One thing women so easily overlook when it comes to jewelry is that men also like to stay in style. They do not think diamonds are their bestfriends, but they like to wear them fashionably, too, when they have to. A. Jaffe, a recognized New York diamond ring maker since 1892, understands not just what a girl wants but exactly what her man wants in jewelry as well. The brand’s I Love You – Morse Code Men’s Ring, from the Metropolitan collection, is a modern, cool and clever band made of solid metal mountings set with variously cut diamond stones along the center. Yes, those emerald cuts and round cuts, ingeniously placed beside one another, actually spell “I Love You” in Morse Code. It’ s a novel way of tell that beautiful man in your life how much you love them.

Among the many excellent things that come from good old Germany is the remarkable watch brand, A. Lange & Sohne. The famous manufacturing firm is the tradition of ingenious minds that continue to influence the course of watchmaking conventions. Ferdinand A. Lange, esteemed pioneer in horology, takes credit for more than 27 patents and is best known for his metal alloy for watch springs. He founded A. Lange & Sohne (literally A. Lange and Sons) in 1848. The Richard Lange collection is a tribute to Ferdinand, the trailblazing family patriarch. The timepieces of this set are also an acknowledgement of the crucial role of A. Lange watches in scientific observation not just as timetellers but as precise measuring devices. Until now, A. Lange watches are sought for their superior rate accuracy, dependability and crisp legibility - characteristics that not only scientists love to make use of.

May it be for your wedding, engagement or even “pre-engagement”, you can never make a mistake of choosing an A. Jaffe to symbolize your love for your partner. This was what Chicago starting QB Jay Cutler slipped on reality star Kristin Cavallari finger. Sure, their engagement was an on and off one but it’s on now. A. Jaffe rings are classic. They have been imitated but none have equaled their elegance and class. This is because of the A. Jaffe in-house designers all based in New York. With 20-25 years of experience, A. Jaffe designers make sure that these designer rings are better balanced the most rings. The signature shank is not a square base, but instead a specially engineered one that prevent rings from turning when worn. A.

Spain has created many of the world’s biggest cultural icons in the world, from running with the bulls (we suggest away), dancing in flamenco, savoring paella, or visiting one of the numerous Pablo Picasso museums. But one big icon comes in small package, actually, in really small package—the intricate designs of Carrera y Carrera jewelries. The Taj Mahal immortalized in its fine collection, the miniscule tweaks of a leopard’s muscular body, mythological creatures woven around the jewelry wrapping it in mystique, these are the finely crafted designs that have propelled Carrera y Carrera to become a leading Spanish brand and one of the world’s most distinguished fine jewelry. Bracelets, necklaces, chains, cufflinks, earrings, pendants, rings…whatever the jewelry is, it reflects the Carrera y Carrera exquisite designs that started back in 1885 when metalworker Satoria Carrera got his inspiration from nature’s little details. Ornate, elaborate, suggestive, Carrera y Carrera seems like nature’s finer details were frozen by a wizard who set them in gemstones and precious metals and delivered them to the royalty as magical gifts. Take away the wizard and magic, but the royalty is true: Carrera y Carrera is the only jewelry brand for the Spanish Royal Family.

 

Shreve is an authorized dealer of Carrera y Carrera jewelry.

The question thrown at a lady packs in an emotional high that, cheesy at it gets, a man on his knees giving his lady the ring does not fail to elicit an applauding audience…and their nosy interest at the ring. Is it an A. Jaffe? And what kind of A. Jaffe? A solitaire or multi-stone? Truly, one of the most important moments in a woman’s life deserves one of the world’s finest luxury engagement jewelries, the ladies near ground zero of the proposal ask in their heads. Abraham Jaffe wanted exactly that to happen when he started his jewelry signature in New York in 1892: Women, your man may be inarticulate with amorous words, but he can buy and pop it in front of you. And that the sparkling beauty of an A. Jaffe ring forged in platinum or gold is but your man saying, “Nothing surpasses your grandeur, but this ring comes close to it.” And so long as man professes his undying love to a woman who deserves the best, there is an A. Jaffe that will go along the question that has been popped at an unsuspecting partner in airports, coliseums, public parks, classy, as well as, seedy restaurants, remote islands, on street corners, a friend’s parties….
