Limited Edition

World’s most valuable timepiece disappears In 1933, the most important watch ever built was engineered for a quiet millionaire collector named Henry Graves. Recently this ultrarare, multi-function masterpiece was auctioned off by Sotheby’s for the record price of $11,030,000. Now the watch is locked away in a private vault in an unknown location. We believe that a classic like this should be available to true watch afficionados so Stauer replicated the Graves design in the limited edition Graves ‘33.

The antique enameled face with four interior dials is faithful to the original vintage design. We replicated an extremely complicated early automatic movement with 27 jewels and seven hands. Many fine 27-jewel automatics today are priced well over $2,000 but you can enter the rarified world of fine watch collecting for under $200. Now you can wear a millionaire’s watch, but still keep your millions in your vest pocket. Fits wrists 6 ½" to 9".

New! The great train robbery

You Say the Darndest Things It’s easy to get carried away in the details of what we do. There are plenty of complications when it comes to shopping and traveling around the world, watching the precious metal market and following the fickle tastes of high fashion. We have to deal with gem dealers, watch designers and an inventory that literally consists of 10 million moving parts. But no matter how hectic things get, I’ll always make time to read. Your letters, emails, online reviews and Facebook comments remind us what’s truly important. Feedback matters. It helps us remember that every piece of jewelry is so much more than the sum of its parts. On paper, a ring might be listed as five carats of DiamondAura set in .925 sterling silver. But in life, out of the box, that ring is the anniversary gift that moves someone to tears. One watch might be described as a Swiss-Made movement inside a stainless steel case. But on the wrist, that same watch is an emotional reminder of the father who wore one just like it.

Online shopping made easy Looking for even more Stauer gifts this year? Visit us at our new and improved Stauer.com website. You’ll find the entire Stauer jewelry, watch and handbag collections. Quick, easy online shopping is just a click away. www.STAUER.com

New! These earrings hear everything A.

In the midst of dinner and lively conversation, a trusted advisor leans close into the ear of Queen Elizabeth I. He speaks and she nods quietly. Is it news of a secret plot? Stirrings of war? Or plans for a midnight rendezvous? Nobody knows for sure, save the aide, the Queen and her majesty’s earrings. Earrings hear everything. They hear the soft whispers of sweet nothings. Tender moments. Passionate confessions. Earrings get the best gossip and the deepest secrets. It’s a good thing they can’t talk. But we like to imagine what they would say if they could. You can rest assured that our 2 ½" Ruby & Aquamarine Drop Earrings aren’t saying a word. Your deepest secrets are safe. Crafted in the style and spirit of elegant, Tudor-era jewelry, this pair of chandelier-style earrings looks borrowed from the velvetlined display of a museum. This type of geometric assortment of gems was a popular design during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I. Glamorous royals and women of means wore their hair up and fancied the dangling and dramatic when it came to accessories. Even though these Ruby & Aquamarine beauties look like they belong in royal portraits from the 17th-century, they still feel modern. Skilled setters position 2 genuine 15 carat emerald-cut enhanced rubies with oval and teardrop cabochons of aquamarine into rustic settings fused with 14K yellow gold. Extra-long French hooks clasp into place to ensure that the vintage-inspired beauties stay put. They’ll keep quiet...but no one else will.

Wear 15 carats of genuine sapphires for only $49—Limited time only

The 15 carat Mediterranée Sapphire Pendant is a steal at ONLY $49!

t’s 1:00pm in Calais France. The year is 1923. And the air is crisp and cool. You’re aboard the trendiest of transports, Le Train Bleu (The Blue Train), on your way to the Riviera. It glides gracefully along the scenic Ligne de Grande Ceinture just outside of Paris, picking up more of Europe’s elite as it loops The City of Lights. As the sun sets, you make your way to the dining car to enjoy a five-course meal of Haute cuisine. And then, it’s off to your sleeper. You’ll want to be well rested for the day of pampering that awaits you tomorrow... Or you can flash foward to today and let us pamper you here and now with a pendant that would have been right at home on that triumph of opulent turn-of-the-century travel: the 15 carat Mediterranée Sapphire Pendant for ONLY $49!

The ride of the refined. The Blue Train (so named because its sleeper cars were painted blue with gold trim), was an exclusively first class express night train, that catered to the ultra-wealthy. Notable passengers included, The Prince of Wales, Charlie Chaplin, and F. Scott Fitzgerald. But just being expensive doesn’t make something extraordinary. In fact, there’s plenty out there that’s affordable and incredible. As is the case with the Mediterranée. First class all the way. Taking a cue from that luxury locomotive, we designed the Mediterranée to be an absolute knockout in blue and gold. A genuine 15 carat faceted oval enhanced sapphire shimmers and shines like the sky above Paris on a clear day. The goldfused setting is full of dynamic detail, including an intricate pattern of twists and bends that flows around the impressive center stone. And the decorative bail boasts its own swirling sweetness with that same gold-clad glimmer.

All aboard! This is a rare opportunity. Sapphire pendants this spectacular don’t follow a fixed schedule. So we can’t be sure when more will arrive. And at ONLY $49.00, it’s likely our current supply will depart quickly. Mediterranée Sapphire Collection B. #21582 Pendant (15 ctw)—$199.00 $49.00 C. #21635 18" 5mm Gold-clad Woven Chain—$79.00

Swiss made under $200!

The night shift

Estate of the art

I was wide awake when I dreamed up the design for the Stauer Minuit. It was the middle of the night at the top of the world. My wife and I were celebrating in a hotel in the Swiss Alps overlooking Lake Lugano. The world was asleep and the stars seemed low enough to touch. I’ll never forget the view that night, an endless blue heaven speckled with stars. You don’t get to see that kind of sky in the big city. We stayed up to watch the sun rise through the mountains. Right away I missed the night.

Drawing inspiration from the manicured hand of a millionaire heiress, we’ve recreated an object of Art Deco desire for under $150!

Inspired by the mystery of late nights, the Stauer Minuit is an exceptional Swiss-Made timepiece in a category all its own. It took the designers months to get the look of this timepiece just right. If your favorite color is blue, here’s your chance to see it in a whole new way. Inside, the Minuit is driven by a precision Swiss quartz movement and crafted in Switzerland, home to the world’s noblest watchmaking traditions.

Swiss made

In honor of that perfect Alpine sky, we added sparkle to the metallic blue face with a trio of Austrian crystal rounds at the twelve, three and nine o’clock positions. Golden Roman numerals pop against the rich black of the outer dial and an easy-to-read date window sits at the six. The Stauer Minuit secures with a genuine black leather strap and gold-fused buckle. Even more impressive than its distinctive design is the price. A Swiss-Made timepiece for under $200? Thank your lucky stars. Fits wrists 6 ¾" - 8" A. #20033 Stauer Minuit Swiss-Made Timepiece—$495.00 $199.00 Save $296

New! Blush hour in Buenos Aires We had enough of the honking so we ditched the cab and set out to explore the city. I wantC. ed to wander down one of the more rustic streets in search of a strong coffee and maybe a curbside tango. But as luck would have it, we stepped out into the thick of the Recoleta. One of Buenos Aires’ most upscale neighborhoods, the Parisian-feeling Recoleta is full of five star hotels and the kind of jewelry stores that have to buzz you in. The kind of stores with armed guards who have absolutely no sense of humor and display cases full of great local work that you just can’t find anywhere else. And the star stone of those stores? The ravishing pink rhodochrosite. Our Recoleta Rhodochrosite Necklace was inspired by the brilliant, blush-colored stones on display that day in Buenos Aires. Affectionately known as the “Inca Rose,” the pink beauty is considered the unofficial national stone of Argentina. This 18” necklace joins dollops of smooth rhodochrosite with golden thread-wrapped links and gold-layered sterling silver. It’s flirty, passionate and as full of life as the city itself. Matching earrings hang from sterling French hooks and golden-wrapped links. Beautiful proof that life is more colorful south of the equator!

nce upon a time you needed an invitation to see a ring this magnificent. That’s because something so bold could only be found behind closed mansion doors on the fingers of America’s idle rich. It was the golden age of conspicuous consumption. During the 1930s, socialites ruled the New York City nightlife. They threw lavish private parties, dined with celebrities, and wallowed in opulence. It was an extravagant life of leisure that demanded time and money. Fortunately, they had plenty of both. You would have been hard-pressed to find a wallflower among the rich and racy women of high society. They preferred the undivided attention of the masses. And back then, there was no better way to get noticed than with a staggering piece of jewelry like the Astoria Art Deco DiamondAura® Ring. Demands a double take. With the Astoria, our designers have created a true object of Art Deco desire. The vintage look is unmistakable, a note-perfect recreation of the era’s signature sparkle, crafted with finely-worked sterling silver and our exclusive lab-created DiamondAura. A gorgeous round sits high at the center of the ornate setting, flanked by a half dozen tapered baguettes and 52 glittering, microset rounds. Thanks to science, the lab-created luster of DiamondAura flickers with even more fire and clarity than mined diamonds. That means your version of Art Deco decadence flashes even brighter than the stones once flaunted by the Princesses of Park Avenue. History repeats itself. It wasn’t just the rare stones that made those Art Deco treasures so valuable. The level of craftsmanship blurred the lines between accessory and art. You’ll find that each Astoria Ring stays true to the elegance of the originals. We’ve wasted no opportunity to embellish your ring with the sort of meticulous scrollwork and mille grain decoration often found in rings that sell for thousands more. Slip on the Astoria Ring and you can almost hear the sound of the swing band saxophone, the pop of champagne and the clink of martini glasses. The life of the party has officially arrived!

New! Paint the town pink 600 carats of Pink Jade

You’ve heard of the Big Apple and the Windy City. And of course if someone refers to the City of Lights, you know they mean Paris. But what about the Pink City? That name might be a little less familiar to you. No, it’s not a made up metropolis some fairy tale princess calls home. Believe it or not, it’s a real place—the beautiful Indian city called Jaipur. In the 18th century, Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II wanted a city built. But not just any city. He demanded a sweeping masterpiece of urban design to represent his status as the man in charge. And he wanted it to be pink, the color that (to him) best represented imperial power. So were his commands met? Most definitely. Jaipur is an incredible city, with a surprisingly modern pattern of streets and avenues. But the buildings are its most amazing feature. Singh ordered all of them to be color-washed in one consistent shade. And to this day, that pretty pink presentation remains.

Inspired by that famous facade, we created the beautiful Mohalla Necklace. Two hand-strung strands of polished, dyed jade droplets stroll the 18" length of the piece, shining with a bright pink you might find in the lingering light of a sunset. Gold toned, beaded spacers add shimmer, while the 2" extender and toggle clasp that closes the necklace reflect with that same golden brilliance. Put on this necklace and you’re guaranteed to be tickled pink!

Take home the most romantic color of the season with genuine leaves dipped in luxurious 24K gold!

Long live heavy metal I love precious metals. Honestly I do. But sometimes when designing a piece of men’s jewelry, I crave something tougher, something less...precious. Once I found tungsten, it was love at first sight. But not that sappy, romantic kind of love where you hear birds chirping and harps playing. I heard music, but it was more like heavy metal guitar. Crunching riffs and thundering drums. Any chirping birds were drowned out by the sounds of bullets, explosions and rockets. Maybe I’m getting carried away, but that’s just what happens when you fall in love. Seriously, where has this metal been all my life? Named for the old Swedish word for “heavy stone,” tungsten is four times harder than titanium and 71% denser than lead. It’s so tough that when they need to cut it and polish it they have to use diamonds...the hardest substance on Earth! It’s the very same metal that goes into armor-piercing ammunition and the fuel nozzles of skyscraper-sized rockets. Can it handle a life of luxury? Of course. Even as a polished piece of fine jewelry it remains an overachiever. Unlike other fine metals, the spectacular polish and shine will never dull. And if you’re a fan of wide men’s rings, you’re going to be amazed by how well this ring balances a heavyweight feel with “forget-your-wearing-it” comfort. Added details include a handsome beveled-edge and a carbon fiber and gold tone chain link inlay. The perfect symbol of a relationship built to last.

New! Fall in love all over again C.

e walked through the woods because she loved the color of the leaves. The setting sun bathed every blazing orange and brilliant yellow in golden light. But the magic never seemed to last for long. Every day the night came quicker and the air grew colder. Fall gave way to winter and soon the trees were stripped bare. “Bring them back,” she begged. I always wished I could. Now at last I’ve found a way.

Who says money doesn’t grow on trees? Throughout history man has searched for ways to transform ordinary objects into gold. Now science can finally turn those dreams into reality. Technically this “Autumn Alchemy” is called electroforming. But we just call it beautiful. Each of our 24K GoldDipped Leaf Pendants begins with a real leaf. Skilled artisans carefully coat each uniquely-shaped leaf with rich 24K gold until the beauty of nature is captured forever in a work of precious art. The process is incredibly difficult and delicate, but the finished product

is worth the effort. Luxury leaf collection. We fell in love with the exquisite technique used to make these pendants and the remarkable price made it even harder to resist. Call today and you can bring home the most romantic color of the season for only $49 each! Choose from the Sugar Maple, the Aspen or the Oak. Of course, if you’re having a hard time choosing, simply order the complete 24K Gold-Dipped Leaf Pendant Set for an incredible $99! You’ll get all three pendants, PLUS an 18" sterling silver chain (with 2” extender) layered in 24K gold. That’s like getting one 24K leaf pendant and the 24K gold-layered chain for FREE! Celebrate the seasons of love. Each leaf was selected for its good looks, but also for its deeper meaning. The Sugar Maple is cherished as a symbol of love. The beloved Aspen is planted near homes to keep away evil spirits. And the mighty Oak is legendary for its strength and endurance. Because these are real leaves, no two pendants will be identical. Each leaf will vary slightly in shape, size and color. Your leaf of luxury awaits! 24K Gold-Dipped Leaf Pendant Collection C. #21597 Maple—$99.00 $49.00 Save $50 D. #21589 Aspen—$99.00 $49.00 Save $50 E. #21595 Oak—$99.00 $49.00 Save $50 F. #21591 18" 24K Gold-layered Chain—$49.00 20" silk cord included.

New! Russian recipe for luxury A.

The first time you visit the frigid Russian tundra (if you ever choose to do such a thing), it might seem as though there could not be a harsher, more unforgiving environment in the world. This is the frozen landscape of Dr. Zhivago. This is where you travel by train for days and see nothing but white from your window. This is where, in 1933, the world's lowest temperature outside of Antarctica was recorded (-90˚F). But, in the grand tradition of hidden treasures buried in the most remote places, we now know that this cold corner of the world is one of the few places you can find chrome diopside. We call our captivating cocktail the Green Russian Ring. Delicately prong set in .925 sterling silver, and sparkling with a green more brilliant than emerald (chrome diopside has nearly twice the refraction index), the 1 1⁄3 carat stunner at the center of this ring demonstrates perfectly why people brave the belowfreezing temperatures of Siberia for these vivid gemstones. There’s just nothing else that shines like chrome diopside. Encircling the center stone, and adorning the shoulders of the ring are 27 brilliant African white topaz rounds. It’s a glorious mix of green and white guaranteed to keep you cool, no matter how hot it gets!

New! Timing is everything They call it “fashionably late” for a reason. You show up well after everyone else has arrived so that you can be seen. You prefer to make an entrance rather than simply arrive at your destination. Otherwise why go through the trouble of choosing the perfect dress, the right shoes and the jewelry that makes them look twice? Proper timing is all part of the plan. And just wait until they see what’s hiding up your sleeve. The Vellamo Watch loves to be the center of attention. Showing off is part of its DNA. After all, the first jeweled women’s watches appeared only on the wrists of royalty. European jewelers conspired with watchmakers to create fabulous accessories for the palace courts. Watches lavished with precious gems married fashion and function (though function often came in a distant second). These days, the line that distinguishes a “wristwatch” from “jewelry” is thin. And the Vellamo doesn’t just walk that narrow line, it dances along it with pirouettes and cartwheels. The Vellamo is powered by a precise quartz movement, with two blued hands to mark time on the elegant Mother-of-Pearl dial. Electric blue, lab-created sapphire rounds sit at the 12, 3 and 9 o’clock positions and a separate seconds complication sits above the 6 o’clock spot. Inside, it’s a timekeeping machine. But outside, the Vellamo is all flash and feminity, crafted in a palette of pinks, golds and baby blues fit for the belle of any ball. The pink leather strap adds attitude and the bezel of DiamondAura® adds sparkle. It’s also water-resistant to 3 ATMs...in case you really need to make a splash!

The rarest of the rare? A watch collector’s dream: The Stauer Eremos now available for only four payments of $49!

ake a good look. If you don’t, you might miss this extraordinary watch forever. Designed using one of the most complex movements of all time, the Stauer Eremos is a regulator timepiece the likes of which you might never see again. That is, unless you decide to put one on your wrist.

Let’s get to the heart of the matter. This is one of the only watches on the market today based on the highly-sought-after observatory clocks of the 1800s which became amazingly precise by separating the hour and minute dials on the face. Stauer took a cue from those incredible machines and engineered what is essentially a miniaturized regulator. Other watch companies don’t even attempt to make regulators. But it was a challenge we were happy to face to get results this attractive. Still, due to the complexity of the movement,

we can’t be sure how many we will produce... We didn’t stop there. Not only is the Eremos an astonishing 20-jewel automatic regulator with a separate minute dial and a unique scrolling hour display, it’s also an open heart watch, revealing its ticker through a window in the elegant guilloche face. The balance wheel and escapement can be seen under the Cotswold™ crystal and exhibition back. It’s water resistant to 3 ATM, a classic sun and moon indicator moves smoothly below the hour markers, and the case is crafted in gleaming silver-toned stainless steel. A genuine black leather band adds the final touch of class. We don’t know when another watch like this will be available (if ever) so you’d better act quickly! Fits wrists 6 ½" to 8 ½".

Named for one of the spirits that escaped Pandora’s ill-fated box, apatite could have been doomed by its troublesome past. But this Greek myth has a happy ending. Forgiven for its assoH. ciation with Pandora, apatite has become a darling of jewelry designers. So when we got our hands on these blue beauties, we couldn’t resist giving you something new and exciting. At the center of the ring, delicately prong set in goldvermeil sterling silver, a faceted oval of apatite shimmers and shines in icy blue, surrounded by a halo of twelve more brilliant blue apatite stunners. On the shoulders, two additional rounds add the final touch of cool color that balances perfectly with the warmth of the golden glimmer.

Business travel isn’t always easy. Especially when every other stop is a town without roads. Working my way down the western coast of India, I opted for a pit stop. I headed to a Kerala spa, tucked inside the forest. It was perfect. After a day of deep massage among the fields of coffee, cardamom and nutmeg, I was ready to talk gemstones. I met my friend at his shop in Ratnapura, the “City of Gems.” The look on his face said it all. He knew I had a weakness for rubies and he wasn’t above exploiting it.

We haggled some, but I knew better than to pass on a cache this sweet. Our designer transformed these enhanced stones—70 carats at a time—into our Ruby Teardrop Necklace, an impressive 18" strand of faceted ruby roundells. Each shimmering red gem is linked with handtwisted, 14K gold layered wire and meets at a pendulous 10carat, faceted teardrop ruby. The matching French hook earrings each feature four faceted ruby roundels and an 8-carat ruby teardrop. High-end jewelers can sell some rubies for more than $5,000 a carat. We think that’s ridiculous in today’s economy. That’s why we use our leverage to get you the best prices possible for the world’s most precious gems.

Seeing red in the City of Gems

New! An apatite for luxury It’s time to feed your need. Indulge yourself by wearing something luxuriously uncommon. How can you satisfy your appetite for the finer things? A good place to start is with the beguiling blue stone known as apatite, which we’ve put on dazzling display in our Apatite Ring.

Ancient history has a hundred different tales about the origin of amber. We know it today as J. fossilized resin, a natural prehistoric gem that hums with an ethereal orange glow. But centuries ago, while Lithuanian peasants fished amber nuggets from the icy Baltic, they told their children a much different story. They believed amber was the broken and scattered pieces of a mermaid’s castle, smashed by the storms of an angry thunder god. He wrecked her home as punishment for falling in love with a local fisherman. The deity crushed her romance and left the mermaid heartbroken. Her tears turned to amber droplets along the sea floor. Thankfully, her tragic story has a happy ending. True love triumphs because some of those very same “mermaid tears” appear in our Baltic Honey Amber Ring. At the center, you’ll find a translucent golden oval of smooth, gem-quality Baltic amber set in a decorative, oxidized band. Every dollop is different, with its own flourish of air bubbles that distinguishes each ring as a unique work of natural art. The companion earrings are even more spectacular, with decadent drops framed in elegant metalwork that dangle from French wire hooks. A legendary romance lives on!

“...beautifully made and a real conversation piece (keeps great time as well).”

New! Building a better rainbow The glory of a rainbow is really just an optical illusion. My physicist friend explained that light changes both speed and direction when it travels from one medium to another. When sunlight passes through air and then water droplets, as it does after a rainstorm, we see the light divided into its different B. frequencies. It forms that beautiful arc of colors that you just want to reach out and grab. But grabbing a rainbow is impossible...according to my friend, the physicist. “How do you explain this?” I asked, showing him the magnificent combination of colors in our Tourmaline Rainbow Ring. He couldn’t, of course, because he knows nothing about the magic and mystery of gemstones. Our Tourmaline Rainbow Ring features 55 multi-colored tourmaline gemstones—weighing 5 ½ carats—set in a .925 sterling silver floral design. Each round glows with distinct color and flickers with 58 facets. The matching pendant also features 55 round multi-colored tourmaline gemstones, set in sterling silver with an 18" chain. This collection of naturally-colored gemstones is just as stunning as a rainbow. The only difference is that this Tourmaline Rainbow is no optical illusion.

Live like an 1800s rock legend The opulent elite of today’s corporate empires can’t compete with the dazzling debonair prince of the railroad, “Diamond” Jim Brady. Nowadays big CEOs keep their personality private, but Jim let his publicly overflow. As famous for his appetite as he was for his fortune, Jim was known to eat enough for 10 people in one sitting. He hobnobbed D. with robber barons and actresses and always picked up the tab. The first person in New York City to own an automobile, there was just no ignoring Mr. Brady. And, of course, he earned his nickname for a reason. His most notable indulgence was diamonds. He wore them everywhere, from his suspenders to his cuff links, and often carried pockets full of loose stones. Take a cue from one of history’s greatest showmen and get a ring with plenty of bling. The Buchanan (Jim’s middle name) is truly a sight to behold. Crafted in dynamic .925 sterling silver, the band swells to hold the 28 hand-set genuine blue sapphire rounds that form the dramatic frame around the focus of the ring. And what is the focus? Well, diamonds of course. A gold-clad setting of 49 stunners rises above the rest of the ring, flickering and flashing with striking brilliance. If you’re really looking to max out on white fire, choose the all diamond version. This is your chance to wear a men’s ring that might have upstaged even Diamond Jim himself!

“Them as has ‘em wears ‘em.” —Diamond Jim Brady C.

New! Once upon a dime in America Put history on your wrist with this impressive coin and genuine Swiss movement combination!

he coin inside this watch has a secret past. It’s so secret that we can’t tell you about it...because we don’t know anything for sure. Maybe it jingled in the pocket of a banker who struggled through the Panic of 1857. Maybe it was part of a poker pot during a saloon game in Deadwood. Or maybe it was a soldier’s lucky dime that he carried into battle during the Civil War. The truth could be any one of these stories. Or all of them. We love the history and mystery of old coins. But that’s just part of what makes the Seated Liberty Dime Watch so unique. The other part, of course, is the watch.

We gave our watch designers exclusive access to the vaults of one of the largest coin dealers on the planet. They took Stauer’s passion for recreating vintage timepieces and combined it with authentic artifacts

of American history. The result is a genuine piece of the past that looks spectacular on your wrist.

Each watch features an authentic Seated Liberty Dime minted pre-1860 (exact dates and coin conditions will vary).

This classic American coin is 90% silver and set to display the obverse portrait of Lady Liberty encircled by 13 stars representing the original colonies. It sits at the bottom of the Mother-of-Pearl dial, framed by a scalloped, gold-toned oval case. Inside, the time is kept by a legendary Swiss movement and protected by a stainless steel caseback and crown. The Seated Liberty Dime Watch secures with a croc-embossed, black leather band. Wear it and you’ll always be able to spare a dime...and the time. Fits wrists 7 ¼" - 9 ¼". E. #21273 Seated Liberty Dime Watch $495.00 4 payments of $49

New! Annie, get your bag Annie Oakley’s favorite accessory wasn’t a handbag. It was her rifle. And she never missed. But while her sharpshooting talent made her famous, it was her attitude that made her a superstar. Annie was a five foot tall spitfire in a world of grizzled cowboys. Somehow she fit right in. Apparently, there was room for a sophisticated and stylish woman in that rough and rowdy man’s world. There still is. The Wild West was tamed a long time ago, but its independent spirit lives on. If you’re looking for a bag with built in swagger, you hit the bullseye with the American West Frontier Tote. This bag is a work of classic, Western-inspired elegance with a nod to modern luxury and functionality. It’s spacious and sturdy with two shoulderlength handles that drop 12" for a comfortable carry.

Inside, the zip-top tote features a zipper pocket, signature cloth lining and convenient pouches for cell phones, keys or cosmetics. The outside is a masterpiece of hand-tooled, vegetabletanned, caramel-colored leather with cream-colored leather trim. The traditional floral designs were meticulously carved by hand and work brilliantly with the silver-toned metal studs. Each bag features a silver signature keepsake and includes a protective storage bag. The aim is to capture the authentic character of the Old West. And like Annie Oakley, they never seem to miss. Measures 12" x 11" x 5". C.

African sun captured on safari It was a busy day on the Serengeti. The plains came alive with wildlife and the vast beauty of the park did not disappoint. But Mother Nature saved the best for last. At dusk I watched the sun slip below the horizon in an explosion of oranges, reds, and yellows. Absolutely stunning. The grandest of grand finales. Hard to forget even as I headed south with gemstones on my mind.

American military secret for sale Once used exclusively by the United States most celebrated covert operators, the 21st-century technology inside the Stauer Recon Tritium Watch has been cleared for civilian service!

Imagine my delight the next morning as I gazed through the spessartite garnet held between my fingers. The brilliant orange gem looked as pure as the sunshine itself. Full of light. Bursting with life. Beside it, a small assortment of richly-colored mandarin garnets. Both stones are among the rarest and most coveted in the garnet family. Gemologists and jewelers will be the first to tell you that no other orange in the gem world comes close. Side by side, the gems shimmer and sparkle like hot coals. I knew they belonged together, so that’s exactly where I put them. The Sunset Garnet Ring features a stunning 1 ½-carat spessartite oval poised atop a double halo of mandarin garnet rounds set in .925 sterling silver. A near-perfect setting of vibrant color and genuine African treasure. If the sun rises and sets with her, these are the stones that belong on her finger.

We did our business in broad daylight. Out in the open for the whole world to see. Two men. One watch. And a firm handshake to seal the deal. Do I regret what we did? Not for one second.

Self-powered micro-gas lights don't need to be "charged" by an external light source. Even after days in the field, the face stays remarkably bright.

Once you get a closer look at the Stauer Recon Tritium Watch, you’ll understand why. Inspired by the same watches used by the country’s most elite fighting forces, the tough-as-

nails Stauer Recon is a revelation in black and white. It’s powered by a precision Swiss quartz movement and lit by the modern miracle of GTLS technology. Originally designed in Switzerland, GTLS (gaseous tritium light source) technology was almost exclusively used in advanced U.S. military equipment and watches for years, making it almost impossible to find for civilian use. And now, even though it’s more available, you rarely find quality for under $250. $200. Only Stauer can bring you a tritium watch for this price without compromising a millimeter on the integrity of the timepiece. The easy to read white-on-black dial also features military time, a date window at the 3 o’clock position and a rotating bezel (with a light source at the 12 o’clock spot). The lightweight polycarbonate case (a nearly unbreakable acrylic used in bulletproof glass) secures with a textured black rubber band and is water-resistant to 10 ATMs. Stylish in the daylight. Always lit in utter darkness. The best kept secret of military timekeeping is out! Fits wrists 7¼"—9 ¼". C. D. #21145 #21145 Stauer Stauer Recon Recon Tritium Tritium Watch—$495.

New! How to 7 carats of citrine with $100 in bonus Stauer gift coupons

answer the world’s toughest question

hy do you love me? She asks the question out of the blue. You take a moment to answer. But not too long. Taking too long gives her the idea that you can’t think of a reason. The truth is that you can’t think of one single reason why you love her. All that comes to mind is a million reasons all at once. Your problem is where to begin. You could start with the fact that she laughs at all of your jokes. Even the terrible ones. You could tell her she’s more beautiful than the day you met or that nothing makes you happier than sleeping in together on a lazy Sunday morning. How slow dancing with her makes the rest of the world disappear. And then there’s the way she won’t let you out the front door without a proper goodbye kiss. Even when you’re just going to check the mailbox. You have to say something. But then again, maybe you don’t. Maybe this Chateau Citrine Ring is the only answer you need. The 7½carat cushion-cut citrine sits beautifully in a gold vermeil setting adorned with over a half carat of glittering, lab-created DiamondAura® rounds. It’s a big, bold declaration of love that says everything you wanted to say...even more brilliantly. The beauty is in the balance between the golden center stone and all of the details that surround it like an ornate, gilded frame. Designers were inspired by European traditions to give your ring the rich look of an Old World heirloom. You get a stunning piece of jewelry that looks more like a work of art.

So who are the real men of steel? They’re the men who built railroads and skyscrapers. They laid miles of track by hand and navigated massive steel skeletons to hammer red hot rivets as the wind howled around them. They walk the tightropes of suspension bridge cables, and brave the 2500°F temperature of molten steel in foundries. And now that the Stauer Kronos is available, they’re likely to be the first men to buy this watch.

ot all heroes need to be faster than a speeding bullet, or more powerful than a locomotive. That’s why when you see this watch you won’t confuse it for a bird, or a plane, or anything other than a straightforward, man’s timepiece. It knows its place. It wasn’t designed with imaginary heroes in mind. This watch was inspired by a different kind of hero. This watch was created with the real men of steel in mind. And now the Stauer Kronos can be yours for only four payments of $49.00!

Save time. The Kronos has come to rescue you from wearing a boring watch. Its case, back, and rotating bezel are all constructed of rugged, brushed stainless steel. And its band is black genuine leather. The striking face includes three interior complications allowing you to track elapsed time, a date window between 4 and 5 o’clock, and a tachymeter along the outer edge to help you measure speed. But it’s the bezel that especially stands out, incorporating a bold “cut out” Arabic numeral design like nothing you’ve ever seen before. It might not let you leap tall buildings in a single bound. But it’s guaranteed to protect you from putting on “the same old thing.” And at only four payments of $49, it’ll save you money as well. Fits wrists 7 ¼" — 9 ¼".

How to get lost in London An old-fashioned walk in the park leads to an accidental discovery of world famous British blues! I didn’t see a lot of blue skies on my trip to London, but I did see a lot of blue plaques. There are hundreds of these famous markers around the city, celebrating the city’s heritage and identifying historic buildings that the great once called home. I found my first plaque after getting lost one rainy afternoon in Tavistock Square. Turns out I was walking in the footsteps of Mr. Dickens, who lived in the square while writing “A Tale of Two Cities.” Inspired by my accidental stroll through greatness, I wanted to bring something back from London as a reminder. And as beautiful as those blue plaques were, I found something even better...and bluer.

Over 7 carats of Blue Topaz!

Our Brittanica Blue Topaz Ring is a celebration of the color with a massive, emerald-cut Sky Blue topaz (6 ¾ carats) at the center, flanked by a quartet of legendary London Blue topaz rounds (½ ctw). London Blue is as deep and rich as blue topaz gets. So when those stones are paired with the translucent, pastel hue of the centerpiece, the effect is exhilirating. And even though the beauty of the stones can stand alone, we added even more elegance with a sterling silver setting, layered in yellow gold. The stone sits high on a throne of precious metal, fashioned with swirls, fleur-de-lis and crowns that recall the treasures of the royals. Sometimes getting lost is just the inspiration you need.

New! Tasteful extravagance It has been said that men and women of the Italian Renaissance pursued beauty like a drug. C. Art and elegance was the only thing that mattered. Ostentatiousness was the order of the day and “ordinary” was considered a dirty word. While we can appreciate their lust for luxury, we also understand that not everyone has access to the ancient Medici fortune. You can’t summon Michelangelo to paint your guest bathroom or commission Cellini to sculpt a portrait in solid gold. But there are still plenty of ways to indulge yourself in beauty worthy of the finest families in Florence...without going all the way over the top. Start with the Cosimo Necklace, a stately flourish of gold-layered sterling silver set with a symphony of sparkling, lab-created DiamondAura®. The rich design recalls symbolism used on mottos, crest and crowns to signify status. Pendants were among the most popular type of jewelry worn by both men and women of the Renaissance. And a necklace like this, with its clusters of precious stones set in gold, was a secret signal to others in the “Renaissance Millionaires Club” that you were one of them. Add the matching Cosimo Earrings and there will be no question about your qualifications as a person of aristocratic taste and exceptional style. Wear them in the right company and you may even spark a rumor or two about your inheritance.

When Mars attracts When I was a kid, nothing captured my imagination like outer space. On summer nights my friends and I would lie in the field behind my house and stare into the night sky. The stars would sparkle like thousands of shimmering jewels. Our minds raced as we wondered what was out there in the dark. Little did we know that the stars were closer to jewels than we thought. Scientists recently discovered that huge sections of the surface of Mars are covered in sparkling peridot.

Apparently, the Red Planet is rich with green. But while peridot is the first gemstone to be found on another planet, it has been coveted here on Earth for centuries. You may have to wait a while until you can brag about your Martian gems. In the meantime we found the most vivid stones our planet has to offer and packed 400 carats worth into our Peridot Torsade Necklace. Five strands of glistening peridot droplets fasten with a large .925 sterling silver lobster clasp. Wear it straight or with a twist. Either way, you get enough outof-this-world sparkle to leave even the stars green with envy. D. #21332 20" 5-Strand Peridot Torsade Necklace (400 ctw)—$449.00 3 payments of $59

Raise a glass to Italian history A.

You know something is special when it’s able to overshadow the likes of beautiful Italian B. canals, 500-year old churches, and the artwork of Giovanni Bellini to become the main attraction in town. But that’s just how incredible Murano glass is. So if you visit the small Italian island, check out the churches, and C. take a trip along one of the canals, but most importantly leave yourself plenty of time to peruse the shops of the legendary glassmakers. And if you can’t make the trip, why not let Stauer bring the amazing glass to you? I’m talking about the genuine Murano glass of our Donato Necklace. Murano glass has been crafted on this small island for literally hundreds of years by skilled artisans using techniques that have remained unchanged since the 13th century. The Donato upholds that tradition beautifully, combining over 50 genuine hand-crafted icy blue Murano glass beads with intricately detailed gold-layered spacers that stretch the entire 18" length of the piece.

Time to smell the roses It sounds odd, but I never have any spare time when I visit Geneva. Between the business meetings, factory tours and more meetings, there’s barely time for me to breathe. If I want a break, I have to steal it. So during my last trip, I made a run for it after lunch. I turned off my cell phone. And then I went for a stroll along the lake to clear my head and forget about work. But a stroll through the birthplace of the Swiss watch industry is a terrible place to try and forget about work. The cool breeze off Lake Geneva and the lush greenery of the Jardin Anglais (English Garden) were relaxing. But then I saw the Flower Clock. Planted in 1955, the working public clock has a breathtaking dial composed of more than 6,000 blooms, arranged in an elaborate design of eight concentric circles. Inspiration never sleeps. Obviously fresh flowers wouldn’t last a minute on the wrist, so I decided to replace the gladiolas with gemstones. I borrowed the brilliant bouquet look for our Jardin Watch, which features a rose gold-fused oval case studded with 2 ctw twinkling, lab-created DiamondAura®. The elongated mother-of-pearl face shimmers with iridescent color and features oversized Roman numeral indices at 12 and 6 o’clock. While the Geneva Floral Clock features the world’s largest second hand (over 8 feet long), it seemed more practical to fit the Jardin with a trio of much shorter blued hands. A genuine sapphire crown and the rich burgundy leather strap add the final touches of luxury. The result is a unusually beautiful timepiece that keeps you on schedule while reminding you that it’s okay to stop and smell the roses once in a while.

Your money or your wife? Thanks to this $29.95 DiamondAura® Sweet Nothing Pendant...you don’t have to choose!

ou’d be amazed by how many brilliant men are stumped as soon as they step into a jewelry store. I hear complaints all the time from smart, successful professionals who feel helpless when faced with overwhelming sparkle and selection. Blinded by the bling, they have no clue where to begin. And keep in mind that these men have already cleared the first hurdle. Simply attempting to buy jewelry for their sweethearts presents a minefield of doubt: stones, settings, colors (not to mention personal taste and opinions). You have to give them credit for going it alone.

For many, that long walk to the jewelry store brings more dread than a visit to the dentist. They make the trip and expect it to hurt. And it does. Because they don’t know any better.

FOUR WEEKS ONLY! 2 carat DiamondAura® Pendant for Only $29.95!

The choice always seems to come down to “Your money or your wife?” If you love her, you spend a lot. If you really love her, spend it all. That’s crazy. We think “the house” has had the advantage for too long. When it comes to shopping for fine jewelry, you now have a choice. Buy from Stauer and you feel good. You feel smart. And most importantly, you feel change in your pocket. Let me get to the point. We’d like you to get that feeling with the spectacular 2-Carat DiamondAura® Sweet Nothing Pendant. This gorgeous pendant features a knockout combination of a 1 ¼-carat round, lab-created DiamondAura and 1/3 carat pear-cut DiamondAura surrounded by 32 brilliant rounds set in fine .925 sterling silver. The total weight tops 2 full carats and packs more fire per facet than most mined stones. More fire is nice, but the hottest thing about the Sweet Nothing Pendant has to be the price. For 4 weeks only, it can be yours for $29.95. Our exclusive lab creations retain every jeweler’s specification including cut, color, clarity and carat weight. All natural diamonds are strictly graded according to these criteria. The stones that score the highest, command the highest price. That’s just the way it’s always worked. And our exclusive DiamondAura follow the exact same rules, except for one. They ace every test, scoring higher than almost any white diamond you’ll find in stores. But instead of an outrageously high price, we prefer to see how low we can go.

New! The legacy of a mechanical genius The Stauer Oberon combines two distinct movements with one of the most unique dials we’ve ever made!

alter was the kind of guy who spent way too much time tinkering in the basement. He had a knack for taking things apart and putting them back together. The man was obsessed. When he talked about his mechanical creations, he got the wild-eyed look of a mad scientist. I was dying to find out what he was up to. Then one day he invited me downstairs.

Watch as an ode to the art of the machine. This timepiece is a celebration of mechanical personality. The lower half of the face opens like a wide, toothy smile of rotors and gears. The distinctive upper dial features a black and white circle of numerals topped with a rose-gold “grill” that rotates to reveal the hour, while a large, blued arrow marks the minutes.

“I build time machines,” he said. Luckily there were no DeLoreans or tin foil hats to be found. The man had real talent. A retired watchmaker, Walter built one-of-a-kind watches and clocks from spare parts and scrap metal. They were definitely unusual, but also undeniably beautiful. Our mutual love of machines made us fast friends. I was lucky enough to get one of Walter’s creations as a gift and to this day it’s still the most talked about object in my office.

The Oberon has two distinct movements. The metallic seconds dial on the face is driven by the automatic mechanism, while a precision quartz movement keeps time on the main dial. The watch secures with a genuine brown leather band with white stitching, it fastens with a gold-fused steel buckle and is water-resistant to 3 ATMs. The Oberon Watch is incredibly accurate, terribly interesting and unlike anything you’ve ever put on your wrist. Walter would be proud. Fits wrists 7 ¼" — 9 ¼"

Unfortunately, Walter’s gone. But I’ve never forgotten his love for all things mechanical. Inspired by my old friend’s passion, I created the Oberon

Praise for Scienza™ Emeralds “This ring looks even better in person! If everything Stauer makes is on par with this piece, then my pocketbook is in big trouble!” - A.P. from Camarillo, CA

During his honeymoon, a young scientist walks into an elite Fifth Avenue jewelry boutique with a bag full of exquisite emeralds hoping to make a few bucks. Instead, he makes headlines.

The snooty manager takes one look at the gems carried by the modestly-dressed man and decides the stones must be stolen. And when the man tries to explain that his stones are lab-created, the manager becomes even more suspicious. So the man decides to cut his losses and turns to leave only to find himself face to face with New York’s finest...

More than fifty years ago that scientist dodged the cops to bring fine lab-created emeralds onto the market. And jewelers around the world are still astounded. Lab-created emeralds are chemically identical to natural emeralds that are formed by immense pressure and heat deep within the earth. And just like in nature, they don’t form overnight. Months of patience and technical expertise is required. But once they are done, their beauty is enough to make Mother Nature green with envy. In fact, they are so remarkable only trained gemologists can tell the difference. The Scienza™ lab-created Emerald Ventura Ring exemplifies the finest aspects of lab-created stones. The crisp facets of the 1 ½ carat lab-created emerald-cut reveals the deep green which makes this ring unforgettable. Surrounding the center stone is an explosion of DiamondAura® rounds and tapered baguettes that radiate with more fire than mined diamonds. Set brilliantly in gold over sterling silver, the Ventura is a celebration of captivating green beauty. No need to involve the authorities!

Paint the town black

With this ring...

First spotted at cocktail hour in an Istanbul hotel. Across the terrace, she stood in a shimmering black gown, holding a martini glass like she was having her portrait painted. My eyes went straight to her ears and the elegant black swirls that sparkled in the B. moonlight. They looked like golden leaves dipped in caviar, those soft spirals encrusted with brilliant black gems. Paying her a compliment meant passing through her bodyguards, so I let it go without a word. But I never forgot those earrings. Our version features a curl of 14k gold vermeil slathered in lab-created, black DiamondAura®. 3 ¾ carats of glistening, lab-created stones are microset on the dangling swirls that hang from tarnish-free French hooks. Decadence with a twist!

Trip to Australia reveals the wonder of giant golden pearls We took the long trip to Australia to study the famous white lipped oysters that produced magnificent pearls that are often 11-14mm—about 8 times the size of a standard cultured pearl. Not only did these oysters produce our rare South Sea pearl but they also produced tremendous amounts of mother of pearl or nacre. Nacre is the lustrous iridescent substance which is secreted by the oyster to form the shiny inside of their shells. When nacre secretions are deposited around the seed they build up to form a full-sized pearl. By extracting a seed pearl from young fresh oyster shells and speeding up the process by which the nacre coats the seed pearl, we are able to produce the breathtaking Australian Pacific Necklace. Our luxurious giant 11–14mm golden South Sea pearls cost $25,000 for an 18" strand. But now you have a choice. You can now wear a stunning 18" Australian Pacific necklace crafted from the organic nacre of the giant Pinctada maxima for under $300.

Sapphire-spangled banner

New! Blade in America

When it comes to symbols that stir the heart, you can’t beat the American flag. The feeling you get watching one hoisted up against a clear blue sky? The lump in your throat that rises at the sight of it during times of triumph or tragedy? That’s just proof that our Founding Fathers had the right idea. And when it comes to reimagining the red, white and blue... it’s hard to improve on perfection.

I didn’t grow up to be as rugged as I’d hoped. When you’re raised on a strict diet of Davy Crockett and The Lone Ranger, it’s hard to imagine not becoming a frontier fighting machine who can wrestle a “bar” with just his hands. But even if I didn’t end up in a cabin, or riding my horse across the plains, one lesson stuck with me: the most important thing you can carry out in the wild is a good, solid knife. So to this day, I never leave home without my trusty pocket knife. Most of the time it just opens mail, or cuts a hanging thread off my shirt. But occasionally it tackles tougher tasks. And it’s then I feel like I have at least some of that rough edge I’d hoped for.

The iconic needlework of Betsy Ross has served proudly as the symbol of the United States for more than 230 years. So instead of going back to the drawing board, we asked our designer to return to the workbench and make our grand old flag even grander. The result is an eye-catching pin that blends precious gems and patriotism for a fashion statement that never goes out of style.

Our spectacular Sapphire & DiamondAura® Patriot Pin showcases a luxurious new look for Old Glory. The American flag is captured in gold-fused sterling silver, with hand-enameled red stripes that unfurl with the elegant flow of the “fabric.” You can almost hear the material snapping in the brisk wind. The crowning achievement is a sparkling field of stars, composed of genuine, round-cut blue sapphires (½ ctw) and brilliant, lab-created DiamondAura. Added detail includes the intricate braided rope and polished flagpole, topped with a smooth sapphire cabochon. An exquisite piece that shows “every heart beats true, beneath the red, white and blue.”

But of course a rough edge on a blade isn’t a good thing. And that’s why I rely on American-made knives from Santa Fe Stoneworks like the Old Glory 3’’ Lock Back. The blade is crafted using only the finest grade, meticulously-honed steel for a razor-sharp edge that’ll last. The handle is undeniably patriotic, impressively inlaid with coral, and Mother of Pearl stripes, and a blue lapis banner with a single Mother of Pearl star to complete the homage to the American flag. You may not rule the wild frontier. But slip this knife into your pocket, and you’re likely to feel a little more connected to the legendary figures who helped make the U.S.A. the land of the free.

The baddest good guys

We found our most important watch in a soldier’s pocket

When the most elite fighting force in the United States military asks you to build a watch for them, you’d better get it right. That’s why when the Navy SEALs requested a special timepiece from our friends at Luminox, the watchmakers spared no expense. Since 1994, the original (and official) Navy SEALS Watch has been worn on the wrists of the nation’s highest-skilled, combat soldiers and tested under the world’s most extreme conditions. The verdict? Mission accomplished.

When the stakes are literally life and death, timing is critical. Covert operations are synchronized to the second and every one of those seconds count when you’re dealing with drop-offs and pick-ups behind enemy lines or the setting of explosives. And part of what makes the Luminox such an invaluable tool to the SEALs is the remarkable illumination system that keeps the hands and markers visible even in complete darkness. Each watch is equipped with self-powered micro-gas lights that don’t need to be “charged” by an external light source. Even after days in the field, the glowing face brightly displays the exact time. The Navy SEAL Faststrap Watch features a rugged, PC carbon reinforced case with a bold white-on-black design. The luminescent night vision tubes and watch face are protected by hardened mineral glass. The lightweight black nylon strap features a stylized Navy SEAL insignia and fastens with velcro and a brushed steel buckle. The Luminox is water-resistant up to 20 ATMs and ready for action whenever you are. B. #20038 Luminox Navy Seal Faststrap Watch—5 payments of $69

The official watch of the Navy SEALS

It’s the summer of 1944 and a weathered U.S. Sergeant is walking in Rome only days after the Allied Liberation. He finds an interesting timepiece in a store just off the Via Veneto. He loved the way it felt in his hand, and the hunter’s back that opened to reveal a secret compartment. He nicknamed the watch Ritorno for “homecoming” and according to The Complete Guide to Watches, the rare heirloom is now valued at $42,000. We wanted to bring this piece of history back to life in a faithful reproduction. We’ve used a 22-jeweled movement reminiscent of the best watches of the 1940s. We hope that it will remind you to take time to remember what is truly valuable. Fits wrists 7 ½" to 8 ¾".

Get 250 carats of genuine garnet for $49

oday if you want to learn about gemstones, you ask a jeweler or geologist. But back in the 16th century, Italians went to see the doctor. Respected men of science and medicine believed that precious stones did more than just make you look stunning. In 1502, Camillus Leonardus, M.D. published his Speculum Lapidum (Mirror of Stones) about the mystical and spiritual properties of gemstones. One of the superstars of that volume? The passionate, deep-red garnet.

After all, if a stone has been said to “dissipate sadness, avert evil thoughts, exhilirate the soul and foretell misfortune,” it begs for something special. If scholars once thought that garnets could “bring sleep to the sleepless, drive away the plague, and attract to its possessor riches, glory, honor and great wisdom,” why stop at ordinary? That’s why, for a limited time, you can claim this 250-Carat Garnet Garland Necklace for the extraordinary price of $49! The Necklace is an endless strand that perfectly complements any outfit from couture to casual. Since garnet is a must have in any jewelry collection, we’ve added a matching 7½" bracelet that secures with a gold-layered S-hook. Plus a pair of companion Garnet & Cultured Pearl Earrings to complete the set. Each features a trio of garnet beads atop a pink, cultured pearl on a gold-layered French hook. Taking your medicine has never felt like more of an indulgence!

Garnet was considered divine and adored by the Greeks and Romans. In Bohemia, Czech craftsmen transformed it into timeless treasures. Our own luxurious 28" rope of faceted garnet beads was ready for its close-up. But after reading deeper into the classic treatise by Leonardus, we were inspired to give garnets the big deal they deserved.

The art of the machine See what makes us tick with the Stauer Machina Skeleton Watch for under $200

et’s start with the man who couldn’t keep a secret. In 1760, a Paris watchmaker wanted more attention for his small workshop. According to the legend, he removed the face and plates to reveal the inner workings and delicate skeleton of his 18th century time machines. A fascinated public flocked to his door and the skeleton watch was born.

We liked his idea enough to bring it back in a time machine. Feast your eyes on the Stauer Machina. We removed the hood. Tore down the curtains. And put everything out in the open. What you are left with is the beating heart of time itself. The Stauer Machina pumps the energy of the coiled spring through gears and a handful of impossibly tiny parts. Flywheels barely thicker than an eyelash. Screws dwarfed by a grain of rice. They work together effortlessly. An experienced orchestra making music with gleaming golden hardware and

17 glistening jewels. Dozens of moving parts counting the seconds and counting on each other. When you glance down at the Stauer Machina, you don’t just check the time, you watch it being made. Every masterpiece deserves a fitting frame. The square goldtoned stainless steel case of the Machina frames the watchworks between panels of wafer-thin crystal. Ornate scrolled details in each corner add a touch of artistry. And a genuine brown leather band accents the golden glint of the metal-work perfectly. Fits wrists 6 ¾" - 8 ¼". At what point does a watch become a work of art? When does a magnificent machine become a sculpture? If you look at the Stauer Machina, you’ll realize it’s just about...now.

Voice-activated necklace only speaks when spoken to

Over 1 carat of natural tanzanite!

Rock around the clock tonight Standing in front of the guitar shop winD. dow was the greatest thrill and the worst kind of torture. As a kid, I never had the money to shell out for a mint condition Gibson, Rickenbacker or Les Paul. After playing for what seemed like an eternity on dinged-up secondhanders, I finally got my first Fender Stratocaster. It was worth the wait. The guitar looked and felt like a masterpiece. That’s the thing about a classic guitar, the work of art is the piece you play...and the piece itself. It’s no wonder then that this remarkable Stauer Guitar Watch instantly plucked at my heartstrings. One look at it’s voluptuous body brought me right back to the glory days of rock-and-roll. The unique shape immediately brings to mind those round-bottomed bodies of vintage electric guitars. The same classics strummed by Bill Haley, Buddy Holly and true guitar gods like Jimi, Eric and Keith. The eye-catching, ivory face features blue Roman numerals on the left of the dial and bold Arabic numbers on the right. Blued, Breguet-style hands keep time while additional complications mark the day, date and month. A date window sits at the 3 o’clock position. Inside, the 27-sapphire-jewel movement utilizes an automatic self-winding mechanism that never needs batteries. The Stauer Guitar Watch secures with a genuine black leather band and is water-resistant to 3 ATMs.

What you’re looking at is not the latest breakthrough in jewelry technology. This necklace was created using the same techniques and skills perfected centuries ago. It is forged of gleaming silver that was mined from the Earth, heated and sculpted into art. Each of the precious gemstones were also found underground, where they lived for millions of years before ever seeing the light of day. Artisans cut them, shaped them and transformed them into jewels. Hand-set. Hand-polished. And then hung on a sterling silver chain to catch the light in every facet. It’s beautiful, but it’s not perfect. Not yet. One precious piece is missing and until that piece is added, the Amorette Tanzanite & White Topaz Necklace will remain nothing more than an elegant collection of silver and stones. A grand ballroom with the lights off. An orchestra without a conductor. Without her voice, this necklace is just a pretty thing in a fuzzy box. But once she says, “I love it,” this heart truly comes alive. The lights come on and the music starts. Magic happens. The Amorette features a playful heart pendant crafted of .925 sterling silver and studded with more than 1 1/3 carats of genuine tanzanite. Found in only one place on the planet, the passionate purple stone is 1,000 times rarer than diamonds! We topped the pendant with a sterling bail and a sparkling cluster of round-cut white topaz. The entire piece dangles from an 18” sterling silver chain. All it needs now is a few magic words. A. #20916 Amorette Tanzanite & White Topaz Necklace (1 2⁄5 ctw)—$795.00 $199.00 Save $596

He invented “infamous” His work is famous. But he was infamous. Benvenuto Cellini was one of Italy’s most celebrated goldsmiths. He was a man of incredible talent and no one knew that more than Cellini himself. During the Golden Era of the Old Masters, he competed with the likes of Michelangelo, Titian and Donatello for greatness. But as a Renaissance bad boy, he had all of them beat. From blood feuds and scandalous love affairs to embezzling the Pope’s gem collection, Cellini certainly knew how to get into trouble. If you want to look into the details of his life, we recommend you read his autobiography, a sprawling confessional account of romance, skullduggery and outrageous behavior that puts any modern tell-all to shame. But if you want to see how his work continues to inspire jewelery designers, look no further than our 14K Gold Vermeil Florence Ring. A shining example of the metalsmith’s craft, the ring features an ornate “cage” of swirled sterling silver, layered in lustrous 14K gold. This sumptuous vermeil ring projects all the weighty opulence of a Medici treasure, while sitting surprisingly light on the finger. It’s the perfect way to capture the elegance of the Italian Renaissance with a unique, artistic flair that would make Benvenuto proud. And maybe just a little jealous.

Walk on the wild side D.

In 1918, the world’s top French jeweler hired a designer of singular style and taste. She was outrageous and outspoken and the head of the company dubbed her ‘The Panther’ for her fierce attitude and wild sense of style (she often came to work in silk pajamas, a turban and studded boots). She also had a love for big cats and transformed a popular Art Deco mascot into an exclusive icon of luxury and excess. Inspired by the recent sale of a jewel-encrusted panther watch at auction ($650,000!) and history’s most ferocious fashionista, our designers have created the Tigré Ring. The powerful form of a crouching wild tiger sits gracefully on a sterling silver band. More than 1 ½ carats of brilliant, lab-created DiamondAura® flicker and sparkle among the animal’s stripes. And a pair of peacock-blue, lab-created spinels are absolutely piercing as the eyes. The Tigré Ring is the perfect accessory for a sophisticated woman on the town...or on the prowl.

ow that the Wedding of the Century is complete, it might seem as though the celebrations should be over. But here at Stauer, we just can’t stop. It might have something to do with that legendary sapphire that started it all. Every time we look at our spectacular Royal Proposal Scienza® Sapphire Ring we relive the magic all over again. And so can you! Treat her like a princess. Inspired by what many are calling “the most romantic ring ever made,” our Royal Proposal Scienza Sapphire sparkles with as much passionate color and fire as the genuine sapphire and diamond original...without the king’s ransom price tag. In 1981, Prince Charles slipped a brilliant blue sapphire onto the finger of shy Lady Di and the whole world fell in love. Nearly thirty years later, his son William used the very same ring to win the hand of his own beloved Kate. Immediately after Prince William announced his engagement, luxury jewelers across Europe were flooded with requests to create similar rings. But even the wealthiest patrons may have to wait months for their own custom versions. We have one waiting for you right now. Our version features an impressive 2½-carat lab-created sapphire oval, prong-set in a band of sterling silver. The regal blue beauty is surrounded by a sunburst of 14 lab-created DiamondAura® rounds that sparkle with even more clarity and fire than mined diamonds. The science behind “happily ever after.” The only difference between our lab-created sapphire and the original royal sapphire is that the natural sapphire has flaws called “inclusions.” Lab-created sapphires have no inclusions because the mineral composition, heat, and pressure are controlled in the laboratory. The result is that scientifically-grown stones look vastly superior to mined stones because they are loupe-clean and have more luster and brilliance. Write your own fairy tale ending for the unbelievable price of only $99! But act fast because “the ring that everybody wants” won’t wait forever. The ultimate upgrade. As an added bonus for the select few of you who are in the royal gentry, we’ve secured a genuine luxury version of the legendary ring. The Majesty Diamond & Sapphire Ring features an 17+ carat natural sapphire surrounded by 3 carats of white diamonds (G, VS) in 18K white gold. A fairy tale ending like no other!

Sunset in the desert. The sky goes from orange to crimson and then the fireworks begin. A B. billion sparkling stars flicker for her attention. When one streaks across the sky, she can make a wish and hope it comes true. Or you can reach up and catch that falling star and keep her wishes coming true forever. Inside the Aster lab-created Ruby Ring you’ll C. see what looks like a shimmering star trapped inside the scientifically-crafted gemstone. Genuine star rubies have been prized for centuries for their unique, six-pointed starbursts, created when light reflects off tiny inclusions in the stone (a phenomenon known as “asterism,” after “aster” the Greek word for star). The most impressive examples are under glass in the world’s finest museums. Our Aster Ring showcases a 5-carat lab-created ruby. The blushcolored cabochon features a magical star that seems to float within and dance across the smooth surface. The oval is framed by a sterling silver starburst frame set with brilliant white, labcreated DiamondAura® (½ ctw). Think of it as a portable starry night that lets her wish upon a star wherever she goes.

Mother’s dearest E.

My mother is like no woman I’ve ever known. She’s smart, strong-willed, and beautiful. And she’s always done things a little differently. She smiles when she’s nervous. She takes her shoes off to dance. And she loves watching football with my dad. So not surprisingly, her jewelry choices are a touch different as well. While all her friends have their go-to string of white pearls, my mother’s are pink. A subtle twist on a classic look. That’s what my mother’s good at. I know she’d love this Pink Meré Necklace.

How can we offer such pleasantly pink orbs at such a fantastic price? We use science and inspiration from nature to create breathtaking organic spheres. By extracting the seed pearl from young oysters and coating them in nacre (the same substance that creates naturally grown pearls), we’ve essentially sped up nature’s process in the lab. But rarely in nature do you get anything as perfectly round as the 10mm stunners on our Meré Necklace. And both the necklace and bracelet secure with an effortlessly elegant magnetic clasp. Classy, a little different, and totally affordable. My mother would be proud.

The Stauer Apphia is a revelation in style and storage. This delicious tote is a compact confection in croc-embossed leather, the color of Swiss dark chocolate. The polished brass hardware adds golden flashes to the shiny leather. And once you open it up, you’ll find a plethora of pocket space. The zip-top opens on a center zipped pocket, a side zippered pocket and two pouches for cell phones, credit cards or change. Outside, you’ll find two front pouch pockets (with clever magnetic closures that look like buckled straps) and another zippered pocket in the back!

Only a few of us are born with silver spoons in our mouths. And until Stauer came along, you needed an inheritance to buy a timepiece with class and refinement. The Stauer Magnificat II brings the impeccable quality and engineering once found only in the collections of the idle rich. The striking case compliments an etched ivory-colored dial exquisitely. This automatic timepiece is hand built by master craftsmen with state of the art equipment.

Look at the interior dials and azure-colored hands. Turn the watch over and examine the 27-jeweled automatic movement through the transparent back. Inside, the self-winding automatic movement keeps the watch running without batteries. All that's required is the normal movement of your body to keep impeccable time. There is a remarkably detailed guilloche face, gilt winding crown and crocodile-embossed leather band. The three interior dials include a day, date and 24-hour AM/PM indicator. Fits wrists 6 ½" to 9". Plus, as a special offer, we’ll also include this pair of polarized Stauer Sunglasses, absolutely FREE (a $79 value)!

Gold digger strikes diamonds

BOnus!

During the Jazz Age, Peggy Hopkins Joyce was a Ziegfeld showgirl who adored the attention and glamour of life in the spotlight. Offstage, she became infamous as a scandalmaking heartbreaker with a bottomless appetite for expensive jewelery. The woman collected millionaire husbands like some folks collect parking tickets. But the thing about Peggy is that she knew exactly what she wanted. “I may be expensive,” she boasted, “But I deliver the goods.” If you wanted to woo her, you needed deep pockets. After all, Peggy herself once defined true love as “a heavy diamond bracelet, preferably one that arrived with its price tag intact.”

Time travel at the speed of a 1930’s Speedster? The 1930s brought unprecedented innovation in machine-age technoloC. gy and materials. Industrial designers from the auto industry translated the principles of aerodynamics and streamlining into everyday objects like radios and toasters. It was also a decade when an unequaled variety of watch cases and movements came into being. In lieu of hands to tell time, one such complication, called a jumping mechanism, utilized numerals on a disc viewed through a window. With its striking resemblance to the dashboard gauges and radio dials of the decade, the jump hour watch was indeed “in tune” with the times! The Stauer 1930 Dashtronic deftly blends the modern functionality of a 21-jewel automatic movement and 3-ATM water resistance with the distinctive, retro look of a jumping display (not an actual jumping complication). True to “Machine Art” aesthetics, the sleek brushed stainless steel case is clear on the back, allowing a peek at the inner workings. The 1 ½" case is complemented with a black alligator-embossed leather band. Fits wrists 7" to 8 ½".

The highest compliment we can pay is a lower price

Over half of the world’s cut diamonds end up in Antwerp’s historic Diamond District. That’s why I was pleasantly surprised to hear “goed” (Dutch for “good”) after my broker looked over these DiamondAura® earrings. Belgians aren’t quick with compliments, so I took B. his word as high praise indeed. “Goed” news for us. He just confirmed what I believed all along—that the years (and millions) we’ve spent perfecting the DiamondAura process have been worth it. The color and fire of lab-created DiamondAura is actually superior to mined diamonds. And the brilliance of our C. trademark scientifically-created stones has never been as dazzling as in this pair of Cluster Earrings.

You can now experience thin without any extra exercise. The Stauer Ultimate Slim is almost two dimensional. Turn it sideways and you will barely see it. Lighter, thinner, sleeker—that is the achievement. I wanted to design the most comfortable gentleman’s watch. The kind of understated timepiece that peeks out from under a custom-tailored sleeve. Lightweight. Dignified. No nonsense. Of course, thinner watches take much more precision to build. Our engineers have a very low tolerance for compromise. They use only the very best materials and they build the thinnest of Swiss movements. Not all watchmakers are up to the challenge. Luckily we have some who are. I’m proud to say that, “thin is in–no dieting necessary.” The Stauer Ultimate Slim is among the thinnest watches ever created and measures an incredible 4.25mm (.1675") thick. The goldfused case houses the impeccable Swiss movement and showcases a magnificently etched, gold-toned guilloche face of remarkable detail. A pair of blued, Breguet-style hands mark time along an outer dial of bold Roman numerals. The watch fastens with a genuine leather band and is water-resistant to 3 ATMs. Our goal was to make the watch as sleek and streamlined as possible, so we’ll take it as a compliment if you ever forget that you’re wearing it.

“I have the simplest tastes. I am always satisfied with the best”

It’s easy to see why civilizations throughout the ages have fallen in love with J. opals. Its pinfire flashes of iridescent pinks and greens on moonlight have mesmerized admirers since the beginning of time. Over the years, they came to symbolize such characteristics as hope, purity, prophesy, and foresight. The Romans called the opal the “king of gems” since it contained all the hues of the rainbow in addition to the colors of other gems. To pay proper homage to this luminous beauty, Stauer showcases milky white opals with chevrons of pavé-set lab-created DiamondAura® in 14K gold K. vermeil. A 2 ¾ carat opal perches on the split-band ring (available in sizes 5-10). The 2 ¾ carat opal pendant depends from a 20" gold vermeil chain with lobster clasp.

The lowdown on high society Times have changed. It used to be, if you were an outsider looking to crash the gilded gates of high society, it was all about WHO you know. Drop the right name and you’d get ushered in past the velvet ropes. But these days, it’s all about WHAT you know. Specifically, if you know that science is behind some of the world’s most spectacular jewelry, you’ve uncovered the best kept secret of the luxury world. It’s hard to argue with the deep, spectacular sparkle that comes from our exclusive DiamondAura® creations. The ingenious process begins with rare minerals heated to incredibly high temperatures of nearly 5000 F. What emerges is a marvel that’s optically brighter and clearer, with even more fire than a “D” flawless diamond. With a slight chemical variation, the transparent stones become infused with vivid hues once reserved for the world’s rarest fancy-colored diamonds. It’s just like finding the key to the mansion under the doormat. The magnificent, 4-carat lab-created yellow beauty at the center of our Grand Canary DiamondAura Ring is definitely the star of this show. But adding to the uncommon color is an avalanche of brilliant white DiamondAura rounds. Each is perched in the extravagant band like a glittering piece of fruit growing wild on twisted vines of .925 sterling silver. The Grand Canary captures the romance and craftsmanship of a bygone age. And it delivers the look of large-carat luxury without the trust fund price tag.

No more Mr. Nice Watch Forget sleek and subtle, the Stauer Colossus Hybrid is one tough timepiece

ize matters. Just ask Demetrius, the unfortunate Greek general who was sent to conquer Rhodes in 305 BC. He figured that a massive force of 40,000 men, a fleet of Aegean pirates and an arsenal of wall-smashing war machines would be enough to crush the tiny Greek island. But the people of Rhodes were ready and they put up a bigger fight than Demetrius expected. They held the island, repelled his attack and sent the legendary “Beseiger of Cities” back to Cyprus with his tail between his legs. To celebrate their victory, the Rhodians constructed a huge tribute to their patron god, Helios. The monument was paid for with the abandoned wares of Demetrius’ army and crafted from the melted-down metals of the enemy’s armaments. The Colossus of Rhodes was a 107-foot bronze and iron giant that towered over the harbor like a ten-story trophy, warning future invaders that “Rhodes is tougher than you think.” You communicate the same message when you strap on the Stauer Colossus. In designing the watch, my instructions were

clear. Build it as tough as a battleship and fill it full of surprises. Make it a hybrid, because it should work twice as hard as a regular watch. And make it look like a million bucks. When I put it on I want to get excited about rolling up my sleeves. Looking at the final product, I’d say “Mission Accomplished.” The Colossus Hybrid Watch may not be old enough to qualify as a Wonder of the Ancient World, but it’s still darn impressive. The heavy metal case features a rotating gunmetal bezel that frames the stunning analog/digital dial with markers and numerals that really pop against the bold black face. Luminous white hands and a bright yellow second hand mark analog time with a precision quartz movement and a trio of digital windows handle time as well as day, date and countdown timers. The Colossus secures with a unique folded stainless steel bracelet that includes textured, dark-toned center links. A rugged timepiece that proves even tougher than it looks. Fits wrists 6 ¾" - 9".

One tough lightweight... The U.S. government has engineered the most ingenious, most accurate clock in the world: the F-1 U.S. Atomic Clock in Boulder, Colorado. Our extraordinary new Stauer Titanium Atomic Watch utilizes the transmissions directly from that remarkable cesium fission atomic clock to report the most precise time. This scientifically advanced timepiece will gain or lose only one second over a 20 million-year period. It is that accurate! This perfectly tuned technological invention with the super light strength of titanium is now available for UNDER $200. Super Light Titanium has two big advantages over steel. One is corrosion resistance and the other is that titanium has the highest strength-to-weight ratio of any metal, which means that titanium is approximately 45% lighter than steel. But every other titanium watch that we can find is priced at over $500, and none of those are nearly as accurate as our atomic movement. You'll never have to set this watch. Just push one button and you’re synchronized with the atomic clock in Colorado, and the hands of the watch move to the exact time position. The sleek black textured dial has luminous hands and markers plus the timepiece is water resistant to 3 ATM. This Titanium Atomic Watch exceeds the accuracy of any Swiss luxury automatic so you can be more punctual and keep most of your money in your wallet, not on your wrist. Fits wrists 6 ½" to 9".

HOW TO ORDER

New! The only cookware that deserves to be in a jewelry catalog!

Congratulations. You are about to buy your last skillet—ever! The makers of DiamondPlus™ have discovered a way to turn the hardest substance on planet into the world’s finest non-stick cooking surface. That’s right, the same precious gemstone forged over millions of years in the pressure and heat underground is now a gourmet superstar. And the geniuses behind DiamondPlus have taken those legendary diamonds out of the fire...and put them into your frying pan!

It starts with the heat. The DiamondPlus skillet heats up more quickly and evenly without hot spots. Hot spots don’t only ruin dinner, they can cause permanent damage to your pan. Ordinary non-stick surfaces can’t handle high cooking temperatures and buckle under the stress. Diamond Plus pans are safe up to 500ºF and guaranteed not to warp.

DiamondPlus reinforces the surface of every pan using an advanced, German-engineered process using robotics and nano-technology. The application forms a virtually indestructible surface that is guaranteed not to crack, blister, bubble or peel. And because it conducts heat so uniformly, you can sear, brown, steam, stir-fry and sauté evenly and quickly. Clean-up is just a wipe away!

And while you wouldn’t dare use metal utensils on some “nonstick” pans, diamond is the hardest, most durable non-stick surface in the world. Go ahead and use your metal spatula without worry. We’re so sure of the toughness of DiamondPlus cookware that we offer a LIFETIME guarantee…no wonder. DiamondPlus™ Pans: A. #21647 10-pc. Set—$699.00 10-pc. set includes; 8" Fry Pan, 9.5" Fry Pan & Cover, 2.1 qt. Sauce Pan & Cover, 3.2 qt. Sauce Pan & Cover, 6.3 qt. Soup Pot & Cover and 11" Sauté Pan.

The first grandfather clock that fits in your pocket In 1876 Henry Clay Work wrote a famous song about a clock his grandfather owned that ran for as long as the man lived, some 90 years. It’s from that song “grandfather” clocks got their name. We can only hope that our Stauer Grandfather Pocket Watch will stick around that long, but if nothing else, maybe it will help you keep that cell phone in your pocket the next time someone asks for the time. In our opinion, those cold digital displays just can’t compete with the classic refinement of this watch’s elegant gold-toned case and beautifully embossed white dial. Who wouldn’t rather show off the stylish details of the sun/moon dial window and 24-hour indicator? Just like Henry’s grandfather’s clock, this watch is kept running with old-fashioned manual winding. And the escapement and balance wheel are visible through the hardened crystal, showing off the timeless craftsmanship that results in perfect time and performance. Just because something can fit in your pocket doesn’t mean it has to stay there. Comes complete with a classic 14" pocketwatch chain. D. #19967 Stauer Grandfather Pocket Watch—$495.00 $12900

Seeing is believing

Off into the wild blue yonder

Of course they believed the priest when he told them about the city. The Friar said he had seen it with his own eyes, from a distance on the hill. It gleamed in the sunlight, he said. It was a place more beautiful than any he had ever seen. In 1540, you take a holy man for his word. And that word was good enough for Francisco Vazquez de Coronado and his men. Who needed El Dorado when you had such a credible eyewitness to the legendary Seven Cities of Gold?

There’s a whole world of color where only pilots can reach. Up over the clouds, where the sun shines all day. Reds, purples and blues D. that make you feel like you’ve just seen heaven. Or so they say. But those colors so high above? You can also find them deep underground. Our brilliant Blue Diamond Ring features a natural hand-cut mined diamond that has been gemologically heated to intensify the blue color spectrum of the natural stone to a rare and dazzling, color-enhanced Atlantic Blue. Stauer Blue Diamonds are available in a one-half carat ring or as a full 1 carat ring showcased in an elegant four-pronged setting of 18K white gold. Don’t miss this chance to own your very own piece of blue heaven.

Unfortunately, the epic trek taken by the Spanish conquistador (along with 300 Spanish cavalrymen and 1000 Indians) ended in disappointment. The fabled golden oasis was nothing more than a neighborhood of Zuni pueblos. Perhaps the priest hallucinated in the desert heat. Maybe he just needed glasses. Whatever the reason, you can rest assured that our 14K Gold Coronado Bracelet is no mirage. This is one gold legend that we’ve proven is 100% true. Take a closer look at how talented Peruvian artisans have woven strands of the precious metal to resemble fine tapestry. It’s a carefully-choreographed dance of intertwined 14K gold wire that creates a luxurious, lightweight band that almost floats on your wrist. The 7 1⁄2" Coronado Bracelet fastens securely with a snap-locking clasp.

One look at the recent, record-breaking gold prices proves a point: the same stuff that drove one Spanish hero on a wild goose chase hasn’t lost an ounce of its magical appeal.

We found our finest watch in a history book While Napoleon was conquering Europe, the world’s finest watchmaker was conquering gravity. Abraham-Louis had made a clock for Napoleon but his new invention would become the most prized timepiece for the next 209 years—the Tourbillon. As Napoleon was being crowned King of Italy, Abraham Louis was receiving his patent for a movement so complex that it would counter the effects of gravity. Today only a handful of fine watch craftsmen can build a tourbillon. Rolex doesn’t even try. Stauer not only has mastered the rotating cage and the handcrafted escapement but we do it at a price that literally sets back the clock to Napoleon’s time. The Stauer Corsican is priced at under $1,000. None of the so called luxury brands price their tourbillons at under $20,000 but they still believe in the outdated notion that luxury hand craftsmanship needs to be exorbitantly overpriced. We believe that the Corsican will become the most successful of the rare Tourbillions in history. Each tourbillion takes more than 6 months to engineer and this will be a strict limited edition of 1805—the year that the tourbillon was introduced. This timepiece is for those who truly appreciate history, scientific innovation, rarity, and value. I think that I just described the Stauer client.

A stunning 4 carat Scienza™ Lab-created Emerald Centerpiece layered in luxurious platinum. Science has found a way to build a better emerald. A jewel as vivid as you’ve ever seen with flashes of gorgeous green that usually only show up around spring. Even then, only in the most remote parts of the Brazilian rainforest. It’s true. The mineral composition, heat and pressure of Scienza™ are all controlled in the laboratory, so the scientifically-grown emeralds have more luster and brilliance than most mined stones. Scienza emeralds are identical to the natural gem in every way: color, sparkle, hardness, and composition. The one big difference is price. Our Verde Ring features a stunning 4-carat Scienza lab-created emerald centerpiece. The emeraldcut lab stone is set in the finest platinum-layered, .925 sterling silver. Both shoulders absolutely sparkle with a dozen lab-created DiamondAura® baguettes and 30 brilliant DiamondAura rounds. Each row of scientifically-grown white stones is lined with exquisite silverwork that only enhances the ring’s overall brilliance. Mother Nature has never been more envious!

The light of the silvery moon We shut off the lights and snuffed the candles at midnight. Our island villa was completely dark until the full moon slipped out from behind the clouds. Suddenly it felt like a late-night sunrise, all soft white glow and hazy shadows. And I remember her sterling watch sparkled like never before. Every polished edge glittered to life, the reflected light twinkled in her eyes and we decided to open another bottle of wine. Sleep could wait until tomorrow.

For thousands of years, the shine of silver has been connected to the luminous light of the moon. You can trace the connection back through the ancient art of alchemy, when the Seven Noble Metals were first linked with their corresponding heavenly bodies. Gold symbolized the radiant warmth and fire of the sun, but nothing captured the dreamy cool of the moon like silver. The legendary metal became the element of imagination and inspiration. This inspired us to create the Stauer Sterling Silver Ingot Watch. This classic timepiece features a high polished rectangular case that frames a mirror dial with an authentic .925 sterling silver ingot face. Genuine Austrian crystals add a touch of elegance by marking the 3, 6, and 9 o’clock positions. The top of the ingot is etched with the eye-catching Stauer compass design and the inscription verifies it as fine .925 sterling silver. Inside, the watch movement is a precision Swiss quartz with a sweeping second hand. The flexible high polished bracelet with safety fold-over clasp is water-resistant to 3 ATMs. Looks fabulous all day long... but even better after dark! 6 ½" to 8" with adjustable lengths.

After 500 years, Italy’s greatest race finally gets its trophy

BOnus! Buy 30 carats of genuine ruBies and get another 30 carats free!

Trumpets blare and the Piazzo del Campo explodes. You stand in a sea of thousands where nothing can be heard above the B. cheers. This is the start of the Palio di Siena, Italy’s most historic horse race. Soon, ten bareback riders will risk their lives for 90 seconds of glory. But first comes a bishop’s blessing followed by knights on horseback, clad in armor and followed by a regal procession of chariots, banners, and costumed soldiers. This is the pageantry of the Italian Renaissance and you can’t experience it anywhere else in the world. But finally, after five centuries, we’ve created a way for you to bring the spectacle home: the stunning Palio 30-Carat Ruby Necklace. This is the same necklace you might see on a Renaissance beauty as she watched from luxury box seats. Back then, Italian royalty like the Borgias, Orsinis and Medicis were the only ones who could afford a 30-carat masterpiece of precious red rubies. Not any more. Inside the floral-inspired, gold-fused metalwork, we’ve set six genuine rubies (5 carats each). The 18" necklace finishes with a medium-weight, gold-fused cable chain that secures with a lobster clasp. Plus, when you choose the Palio Ruby Necklace, we’ll give you the Palio Ruby Bracelet as a BONUS!

The DiamondAura Brillanté Timepiece. With 1 carat of scientifically-created stones with more fire than mined diamonds and a super hard construction that will even cut glass, it’s time to wear DiamondAura in the sleekest-designed timepiece of the year. Sometimes, you need an extra little sparkle to brighten up your world—just as long as it doesn’t cost too much! That’s why, not satisfied by great design and the advances in stone science, we have made this the best value in a woman’s watch that you will find. With date functionality and chronograph functions including a one-second stopwatch, this lovely stainless steel bracelet layered in 18K gold will catch your eye with every twist of the wrist. Even the butterfly clasp is the kind used on watches that can cost 10 times as much! And we promise that this bracelet is so soft that it will literally feel like butter on the skin. It’s time to celebrate with a little flash of brilliance. Fits wrists up to 8". C. #19263 Stauer Ladies DiamondAura® Brillanté Timepiece (1 ctw)—$495.00 4 payments of $49

Swiss made

Swiss diver hits rock bottom The best dive watches on Earth are made by artists with their heads in the clouds. You can’t get any further away from the ocean floor than a watchmaker’s workshop in the snowy Swiss Alps. Serious dive enthusiasts swear by Switzerland’s legendary craftsmen, who have earned their reputation as “Timekeepers to the World.” Once upon a time you needed your own Swiss bank account to afford the caché that came with owning a genuine Swiss-made chronograph. But today we shatter our own record and shock the luxury retail world with our Stauer Swiss Dive Biosphere—yours for under $300! The elegant gold-on-midnight palette and two-tone stainless link bracelet gives this tough watch a sophisticated look. But the Biosphere is no fashion plate. It’s a luxury watch that isn’t afraid to get its hands dirty. It’s water-resistant down to 660 feet or 20 atmospheres, a feat facilitated by a hardened sapphire crystal and screw-down back. And luminous hands and markers afford clearer visibility in low-light surroundings—perfect for wreck-diving off the coast of Spain or dining after dark in Paris. Fits wrist 7" – 8 3/4".

The only ring graded VSOP

The six million dollar timepiece for under $200? DiamondAura® has been one of our most ingenious creations at Stauer. The fantastic alternative to diamonds has become the choice of well over 100,000 of our clients. We have spent $6,000,000 creating DiamondAura. Heated and pressurized to almost 5000 degrees, the laboratory has created jewels that are simply stunning. Until recently, this incredible scientific stone was only available in our exclusive jewelry designs. But now it’s time for something new.

Harvest time in the Cognac region of France. We’re in the middle of a walking tour of the brandy vineyards. Big names, little names and every one in between. The trick is to pace yourself. These grapes have been here since the Romans planted them 2000 years ago. They aren’t going anywhere.

Inspired by the art and science of crafting a fine aged brandy, we created the Cognac Ring. At the center, an impressive 9 ¾ carat, lab-created DiamondAura®. The cushioncut, brandy-colored centerpiece sits high on a four-pronged gold vermeil setting. On G. either side, two half-moon white DiamondAura fit snug against the pale golden superstar. Cognac-colored diamonds are incredibly rare and have shot up in value over the years. Our goal was to match the subtle color of prized natural stones that can fetch upwards of $15,000 per carat. After close inspection of the Cognac Ring, I’m proud to say that I can raise a glass and offer a toast to our glowing success.

Take 400 carats as prescribed Giant 400 Carat Necklace

I’m a big fan of the simple, shootfrom-the-hip kind of medical proB. fessional who dispenses more common-sense advice than prescriptions. “Get more sleep.” “Take it easy.” “Don’t work so hard.” I make it a point to visit the MD who has more travel brochures than medical textbooks. My physician opens “The 1000 Most Beautiful Places in the World,” points to a page and says, “Go here and call me in two weeks.” I end up visiting a lot of sandy places with turquoise-hued lagoons. Turquoise-hued skies. Lots and lots of soothing turquoise... which got me thinking about the magical hue. It’s the kind of color that immediately sets you at ease. Normally, you only find it in faraway places where shoes are optional and laziness is encouraged. But we found a way to bring it home. Our Raindrop Caribbean Necklace may or may not ward off illness. But one thing’s certain. Wearing it is a surefire way to be chronically dazzling. The dramatic strand features 400 polished carats of blue-green raindrops, anchored by a stunning, smooth-crackled Caribbean pendant and secures with a .925 sterling silver lobster clasp. It’s just what the doctor ordered.

125 carats of genuine blue topaz under $250!

Ever since the 1770s, blue has been our official favorite color. So says a wise Princeton professor. Well, we tend to agree with him. Blue can be as warm and comfortable as a pair of blue jeans or cool as ice. Our cool 125 carats of blue topaz can certainly heat up any night.

Back in 1921, America’s first baseball game was broadcast on the radio. Valentino wooed audiences as “The Sheik” on the big screen. A scruffy scientist named Einstein won the Nobel Prize in Physics. And if you slipped into a speakeasy, it’s likely you slapped a Morgan Silver Dollar onto the bar to pay for that forbidden nip of whiskey. One of the most widely desired of all U.S. coins, the Morgan Silver Dollar has become a legend. It’s easy to see why—the largest silver currency ever to circulate in the United States, Morgan dollars are 90% silver. Now, the master watchmakers at Stauer have combined this beloved coin with legendary Swiss movement to create a remarkable timepiece. The Morgan Silver Dollar Watch features a genuine Morgan silver dollar as its face, set inside a gold-fused, coin-edged case. Master engraver George Morgan’s radiant profile of Lady Liberty provides a striking backdrop for the blued, Breguet-style hands. Etched Roman numerals along the edge of the dial and a sapphire crown add the final elegant touches. The Morgan Watch fastens with a brown, crocodile-grain leather strap and gold-fused buckle. Don’t miss this chance to secure your own limited-edition masterpiece! C. #18295 Morgan Silver Dollar Watch—$495.00 3 payments of $99

This Silver Lady can still turn heads

A way to celebrate our favorite color

Bohemian beauty bears breathtaking fruit An explosion of garnet. I like the sound of that. And it also happens to be a pretty accurate description of our Europa F. Garnet Ring. Seems fitting too, since the origins of both the word grenade and garnet are the same. Both find their roots in the pomegranate, that succulent and stupendous fruit known for its abundant collection of fiery red seeds. In fact, that’s just the dynamic look that G. jewelry designers in the Czech Republic are going for when they create jewelry in the age-old Bohemian garnet style. And the entire Europa Ring follows that tradition perfectly. Taking a cue from generations of Czech craftsmanship, we’ve packed the garnet tightly here, delicately prong setting the 1½ carat round-cut center stone and each of its two halos of rich red gems in gold-plated .925 sterling silver. Just enough of the golden glint shines through to set this piece ablaze. And the same sweet Bohemian inspiration glows prominently in the matching earrings and necklace.

Indulge yourself– over 3 carats of rich, red garnet!

An elegant look in white that won’t put you in the red

Pharaoh’s treasure found on desert island

White ceramic watches are the hottest designer item going today. But when I saw that genuine Swiss Movement ceramics were topping $5,000.00, I decided that drastic measures had to be taken. So I called our designers in Switzerland and told them I wanted the kind of timepiece that goes for a short walk down the runway on a supermodel’s wrist and then gets quickly escorted by armed guards safely back to the vault. And I told them to deliver a Stauer timepiece that packed the same kind of “wow”...at a price with much less “ow.” Mission accomplished. Our Stauer Ladies Swiss Movement Ceramic Watch is lightweight, durable and incredibly scratch-resistant. The luxurious face features hands and indices fused with rich rose gold, with a date window between the 4 o’clock and 5 o’clock positions. The rose gold-fused bezel, set with dual rings of lab-created DiamondAura®, catches brilliant flashes of light with every twist of the wrist. Crafted with a legendary genuine Swiss Movement and water resistant to 3 ATMs, it’s as functional as it is fashionable. Fits wrists 6 ½ to 7 ½". Plus and we’ll send you $300 in Stauer Gift Coupons with your order. That’s $25 per month that you can use for 12 months with no minimum purchase required.

The legend of peridot began on a remote volcanic island called Zagbargad, located about 50 miles from the coast in the Red Sea. For F. weary Egyptian sailors, the desert island must have seemed like the opposite of paradise. It was a barren, rocky nowhere surrounded by coral reefs that tore their ancient wooden boats to pieces. It didn’t help that the isle was often shrouded in fog. But the island also hid a secret, a rich supply of the vivid green gem G. we know as peridot. And once that gorgeous green glint caught the eye of Ancient Egypt’s pharaohs, the mysterious little island would never be the same. Our Peridot Cluster Ring captures that radiant color in an elegant corsage of marquisecut peridot, set in gleaming sterling silver. We’ve arranged all 18 gems in a blossom of fiery facets that delivers a dramatic light show, even indoors. E. #W5598 Peridot Sunburst Ring (2 ctw)—$195.00 $99.00 Specify ring size 5-10 when ordering.

The official color of passion The Ancient Greeks and Romans prized red coral for its ability to protect against evil and misfortune. But what protected them against the seductive powers of the sultry red gem? Our Fire Coral Pendant is a ridiculously red cabochon of sponge coral, polished to a highC. gloss. We call this the official color of passion. This is the red that every other red secretly wants to be. It smacks of wet lipstick and smoldering coals. This is the kind of color D. that gets you into trouble. We turned up the heat even more by framing the 60-carat coral teardrop in a beaded sterling setting, handcrafted by the master silversmiths of Bali. Complete the look by adding the Necklace, which features 100 carats of smooth-polished red coral beads. The strand secures with a unique sterling clasp that glitters like a treasure of antiquity thanks to elegant beadwork and the added sparkle of marcasite. You can complete the set with a pair of matching earrings, each features a 10-carat dollop of romantic color from a sterling silver French hook. Red hot has never looked cooler.

Blind date is love at first sight I.

Go ahead and stare. That’s exactly what you’re supposed to do when faced with an opal. Get lost in the rainbow hues and entranced by the shimmering swirls. Through history, the opal was always associated with the eyes and it’s easy to understand why. The stone that Shakespeare once described as the “Queen of Gems” is an absolute knockout. A real looker. But sometimes even the pretty ones get lonely.

That’s why we set the Queen up with some company. Lucky for us, the “blind date” turned out to be love at first sight. Our Tanzanite & Opal Pendant features a snowy opal cabochon, prong-set in 14K gold-fused sterling silver. Each opal radiates with its own unique fire, flashing ribbons of pink, yellow, green and red with even the slightest twist. Eight faceted tanzanite ovals surround the centerpiece with flickers of vivid violet. And the entire “gem flower” dangles from a polished, gold-fused sterling bail on an 18" chain (with 2" extender). The matching omega-back earrings and gold-fused ring repeat the design of the pendant to create a spectacular set of precious stones. Another love connection from the Gemstone Cupids at Stauer!

We finally mastered the art of “Black Magic”

During a recent stay in Tahiti, I watched veteran pearl divers at work. And I realized that growing a perfectly-shaped, perfectlysmooth giant pearl is still hit or miss. That’s why, after years of searching, we found brilliant bioscientists who harvested the finest mother of pearl (or nacre) from some of the world’s most exceptional oysters. This costly material is then shaped, organically hand-coated and meticulously hand-polished into a spectacular sphere of iridescent color. The resulting black beauty is more round and radiant than world’s most exclusive, luxury-priced cultured pearls. By speeding up and taking control of the process, we created our Tahiti Black Peacock Necklace, a stunning strand of consistently round and luminous Tahiti Black Peacocks. The 18" necklace features exceptionally large 14mm spheres and is hand-strung, double-knotted and secures with an elegant, gold-fused toggle clasp. Each necklace captures the vivid luster and heavyweight feel without the exorbitant cost. Our Tahiti Black Peacocks are also more durable and less porous for better wear.

Using one of the most complex regulator movements ever developed, Stauer has designed the stunning hand engraved Regulator Series 7. By separating the large minute dial from the small hour dial, Stauer has produced a rare timepiece engineered to take on the likes of Rolex® and Patek Philippe®. This will be the watch that you will pass down from generation to generation. The separate hour and minute dials of this unique watch will mesmerize you. The artisans crafted a dial that is machined into a magnificent silver-white guilloché etching. The AM/PM complication is depicted by a classic sun and moon graphic. The 22-jeweled movement oscillates at 21,600 vibrations per hour for accuracy to within seconds per day. The escapement and balance wheel are visible through the Cotswold® crystal, while the exhibition back reveals the bronze finished automatic rotor which keeps the watch wound with a simple flick of the wrist. The black croc-embossed band, crafted from the finest Italian leather, affords an extra degree of refinement and luxury. It took us over three years of development to complete the Regulator Series 7, so we do expect to be out of this limited edition soon. Fits wrists 7"–9".

Capture the most romantic half second in history

One full carat of natural diamonds under $200

The Ora Diamond Hourglass Necklace is a constant reminder that the most valuable moment is the present. Though horology has evolved, there is no more romantic representation of the past, present and future than this legendary timekeeper. Flip the hourglass and one carat of crushed diamonds sifts from one globe to the next in a split second. The blink of an eye. The beat of a heart. The smack of a kiss. This is what a life together is built on, those fleeting moments that come and go in an instant, but will surely linger for a lifetime. Look closely and you’ll see that the craftsmanship involved is absolutely exquisite. The 14K gold vermeil outer cage of the hourglass protects the smooth curves of the diamond-filled glass bulbs. The shimmering chips of natural diamond flow smoothly from one bulb to the next and sparkle with the same brilliance you would expect from history’s most treasured gemstone. The Ora Hourglass swings from an 18" braided, gold vermeil chain that secures with a spring-ring clasp. Don’t let another second slip away without reminding her that there’s no moment more beautiful than right now. D. 20918 Ora Diamond Hourglass Necklace (1 ctw)—$295.00 $199.00 Save $96

Raise a toast to the Roman Empire C.

During the rule of Nero, one of the Roman Empire’s most coveted treasures wasn’t diamonds, gold or emeralds. It was fluorite, a rare mineral that was carved into ornate drinking vessels called vasa murrina, crafted exclusively for the Empire’s wealthy and powerful elite.

Our Empire Fluorite Necklace features a faceted 19 carat oval of smoky green fluorite. The light D. dances across the transparent stone like sunlight shimmering on the Mediterranean and is prongset atop a starburst of white, lab-created DiamondAura® set in 14K gold-layered sterling silver.

We have nothing to hide The secret is out: Our most revealing watch can be yours for less than $150!

hat does time really look like? I was peering over the shoulder of one of our master watchmakers when I found my answer. He assembled every tiny spring, gear and component with the steady hand of a surgeon. When his creation finally came to life, more than 130 precision parts worked in harmony to count the seconds. And I wondered: If the true essence of time is hidden inside this meticulous mechanical symphony, then why cover it up? The Stauer Gold-Fused Verité (French for “truth”) gives you an unobstructed window into the inner workings of time itself. Since many of our most popular timepieces feature open case backs, it seemed clear that our clients appreciated transparency. It was time to take it all off. It was time to lose face.

Without the traditional opaque dial, the Verité gives you a clear, front-to-back view of the expertly-crafted time machine inside. No part of the miniature masterpiece is obscured. You see every second pass with gear clicks and the hummingbird flutter of the balance wheel. Unlike traditional skeletons, the rare design of the Verité condenses the entire watchworks into a much smaller area. The Verité fits a classic hand-wind movement into an elegant golden-hued “bridge.” Because such precision requires a watchmaker of exceptional skill, similar luxury-brand designs can sell for as much as $20,000. Today we can offer you this outstanding work of mechanical art...for $19,851 less! Inside, two blued hands mark time along Roman numerals that float on a clear dial inside the gold-fused case. Wheels and screws glisten in metallic blue, silver and gold colors, balanced by 17 shimmering jewels. The Gold-Fused Verité secures with a genuine brown leather strap and is water-resistant to 3 ATMs. Fits wrists 6 ¾"-8 ½". E. #20535 Stauer Gold-fused Verité Watch—$595.00 $149.00 Save $446

New! Is the oldest rolling stone retiring?

Game, set... perfect match

Not a chance. Why would anyone retire after centuries of rocking out if they’re still in the prime of their career? And yes, I said centuries. That’s because I’m not talking about an aging musician. I’m talking about the stone that has been rolling through history perhaps longer than any other: Jasper.

Ever notice how much bling is showing up on the back court these days? Whether it’s the red clay of the French Open in Paris or the green grass of Wimbledon, the lovely ladies of tennis are serving up some serious carats on the court. But unless you happen to be a Williams sister or a Russian blonde bombshell, the odds are good that those over-the-top diamond creations are a bit extravagant for everyday wear.

Mentioned numerous times in the Bible, jasper was said to be a direct gift from God. The Ancient Egyptians wore jasper to increase positive energy. In India it was believed to be a rain stone, bringing water during droughts. And to this day, jasper shows no signs of collecting moss. It’s still highly sought after, although less for its mystical properties. Nowadays it’s jasper’s smooth, natural beauty that attracts attention. And that’s just what we’re offering with our Prastar Jasper Bracelet. Each of the 21 individual fancy jasper shards has been shaped and polished, giving the entire one-size-fits-all expandable 8’’ bracelet a shine to be envied. From speckled violet to deep forest green, jasper’s vast array of colors and patterns is on full display here, demonstrating its ability to be absolutely unique and beautiful all at once. The Prastar Jasper Bracelet is definitely one of this stone’s greatest hits!

Russia’s yolk hero The Czar’s jeweler was a genius. As the creator of decorative pieces for Russia’s royalty, the master craftsman and his assistants created dozens of unique Imperial Eggs. No two were the same and each is now worth a fortune. He invented new jewelry techniques, created bold colors and pushed F. E. his elite group of artists to boldly go where even they had not gone before. It’s fitting then that we pay tribute to Russia’s legendary royal egg art with some innovation of our own. This decorative, enameled, Viridian Sea Jewelry Egg evokes the style of the Romanov masterpieces. Marine blues and greens dance among the ornate, hand-painted scallop design and the entire egg rests elegantly on a gold-layered, crystal-studded stand.

Spectacular new hybrid runs forever without any gas Innovation is the path to the future. Stauer takes that seriously. That’s why we developed the Stauer Compendium, a stunningly designed hybrid chronograph with both analog and digital functions housed in a rugged stainless steel case that is more powerful than any watch you’ve worn until now.

New technology usually starts out at astronomical prices and then comes down years later. We skipped that step. We originally priced the Stauer Compendium Hybrid at $395 based on the market for sports watches... but then stopped ourselves. Since this is no ordinary economy, we decided to start at 87% off from day one.

Renew your wows

I kept it from my wife for weeks, until our anniversary weekend. It was a clear evening and we stepped out onto the terrace for a look at the Paris skyline. I’m sure the Champs-Élysées glittered like a river of diamonds and the full moon blazed like a 100-watt bulb... but all I remember was her and her necklace. The Midnight Sapphire Drop Necklace features a faceted pear of genuine sapphire that weighs in at an amazing 12 carats! Secured with a twist of gold-fused wire, the gem dangles elegantly from an 18" cable chain that we’ve luxuriously layered in gold. We’ve even added some opulent accents to the chain: a pair of fabulous one carat sapphire beads flanked by Bali-style spacers and lustrous, vanilla freshwater pearls. And we’ve created an equally fetching pair of companion earrings to round out the night’s ensemble. Guaranteed to light up the night!

These days, the world is preoccupied with price. Investment experts talk about gold as a commodity. Buy! Sell! Melt it down. Cash it in. Hoard it in the basement. What happened to the magic? We believe there’s still a little inside. We don’t go for the sun god stuff these days, but gold still looks and lasts as if it were divine. Maybe those Egyptians were on to something after all.

The Compendium’s extraordinary dial seamlessly blends a mechanical watch face with a stylish digital display. Three luminous hands (including a bold red second hand) keep time along the inner dial, while a trio of circular LCD windows track the hour, minutes and seconds. Of course there is a stop watch function and the Compendium Hybrid is water resistant to 3 ATMs. An eyecatching digital semi-circle animates in time with the second hand and shows the day of the week. The watch also features a rotating bezel, alarm and blue, electro-luminescence backlight. At Stauer, we believe that when faced with an uphill economy, innovation and better value will always provide a much-needed boost.

Wife discovers secret office romance... and she’s thrilled C.

No substance on Earth elicits the same reaction as gold. Man has loved the shiny stuff for millennia, though not always for the same reasons. Back when the pyramids were still a work in progress, ancient Egyptians believed gold was literally the flesh of the gods. They worshipped Ra, god of the Sun and creator of all creation, and believed gold to be imbued with all of his divine power. That explained gold’s heavenly shine and seemingly supernatural resistance to damage or deterioration.

Marriage is not a wedding. Or a honeymoon. Or even a Golden Anniversary. F. Marriage is a journey that you take one day at a time. It’s a road with ups, downs and plenty of curves along the way. We don’t always know what lies ahead, but we have plenty of ways to keep things interesting. Learn to tango. Head south for the weekend. Or just take her breath away with a tiny box. We’ve definitely designed the DiamondAura® Dearly Beloved Set with matrimony in mind. The engagement ring captures the rush of romance with a dramatic lab-created DiamondAura centerpiece and the ornate shoulders are set with smaller, brilliant rounds. Set in an exquisitely-detailed sterling silver band, the brilliant, 2-carat round-cut sparkles with even more fire and clarity than a “D” flawless natural diamond. The loving couple is made complete with an equally stunning wedding band, lavished with channel-set, lab-created DiamondAura in an elegant band lush with vintage-inspired detail. Whether you’re popping the question for the first time or celebrating a marital milestone, you’ve found the right happy couple

2 carats of Genuine Tanzanite

The calm during the storm There was nothing special about the boat. And that made it perfect. I was looking for the deep sea fishing experience I’d never had before, to visit the ledges and wrecks where commercial charters rarely go. I got all that and more. The Captain looked the part. Scruffy beard. Cigarette dangling from his lips. And he certainly knew what he was doing. As we headed out, the sky turned black and the ocean churned. Other boats scrambled to get back in, but Hombre just kept pushing. When I suggested returning, all he said was, “It’ll pass.”

He was right. And I have the photo of a 6-foot shark to prove it. So, in Hombre’s honor I’ve decided to offer the Black Onyx Mako Ring. Simple. Strong. And as black as the sky turned that day. The onyx is a rectangular-cut cabochon set in robustly constructed .925 sterling silver. Around its base we’ve wound an 18K gold-fused rope accent, and along its stout shoulders we’ve included detailed silver work reminiscent of the clouds and fish that are such a large part of a captain’s life. The inside of the ring is just as striking, with the same silver work embellishing the band beneath the steadfast onyx above. Every time I glance at that picture with my trophy fish, I think of Hombre. And now every time I wear this ring, I will do the same.

African gem cutter makes $2,689,000 mistake...will you?

his story breaks my heart every time. Allegedly, just two years after the discovery of tanzanite in 1967, a Maasai tribesman knocked on the door of a gem cutter’s office in Nairobi. The Maasai had brought along an enormous chunk of tanzanite and he was looking to sell. His asking price? Fifty dollars. But the gem cutter was suspicious and assumed that a stone so large could only be glass. The cutter told the tribesman, no thanks, and sent him on his B. way. Huge mistake. It turns out that the gem was genuine and could have produced a dazzling stone that would have easily dwarfed the world’s largest cut tanzanite at the time. Based on common pricing, that “chunk” could have been worth close to $3,000,000! The tanzanite gem cutter missed his chance to hit the jeweler’s jackpot...and make history. Would you have made the same mistake then? Will you make it today?

In the decades since its discovery, tanzanite has become one of the world’s most coveted gemstones. Found in only one remote place on Earth (in Tanzania’s Merelani Hills, in the shadow of Mount

Kilimanjaro), the precious purple stone is 1000 times rarer than diamonds. Luxury retailers have been quick to sound the alarm, warning that supplies of tanzanite will not last forever. And in this case, they’re right. Once the last purple gem is pulled from the Earth, that’s it. No more tanzanite. Most believe that we only have a few years supply left, which is why it’s so amazing for us to offer this incredible price break. Some retailers along Fifth Avenue are more than happy to charge you as if the mines were drying up tomorrow. Not Stauer. Staying true to our contrarian nature, we’ve decided to lower the price of one of the world’s rarest and most popular gemstones. Our 2-Carat Sunburst Tanzanite Ring features marquis-cut gems set dramatically in sterling silver. Each facet sparkles with the distinct violet-blue hue of the precious stones. Behind the shine you’ll find that the exquisite silverwork of the setting calls to mind the detailed treasures being produced by Europe’s finest jewelers.

The gladiator’s timepiece The Colosseum is quiet now, but 1600 years ago it was loud with the clash of steel, the roars of big cats and the shouting of 50,000 spectators. When the Roman gladiators were good, they enjoyed fame and fortune. When they were great, they became heroes.

Genuine 4th Century Roman Coin E.

The greatest fought for years and some scored as many as 150 victories. Such long careers were made even more impressive by the fact that defeat often meant death. There was no such thing as an “off season.” Every battle was for first place and any day could have been their last. We’ve designed the 4th Century Roman Coin Watch to celebrate these noble warriors. Taking a place of honor at the center of the unique dial is a genuine Roman coin minted between 324-361 AD, during the reign of the Constantine dynasty. This is the very same ancient coin gladiators would earn as victory pay. Inscribed underneath is “Carpe Diem” (Latin for “Seize the Day”), which must have been the mantra for men in constant combat. The watch marks the hours in the narrow window that shows a rotating inner dial. A red hand tracks the minutes along the outer dial, marked with blued Roman numerals. The distinctive face is housed inside a sturdy, 14K gold-fused case with an exhibition back to showcase the meticulous automatic movement. The timepiece fastens with a brown, genuine leather band and is water-resistant up to 3 ATMs. A heroic blend of history and modern style that more than earns its ‘thumbs up.’ Fits wrists 7"-8 ¾".

Inspired by the greatest year in movie making history

Your ticket to Hollywood’s Golden Age Stauer salutes the elegance and style of 1930s moviemaking with a uniquely retro luxury timepiece.

ollywood got it right in 1938. Just look at the list of films released or in production that year: “Gone with the Wind,” “Mr. Smith Goes to Washington,” “The Wizard of Oz,” “The Adventures of Robin Hood.” It doesn’t get any bigger or better. And back then, screen idols created the gold standard for movie star style and celebrities have been trying to keep up ever since. Just hearing their names conjures an image of sophisticated cool: Cagney, Olivier, Garbo and Leigh. Gable, Davis, Flynn and Tracy. We longed for that bygone era of elegance so much that we decided to build a time machine.

The Stauer 1938 Majestic Watch is a sleek tribute to Hollywood’s Golden Age. This is the watch that the big screen’s biggest stars might have flaunted at red carpet premieres or the Academy Awards®. After combing through hundreds of vintage watches, we found a co-star worthy of history’s most popular leading men. The streamlined Art Deco design and

unique display of the Majestic was inspired by a rare timepiece style of the 1930s. Wristwatches with digital indication used rotating discs instead of hands to show the time. Finding similar vintage movements in working order is rare. And even then, it can cost you a small fortune. But, by painstakingly reproducing the complex mechanics, we’ve given you a more accurate update of the stylish original. That’s like getting balcony seats at the world premiere for the price of a matinee. The easy-to-read dial shows the hour and minute through a triangular window in the gold-toned, stainless steel case. Powered by a precise movement, the Majestic secures with a black leather strap and is water-resistant to 3 ATMs. Finally a Hollywood remake that gets it right! Fits wrist 6 ¾"- 8 ¼".

Flash of the Titans Legendary strength and style of titanium E.

Tortoise Frames with Polarized TriLenium™ Gold Lens

Certain guys can’t help being tough and stylish. Classic leading men like Cooper, Bogart, and Grant. With them it was all about balance. No silly tough-guy machismo. No pompous demeanor. Just straight-shooting masculinity paired with class. And that’s exactly what we’ve achieved with the Pallas Titanium Bracelet. Titanium was named after the Titans of Greek mythology, “the incarnation of natural strength.” The name fits. The Titans were one tough bunch. And titanium is one tough metal, used in everything from high performance cars to turbine blades. But it’s also the perfect precious metal for that black tie affair. The Pallas (named for the Titan associated with war) incorporates a twotoned presentation of polished titanium on the outer links and brushed satin-finished titanium through the center for a streamlined look with some personality. And then for that added bit of style, we added a touch of white heat with a single, shimmering DiamondAura® round that flashes with more fire than a mined diamond. The perfect pairing of rugged and refined. E. #21342 8 ½" Pallas Titanium Bracelet—$179.00 $99.00 Save $80

To honor the adventurous spirit of the first transatlantic pilots, we based our design on historical timepieces worn by the daredevil aviators of the 1930s. Crossing the ocean, they relied on the navigating functions of their pilot’s watches. But those original versions didn’t have the “brainpower” of the Transatlantic. As a matter of fact, today’s commercial pilots and air traffic controllers use this same atomic clock technology to keep fleets of commuter jets safely on course and on time.

Much like our faithful four-legged friends, your favorite automatic watch is happiest when taken for a walk. A stroll in the park. A quick jog to the corner. The watch doesn’t care, so long as it’s moving. It’s the constant motion that keeps a self-winding mechanism working. Leave a watch sitting still for too long and time literally stops dead. Thankfully, we can spare you such tragedy.

Inside the handsome, gold-fused case, a distinctive dial marks both analog and digital time. The Transatlantic secures with a genuine brown leather band. It’s a powerful watch. Not powerful enough to guarantee that all your flights will be on time. But at least you’ll never be late. E. #20903 Stauer Transatlantic Atomic Watch—$295.00 $149.00

Every story my family told about Vincenzo was a cautionary tale. They were thrilling and dangerous, but they always ended with someone telling me to “never EVER do what Vin did.” He was related to somebody on my mother’s side, but those details didn’t matter. All I cared about was his job on the Brooklyn Bridge. He climbed the towers and worked on the giant suspension cables. He scrambled like a superhero hundreds of feet over the East River. He was fearless and remains the toughest man I’ve ever met. But even a guy like him would have a soft spot for this bracelet. The Vincenzo Bracelet is an accessory for the man who doesn’t fool around. Simple and rugged, the 8 ½" bracelet is forged from thick stainless steel links that showcase a trio of twisted steel cable. It’s the kind of piece that looks like it came from a motorcycle mechanic’s workbench instead of a jeweler’s display case... which is just what Vin would have preferred.

In 1939, new technologies pushed us headlong into the modern age. Pilots flew the first transatlantic commercial flights connecting New York to Paris. Simultaneously, brilliant physicists like Enrico Fermi were discovering atomic power. Both led to the development of the most accurate watch the world has ever known: The Stauer Transatlantic Atomic Watch. This vintage-inspired, aviator-styled watch uses the most advanced time reading technology ever developed. The Transatlantic actually receives the time directly from the world’s most accurate atomic clock, the NIST-F1, located deep in the Colorado mountains. The clock is so accurate that it only loses one second every 20 MILLION YEARS.

Get the view from 30,000 feet In all the hustle and bustle, and back and forth of business travel, it’s hard to stay focused on the things in life that really matter. Sometimes you need a reminder to stop and check out the view from 30,000 feet. That’s where the Stauer Viator comes in. During his first years as marketing director for a major corporation, my friend commuted to work four days a week--commuted 3,000 miles. His family had settled on the West Coast before the company moved to the East Coast. And instead of uprooting his loved ones, he made the ultimate sacrifice and decided to red-eye it for a few years. As hard as it was, it was the right decision. And so I designed this watch for all those coast-to-coasters out there. The Stauer Viator Watch is sure to get attention from the person in the aisle seat next to you. It’s unique convex crystal accentuates the striking North American map that gives the face so much character. With lines of latitude and longitude, it’s like wearing a globe on your wrist. The hour and minute hands are strikingly geometric and the second hand ticks away in bold red. Set into the map face is a scrolling date window, and the case is constructed of polished stainless steel. And to finish the look, a genuine black leather band with white stitching is attached to the case by a sturdy double hinge. The next time I feel my commute through traffic is too much, I’ll look down at this watch and think of my friend. Sometimes it’s good to see the bigger picture.

The crush that never ended

Get your soaps up

It wasn’t much of a necklace. I bought it for my first crush with every dollar I had. I hoped it was enough. I wished it was more. But I was already dealing with the butterflies in my gut C. and the necklace would just have to do. It was a chain of tiny charms, a bit awkward-looking but sincere. My girl was thrilled, but it seemed that we were thrilled by everything back then. Everything was new. Everything was ahead of us. I’m not sure whatever happened to the girl, but I missed the necklace. So when I found this spectacular update, it was love at first sight all over again. The Stauer Golden Charm Necklace is the perfect combination of simplicity and sophistication. We’ve loaded a distinctive, beaded 18" chain with seven golden roundel beads (two polished plain and five dappled with white, lab-created DiamondAura® rounds). Each glittering lab-created stone has been crafted to outsparkle even the most brilliant natural diamonds. And the flickering light adds a luxurious fire to the rich golden hue of the necklace. The necklace secures with a lobster clasp and an extra 2" extender. We’ve come a long way from our first romance. But while our jewelry choices may have matured, hopefully the old-fashioned sentiment remains the same.

Beautiful things happen when a sculptor becomes a soapmaker. Cleanliness meets godliness. Luxury meets lather. And suddenly your humble little loo looks more like the Louvre. It’s not hard to see why these handmade soaps deserve a place inside a jewelry catalog. Elegant angels are draped in heavenly detail from soft fabric folds to tiny feathers. Inside is just as pure. Unlike commercially-produced soaps, these lushly-scented ovals have no synthetic chemical preservatives. Each is crafted using the finest natural ingredients (including goat’s milk, olive oil, jojoba oil and Vitamin E) that refresh, clean and moisturize. Our exclusive Cherub Cameo Soap set includes soothing blue lavender, sweet orange citrus and refreshing bergamot. Are they too pretty to use? We’ll leave that up to you.

The new look of old-fashioned luxury features genuine blue sapphire and DiamondAura® She stepped out of the limo looking more beautiful than anything I’d ever seen. It was as if time almost stopped. Flash bulbs popped more slowly. Excited screams turned to whispers. And I couldn’t take my eyes off her. The dress. Her hair. Those eyes. And that ring! Or so my grandfather always told it. He saw a Hollywood starlet at a movie premiere once, and it was as though he’d been in the presence of a goddess. That’s how it was back then. They were just classier and more glamorous than the stars of today. And a lot of that had to do with the still-unmatched sense of style that was so prominent. You just can’t go wrong with Art Deco. And so we’ve created The Spire. This is the Chrysler Building of rings. An art deco masterpiece, the smooth lines and geometric angles of this ring glisten and gleam in dazzling .925 sterling silver. This kind of shine would have been right at home on the hand of any of Hollywood’s prettiest in the 1930’s. It shimmers with the white flash of 14 brilliant DiamondAura® rounds that exceed the fire of “D” flawless diamonds, with no inclusions. And its six carefully hand calibrated (an extremely time-intensive art deco technique), channel-set square cut natural sapphires glow like a deep blue sky just after sunset. Intricate silver bead-work and details add that final touch of 30s charm. The Spire is proof that you can teach an old ring new tricks!

‘Lost color’ discovered in Central America I was at the Copan Museum in Honduras, when I came upon their exhibit on Mayan art. Immediately I was drawn to a powerful and vivid E. shade of blue that centuries couldn’t dull. When I asked my tour guide about it, he told me the tale of the long-lost color known as Maya Blue. The secret for mixing this magical hue disappeared along with the ancient civilizations that created it. And for 500 years, artists and scientists have been trying to recreate the formula. Few have been successful...until now. We’ve finally captured the elusive color in our brilliant Maya Blue Turquoise Necklace.

Using a carefully-selected blend of stabilized turquoise, jewelers have crafted an extraordinary celebration of the ancient hue. Once you wear the Maya Blue Turquoise Necklace, I have no doubt you’ll feel the same way I did in the Copan on that fateful day.

The absolute height of luxury

Reversible! Two hearts are better than one!

During the golden age of airships in the 1930s, passengers traveled from Europe to the United States in two days. The journey was savored. Folks dressed for the occassion. They sipped tea and took meals in formal dining rooms. For those who could afford it, cruising silently through the sky was the absolute height of luxury.

The Zeppelin Flatline Watch beautifully captures the understated elegance of crossing the Atlantic in a first-class airship. The ultra-slim, stainless steel body is fused with rose gold and houses a deep, metallic burgundy dial. Beneath a disc of hardened crystal, the distinctive, decoinspired face features stylized white numerals and luminous green hour markers. Seconds are counted by a small complication at the 6 o’clock position and a date window sits at 3 o’clock. The Swiss quartz watch secures with a handmade brown leather strap and is water-resistant to 5 ATM. Driven by the latest Swiss technology and classic design, the Zeppelin Flatline perfectly captures the style and grace of a bygone era. We’ve even priced this European masterpiece like it was 1930! Slip it on and remember a time long ago when speed wasn’t everything and even if you were floating at 3000 feet, you had time to stop and smell the roses. Fits wrists 7" to 8 ½".

Long lost love finally found? A.

She was the former wife of a billionaire oil magnate. He was the famous black pearl that once sat among the Russian Crown jewels. After a famous Fifth Avenue jeweler plucked him from a string of perfect white pearls, he was set at the end of a diamond necklace and sold to the lovely Lady Lydia. They made a glamorous couple, but one night in Paris she lost him. The fabled Azra Pearl took off like a popped button and was never found again. She was heartbroken and so were we. Until now.

Ours is a shimmering sphere of near-perfect roundness that can be yours for much less. Expertly-crafted from the same lustrous nacre used in nature, the 10mm Black Pacific is set in .925 sterling silver and surrounded by a swirl of sparkling, lab-created DiamondAura®.

How to inherit a fortune

A mysterious royal beauty inspires our most spectacular DiamondAura® bracelet EVER.

A D.

lbert said the bracelet once belonged to the Countess Rivieré, a regular in his Paris jewelry shop. “She wore diamonds like no woman I’ve ever seen,” he said. “Every one of these stones sparkles less in her absence.” We never met her, but we still fell in love with her bracelet. And so will you. Once you snap this band of brilliant white fire around your own lady’s wrist, it will look (and feel) like she just F. inherited a fortune. But the only fortunes involved are the one you saved and our good fortune finding a designer talented enough to transform a $49,000 heirloom into the spectacular 20-Carat DiamondAura® Rivieré Bracelet for only $89.

An elegant present with a mysterious past. Of course, Albert didn’t recall what Madame Riviere was the Countess of, or what happened to her after she stopped visiting his tiny shop on the Rue SaintHonoré. But he still misses her terribly. And his story almost compelled me to buy the bracelet. Almost. I say almost because vintage white diamonds don’t come cheap. The Countess’s original was a gorgeous piece with the kind of flash that surely sparked whispers and

stares back in her day. But I knew we could use science to create a bolder, more beautiful version for much less. The new science of romance. Our lush DiamondAura Rivieré Bracelet boasts more than 20 carats of brilliant, lab-created DiamondAura set in .925 sterling silver. Faceted white ovals alternate with sparkling rounds to deliver an unbelievable amount of fire. Even the slightest twist of the wrist triggers a light show like you’ve never seen. While the Countess probably had a dashing Count to thank for her bracelet, you can thank the marriage of art and science for yours. The ingenious DiamondAura process involves the the use of rare minerals heated to incredibly high temperatures of nearly 5000˚F. After cutting and polishing, scientists create a faultless marvel that’s optically brighter and clearer with even more color and fire than a “D” flawless diamond. Our exclusive lab-created DiamondAura jewelry includes all of the classic specifications, including color, clarity, cut and carat weight and is hard enough to cut glass. You get the luxurious look of natural stones, without the outrageous luxury cost. Don’t tell Albert.

Our ‘always in the mood’ ring

Off the cuff

Just when I thought it couldn’t get any hotter in B. the heart of the Mexican jungle, it did. After a half-day of hiking, we found something burning deep in the rainforest. Our guide Carlos said it had been smoldering there since the days of the Mayans, and likely for a hundred centuries before that. The fire glowed orange and radiated an C. almost magical heat. When I asked Carlos if he thought it would burn forever, he just smiled. “Eso depende de la mujer,” he said. That depends on the woman. The fire opal is a rare stone with a celebrated ability to spark passion among those whole fall under its spell. The fiery orange color is on full display in our Mayan Fire Opal Ring. We’ve collected marquise and oval-cuts of the sultry stone and set them in glistening .925 sterling silver. It’s safe to say that with this gemstone’s romantic reputation, our 1½-carat cluster radiates the kind of amorous energy that can keep a couple warm for a lifetime. The Ancient Aztecs and Mayans called the dazzling fire opal the “stone of the birds of paradise” for its resemblance to the brilliant orange bloom of the rainforest. But we say our Mayan Fire Opal Ring rivals any jungle flora. Flowers are fine. But fire is fabulous.

Our designer drew inspiration from some of the district’s one-of-a-kind gold and gemstone cufflinks to craft the ultimate gentleman’s accessory. By taking a luxury accent off the cuff and putting it on your finger, we’ve created the men’s jewelery equivalent of a custom-tailored, three-piece suit. The handsome, flared band of 14K yellow gold showcases a polished, barrel-cut black onyx. And the brushed gold shoulders wink back with a diamond accent on each side, adding just a dash of ostentatious, opulent sparkle. This is definitely a ring that can hold its own among history’s most fashionable finery. Jacket not required.

Tourist “borrows” 40-carat diamond Not long ago, I walked out of a famous German museum with one of Europe’s most precious E. stones in my pocket. Nobody stopped me at the exit. Even if they did, they probably wouldn’t have found the 40-carat Dresden Green Diamond. Because the legendary diamond wasn’t missing. I never touched it. But I did sketch it on the back of my museum program. The original Dresden Green, one of the rarest diamonds in the world, inspired our spectacular Saxony Green Collection. The necklace showcases a pale green, lab-created spinel, created using a complex process that duplicates the conditions in which gemstones form in nature. I even requested a favor from our talented gem cutters, asking them to duplicate the facets of the original. The pendant is a 38-carat, pear-cut lab-created spinel that shimmers with vivid green. The setting features 110 lab-created DiamondAura® rounds (over 1 full carat) hand-set in .925 sterling silver and dangles from an 18" sterling chain. Our Saxony Green Earrings showcase a pair of lab-created spinels. Each 9 ½ -carat pear is topped with a ½ carat, lab-created DiamondAura round and set in fine .925 sterling silver. Plus, we’ll include a $300 BONUS ($25 to use every month for 12 months, with NO MINIMUM PURCHASE REQUIRED...ever). Saxony Green Collection D. #21021 Necklace (39 ctw)—$495.00 $199.00 Save $296!

Our homage to the legendary Dresden Green Diamond

Walking the London street better known as the “golden mile of tailoring,” you see a devotion to luxury detail in every shop window, every stitch, every immaculate seam. Savile Row is the neighborhood of gentleman tailors who cut cloth for royals and rock stars. This is where Winston Churchill and Napoleon III came for suits. This is where our 14K Onyx and Diamond Ring feels right at home.

New Style! Egg debate laid to rest Let’s just leave that whole “chicken or egg” thing to someone else for now. Here at Stauer, a different question has been plaguing us—why do other companies charge so much for pieces inspired by those worldfamous Russian Imperial Eggs? It H. seems that everywhere we look there are enameled eggs being sold for hundreds of dollars. We don’t get it. But it just makes our Empress Royal Egg Necklace seem all the more impressive at only $49! The Czar's jeweler and his assistants created thousands of unique Imperial Eggs for Romanov rulers from the 1880s until 1917. But now, very few of those original eggs remain. They are so rare in fact that even reproductions sell for exorbitant amounts of money. But you can get our version for a fraction of the cost. This decorative, enameled pendant evokes the style of Russia's legendary royal eggs. Round-cut crystals are inset among the elegant, hand-enameled design. Gold-toned details including an ornate heart and scroll-work glitter and gleam among the red enamel that almost seems to glow. And the entire egg hangs comfortably from an impressive golden chain that closes with a lobster clasp.

Praise for the Lincoln watch from R.A. from Milwaukee, WI

New! The GREAT

150-year-old mystery of the Lincoln Watch solved! High drama in Washington D.C. A screwdriver in his careful hands, wearing a pair of jeweler's goggles, master watchmaker George Thomas puts a historical mystery to rest after almost 150 years: Did a watch repairman really engrave a secret message on Abraham Lincoln's watch the day the Civil War began? Lincoln's watch has been rumored to carry a secret message, allegedly written by Jonathan Dillon. On NBC’s Today Show, working with magnifying glasses and precise instruments, George Thomas, finally opened the back to reveal the underside of the watch movement. “The moment of truth has come,” he said. “Is there or is there not an inscription?” George handed the watch to the great-great grandson of Jonathan Dillon to do the honors. The inscription read, "Jonathan Dillon April 13 1861 Fort Sumpter [sic] was attacked by the rebels on the above date J Dillon April 13-1861

Washington thank God we have a government Jonth Dillon." The George Chatterton™ Watch Company today announces the release of the Lincoln Watch to bring history’s mystery to life. They have painstakingly recreated the design of the dial and position of the small second hand and they have even replicated the mysterious engraving on the back of the movement. The design of the hands is especially rare. The movement employs vintage-styled manual winding with 20 jewels and the case is 14k gold plated and matches the color of the original exactly. The original has been in safe custody since 1958, but you can own your own Lincoln’s watch reproduction with the secret inscription from the 19th-century. The George Chatterton Watch Company has set a strict limited edition and Stauer is the only place that you can find this piece of American history.

You’ve earned your wings

The ring that rekindled a 5,000-year-old love affair Trends are hard to follow. They seem to come and go so quickly. One moment something’s “in” and the next moment it’s “out.” But no worries, turquoise jewelry has been around since the first Egyptian Dynasty in about 3,000 B.C., so I don’t think it’s going anywhere. And even when its popularity wanes a bit, it always seems to bounce right back--like it did during the Egyptian Revival after the discovery of King Tutankhamun’s Tomb in 1922. Upon seeing the marvelous pairing of turquoise and gold in the young king’s famous burial mask, jewelers of the 1920s rushed to design pieces that would capitalize on the public’s infatuation with the discovery.

Stauer has decided to once again rekindle everyone’s love for turquoise with the Dynasty Ring. Crafted with an unparalleled attention to detail, the ring is fashioned in only the finest sterling silver, layered with 14K gold vermeil, and includes amazingly intricate beadwork surrounding each of the oval-cut turquoise cabochons. Around the centerpiece of the ring is a halo of glimmering prong-set aquamarine rounds, and between each of the outer turquoise cabochons rests a brilliant single-cut diamond, accenting the ring with a sparkle that would impress even the Pharaohs. The turquoise trend is officially back. And this time it’s here to stay.

At the turn of the 20th century, French jewelers grew tired of designing pieces that were simply settings for mesmerizing stones. Mother Nature became their muse. Daring Art Nouveau designers created ornaments as bold and captivating as the wonders of the natural world. Some critics described their style as “whiplash” because the stunning curves struck like the crack of a whip. One of the designers’ favorite subjects was the lively dragonfly who flits and dips in graceful arcs over sparkling pools in the fading sunlight. Stauer’s Nouveau Dragonfly Brooch perfectly captures the artistic daring of this period. Our 14K gold-clad winged wonder boasts a beautiful 7mm cultured pearl atop its back and piercing green enamelled eyes. The broad golden wings flutter to life thanks to nearly 2 carats of brilliant white, lab-created DiamondAura®. A sturdy hinged pin on the underside ensures that your eye-catching companion never flies away. There’s no doubt this unique brooch would have been the prize of any Parisian lady strolling along the Champs-Elysées. C. #21310 14K Gold-clad Nouveau Dragonfly Brooch (1¾ ctw)—$149.00 $99.00

WWI Ace conquers time travel In World War I, Dieudonne Costes fought head-to-head against lead-spitting enemy planes over the Balkans. In WWI dogfights, victory was decided in a fraction of a second. The first multi-function wristwatches forever changed air combat, allowing pilots to time complicated maneuvers and coordinate attacks. Ten years later, the crack French pilot faced a different kind of challenge: navigating the pitch black skies over the South Atlantic. Behind the stick of his aircraft, he soared across the time zones from Senegal to Brazil, setting the record for the world’s first non-stop flight across the South Atlantic. We studied countless classic aviator timepieces to match the vintage styling and design. Our watchmakers updated the movement for the 21st century, making it even more accurate and reliable than the originals.

Put the metal to the petal B.

Sometimes to see the bigger picture, you have to look closely. Closer than you’ve ever looked before to understand the pieces that make up the whole. Only then can you appreciate what’s in front of you. That was the approach of groundbreaking modernist painter Georgia O’Keeffe. Enlarging flowers and focusing on certain elements of their form until they became beautifully abstract, O’Keeffe created paintings that demanded and focused attention on the majesty of the natural world. It’s that kind of thinking and expression that infused her works with a refreshing originality. And it’s that unique vision that inspired us to bring you the Morning Glory Bracelet.

The Stauer Midnight Flyboy 1916 features a stunning dial, set inside a case fused in warm rose gold. Three tachymeters and a movable bezel measure speed and ascent and the chronograph functions allow you to measure elapsed time. Interior complications mark minutes and hours and include a 24-hour display. The watch is water-resistant to 10 ATM and features a crocodile-embossed, genuine leather band. Every decent Ace should have one up his sleeve.

Stunningly crafted in .925 sterling silver, the Morning Glory is a gorgeous tribute to the flower whose name it shares. We loaded it with 15 carats of lab-created, blue DiamondAura® cabochons that shimmer and shine in gold-clad settings. And four white DiamondAura flowers flash with the fire of 76 brilliant rounds. With a master painter’s eye for perfection, our designers carefully created a bracelet that blossoms with naturally-inspired beauty, vivid color, and striking details. We like to think of it as a museum-worthy masterpiece that she can wear on her wrist. A lovely present inspired by art history. Bracelet measures 7 ½ inches.

I’ll take mine black…no sugar A.

In the early 1930’s, watch manufacturers took a clue from Henry Ford’s favorite quote, “You can have any color as long as it is black.” Black dialed watches particularly became the rage with pilots and race drivers. And since of course the black dial impeccably B. complemented a black tuxedo, the adventurer’s black dial watch easily seguéd from the cockpit to the Cotton Club®. Now Stauer brings back the Noire, a design based on an elegant timepiece built in 1936. Black dialed, complex automatics from the 1930’s have recently hit new highs at auction. One sold in excess of $600,000. We thought that you might like to have a version that would be a lot more accurate and affordable than the original. Not only are the dial, hands and face vintage-inspired but we used a 27-jeweled automatic movement. This is the kind of engineering desired by fine watch collectors worldwide. But since we made this classic movement on state-of-the-art, computer-controlled Swiss-built machines, the accuracy is beyond reproach. Three interior dials display day, month and date and the movement carries an extended two-year warranty. Ssit back in your limousine, sip some coffee and rest assured you have some fabulous time on your hands. Fits wrists 6 ½" to 9".

Save $35,468,920 and turn your living room into the Louvre If you’ve ever stood face to face with a true masterpiece, you know that there’s no substitute for real oil paint on canvas. As an art lover, I would stand in the Musee d’Orsay all day, hypnotized by the tiny brush strokes and sublime swirls of color. And part of me always wanted to bring home a Picasso, Matisse or a Van Gogh. But then there was always that issue of price. I never seemed to have an extra $100 million laying around.

Our first selection of masterpieces comes from two of the most celebrated artists of our time: Claude Monet and Vincent Van Gogh. Officially, I’m not an art historian. But I’ve been to some of the finest museums in the world and have to say that the detail and craftsmanship in these paintings is remarkable. Stauer employees see plenty of beautiful things come through the office, but these paintings, by far, have generated the most buzz.

The Mona Lisa is missing

We can’t paint like Da Vinci. But we have our own techniques for using lapis to create objects of beauty. And with our new Leonardo Lapis Necklace, I’d say we’ve created a masterpiece. It’s like wearing a piece of art. Twenty spectacular polished lapis beads are hand strung along the entire 18" length of the piece, each separated by a glimmering gold-toned spacer. A dazzling lapis drop, stunningly set in gold over sterling silver dangles gracefully and seduces the eye with a deep blue reminiscent of the sky after a storm. Lucky for you, no high-tech equipment is required to see the true blue hues of this lapis beauty. In fact, I’d say a picture wouldn’t do it justice. You’ve got to see it to believe it.

It’s true! If you visit the Louvre to catch a glimpse of the world’s most famous painting, you may be disappointed. It’s gone. Hidden from view. Of course nobody stole or destroyed it. But years of protective varnish have obscured its original hues. Incredibly, researchers used advanced digital photo technology to capture a high-resolution image of the masterpiece. Then they virtually adjusted the picture and returned Da Vinci’s beauty to her original splendor. It was discovered that the crisp blue sky behind Mona was painted with lapis lazuli pigment.

These reproductions are created one brush stroke at a time by classically trained artists. There’s no computer manipulation and no assembly line. In fact, it takes at least 10 days before the paintings are even dry enough to handle. Each masterpiece reproduction is a genuine, hand-painted oil on canvas, set into a sturdy, antique-guilded frame. Each work (including frame) measures 28" x 24".

A real diamond in the buff C.

A 5-carat raw diamond & 14 gold necklace for under $1,300?

Sometimes it’s impossible to improve on perfection. When the world’s most desired stone is pulled from the ground, why not leave it alone? That’s exactly what the 16th century maharajahs of India did. When miners in the fabled city of Golconda collected diamonds for royalty, all they did was wash off the dirt. They believed that altering the stone from its natural state sapped all of its healing and protective power.

14K Gold & Diamond in the Raw

Breathtaking 8-carat green amethyst!

Our Viridia Green Amethyst Ring is designed to make your emeralds jealous. Taking center stage is an absolutely stunning 8 carat oval, concave-cut green amethyst set in 14K yellow gold. The shoulders are divided into five delicate bands of gold with exquisite rope-work embellishments. And you’ll find brilliantcut diamonds on either side for that extra dash of elegance. It’s easy to see why this green is all the rage. Alluring and sophisticated, it’s an understated color that makes a bold statement. The whispers of pale green that flash from this ring are like subtle reminders of the wild world from which this rare gem comes. We’ve captured a glistening drop of rainforest dew, swaddled it in gold, and served it up in a spectacular cocktail ring. Raise a toast to your new favorite green!

Some diamonds were just born to be wild. It wasn’t until the 17th century in Europe that man thought he could improve on the gem that nature spent billions of years creating. We still adore how the light dances through an angular diamond, but there’s something special about the untouched beauty of nature’s creation. Our Caged Raw Diamond Necklace features a five-carat uncut all-natural beauty, rough around the edges and plucked naked from the earth. You won’t find any geometry here. Each precious stone is shaped exactly as nature intended, without interference from man or machine. Similar rough diamonds sell elsewhere for thousands. This deal isn’t going to win us any friends in the Diamond Cartel. But we stopped worrying about them a long time ago. Conventional wisdom says if you walk into a high-end jewelry store with $2,000, it's likely you’ll leave with nothing more than a business card and a pat on the back. You want a diamond? Better bring a microscope. Five carats? Not unless you're planning a heist. The perfect blend of “rough” and “refined.” Each one-of-a-kind raw diamond is fitted by hand into its “cage,” a criss-cross embrace of 14K gold, bead-set with 18 round, single cut diamonds each hand set. The triangular bail is 14K gold with 8 round, single cut diamonds, hand set. The caged raw diamond hangs brilliantly from an 18" 14K gold rope chain with spring ring clasp. Keep in mind that each raw diamond is different. The shape and shine will vary. But your Caged Raw Diamond Necklace will forever remain a reminder of the unspoiled, organic beauty of nature.

Once upon a time, our gem trips to Brazil were strictly about emeralds. But lately there's a new shade grabbing the spotlight—the crisp icy color of green amethyst. Apparently this unassuming translucent stone has been taking the international jewelry world by storm and nobody saw it coming. Nobody but us. Not to brag, but we've been singing the praises of green amethyst for 3 years. You just can’t help but be mesmerized by its shimmering brilliance, especially when it’s paired with the beautiful glimmer of gold and the fiery white of diamonds just as it is here.

For centuries, rough diamonds were treasured as they were, without a hint of facet or polish. Personally, we believe they were on to something. And we’re not alone. Industry experts and fashionistas across the globe have commented that rough diamonds will soon “be everywhere” and our long love affair with flawless cut white gemstones may be coming to an end.

More bad news for the filthy rich We’ve lowered the gold standard. It’s true, while the price of gold has blown through the roof, Stauer is the only company bold enough to cut the price. But that’s not all. The Duchess of Windsor once famousE. ly opined that a woman could never be too rich or too thin. And might we add that the 14K gold necklace she wears can never be too rich or too divinely, delightfully weightless! Intricately interwoven Byzantine links lend our braided necklace its mesmerizing texture, but it’s the ethereal weight of its gold that makes it different from all the others in your jewelry box. Not only does that notable enhancement make it incredibly comfortable to wear, it also affords each and every link a litheness and suppleness seldom seen in heavier gold chains. The bracelet measures 7 ½" and the necklace measures 20". Each is available separately, but when you keep this gorgeous couple together, you instantly save $295! Wearing genuine 14K gold and keeping change in your pocket? That’s the true definition of luxury.

Away in a manger 17 piece handmade set A.

Ever since the first live nativity staged by Saint Francis of Assissi in 1223, the recreation of the birth of Jesus has been a labor of love for countless artists. Between 1600 and the late 18th century, some of Italy’s most talented sculptors crafted magnificent nativity crechés (French for “crib”) of unmatched detail and expression. Today, those early religious treasures can be only be found in museums and private collections. But during our last trip to Europe we met a dedicated group of artisans who have kept the faith—and the handcrafted tradition—alive. The Birth of Jesus Nativity Collection is based on an original from the Italian Renaissance. Take a closer look and you can see that the modern-day artisans have a deep respect for Old World technique. Each cold-cast resin figurine is garbed in hand-dyed and shaped fabric, based on authentic Palestinian costumes of the period. Incredibly life-like recreations of Mary and Joseph, the Magi and shepherds are painted by hand. Luxurious accents are added in lustrous gold leaf. And details like the simple wooden manger bring this Christmas miracle to life. Individually, the sculpted figures are hand-made miniature works of art. Together, they make a holiday masterpiece that is bound to become a treasured family tradition.

A simple twist of faith Most kids aren’t keen on sitting still in church. Every Sunday was a challenge for my parents as they tried to keep everyone wellbehaved. But Palm Sunday was never a problem. We were all given palm fronds that kept our fidgety hands occcupied. By the end of the service, each of us had our own cross that we’d made using the palm leaves. Mine was always a little crooked, but no ornate cross could ever compare to the beauty of those simple woven palm leaves. Our DiamondAura® Endless Faith Necklace recalls those precious creations and will serve as a reminder that symbols of faith can be found in the simplest things. The slight, graceful curves of the crosses flow like woven green leaves but stand firm in precious sterling silver. Rows of white, lab-created DiamondAura are precisely microset to give the pendant an ethereal shine that dazzles with even more fire than natural diamonds. The pendant dangles from a 16" sterling chain (with 2" extender and a lobster clasp). Add this remarkable necklace to your Sunday best. DiamondAura®

A windfall of “Prussian Gold”

Our search for the finest amber took us deep into Northern Europe, along the jagged coast that borders the Baltic Sea. Millions of years ago the same region was overrun by prehistoric forests and crowded with glaciers, resulting in some of the richest amber deposits in the world. We traced the footsteps of the great amber merchants of Königsberg, who searched for “Prussian Gold” along the ancient sea floor. Remarkably, we discovered an impressive cache of high-quality material for our Amber D. Artisan Necklace. Threaded along the 28" strand are exquisitely-shaped dark beads and almonds, interspersed with highly-prized transparent gold amber used to form faceted beads and meticulously-cut, tiny spacers. The necklace comes to a beautiful point with a dangling pear drop of smooth, dark amber. Hidden within a pair of amber beads, you’ll find a threaded, screw clasp.

The new gold standard Pure Gold. 24 Karat .999 pure gold. Just the promise of it has altered the path of history. What was Columbus really looking for in 1492? Gold. In the last few years there is a new gold rush under way. The precious metal has seen prices soar to over $1,500 an ounce. Many Stauer clients are collecting historical gold coins but we thought that you could admire that special gleaming metal everyday just by checking the time on your wrist. Unencumbered by markings, numerals, or engravings, we have created the spectacular 24 karat gold faced timepiece from Stauer—The Oro. Using a technique that dates to the ancient Egyptians in the 14 century BC, a hammered layer of 24 karat gold-leaf is meticulously placed onto the face of this rare and stunning timepiece with a vintage case and an amazingly accurate Swiss made movement. Fits wrists 6 ¾ to 8 ¾. Even most gold jewelry and gold coins are only gold alloy with a mixture of up to 40% base metal. But The Oro has a face that is covered in .999 pure gold. Even $20,000 luxury watches are made of only 75% gold. But Stauer loves real gold. The deep shimmering color is mesmerizing. We understand why every major civilization since the beginning of recorded history has valued this rare metal. We finish off this special design with a crocodile embossed deep brown leather band. And at Stauer we know all that glitters is not gold…but the spectacular face of The Oro is. E. #19906 Stauer 24K Gold-leaf Dial Watch—$395.00 $149.00 Save $246

“Way to go guys. This won’t be my last Stauer watch!”

Be a genius and buy these rings

That’s the theory according to Ovid. Who’s Ovid? Only Ancient Rome’s most celebrated romantic poet. He’s the man who penned The Art of Love, way back when counting the years only took two digits. His words are funny, frank and wise beyond his years. The classic poems are full of sage advice that hasn’t aged a day. He wrote, “Bring her courtesies, and flattering words, and endearments.” And he authored two of my favorite lines...

- Stauer Client, Colorado Springs, CO C.

“Here is something for you!” “A man who can say that has genius.” It’s hard to believe that more than 2000 years ago, Ovid proved my theory that truly gifted men make the best gift-givers. Anyone can pick out a ring at random. But I’m convinced that it takes talent and intelligence to find a piece of jewelry that really means something. Today I’m making it easy for you. These rings were made for each other. At the center of the ring you’ll find a stunning 3-carat, lab-created DiamondAura® marquise set in the finest .925 sterling silver. The sleek cut dazzles with even more fire than a mined diamond and is buffeted by over a full carat of lab-created DiamondAura baguettes and brilliant-cut rounds. The thinner, anniversary band is crafted of sterling silver and blazes with 11 prong-set DiamondAura. The band is ingeniously-shaped to fit comfortably atop the ring. A spectacular gift designed to remind her that she has you wrapped around her finger!

The Stauer Meisterzeit recreates an automatic watch legend for under $100

ighty-eight years ago, a watchmaker in Europe famous for building clocks at Versailles created a legendary watch movement. He invented the first watch with an automatic mechanical drive. These innovative movements required no batteries and never needed to be manually wound. Only seven of these ultra-rare watches were ever made and we’ve only actually seen one surviving masterpiece in a watch history museum. Inspired by history, our Stauer Meisterzeit has been painstakingly handcrafted to meet the demanding standards of vintage watch collectors. We engineered this classic with millions worth of precise, Swiss built machinery. Every interior dial has been carefully engineered to replicate the “complications” of the

earliest multifunction watches. Two interior dials display day and month and a date window sits at the 6 o’clock position. The 27-rubyjewel movement utilizes an automatic self-winding mechanism inspired by a patent from 1923. With an exhibition back, you can see into the heart of the engineering and watch the rotor spin to keep it wound—it’s powered by the movement of your body. The watch secures with a genuine leather strap and is water-resistant to 3 ATMs. C. #20319 Stauer Meisterzeit Timepiece—$395.00 $99.0075%!
