Sweet Summer Wedding Proposals

Posted on July 23, 2014 by Make Technology

Are you planning on popping the big question? Finding the perfect engagement ring may have been easy, but some men have trouble choosing just the right way to propose! King Jewelers offers the following fun, summer-themed wedding proposal ideas to help get your creative juices flowing and ensure a memory that will last a lifetime.

1. Sand Castle Art

This summer, many couples are planning on taking romantic trips to the beach and if you’ve been waiting for the right time to pop the question, this is it! There are a multitude of romantic beach proposals which we’ve been lucky enough to be a part of, but a cute new trend is sand castle wedding proposals. Some men plan ahead to have an elaborate castle with the words “Will You Marry Me?” waiting on the beach when their fiancé arrives. If you’d rather work on something together, bring her to the beach and build your own sand castle- just remember to stay far away from the rising tide! Once it’s finished, put the engagement ring at the top of the tallest tower (like a flag!) and when you step back to admire your work, she’ll see the ring glinting in the sun.

2. Photo Booth

Photo booths can be found at just about every boardwalk along the coast. Sweep your significant other in to take a few snapshots and then pull out the ring box for the first picture. Be prepared though, because these pictures are usually taken very quickly! If you time it right, you can have a sweet photo set of the exact moment she agreed to spend the rest of her life with you.

3. Private Moment Followed by a Surprise Engagement Party

These days, more and more men are incorporating their families into lavish wedding proposals- anyone remember the Home Depot family flash mob proposal that went viral? But sometimes, proposing in front of your would-be fiancé’s family and friends can be nerve-wracking. Still, many women want their loved ones involved in the proposal in some fashion. A good compromise? Take a trip- it doesn’t have to be far from home, just make sure it’s a romantic spot- and secretly invite your closest friends or family along for the ride. Propose to your future bride, and after she’s said yes, lead her to a surprise engagement celebration where all of your favorite people are waiting.

4. Adventure with a Camera

Plan on taking an exciting vacation with your significant other this summer? Bring along your best camera to capture all of your favorite sights and moments from the trip. When you reach your destination, or stumble upon a gorgeous stop along the way, pause to take a photo. Set the camera to record, and surprise her by getting on one knee. This idea is great because with a little bit of technological know-how, you can easily turn your trip and proposal footage into an adorable home video.

5. Scavenger Hunt

Lead your future bride on a scavenger hunt to add an element of fun to your wedding proposal. You can lead her down memory lane by sending her to the place you had your first date, first kiss, or the first place you said “I love you.” Bonus points if you lead her to the spa for a manicure before she reaches you- her hands have to look good for the inevitable engagement ring picture! Get some friends and family in on the fun by letting them present her with the clues. The scavenger hunt ends when she reaches you and says “Yes!” to your proposal!

Our 3 Favorite Summer Jewelry Accessories for Women

Posted on July 17, 2014 by Make Technology

1. Hoop Earrings
No matter what material or size, hoop earrings are the perfect summer fashion accessory. Whether they’re paired with a messy bun, a high pony-tail, or beachy waves, hoop earrings make any outfit flirty and fabulous. For an everyday look, we recommend Roberto Coin’s 18K Yellow Gold Hoops (top left) or to dress it up, A. Link’s 18K White Gold In-Out Diamond Hoops (bottom right).
2. Colorful/Stackable Bracelets
Stackable bracelets never seem to go out of style for very long and this year they’re back with a bang! A nice mixture of texture and color will make your personalized stack pop- adding interesting dimension to any outfit. We love to stack blue and green hues in the summer, and recommend either Ippolita’s 18K Yellow Gold Rock Candy Gelato Sailor Bangle (top left) or Sydney Evan’s Emerald Beaded Bracelet (bottom right)

3. Anklet
One of the coolest jewelry trends only appears in the summer when you break out the cutoff shorts and flip flops! The key to a classy anklet is to keep it delicate! The chunkier the piece, the more distracting it is from the rest of your ensemble. A simple gold chain set with a few small diamonds will add a bit of boho chic- perfect for summer! We just love Roberto Coin’s 18K White Gold and Diamond Anklet (bottom right).

Our Favorite Dive Watches for Men

7 Best Dive Watches for Summer 2014

With so many of our clients planning to visit tropical locales this summer, we thought it’d be a good time to share our favorite diving watches for men. Whether you plan on swimming in the hotel pool, snorkeling in the bay, or scuba diving in the deep blue sea, King Jewelers has a men’s dive watch that will fit your style and budget.

1) Cartier Calibre Dive Watches for Men

Best Dive Watches for Men — Calibre de Cartier Dive Watch for Men

By far one of our favorite new watches of 2014, the Calibre de Cartier Diver Watch is not only an exceptional diving instrument but also an exceptionally fashionable timepiece. It is the smallest watch on the list (both in diameter and in thickness) making it more comfortable to wear on a daily basis. It features a mechanical self-winding movement contained within a 42mm steel case. The dial is black with 18K pink gold accents and indicators in Super-LumiNova for great visibility while underwater. Features include a date display window at the 3 o’clock position and a steel ADLC-coated bezel with indicator in Super-LumiNova. The strap is black rubber and has a steel ardillon buckle. This dive watch is water-resistant to 300 meters and is therefore suitable for scuba diving at depths which do not require helium gas.

2) IWC Aquatimer Deep Sea 3 Diving Watch

The third generation of IWC’s Aquatimer Deep Sea dive watches, and definitely our favorite of the family so far. Using three parameters (elapsed dive time, maximum depth reached during the dive and the seconds hand) the diver can plan any necessary decompression stops and remain at the necessary depth to conclude the dive safely and successfully. This watch features a mechanical self-winding movement contained within a 46mm titanium case. It has a rotating bezel with SafeDrive system and luminescent elements. The dial is black with luminescent hands for easy visibility underwater. This dive watch is water resistant to 10 bar.

3) Hublot Oceanographic 4000 Dive Watches for Men

Hublot’s Oceanographic 4000 was the first watch to have a water resistance of 4,000 meters- by far the greatest depth on our list. The watch has a self-winding mechanical movement contained within a 48mm case. It features a helium valve, which allows gases that enter the watch during descent to be released safely during the diver’s ascent. The Oceanographic 4000 is available in a multitude of models- shown here in Carbon Fiber (left) and Titanium (right). It is definitely the dive watch for serious diving enthusiasts.

4) TAG Heuer Aquaracer Chrono Dive Watch

Not only is the Aquaracer the most affordable of our dive watches for men in the collection, but it also boasts an impressive 500m water resistance. The watch features an automatic chronograph movement contained within a 44mm steel case. The unidirectional rotating bezel has six large studs for easy manipulation. Features include a date display window at the 3 o’clock position, three chronograph subdials, and an automatic helium escape valve at the 10 o’clock position which regulates pressure.

5) Harry Winston Ocean Sport Chronograph Dive Watch

Harry Winston has the unique distinction of using Zalium in their dive watches. In the 1980s Ronald Winston created Zalium, one of the lightest and most durable metals in the world, for NASA. The Ocean Sport Chronograph features a mechanical automatic movement contained within a 44mm case. The three-dimensional smoked sapphire dial features luminescent hands for easy visibility underwater. It is water-resistant to 200m and has a 42-hour power reserve.

6) Breguet Marine Royale Alarm Dive Watches

The brand name speaks for itself- Breguet has long been considered one of the best watch brands in the world. The brand was formed in 1775 and has since catered to an impressive clientele of historical icons including Marie-Antoinette, Napoleon Bonaparte, and Sir Winston Churchill. The Marine Royale Alarm is one of the few men’s diving watches to feature an alarm function, further separating it from the competition. It features a self-winding movement contained within a 45mm case and is water resistant to 300m. Although it’s available in a variety of combinations, we’re partial to the 18K rose gold with a black rhodium gold dial and blue accents.

7) Roger Dubuis Pulsion Chronograph Dive Watches

Roger Dubuis made the first luxury diver watch when they launched the Easy Diver collection (which has since evolved into the Pulsion collection.) The story goes that Dubuis was on a yacht in Europe and grew tired of taking his watch off to swim in the ocean. He vowed to make one for the following year and the Dubuis diving watch was born. This watch features a self-winding movement contained within a 44mm titanium case and is water resistant to 10 bar.

Wedding Dress Styles & Trends for Summer 2014

Posted on July 8, 2014 by Make Technology

Top 5 Summer Wedding Dress Trends

Summer is in full-swing here at King Jewelers and we’re dying to share our favorite wedding dress styles and trends for summer 2014.

1. Flowing Silhouettes

Summer wedding dress styles tend to be much more streamlined than winter dresses. While there were a few (gorgeous) dresses with full skirts, the majority of gowns were in the mermaid or a-line style. With so many beach weddings occurring this summer, it’s no wonder a more comfortable, casual shape has gained popularity. This beautiful Theia creation ups the glamor of a simple sheath wedding dress with head-to-toe sequins.

2. Dramatic Embellishment

Summer 2014 has brought us opulent gowns decorated in sequins, beading, and three-dimensional flowers. If the runways are any indication, extravagance will equal excellence in 2014 summer weddings. We love loading up on bling, but this Rivini dress with a large amount of embellishment in a concentrated area was one of our favorites.

3. Emphasis on the Back

More and more emphasis is being placed on the back of the wedding dress as time goes on. Sheer panels, shimmering appliqué, romantic lace, or dramatic buttons- the possibilities are endless and stunning. This Pallas Couture sheath gown with sheer inserts, buttons up the back, and sculpted lace cap sleeves is equally gorgeous from the front and the back!

4. Short Skirts

With the summer heat wave in full force, it was inevitable that some brides would start gravitating towards gowns with shorter wedding dress hemlines. Designers answered the demand in their summer lines, showcasing everything from knee-length elegance to well-above-the-knee drama. This Monique Lhuillier creation offsets the short skirt with delicate lace half sleeves. Speaking of lace sleeves…

5. Lace Sleeves

Kate Middleton’s lace sleeved wedding gown started a trend that doesn’t seem to be going anywhere anytime soon. Nearly every designer showcases lace sleeves on at least one dress in their Spring/Summer collections. The romantic look adds a hint of vintage flair to any gown, with the added bonus of not getting you too overheated in the summer months. We’re partial to this off-the-shoulder Berta Bridal creation with a dramatic button up back.
