Warmest personal greetings,

As we look forward to gathering again with friends and family, we would like to thank you, our customers and friends, for your support and encouragement during this past year. Many of you reached out to us for help with a special gift to celebrate an occasion. Some of you just called to check in on us and see if we were okay. I do not think we can ever say thank you enough and tell you how grateful we are for your loyal support of our family business. At Fredric Rubel Jewelers, we are fortunate to be part of your celebrations and special occasions. So, this year we decided to celebrate in a big way with our first springtime edition of Fredric Rubel Magazine . The last twelve months have felt very strange to all of us, and yet many of you came into our stores or reached out to us for guidance with a special gift for mom, dad, or a graduate. Several of you decided to get engaged only to put your weddings on hold until everyone could celebrate together. We feel like this is the perfect time to send you our magazine as you anticipate your celebrations. We hope that you will be inspired by our collection of fine jewelry and timepieces. Our stores will be having two special showings the week prior to Mother’s Day. From April 30th through May 9th, we will feature the jewelry collections from designers Penny Preville and Monica Rich-Kosann. With Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, and Graduation just around the corner, we hope you will be inspired to gather again with family and friends to celebrate life’s special occasions. If you have a chance, please stop into one of our two locations to view all our beautiful jewelry and timepieces. We love being part of your special celebrations and helping you make them memorable.

With gratitude,

The Rubel Family

ADORN HER IN RUBY RED There’s no arguing that every woman deserves at least one ruby in her jewelry box. The ruby is a lustrous, deep red stone that has carried a symbolic meaning of love and passion through the ages, making it one of the most heirloom-worthy gemstones out there. In fact, the ruby is so exceptional that Roberto Coin incorporates a tiny stone into each of his pieces, to hold a special meaning for all who wear it.

EXQUISITE EMERALDS Kwiat seeks out the purest, most deeply-colored emeralds on earth, sustainably and ethically sourced from the Muzo and Chivor mines in Colombia. Their dark green hue comes from a combination of scarce elements that can only be found in these mines — a color so prized that often these emeralds are more valuable than diamonds of equal weight. Each is completely unique thanks to the distinctive inclusions that are a characteristic of all emeralds.

LOVE IN VERONA OBERTO COIN COLLECTION

In Verona, Italy, love is everywhere. Popularly known as Romeo and Juliet’s city, Verona is the inspirational birthplace for Roberto Coin’s Love in Verona collection. In this new collection, the jewels continue the thread that connects Roberto Coin to historical and passionate cities throughout Italy. Now, you, too, can take your lover on another Italian city tour with each piece in the Verona collection. At the heart of every Robert Coin collection is a beautiful and intriguing Italian story. His designs have taken us across the Portofino’s Mediterranean villages, shown us the majestic beauty of Roman palaces, and walked us through the narrow alleyways of Venice. Now, Roberto Coin is continuing our journey to yet another lover’s paradise, found only in the city of Verona. Still, his inspirations don’t stop with his fascinations of the city; they also capture the heart and soul of a special woman’s club: The Juliet Club. Founded in 1930, this select group of women read and answer every love letter that arrives and is addressed to Shakespeare’s Juliet. Each note tells the story of love, heartbreak, or desire and is responded to with the utmost thought and consideration. Just like Roberto Coin, this group takes their calling seriously, dedicating their lives to spreading the love of the Italian city across the globe. These letters are then archived and cared for with love out of respect for each note’s author. Robert Coin captures this dedication to love perfectly in every facet of his newest designs. Each adornment in the Verona collection considers a woman’s elegance, inner beauty, and innermost desires and passions. Love in Verona strikes that perfect balance between classic and contemporary style, a testament to Roberto Coin’s thorough design process that has turned taste and experimentation into style and innovation, capturing the eye of jewelry lovers and admirers around the world.

“FASHION IS CHANGEABLE — IT IS WHIMSICAL. STYLE IS NOT. STYLE IS PART OF US, OF OUR LIFE, IN EVERY MOMENT AND EVERY EXPRESSION.” ~ROBERTO COIN.

Roberto Coin combines his technological prowess with time-honored craftsmanship to create the new Verona collection. The four-petaled floral motif repeats in diamonds and in engraving, even reappearing in the gallery of each piece, as a reminder of our inner beauty. The Verona collection also continues Roberto Coin’s dedication to different cultures and multi-ethnic influences, echoing the importance of the past and the predictions of the future. To many, the repetition of the four-petaled floral motif

throughout each piece mirrors the same pattern found in the Arena of Verona, an architectural symbol of the city. This floral motif has become a cornerstone of the brand, evoking the medieval Century’s passion and exquisiteness. Throughout the Verona collection, you’ll find hand-crafted pieces with emeralds, rubies, diamonds, or sapphires sent in 18K yellow, white, and rose gold. Subtle yet bold, the Love in Verona collection will match her style, fuel her soul, touch her heart, and drive her desire to love and be loved.

THE NEW ROLEX SKY-DWELLER WITH OYSTERFLEX BRACELET COMFO T EXTREME

Originally launched in 2012, The Sky- Dweller is now fitted for the first time with the Oysterflex bracelet, which debuted to great acclaim in 2015 on the Yacht-Master and appeared on the Daytona in 2017. This is the first time the bracelet has been applied to a watch outside the professional sport range and the first time it has been used on the Sky-Dweller, debuting on the 18k yellow gold model. The Oysterflex may look like a rubber bracelet, but it is much more than that. It is made of a very soft, flexible elastomer with an internal cushion system that makes it extremely well fitting and comfortable. The elastomer is molded to fit over a flexible metal blade made of a titanium and nickel alloy, so you get the strength of metal and the comfort of rubber-like elastomer, along with a sporty look. The Rolex Glidelock on the Oysterflex bracelet has six notches of approximately 2.5 mm, allowing the bracelet length to be adjusted easily, up to some 15 mm.

THE 42 MM CASE CATCHES THE LIGHT LIKE A WELL-CUT DIAMOND

Rolex went a long way to make sure the Sky-Dweller with the Oysterflex bracelet is an extremely comfortable watch — easily worn while traveling — but it is also an extremely functional complication. It has a date window, with the signature Cyclops lens cover, and it is a dual timer, with a 24-hour second time zone for reference time on the inner dial ring. A clever month index is shown discreetly as a red square in a window behind each hour marker on the center dial. For example, January is represented by 1 o’clock, February by 2 o’clock, and so on. The border of each tiny opening is chamfered to perfection. The Sky-Dweller is equipped with the Ring Command system. This mechanism of interaction between the rotatable bezel, the winding crown, and the movement, developed and patented by Rolex, allows the user to select the watch’s functions one-by-one — calendar (date and month), local time, or reference time — by turning the fluted bezel counterclockwise by one, two, or three positions

respectively. The selected function can then be rapidly adjusted in either direction using the winding crown. The simple and intuitive Ring Command system is a complex mechanism consisting of around 50 components. Its design demanded state-of-the-art watchmaking and micromechanical expertise.At the heart of this system are a double cam and levers that engage various gear trains inside the movement, according to the function selected. One of these cams is activated by pulling out the winding crown; the other is driven by rotating the bezel to activate setting wheels located in the middle case of the watch. The movement, Rolex 9001, is one of the most complex calibers created by the brand. It features a blue Parachrom hairspring, 72-hour power reserve, and exceptional shock resistance and accuracy. The 42 mm case is yellow gold, with Rolex’s signature fluted bezel, which catches the light like a well-cut diamond.

THE GALAXY COLLECTION BY PENNY PREVILLE

The Galaxy collection was inspired by the cosmos and it’s make-up of mixed materials. The vastness of the celestial sky inspired Penny to create pieces that are organic, yet mystical. Clusters of diamonds and hand-etched starbursts are the signature design aesthetics in this collection. Each piece appears to twinkle as it catches & reflects the light, much like the mystifying galaxy. With the Galaxy collection, Penny Preville takes a different angle from her typical brushed finish by hand-etching each piece to give it a directional finish. Not only does this make each piece of jewelry unique, it also allows the gold to catch the light and give off that luxurious sheen that so many women have come to expect from their gold jewelry.

THE KWIAT BUILDING A BRILLIANT LEGACY FAMILY The Colombian Emerald, Marquise & Baguette Diamond Earrings with 10.14 carats of diamonds and 13.43 carats of Emeralds.

In a world of corporate luxury brands, those in the know appreciate the service and quality of an established family business guided by a heritage of integrity. Guided by these values, Kwiat has flourished, a blossoming that reflects the family name, which means “flower” in Polish. In 1907, Sam Kwiat opened a shop on Canal Street — the original New York City diamond district. His son David joined him in 1933 and dedicated himself to mastering the perfect diamond cut. In 1962 Kwiat moved to 47th street, a pioneer of the new international district for diamonds, supplying stones to iconic companies like Harry Winston and Tiffany & Co. Today, Kwiat has grown to a consumer brand led by Sam’s grandson and great-grandsons, who, like their forebears, have perfected the science and art of cutting diamonds. In fact, Kwiat’s standards for diamond cutting are the strictest in the world and exceed those set forth by the GIA. The family’s approach to diamond cutting is so particular that they have created an exclusive cut that embodies their proprietary technique: the Kwiat Tiara ® cut diamond, which looks bigger and brighter than other round brilliant diamonds of the same carat weight.
