Look Book

18 | The Jewelr y Book ere's always a lot going on at this time of year; and likewise, we've got a lot coming at you in this issue. Take in Peter Smith's thoughts on the importance of design in e Retail Corner (p.28); double-dip with the intrepid Danielle Barber, first – alongside her ride-or-die, Heidi Cook – extolling the Power of Belonging (p.30), and with a Christmas memory involving a mischievous canine and a diamond necklace in her Dazzle column (p.46); Kathleen Cutler dispenses her tips for turning an engagement ring purchase into a years-long client relationship (p34); and Lanny Udell goes one-on-one with the mono-monikered Bellarri in Getting to Know … (p.32-33). For some of the season's most covetable jewels, take a gander at the 12 Days of Christmas and 8 Nights of Chanukah spread (p.20-21); and take a deep dive into New York-based Goshwara by designer Sweta Jain, the subject of this issue's Wearable Prozac profile (p. 26-27). Nicole previews some holiday bling and bridal selections in Instant Style (p.40-42), which flows seamlessly into Platinum Guild International's trend report on engagement rings (p.44-45). Finally, bask in the glory of the talented Katey Brunini, whose recently released monograph-cum-coffee table book, BOW, takes readers on a trip across the ages and through the numerous cultures and spiritualities that have inspired her life's journey and her jewelry (p.38). But most of all, may we all enjoy the upcoming season with all the love and joy we deserve. And if that love and joy is expressed through the giving and/or receiving of brilliant baubles, so much the better! Cheers, y'all!
