AUDEMARS PIGUET

EXQUISITE DESIRES Eclectic in color, savoir-faire, materials and style, the latest Audemars Piguet collections for her offer a kaleidoscopic view of the contemporary woman. Blending tradition with the avant-garde, these multi-faceted timepieces are both extraordinary watches and true fashion statements.

Highlights include the new Royal Oak Selfwinding in black ceramic enhanced with pink gold accents for a refined two-tone contrast; a 34mm Royal Oak Selfwinding in 18K white gold with a Tapisserie dial in new shades of blue; a Royal Oak Selfwinding 38mm chronograph in solid 18K pink gold with a bezel that has been set with an array of baguette-cut amethysts; and the Royal Oak Frosted Gold Double Balance Wheel Openworked series, with three new references in 41mm and two in 37mm, all displaying rainbow bezels composed of multicolored gemstones.

As gorgeous as these watches are in person, they are equally stunning as photographed by Harley Weir for the company’s current advertising campaign. Says Weir: “I love this idea that people wear part of themselves visually, so the people can show on their bodies what they desire inside.”

BVLGARI

ALL THAT SLITHERS The muse of luxury jeweler Bvlgari has always been Italian femininity: sophisticated and refined, bold and colorful, voluptuous and seductive. With a daring attitude to reach for the forbidden, the maison gravitated toward the dangerous serpent, launching its snake-inspired Serpenti line in the mid-20th century.

Now, the iconic creations are among the most coveted by jewelry aficionados worldwide.

From the colorful enameled necklaces and watches of the 1960s to today’s luxurious “scales” of shimmering gold and pavé diamonds, the collection continues to shed its skin and be reborn in artistic new iterations year after year.

Serpenti jewelry, timepieces and accessories are designed to be layered and collected, captivating the eye and intensifying the allure of their owner. An animal that is powerful, mysterious and unexpected, the snake naturally became the spirit animal for Bvlgari — and the seductive women who wear it.

CHANEL

INNER BEAUTY

Just as time moves forward, so do the gorgeous timepieces created by the House of Chanel. Two years after launching the J12 Caliber 12.1, which was developed exclusively for the maison by the Swiss manufacturer Kenissi, Chanel now presents the J12 Caliber 12.2 Edition 1 in an exclusive 33mm model.

This exquisite limited-edition watch (consisting of only 555 pieces) offers a new automatic movement, the Caliber 12.2, which is a technical tour de force and dazzling feat of miniaturization. As stunning as the watch is on the inside, it is even more beautiful on the outside with its unusual tone-ontone design highlighted by the bezel with a baguette motif and a crown set with a diamond. In every sense of the word, this new timepiece is a shining achievement.

VISIT LONDON JEWELERS AMERICANA MANHASSET TO EXPERIENCE THE WORLD OF CHANEL.

CHOPARD

JULIA’S JOIE DE VIVRE Who can still turn the world on with her smile? In two words: Julia Roberts. So, it’s no surprise that Chopard designer (and film-lover) Caroline Scheufele asked the Oscar-winning actress to be the face of the company’s famed Happy Sport line when they launched a new 33mm version of this iconic watch, now available in ethical rose gold or steel and adorned with a multitude of diamonds.

Roberts’ trademark joie de vivre lights up a new campaign for Happy Sport by film director Xavier Dolan and photographer Shayne Laverdière. In the short film, Dolan shows Roberts encountering a jubilant free-spinning path of diamonds — a volcanic merging of joyfulness and cleverness — that reminds every individual of her own power to reinvent herself and to forge her own legend with a blend of courage and panache. Once more, the stars have aligned brilliantly.

ROLEX

FUTURE VISION

At Rolex, the term “Perpetual” is more than just a word on a dial. It encompasses the vision of founder Hans Wilsdorf, who always sought to achieve excellence, break boundaries and partner with those whose actions are a source of inspiration.

Therefore, it’s only natural that Rolex founded its Perpetual Planet initiative by joining forces with key individuals and organizations working in conservation, including The National Geographic Society and famed oceanographer Sylvia Earle’s Mission Blue.

Among the initative’s accomplishments, Rolex has supported National Geographic to help install an enormous weather station just below the summit of Chile’s Tupungato Volcano, near the capital city of Santiago, which will collect data for both important weather modelling and water-resource management for the area.

Meanwhile, Mission Blue, founded by leading oceanographer and Rolex Testimonee Syliva Earle (pictured at left), has created a global network of over 100 Marine Protected Areas called Hope Spots, which are vital to the preservation of species or places where communities rely on a healthy marine environment to survive. With Rolex, creating hope for a better world is more than a dream — it’s a reality!

WE ARE PROUD TO BE AN OFFICIAL ROLEX JEWELER. YOU CAN FIND THESE EXTRAORDINARY TIMEPIECES AT OUR AMERICANA MANHASSET, EAST HAMPTON, SOUTHAMPTON, SHORT HILLS AND WESTFIELD WORLD TRADE CENTER LOCATIONS.

TUDOR

BEST OF THE BEST

Since its founding by Hans Wildorf in 1926, Tudor has boldly endeavored to produce the best possible watches at the best possible price. This mission continues with the two latest additions to the company’s already extraordinary collection.

The Black Bay Ceramic model, the ultimate symbol of the brand’s technical expertise and styling genius, offers a 41mm case in matte black ceramic, a domed dial with applied hour markers and the famed “snowflake” hands, a Manufacture Calibre MT5602-1U with a silicon hairspring and a 70-hour power reserve, and a Master Chronometer certification from METAS. The 1926 line, available for men and women, is made from a block of one of the most robust stainless steels in existence, 316L steel, and highlighted with touches of satin-brushed rose gold. The case on these models is waterproof to 330 feet thanks to its screw-down crown and case-back. The self-winding movement is finely decorated (despite not being visible) and is adjusted to the highest chronometry standards. The hands and embossed dials are crafted by the most meticulous professionals in the field, as is the flexible metal bracelet, which — like all of Tudor’s timepieces — has been designed with comfort, refinement and quality in mind.

PATEK PHILIPPE

DIAL IT UP Since the 1930s, Patek Philippe has taken extraordinary measures to make their dials special; they realize that the dial is not only the actual face of a watch, but it also allows the hundreds of components inside — from its wheels and levers to its pinions — to deliver information to the wearer. At Patek Philippe, dial-making is a true craft that can take up to six months of production process work, requires up to 200 separate operations to complete and relies on the talent of skilled artisans dedicated to using proven, age-old techniques.

These include guilloche in which one engraves straight or circular grooves, some only a few tenths of a millimeter thick, that form a patina of endlessly varied motifs to catch and reflect the light.

One can see the exquisite result of their work in two examples from the company’s current collection: the Patek Philippe Ref. 5230G World Time in white gold with charcoal gray lacquered, hand-guilloched dial and gold applied hour markers, and the Ref. 4997/200G Ladies’ Calatrava in white gold with guilloched and lacquered midnight blue sunburst dial and powdered gold hour markers. These glorious timepieces, especially their dials, provide a burst of brilliance.

LEICA

ALWAYS ADVANCING Leica has been at the forefront of the world’s best cameras and lenses, having captured tens of thousands of images in its 100-plus year history. In 2019, they launched the successor to their full-frame, interchangeable lens Leica SL (which debuted in 2015), aptly named the SL2.

Leica brings advanced technology, cutting-edge features and enhanced ergonomics to the SL2, and it is the only mirrorless camera designed and crafted in Germany. The SL2 boasts a 47 megapixel full-frame sensor, a higher-resolution viewfinder and a new high-performance object detection autofocus and sensor-shift technology for optical image stabilization, making the camera an ideal choice for both still and video imagery.

With brand new features like 4K on full frame and up to 60fps, the SL2 meets the most demanding video production tasks. An exceptional choice for video and still imagery, the Leica SL2’s Cine Mode ensures the camera is ready to record at all times.

Overall, the SL2 has numerous improvements as a result of feedback from photographers and SL owners, making it a formidable choice for photographers of all skill levels and genres.

With the SL2, Leica took innovation to the next level while upholding its legendary tradition for excellence.

LO N D O N J EWE L E R S I S H O N O R E D TO PR E S E N T ONE OF THE MOST EXCITING GEM DISCOVERIES IN RECENT TIMES. THIS 18.01-CARAT PIGEON’S BLOOD RUBY IS EXCEPTIONALLY UNIQUE DUE TO ITS SIZE, COLOR SATURATION AND LACK OF VISIBLE INCLUSIONS.

While Burma is the traditional source for rubies, this stone hails from a relatively new mine in Mozambique that has only been discovered within the last 20 years.

Clear, vibrant rubies from this particular source are striking enough to rival those found anywhere else on Earth.

The entrance of the metal chromium into the crystal is what turns rubies red, but it’s also what typically imparts a stone with inclusions. The larger and more saturated in color a ruby grows, the muddier and more imperfect it usually becomes. But this stone is one of the largest and most vibrant our GIA-certified gemologists have ever seen. In fact, the term “Pigeon’s Blood” designates the highest level of rarity and color quality that a ruby can attain.

The stone has been cut into a cushion shape and placed in a classic and timeless setting, flanked by two Cadillac-cut diamonds that mirror the rarity of the ring’s center. The rose gold scrolled accents and pink diamonds on the ring’s mounting add a special flair especially for the future wearer to enjoy.

London Jewelers is proud to offer our clients the rare opportunity to invest in a legend-in-the-making. Like the Hope, Dresden and Cullinan diamonds before it, this one-of-a-kind ruby will become a part of gemstone history. The owner will be bestowed with naming rights, certified by GemResearch Swisslab and accompanied by a published booklet. Contact us today to arrange your private viewing appointment.

SHIMMERING SPIRIT

CARTIER

The maison is renewing their beloved Perlée aesthetic in six radiant and refined creations, all in honor of the collector’s sparkling spirit. Three Perlée sweet clover bracelets and three rings, all of which are available in white, yellow or rose gold, feature scintillating motifs that embody the iconic Van Cleef & Arpels style.

Indeed, for the first time, these pieces’ legendary shimmering ribbon is enhanced with 10 clover motifs on the bracelet and five on the ring, along with a central golden bead — exquisitely crafted and hand-polished — that is surrounded by four round and carefully selected diamonds. The result is a subtle interplay of light and volume that is just one of the hallmarks of this shimmering collection.

INDUSTRIAL CHIC Simple yet thoroughly beautiful, the Écrou de Cartier collection challenges the status quo of design through its unique play on the industrial. Here, movable bolts are perched on a circular ridged band in order to create unique pieces that defy convention and elevate the ordinary to the extraordinary.

Fans of this elegant and inventive line now have a selection of stunning new pieces to choose from: an 18K yellow gold ring; an 18k rose gold ring with diamonds; an 18k rose gold double-finger ring; 18k yellow gold earrings; 18k rose gold earrings with diamonds; an 18k yellow gold bracelet; and 18k rose gold single earring/brooch with diamonds; and an 18k rose gold necklace. Each one will be cause for both conversation and celebration!

PINK Pink sapphires are composed of aluminum oxide with traces of the element chromium seeping in during crystal formation to give them their hue.

Pink is an elusive color in the world of sapphires, and stones of the intensity and saturation shown here are even rarer. What’s more, at this large size, many more inclusions would typically be visible to the naked eye. Our team of GIA-certified gemologists marveled at the crispness of the sapphire crystals and the perfect color match of each stone in this suite.

Opals are the most mysterious of gemstones, each one revealing itself in a new way with the gentlest turn of hand. Over a period of five to six million years, they are formed through the stacking of sedimentary sphere deposits that diffuse light differently based on their size. The majority are white to yellow in body color, from transparent to opaque. The rarest are black with an intense play of color.

Each opal ring in the London Collection is truly a one-of-a-kind showpiece. And because the earth is a limited resource and mines are producing less as time goes on, opals are constantly increasing in value.

VINTAGE VIBES

EVERYTHING OLD IS NEW AGAIN. When jewelry fans discuss the high-wattage designs of the Roaring Twenties, they could just as easily be talking about the Art Deco influences of 100 years ago as referring to pieces crafted in an atelier this season. Whether they hail from the 1920s or the 2020s, vintage elements in jewels are enjoying quite the renaissance. From rose-cut diamonds and handapplied enamelwork to geometric motifs and intricate filigree in platinum, the romance and tradition of these signatures are playing a major role in modernday designs.

How to decide between contemporary vintage styling and a genuine estate piece? As with any jewelry purchase, buy what you absolutely love to ensure you’ll wear it. And don’t hesitate to ask questions; vintage jewels are typically accompanied by terrific details about their craft and provenance, whereas vintage-inspired designs often have interesting backstories about how the designer was influenced by the beauty of an antique cushion-cut diamond or an iconic architectural element to create a chic, current conversation piece.

Another important detail helping push the trend toward vintage jewels: They hold their value exceptionally well. As savvy buyers know, recent auctions in New York and London have reported record prices for estate designs. Whether you choose to sell or wear the vintage jewelry you invest in, you’ll be sitting pretty for years to come.

LIFE IS SWEET

NO MATTER OUR DIFFERENCES, ONE THING WE CAN ALL AGREE ON IS THAT THERE’S NOTHING BETTER THAN A SCOOP (OR TWO, OR THREE) OF ICE CREAM. THESE ARE SOME OF OUR FAVORITE PLACES TO ENJOY A SWEET TREAT.

Eddie’s Sweet Shop, located in the Forest Hills section of Queens, opened in 1925 and has bragging rights as one of the oldest ice-cream parlors in New York City. The Citrano family bought it in 1968, and not much has changed since then. While we all scream for ice cream, Eddie’s screams of nostalgia. They serve traditional flavors and are known for their legendary ice cream sundaes. Here, you won’t find any trendy flavors or concoctions; they keep it simple. And though ice cream is enough to keep their customers happy, they also have an old-fashioned candy counter. Eddie’s is one of those rare neighborhood gems (and a longtime favorite of the London Jewelers family) that takes you back in time.

On your way to or from the Hamptons, be sure to stop at Snowflake Ice Cream Shoppe in Riverhead. Founded by Herb and Joan Kunitz in 1953, it changed hands when it was sold to Stuart and Carolyn Feldschuh in 1988.

Everything here conveys fun, from the colorful and whimsical exterior to silly-named flavors including “Peconic Swamp Thing” and “Black Magic Woman.” Flavors of the week often coincide with notable events: When it was time to go back to school they offered “School Lunch,” and during the Polish Fair, “JEZYNOWKA Polish Blackberry Brandy” was on the menu.

Many times, flavors of the week are suggested by customers. It’s no wonder Snowflake Ice Cream Shoppe has been voted Long Island’s best!

Hildebrandt’s Restaurant in Williston Park has been a celebrated eatery and soda shop since Henry Hildebrandt established it in the late 1920s. A few other families have owned Hildebrandt’s over its 90-plus year history, but since Alfred and Joanne Strano purchased the landmark in 1975, three subsequent generations have kept it going. Here, you come for a great meal and finish with an iconic dessert: their beloved, homemade ice cream.

Locals also rave about their homemade whipped cream and hot fudge.

Hildebrandt’s is a Long Island institution where its loyal customers, retro atmosphere and classic menu make it a place worthy of any bucket list.

If you’re lucky enough to be in Capri, Italy, you must try the world’s best gelato at Gelateria Buonocore. They make their own cones, which are served warm — the aroma will draw you in from a distance — and have a full menu that includes other tempting desserts. The Buonocore family has owned and operated this Capri treasure since 1950, moving the location in 1973 to where it is today. There are many reasons to visit Capri, and Gelateria Buonocore is just one. You won’t regret waiting in line for this amazing indulgence!

SERVING UP CLASSICS WITH A TWIST

Isn’t it nice when something is eternally elegant but still happens to be right on trend? Though they’re extra hot right now, tennis bracelets have always been the original wrist stack staple, instantly adding glam to any outfit.

Choose a timeless three-prong setting to minimize the metal and let your stones shine, or up the bold of your gold with a yellow bezel setting. Go for classic round cuts, or show your personality with hearts, pears or another unexpected shape. Opt for traditional white diamonds, or set a playful tone with rainbow mixed sapphires.

Is pavé diamond bling more your thing? No matter if your go-to jewelry look is demure or on the more dramatic side, London Jewelers has a diamond bracelet (or two, or three) for you.

WHAT IS AN EAST-WEST SETTING? This unique trend turns tradition on its side by placing diamonds and gemstones 180-degrees from their usual orientation. When set horizontally instead of vertically, our eye is drawn to shapes like pears, rectangles, ovals and more in a whole new way!

SINGLED OUT Whether single or attached, the days of waiting for someone else to buy you jewelry are a thing of the past! And what better way to treat yourself than with a casual solitaire diamond bangle, pendant, earrings or ring? We love the way a sparkling diamond, each one rare and unique, draws your eye and contrasts beautifully against its glittering gold setting.

Confidently define your own style and invest in something that will seamlessly layer with all the other pieces in your jewelry collection — past, present and future.

STAY HOME, GET FIT! THE MIRROR HOW IT WORKS: The Mirror is an interactive home fitness device that looks like a full-length mirror when turned off, but when in use the LCD screen streams thousands of live and on-demand fitness classes that range anywhere from 5 to 60 minutes. Choose from a large library, or select personal training for an additional fee (a two-way camera is activated for personal training sessions). Your reflection is displayed while you work out so you can monitor yourself.

WHO IT’S FOR: Fitness buffs who like variety and don’t want (or have room for) equipment cluttering their space. It’s also great for the indecisive: Every week you’ll receive a suggested set of workouts chosen for you based on your profile.

COST: Equipment prices start at $1,495.

Delivery and installation fee is $250.

Membership is $39 per month. Personal training sessions start at $40.

Since we first started making an effort to avoid crowded places, many have invested in at-home fitness gear. Though gyms in our area are now welcoming members back, it looks like the at-home workout trend is here to stay. Here’s a look at some of the most popular services making it easier than ever to get in shape without leaving your house.

PELOTON BIKE+ HOW IT WORKS: Peloton’s Bike+ model is an upgrade from the original, offering both cardio and strength training. A large rotating HD touchscreen enables you to follow both live and on-demand classes. One-tap Apple Watch syncing makes it quicker and easier to get moving.

WHO IT’S FOR: Spin class and bike enthusiasts who want the cardio plus strength experience. Built and tested for users 4’11” to 6’4” and under 297 pounds, Peloton recommends 14 as the minimum age.

COST: Equipment prices start at $2,495 (includes delivery and assembly). Membership is $39 per month.

TONAL HOW IT WORKS: Tonal is a wall-mounted strengthtraining machine that uses electromagnetic “arms” to create resistance. You access on-demand classes from a large and diverse library (no live classes) or from a movement library. You can work out alone, or with friends and family in other locations. You can also create a custom workout from the app.

WHO IT’S FOR: Anyone who wants to get fit. Tonal recommends ages 18 and above, but ages 15 to 17 may use Tonal under direct adult supervision and with approval from a physician.

COST: Equipment prices start at $2,995. Delivery and installation are separate (price varies depending on location). Membership is $49 per month.

FIGHTCAMP HOW IT WORKS: FightCamp brings the boxing studio to you. Included are a freestanding punching bag, boxing gloves, workout mat, hand wraps and punch trackers that fit into the hand wraps to measure punch count and speed. On-demand workouts are accessible via the app (currently only available on iOS devices). The bag is available in two sizes: small (12 oz.) and large (16 oz.).

WHO IT’S FOR: Anyone looking to change up their cardio routine or those who want a boxing or kickboxing workout without leaving the house. You don’t have to be a boxing pro; it caters to all levels from beginner to expert. If you’ve ever been too intimidated to enter a boxing ring, now’s your chance to box from the privacy and comfort of home.

COST: Equipment prices start at $1,219 (includes shipping). Membership is $39 per month.

WATCH REPORT One question is always top of mind for watch fans: Which timepiece should be the next to join your collection? When one cherished watch becomes three and then grows to seven or eight different styles, determining which piece should be added to what is now a bona fide “watch wardrobe” becomes a multi-layered decision, based on aesthetics, function and personal style. With that in mind, we’re spotlighting three new pieces, each varied in its look and feel, from ultra-sporty to elegant and classic, but with a twist. Which will vault to the top of your wish list?

Breitling Super Chronomat 44 Four-Year Calendar, $17,250

A B R E I T L I N G watch is rarely understated, and that’s precisely one of the aspects fans love about this iconic brand known for its military and aviator influences. The Chronomat name was introduced by Breitling in the 1940s, and the Super Chronomat followed in the 1980s, quickly becoming a must-have watch among squadron pilots. The just-launched Super Chronomat 44 is the latest to showcase the brand’s love of bold styling, seen in a collection that offers a variety of dial treatments and functions.

Housed in a 44mm case and matching bracelet of stainless steel and 18k red gold, the Super Chronomat 44 Four-Year Calendar features a blue dial that’s offset by red-gold hands and detailing on the subdials, which include a moon-phase indicator and calendar functions that only require adjustment during leap years (hence the “Four-Year” designation).

If you’re seeking an all-purpose sport watch that offers singular styling in a substantial case size, this “supercharged” Chronomat should rank high on your list.

Grand Seiko Heritage Collection “White Birch,” $9,100

Few watch brands are hotter than G R A N D S E I K O at the moment, largely due to styles that blend forward-thinking technology with supremely elegant aesthetics.

Among the newest to highlight this duality is the Series 9 SLGH005, also dubbed the “White Birch” for both its look and inspiration. This icy, textural piece takes its cue from the forests of white birch trees surrounding Grand Seiko’s studio in Shizukuishi, Japan; the watchmaker opened the space in July 2020 specifically to craft its mechanical and high-end timepieces.

The beautiful SLGH005 was among the first pieces to emerge, featuring a silver dial in a carved birch bark pattern that is nicely offset by its graphic indexes. But what’s inside the 40mm case is just as exciting: Grand Seiko’s buzzy “Hi-Beat” movement that boasts 36,000 vibrations per hour or 10 beats per second, resulting in terrific precision, a wonderfully fluid second hand, and an 80-hour power reserve. Inside and out, Grand Seiko’s White Birch is a thrilling design for a watch equally suited to everyday wear and special occasions.

Omega Seamaster 300 Co-Axial Master Chronometer Bronze Gold, $11,600

Bronze cases have been trending in status watches for a couple of years, but the latest from O M E G A ’s iconic Seamaster Collection is without question a handsome new entry. Perhaps that’s because Omega has crafted the 41mm case and buckle using an exclusive alloy the brand has indeed dubbed “Bronze Gold” for its inclusion of both metals (as well as some palladium and silver) to achieve its unique pink hue. Another benefit of this blend: It can be worn easily against the skin and over time will attain a natural patina without any oxidation.

A chocolate brown dial, matching unidirectional rotating bezel and chocolate leather strap create an attractive pairing with the bronze hands and recessed hour markers treated with SuperLuminova. True to the Seamaster name, this is still a diver’s watch, after all, though you can envision it just as easily with a white shirt and pair of jeans.

Tucked in the craggy rocks of Utah’s Wasatch Range, just minutes from Park City, this 3,500-acre private ranch resort invites guests to live “luxury with wild abandon.” Rooted in an appreciation for Mother Nature, “The Lodge” invites you to slow down, disconnect from life’s busyness and reconnect with your adventurous spirit.

Indulge in activities like heli-skiing, horseback riding or fly fishing, then come back to replenish your energy at the resort’s own wellness sanctuary, eat a nourishing “mountain cuisine” meal or sip small-batch whiskey at the Park City-born High West distillery. There are 46 rooms, from grass-roof houses built into the side of a hill to freestanding, adults-only abodes on the banks of Alexander Creek. Wake up to those idyllic peaks hovering over Blue Sky’s lush green landscapes, and you’ll know you’ve discovered a slice of mountain paradise.

TWIN FARMS BARNARD, VT Overlooking 300 acres of meadows and woodlands in tranquil Vermont, Twin Farms was once the lavish farmhouse home of Nobel Prize-winning author Sinclair Lewis. Visit this adults-only, all-inclusive Relais & Châteaux property and take in the cool mountain air, rest your feet by a fireplace, steep in a Japanesestyle soaking pool and spoil yourself with chef-driven cuisine so enticing that menus aren’t necessary.

Spend your summer days hiking, biking, golfing, fly fishing or canoeing, and your winter mornings snowshoeing, sledding, ice skating or skiing right in and out of the resort itself. End each day in your luxurious cottage, where American folk art, rich maple woodwork, hand-painted murals and king feather beds instantly transport you to a simpler, more elegant time. Life at Twin Farms is all about indulgence — and those surreal views are just the cherry on top.

BLACKBERRY FARM WALLAND, TN When the sun rises over Great Smoky Mountains National Park, a sacred glow brings Blackberry Farm, a luxury mountain resort in Eastern Tennessee, to life. Spread across 4,200 acres of rolling foothills, it has an on-site creamery, a bakery, a charcuterie, a spa and charming cottages with stone chimneys, fine art and wooden chandeliers. Go for the rustic-chic Southern charm and outdoor pursuits — like clay shooting, canoeing and fox hunting — and stay for its famed seasonal food and drink.

Here, chefs, a cheesemonger, a sommelier, a forager, a baker, a master gardener, a butcher and a preservationist come together to create a menu of rugged-yet-refined “foothills cuisine” that will have your mouth watering. (Think: sweet tea-brined fried chicken, guinea hen with grits and grilled zucchini or an heirloom tomato, peach and country ham salad.) Pair it all with wine from Blackberry Farm’s 180,000-bottle wine cellar, or sip one of the 600-plus different bourbons, ryes, scotches and Japanese whiskies available at Barn Bar. As you see the stars start to peek out over the mountaintops, pinch yourself knowing you get to experience the magic all over again the next day.

HELP US SAVE PRECIOUS LIVES! To support no-kill shelters, rescue efforts, spay and neuter services, veterinary work and humane education, London Jewelers President Candy Udell has created a full line of Our Cause for Paws jewelry, with net proceeds from each sale going to Rescue Paw Foundation(RPF).

Established in 2010, the foundation raises and grants funds to those whose mission is to keep companion animals alive, healthy and happy.

Over the last year, Candy and RPF have continued to work closely with No Dogs Left Behind(NDLB), which leads the way in the global war against animal cruelty. The organization operates boots on the ground in China, fighting on the frontlines to rescue dogs from the illegal dog-meat trade. With support from RPF, Jeffrey Beri and his team at NDLB were able to save a record number of dogs from China and transport them to forever homes across North America.

Unfortunately, in July 2021, the CDC issued a strict ban prohibiting animals from 113 countries (including China) from entering the U.S. NDLB and RPF are now part of a coalition of rescue organizations, in partnership with Congresswoman Kathleen Rice, leading efforts to scale back this ban — and thereby prevent millions of animal deaths. In the meantime, a new shelter

Each year in early December, with the help of about a dozen local rescues and shelters, we find loving homes for many unwanted animals — just in time for the holidays!

space on the property of Canada’s Wishing Well Sanctuary will soon open to provide a safe haven for dogs rescued from the meat markets.

Here in the U.S., RPF partnered with 4-Legged Helpers and Society for Companion Animals, based in Dallas. Together, they were able to transport 1,100 dogs and cats from kill shelters in rural Texas to no-kill shelters from New Jersey to Maine, where they will now have a chance to find loving forever homes. One example of a close partner is Kent Shelter here on Long Island, which has been taking in a steady flow of animals each month.

Candy has also been closely involved with the establishment of the LIU College of Veterinary Medicine, which opened in 2020. RPF currently sponsors a Fido Fixers spay and neuter van parked outside the school, with procedures performed by Dr. Diane Levitan.

Dual benefits are that stray animals in the area receive critical services and students get a firsthand learning experience.

Humane education in elementary schools is another upcoming focus: Candy serves on the board of HEART, which will soon resume offering humane education programs for grades K-5 throughout Nassau and Suffolk counties.

We invite you to get involved and join the cause! Visit ourcauseforpaws.org and follow us on Instagram @ourcauseforpaws.

Our Cause for Paws pieces start at $45; view the entire collection at ourcauseforpaws.org. Net proceeds from jewelry sales go directly to the Rescue Paw Foundation, which gives grants to no-kill shelters, national and international rescue missions, providers of spay and neuter services, and humane education programs.
