New! A star is reborn A.
This ring is my North Star. I use it to navigate crowded parties when I lose my wife. If either of us gets carried away in a conversation, this ring acts as a beacon to keep us from drifting too far apart. I can see it from across the room and it sparkles like the same bright star that led ancient sailors across the midnight seas. As long as I follow its light, I’ll always find my way home. Though our North Star Scienza™ Lab-created Sapphire Ring looks plucked from the heavens, its beauty was actually forged in a laboratory. Advanced science created the stunning centerpiece as well as each of the glittering white cuts that frame it. The star of our “Star” is a marquise-cut, Scienza lab-created sapphire that blazes with the same hue once found only in the rarest Kashmir gemstones. Scientists captured that precious color by combining the exact same chemical ingredients as natural sapphire and replicating the extreme temperatures and pressures that form gems deep below the Earth’s surface. The result is a spectacular, virtually flawless creation that rivals the most celebrated blue jewels in history.
The flawless beauty of lab-created sapphire
The North Star’s “big blue” is surrounded by lab-created DiamondAura® baguettes and rounds that shine with even more fire than natural white diamonds. Each cut is set in a regal setting of .925 sterling silver, generously layered in 14K yellow gold. Once she wears it, she’ll never be lost again.

New! Some like it knot At first glance, “The Ashley Book of Knots,” doesn’t read like a romance. The 1944 volume is an illustrated reference manual feaC. turing 2,000 unique knots, their usage and histories. It’s a labor of love, maybe, but not your typical love story. Unless you consider what a knot really is: an organized tangle of ropes, separate, yet nevertheless inseparable, and in the end, stronger for it. Think about it that way and suddenly it sounds much more romantic. You won’t find our Etorno Earrings anywhere in the book (we checked). But that’s because they weren’t designed to lasso a mustang, secure a mizzen, or tie down a mainsail. They were designed for a higher purpose: to bind two hearts together as one. These are the kind of knots that never come undone. These Etorno Earrings are not textbook “lover’s knots” in their execution—but they share the spirit. Each strand of the knot is flexible enough to be intertwined alongside the other and seems to go on for an eternity. Crafted in Italy of fine .925 sterling silver layered with 18K gold, each of the Etorno Earrings secures with a post back. What better way to represent the strength, flexibility and endurance of your own true love? 18K Gold-layered Etorno Collection B. #23128 Earrings $79 C. #23272 18" Necklace $99 #23273 Earrings & Necklace Set $178 $159 6

I
take superstition seriously. There are certain numbers I avoid and hotel rooms I will not sleep in. I know I’m in for a bad day when someone steals my lucky parking space. And I never step onto a boat without my aquamarine. Ever since ancient times, sailors have sworn by this beautiful blue gem as a talisman and protector for anyone traveling on the open water. Seafarers considered it a stone of courage and a sacred gem directly connected to Neptune. No matter what secret treasure was stowed away in the F. hold, there was no more precious cargo than aquamarine. That’s why I never leave shore without it. Does it work? I haven’t been shipwrecked yet. We’re not allowed to call this necklace a “personal flotation device.” But once you indulge in the luxury of this much aquamarine, your feet may feel like they’ve left the floor. The Maré Aquamarine Necklace is elegant and effortless at the same time. Wearing 300 carats definitely feels like a fashion statement. But the cool touch of smooth beads on bare skin echoes with a whisper. And a closer look reveals why the color is so captivating. You might be able to hear the ocean inside the whooshing cave of a conch shell, but you can only see the seas swirling inside a bead of aquamarine. Derived from the Latin words for “water of the sea,” the refreshing blue gemstones deliver all the shades of the world’s oceans in one place. Each of the beads in this necklace is like a droplet of the sea frozen in space and time. Churning blue-green seawater and white frothy foam captured for an eternity. The Maré Aquamarine Necklace features two strands of graduated aquamarine beads, separated with 14K gold-layered spacers. Your 20" necklace secures with a 14K gold-layered lobster clasp. No matter what your destination or how you plan to get there, this is the perfect necklace for turning rough seas into smooth sailing
