Coming Soon to Nashville: Doves Jewelry

Posted on June 27, 2017 by Make Technology

King Jewelers Nashville Adds Doves Jewelry to an Already Impressive Fashion Jewelry Lineup

King Jewelers Nashville already had an impressive collection of fashion jewelry from the most talked-about designers in the industry including Roberto Coin, Sydney Evan, John Hardy, Marco Bicego, Kwiat, and many more. Now, we’re excited to announce the addition of a new fashion jewelry brand to our lineup: Doves.
You’ve probably seen it on every A-List celebrity on the red carpet at some point or another, but that doesn’t mean it comes with an A-List-Only price tag! The great thing about Doves is that you get high quality, stunning fashion jewelry at a price that won’t break the bank!
Doves was started by award-winning architect Doron Hakimian, who came from a family of gemstone manufacturers. Today Doron’s the brand’s lead designer, and his unique background of architectural and gemstone knowledge certainly gives him an edge over other traditional jewelry designers. Combining 18K gold, diamonds, and remarkably vibrant colored gemstones with fashion-forward style, these treasures are not to be missed.

Doves Amazonite Ring — Amazonite ring from the Doves Amazon Breeze collection, coming soon to King Jewelers Nashville

Some of the most popular looks from the Doves line are from their vibrant Amazon Breeze collection. The pieces in this collection utilize amazonite, a gorgeous gem traditional found along the banks of the Amazon river. Amazonite is said to calm the soul and, according to myth, was used as decoration on the shields of fierce Amazonian warriors. With the resurgence in popularity of the Amazonian warrior, Wonder Woman, we suspect this gemstone’s popularity will only grow.

Doves Gatsby Onyx Earrings — Onyx earrings from the Doves Gatsby collection, coming soon to King Jewelers Nashville

Another collection that we believe will be a huge hit among fashion-forward women is the Gatsby collection. Inspired by the roaring 20s, these geometric yellow gold pieces are accented by contrasting white diamonds and black onyx.
King Jewelers will launch their collection of Doves jewelry in July, just in time for Nashvillians to add it to their hottest summer looks.

Swiss Watches Under $6,000

Swiss-Made Watches for $6,000 or Less!

Not all high-end Swiss timepieces come with a 5 digit price tag! With modern technology, shoppers can now oftentimes find a fine Swiss watch for less than $6,000, which means it’s easier than ever to start a luxury timepiece collection. We spoke with Mark, an associate in our Nashville store who has more than 35 years of jewelry and watch experience, to discuss how the watch industry has changed in the last few decades, and to see a few of his favorite watches under $6,000.

The Driver: TAG Heuer Monaco

Of the three watches Mark talked to us about, the TAG Heuer Monaco (CAW2111.FC6183) certainly has the most distinctive look. The square case and blue strap make it stand out from the classic round case, black strap watches that most men gravitate towards in their first major watch purchase. This watch was featured in the classic Steve McQueen film, Le Mans, and it’s seen a few updates since that time. The modern TAG Heuer movement is far more accurate than it was 40 years ago, and the sapphire crystal covering the dial (which is scratch-resistant) is a big step up from the plastic covers of old.

The Diver: TUDOR Black Bay Steel & Gold

TUDOR released the Black Bay Steel & Gold (M79733N-0002) at Basel this year and so far it’s been a huge hit. This marks the first time that the Black Bay has been available in steel and yellow gold. The Black Bay Steel & Gold is one of the only Black Bay timepieces which features a date function (along with the Black Bay Steel and the Black Bay Chronograph, also released at Basel this year.) The unidirectional rotating bezel and screw-down crown make it a true diver’s watch, and it’s water-resistant to 660 feet.

The Pilot’s Watch: IWC Pilot Chronograph

IWC, or International Watch Company, has consistently been a leader in Swiss-made sport watches. Their Pilot watches, as we’ve discussed in the past, are hugely popular among celebrities like John Travolta and John Mayer. With a chronograph function, day-date function, and Santoni leather strap all included in the $4,950 price tag, you’re definitely getting the most out of your money with the IWC Pilot’s Watch Chronograph (IW377709).

Cartier Panthere de Cartier Arrives in Nashville

Cartier Reintroduces a Legend with Launch of Revamped Panthere de Cartier Timepieces

They were all the rage in the 80s- Cartier’s Panthere de Cartier timepieces embodied sophistication and fashion-forward style. This month, Cartier reintroduced the iconic style to their collection in a multitude of variations, some of which are already available at our Nashville, Tennessee store in the Green Hills area. We all know that fashion is cyclical- everything comes back into style eventually- and the 80s style of the Panthere de Cartier is most definitely in.
Starting at just $4,000 for the small steel model, the Panthere de Cartier makes the perfect gift for that special woman in your life. These quartz timepieces keep excellent time, and the bracelet design is extremely comfortable for everyday wear. These watches are available in both a traditional small (22mm x 30mm) and a fashion-forward medium (27mm x 37mm) size.

All in all, the Cartier Panthere de Cartier timepiece proves that retro can be cool, and is yet another must-have watch in the Cartier timepiece lineup.
Although marketing materials frequently show this watch in and around the water (for example, in the bathtub and the pool) we don’t ever recommend submerging a watch without a screw-down crown into the water. A screw-down crown effectively locks the case so that water, which can severely damage your watch’s internal parts, can’t leak in. A standard push-crown (like the ones on these new Cartier timepieces) do not protect the case with the same level of security, and these watches rely mostly on seals to prevent leaks. Unfortunately, these seals will eventually wear out, leaving your watch susceptible to water damage. They can be repaired during a routine servicing.
