicate the date in a window on the dial. 1953: The Submariner, the first diver’s watch waterproof to a depth of 100 meters (330 feet). Its rotatable bezel allows divers to read their immersion time. 1953: The Oyster Perpetual Explorer was launched in 1953 to celebrate the victorious ascent of Mount Everest. 1955: The GMT-Master, with its famous two-color bezel. 1956: The Day-Date, with its now-iconic President bracelet. 1956: The Oyster Perpetual Milgauss was created to meet the demands of the scientific community. It remains capable of withstanding magnetic fields of up to 1,000 gauss. 1963: The Cosmograph Daytona quickly became the ultimate tool for endurance racing drivers.
Oyster Perpetual Datejust 36 in white Rolesor features an aubergine, diamond-set dial and an Oyster bracelet.
