Welcome Letter 

Welcome to Volume Three of Charmed Magazine, the award-winning 

publication from Radcliffe Jewelers. Our Publisher, Lindsey Jacobs, has once again 

created an amazing collection of stories and photographs that take you inside the 

world of fine jewelry and watches. Charmed aims to introduce you to some people in 

our lives that we love professionally, personally, and for the community service that 

they provide. 

If you want to put an immediate smile on your face, stop reading this 

welcome letter, turn to page 96 and look into the eyes of just a few of our clients 

who shared their engagement photographs with us. In the They Said Yes pictorial 

featured on three pages, you can visually interpret the purpose of our business. 

That purpose, simply stated, is to help our clients mark the special moments in their 

lives with an expression of love in the form of a treasure that has lasting value and 

meaning. 

Turn a few more pages (to page 108). In the Engaged article, you will get to 

know a few of our clients that got engaged this year in. Through their own pictures 

and words, they share their thoughts on love, relationships and the future. We thank 

these special couples for their openness and for including us in their wedding journey. 

We also take time to celebrate some great women in our lives. Girl Bosses 

puts the spotlight on some special leaders in our industry and in the community. 

Their stories are inspiring, motivating and powerful. 

2018 was a very special year for Radcliffe, as we moved our Towson location 

after more than 30 years. Our new store at The Shops at Kenilworth is bright, easily 

accessible and features Rolex, Cartier and David Yurman shop in shop environments. 

Clients are loving the design, the ease of parking and the location of the store in the 

center. We are thrilled to be joining the other best in class local tenants like About 

Faces, Ruth Shaw, South Moon Under and others. 

We love the center so much that we partnered with two other local merchants 

to open Forwardmoda, a fashion boutique featuring designer women’s clothing 

and upscale women’s shoes as well as our vintage handbag collection. Forwardmoda 

is a unique style boutique that is not to be missed. Stop in and check it out. 

Enjoy Charmed and remember that shopping locally is good for you and for 

the community. 

John & Paul 

Enjoy Volume 3. 


Where: The Food Market 

We love partnering with local businesses in the Baltimore area. 

When Chad Gauss, award-winning chef of The Food Market & La 

Food Marketa, came to us with an innovative photo shoot we 

couldn’t help but jump on the opportunity. Instead of running his 

usual ad in this very publication he wanted to “bling” his team of 

talented chefs out in jewelry and watches from Radcliffe. Here are 

some behind the scenes shots of that photo shoot. Check out the 

final product on pages 82 and 83.

OUR STORY 

Radcliffe Jewelers offers Baltimore’s luxury shoppers 

an unparalleled selection of fine Swiss timepieces, 

heirloom-worthy and fashionable jewelry, and an 

exceptional selection of giftware. From its beginnings as 

a modest, three-employee, 750-square-foot operation in 

1983, Radcliffe Jewelers has since evolved into one of the 

country’s premier luxury shopping destinations. Under 

the thoughtful leadership of partners John Shmerler 

and Paul Winicki, the two magnificent Radcliffe Jewelers 

locations attract a discerning and loyal clientele. 


OUR STORY 

The two-story Pikesville location features 

multiple shop-in-shop experiences. The first 

floor has been enhanced to include boutiques 

from Breitling, Cartier and Rolex, each adding 

to its already captivating collection of the 

finest selection of luxury merchandise. The 

impeccable selection of timepieces also 

includes Jaeger-LeCoultre, IWC, Officine 

Panerai and many more, to complement 

stunning jewelry from designers such as 

Bulgari, Penny Preville, Marco Bicego and 

Pomellato. Radcliffe also maintains an 

active estate business, purchasing luxury 

timepieces from clients, and also offering 

an extensive collection of pre-owned 

timepieces for sale. 

The second floor showcases expansive 

choices in china, crystal and giftware, an 

unrivaled assortment to delight any bride 

and groom creating a registry. 


OUR STORY 

September 2018 marked a major milestone 

for Radcliffe, as they moved from their 

Towson Town Center location to a brand new 

store at The Shops at Kenilworth. The 5700 

square-foot store boosts a state-of-the-art 

design concept and showcases well-known 

brands such as David Yurman, Roberto Coin, 

Mikimoto, and Elizabeth Locke. The elegant 

showroom features collections from renowned 

Swiss watch brands, including Rolex, Cartier, 

Breguet, Omega and more. 

Three cornerstone ideals have guided the 

company since it’s founding: service, selection 

and customer satisfaction. Radcliffe regularly 

goes above and beyond, creating the ultimate 

shopping experience for its discerning 

clientele. 

“Our service, our knowledge, our collections 

and our unyielding dedication to our 

customers set us apart from others in the 

industry,” Shmerler remarks. “We take pride in 

exceeding our customers’ expectations.” 

Nearly 70 highly trained and passionate 

associates comprise the Radcliffe Jewelers 

team, each committed to furthering the 

company’s reputation for excellence. They 

impart sincere enthusiasm with each client 

interaction, welcoming inquiries and helping 

to further individual experiences in horological 

discovery. Talented jewelers, craftsmen and 

watchmakers also maintain important roles, 

as they ensure that all watch and jewelry 

needs are met with great care. 


OUR STORY 

Throughout the year, Radcliffe 

designs and hosts many exciting 

events, focusing on providing unique 

opportunities for its customers. 

Events range from collection launches 

with celebrated watchmakers to 

in-store trunk shows highlighting 

the collections of favored jewelry 

designers, sponsorships of cultural 

happenings in the Baltimore 

community and many philanthropic 

endeavors. Among Radcliffe Jewelers’ 

annual traditions is its vibrant Holiday 

Show, which customers, friends and 

industry partners have certainly come 

to anticipate. 

The company culture is not limited 

to in-store activity, as Radcliffe 

offers clients a comprehensive digital 

experience as well. Their website 

conveys the breadth of available 

product, and Radcliffe’s team 

maintains a strong presence on a host 

of social media platforms, including 

Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, 

Pinterest and an engaging company 

blog. 

Under the leadership of Paul Winicki 

and John Shmerler, Radcliffe Jewelers 

continues to thrive. Keeping its 

founding ideals of service, selection 

and customer satisfaction close to 

heart, the company is well poised for 

many more years of success.

Improving Our 

Community & Our World 

If there is one common thread that seems to 

run through Debra Silberman Weinberg’s life, it 

is the overarching sense of community. 

For it is her love of community that defines this Baltimore 

native, and it is community that motivates her to give back. 

Raised by parents who were dedicated to uplifting those 

around them, Weinberg credits their values with making 

an indelible imprint early on. Eugene and Sandy Silberman 

were active in their four daughters’ schools and held 

leadership roles with numerous Baltimore nonprofits, 

including The Associated: Jewish Community Federation 

of Baltimore. In fact, it was through The Associated that 

they officially met, during the organization’s G-Day, 

a fundraising day in which women went door-todoor 

asking for donations to The Associated’s 

Annual Campaign. 

“My parents were determined to improve 

our community and our world,” says 

Weinberg. “Volunteering speaks to how 

we were raised.” 

Landing in Israel as a teen in 1976, Weinberg 

was caught up in an historic moment that 

would ultimately broaden her understanding 

of her role as a global citizen. The date was July 

4, and she would soon learn that the country had 

completed a daring mission in Entebbe, Uganda, saving 

nearly all the passengers who were held hostage on an Air 

France flight to Tel Aviv. 

“It’s hard to explain the passion we felt that day. It made me 

realize that we are all connected, and it became important 

to me that Israel remain an integral part of my life.” 

That connection proved stronger during her trip as she 

stood in front of the dining hall at K’far Silver in Ashkelon, 

which would later become Baltimore’s sister city. It was 

there that she saw a plaque with the names of Baltimore 

Jewish philanthropists. On that list, was her grandfather’s 

name. 


“Here I was, a world away, and there was this connection to my home in 

Baltimore,” says Weinberg. “It had a profound effect on me and the impact 

I wanted to make.” 

It was this bond to Israel, and later through her work at Jewish Family 

Services (now under the umbrella of Jewish Community Services) where 

she helped resettle the 1,200 Jews arriving from the former Soviet Union, 

that she realized that helping others globally only strengthened her own 

self-identity. 

Later, as executive director of ACHAR AI: The Shoshana S. Cardin 

Leadership Development Institute, Weinberg found a mentor in Cardin, 

the organization’s founder. She also served as the director of The Darrell 

D. Friedman Institute for Professional Development (DFI) at the Weinberg 

Center, helping to build leaders for the future. 

Following her parents’ lead, Weinberg became involved with The 

Associated, sitting on its Young Leadership Council, and chairing a number 

of committees, including the Israel and Overseas, as well as Community 

Planning and Allocations committees. Today, as The Associated’s Chair 

of the Board, Weinberg is proud that she can continue her work to build a 

strong Jewish community. 

“People often come to me when they are facing difficult times. For 

example, I was recently asked about how to help an older adult, who 

experienced financial abuse and I referred them to CHANA, The 

Associated’s agency that supports abuse and trauma survivors. I 

also connected people who lost jobs to The Associated’s network of 

organizations, including Jewish Community Service and CHAI, to help 

them get back on their feet. 

“I am so grateful I can provide them with a number for where to turn.” 

One of Weinberg’s most memorable moments came years ago, when she 

was newly married to her high school sweetheart, Joe. It was then that her 

mother-in-law, Lillian Weinberg, gave her the gift of becoming a Lion of 

Judah (see sidebar). 

Being an Associated Woman and a Lion of Judah is meaningful to 

Weinberg. 

“I still treasure that moment. When she passed down the family legacy of 

giving, it made me realize I had a philanthropic responsibility to give back 

and make an impact.” 

The lesson is not lost on Weinberg who wants to continue the philanthropic 

tradition. 

“I’m looking forward to passing down this legacy to my children, including 

Lion of Judah to my daughters, making them Associated Women, so that 

they too can make the world a better place to live.” 

Jewish women are leading the charge in their local 

communities as philanthropists and global activists. 

In the federation system, they are contributing 

millions of dollars collectively through individual 

gifts in their own names. 

The generosity of these women is acknowledged in 

many ways, including through giving societies that 

reflect the levels of support they are contributing. 

None is more recognizable than the Lions of Judah. 

Known for its distinctive gold pin, the Lion of Judah 

giving society was created in 1972 by Norma Kipnis- 

Wilson and Toby Friedland for the Miami Women’s 

Division Campaign. The program was adopted 

nationally in 1980. Today, Lion of Judah encompasses 

17,500 philanthropists around the world. 

The women who support their federation 

campaigns at the Lion of Judah level are touching the 

lives of the young, the old and the vulnerable in both 

their home communities and in Jewish communities 

worldwide. 

In Baltimore, the Lion of Judah giving level begins 

at $6,000. Women have the option to purchase the 

Lion of Judah pin. The pin is an international emblem 

of generosity and unites its wearers in a sisterhood 

of concern and compassion. As women increase the 

level of their giving, they are encouraged to add a 

stone to their pins to reflect their increased gifts to 

the campaign. 

Every two years, Lions of Judah gather for an 

international conference at which they learn about 

the impact of their giving and hear from speakers 

from a variety of disciplines. 

Many of the women giving at this level ensure 

that their generosity will remain a lasting legacy by 

endowing their gifts. The Lion of Judah Endowment 

(LOJE), which celebrates its 25th anniversary this 

year, is a key part of the Lion of Judah program. By 

creating a LOJE, Jewish women provide the funds to 

meet needs at home, in Israel and around the world. 

Lion of Judah is an integral part of women’s 

philanthropy in communities across the country 

and Baltimore is home to hundreds of women who 

have embraced the important value of caring for 

others. 


Custom Design 

Radcliffe Jewelers is happy to bring your jewelry design ideas to life. Our process and talented team 

allows us to work together to create jewelry and engagement rings unique to your personal style! 

How we bring your vision to life 

The concept will be sketched when you 

meet with our designers. 

Next we create a 3D illustration of the concept including 

structural details and specific elements of the design. 

A computer generated rendering will be emailed 

to you for approval. In most cases you will also be 

presented with a video animation of the piece. 


Upon your approval of the design, we transform your vision into a 3 dimensional model on our state-of-the-art 3D printer. 

The model is then prepared for casting into a precious metal. 


The casting is then passed along to one of our expert craftsmen. 

The creation is cleaned, polished and set with diamonds and gemstones. 

Last but not least, we 

deliver the final piece 

to you to wear and enjoy! 

Our creative team is looking forward to making your ideas come to life.

Off the Cuff 

with Julez 

The designer behind the California-based jewelry brand, Julez Bryant, tells 

us about her inspirations and how she got her start in jewelry design. 

When did you realize you wanted to be a jewelry designer? 

As a child I dreamed of being a wooden toy maker. I always loved to get my hands dirty. My mother could barely keep 

me preoccupied so she thought maybe I could sit through an art class. After 3 hours straight she had to pull me 

away. My fascination wasn’t with art per-say, but rather with the notion that humans could create anything. After 

years of my corporate job I was given a gift from a friend that passed away. It had a little charm, so I repurposed 

it into a necklace I could wear daily...that was the catalyst. The more I created, the more I saw the possibilities. 

My grandmother always adorned herself with baubles and was born in a gold mine, perhaps it was always in me 

because of her spirit. I began right at the time women began to self purchase and for some reason my designs 

resonated with women. That joy and empowerment women have gained from our little treasures continues to 

inspire me. Julez is my nickname and Bryant was my grandfather’s and my son’s middle name. Gia my daughter is 

also designing now, it’s exciting to see the brand evolve. 


What is your inspiration? 

My inspiration usually starts with a sketch or 

doodle. If there is a pen or scrap of paper I doodle. 

I sketch in every city I go to. I’m fascinated by the 

findings on buildings, the color of the rust and age of 

parts that keep the buildings together. Between the 

ocean I live by and the cities I love to visit, somehow 

an organic structural piece forms. What makes our 

pieces special is the simplicity and imperfections of 

the metal. 

Who are your fashion icons and role models? 

My fashion icons would be Isable Marant. I appreciate 

her vision, her ability to create feminine androgynous 

clothing. There is a strength in her designs and yet they 

are so sexy, wearable and relevant. Coco Chanel for 

forging new territory in the world of fashion. Despite her 

challenging childhood she persevered. I don’t love the style 

of her work, but I respect it very much. I can’t say I have a 

specific role model, however I try to model myself and our 

company after humans that pull their boot straps up, work 

hard and try to do the right thing. I’m not impressed with 

things, but rather the journey to getting the things. 

What would you be doing if you weren’t in the jewelry 

business? 

If I weren’t in the jewelry industry I would most likely own a 

business in a different industry. I love being a part of a team. 

Something perhaps in medicine, research, or stats OR living 

a crazy life going to war-torn countries and being a part of 

different cultures. Money doesn’t drive me, smart business and 

thinking drives me. 

What’s in your personal jewelry box? 

My children are my most precious loves, so I wear a bracelet my 

daughter Gia gave me and a ring my son made. I’ve started to collect 

work by designers whom I adore and respect. My grandmother’s opal 

cuff is very special to me. 

What can we look forward to in 2019? 

2019 brings new adventures, new designs and new partnerships. Each 

year we grow and I believe Julez Bryant is really hitting its stride. I try 

to stay grounded and never rest on our laurels. Be fresh and relevant 

while continuing to be a trusted brand. I hope to have Julez Bryant forge 

new territory for high-end fine jewelers. To bring artisan jewelers to the 

forefront of the future of this industry. We are so excited to be a part of 

such a well respected company like Radcliffe.

diamond dial. The Chanel 

timepieces are classic and 

effortless. Perfect from the 

beach to the symphony. Truly 

affordable luxury. 

Portugeiser CHRONOGRAPH 

Classic Watch 

by IWC 

Rob M. 

I think this is the perfect watch for 

every occasion. Refined, sporty styling 

in a chronograph that is suitable for an 

anniversary dinner with my wife or a sailing 

trip on the Bay 


Gatsby Earrings by Messika 

Shelly F. 

Dressed up or down, these diamond and pink 

gold earrings by Messika are simple, elegant 

and sexy. I love the way they move and they 

are lightweight and easy to wear. 

Princess Flower Earrings 

by Roberto Coin 

Jeff J. 

I love these earrings because 

they look great on, whether 

you have short or long hair. 

The precious twisted 18 

karat gold that surrounds 

the diamonds are a perfect 

complement. 

RENDEZ-VOUS DAY & NIGHT by Jaeger-LeCoultre 

Susan M. 

I love watches and wearing this JLC timepiece is like wearing a piece of art, a 

mini machine and functional jewelry all wrapped up in one. This watch has over 

200 parts and a 40-hour power reserve. 

It has timeless sophistication and can be worn from day to night. The diamond 

bezel is not overpowering, thus giving the watch an understated richness. The 

day & night complication gives the watch two different looks. It’s like having 

two different watches for the price of one. I recommend getting a second color 

strap right away, since the interchangeable strap system makes it so easy to 

change yourself and gives the watch more longevity. 


Meet 

Jessica Smith 

Founder of Forwardmoda 

Forwardmoda is a unique boutique. Forwardmoda 

is the go-to place in Baltimore where you can pick 

up a great new dress, top, sweater, pair of jeans, 

sporting a tag in the neckline from a designer not 

commonly found in the area. Forwardmoda is a 

one-stop-shop offering women in the area a large 

collection of sought after vintage designer bags, 

just a hint, Chanel and Hermes… while slipping 

your foot into a new pair of red bottoms, yes, 

Christian Louboutin shoes at a more affordable 

price. 

No, Forwardmoda is not a consignment store. The 

only “pre-owned” items are the handbags, and 

that is a big IF they were even used. 

Clothing was all hand selected by me. I spent 

lots of time in New York City at showrooms and 

shows getting to know a lot of the major high-end 

designers and staff. 

What is the inspiration behind the store? 

I recently had a baby and was a stay-at-home-mom. I wanted to figure out 

a way to be at home and work at the same time. So the idea of opening a 

women’s e-commerce website stuck for some time. Eventually I purchased 

a domain, got all the necessary paper work done and voila…I had an online 

store! 

I had no intentions of opening a brick and mortar location since I have 

a baby at home, but I ran into one of the employees at Radcliffe during a 

Target run and was sharing my idea. She reached out to me days later and 

proposed this great idea to collaborate with Radcliffe and Amuze. Things 

just came together so fast, I could not say no. 

How did you get into the fashion industry? 

I have always been obsessed with fashion. My late father, owned a business, 

and he was so particular about how much time we spent away from it. To 

make up for the lack of family vacations, we often went to King of Prussia, 

DC, or Tysons Corner on the to go shopping. 

What do you like most about The Shops at Kenilworth? 

It is small, boutique-y feel with great little shops! 

What fashion trends are you obsessing over right now? 

Leopard, vegan leather, cashmere, and winter whites! I also like the flared 

leg jeans!! 

What fashion trend are you over? 

Boyfriend styled denim. 

What do you like to do when you’re not working? 

Shop, haha, and of course spending time with my adorable little girl, 

Anastasia.

Welcome 

to the 

A showcase of Radcliffe’s newest brands 

The team at Radcliffe scours the globe to bring the best jewelry and watch brands to 

Baltimore. We are excited to introduce the latest additions to our showcases. 

Alexis Bittar 

Alexis Bittar is the eponymous name of the jewelry 

brand founded by 2010 CFDA Accessory Designer of 

the Year, Alexis Bittar. Best known for hand-carved 

lucite bangles, Bittar’s elegant, yet bold creations 

have been sought after since their discovery in 

1992. The care that goes into creating every style 

reflects the brand’s belief that the pieces are to be 

viewed as collectible, modern heirlooms that will 

stand the test of time and trends. While undeniably 

luxurious, with many designs featuring precious 

metals and semi-precious stones, the brand’s 

work is accessible, unique and attainable. Luxury 

in this case is in the design details, the quality of 

materials, and ultimately the way the pieces are 

cherished and worn. 

Julez Bryant 

Julez started her creative journey in 2003 in San Diego, California. As the director of a technology company, she developed a strong intellect 

for business acumen. Her sense of ambition and creative drive was redirected when a dear friend, who later lost his life to cancer, gave her a 

charm. “He taught me to capture life and run with it,” says Julez. Julez’s creative exodus started when she converted the charm into her first 

design. Since then Julez Bryant has grown from modest beginnings to one of the most sought after fine jewelry brands. Julez Bryant was built 

on the foundation and belief that women should always feel empowered and sexy in what they wear. Twelve years later, Julez and her skilled and 

seasoned team continue to hand-forge each piece in her design studio along the Southern California coastline. The collection combines Julez 

love of bold shapes with luxe materials such as 14 karat and 18 karat rose, yellow, and white gold with a purposeful sprinkling of diamonds and 

semi-precious stones. As a natural and ambitious risk taker, Julez continues to grow the company by adding new branches to the brand. Julez 

daughter, Gia, joined her side three years ago. Together they created their newest design venture, “The Metro Collection”. This addition is Julez 

and Gia’s homage to September 11th while exploring the light-filled windows of the NYC skyline. Together, the mother-daughter duo maintains a 

hands-on approach to all customers and the retailers carry the brand. Julez and Gia aren’t here to be a ‘one hit wonder’; their mission is to create 

a jewelry box that lasts a lifetime. Each season, Julez challenges herself to create pieces that are both relevant and fresh, while still maintaining 

a sense of timelessness and class. Truly one-of-a-kind, Julez continues to cultivate a jewelry line that inspires women. Julez invites you to follow 

her creative journey, as it promises to be an exciting one.

aesthetic that draws inspiration from the world’s most dynamic city and the amazing

for their fluid lines, perfect material vocabulary and flawless reflective qualities.

woman who go beyond the obvious cues of status. Maral’s vision is to create bold, 

emotive pieces that assert an unmistakable presence yet are effortless to wear, day

Spinelli Kilcollin 

Pasquale Bruni 

Spinelli Kilcollin is a luxury jewelry company based and manufactured in Los Angeles, 

CA. The company was founded by designer Yves Spinelli, in 2010. Yves Spinelli was born 

in Honolulu, the son of Italian hairstylists. His introduction to the fashion world came 

through his father Antoine Spinelli, who spent time between Hawaii and New York 

City working alongside renowned hairstylists Paul Mitchell, Garren Defazio and Roger 

Thompson in the 70’s and 80’s. Yves studied jewelry in high school at Punahou. After 

moving to Los Angeles in 1997, he began his career in luxury fashion working at the iconic 

boutique Maxfield, moving up to store manager and top salesperson of Maxfield Bleu 

from 2005 – 2009. After years of working at Maxfield with some of the best designer 

collections in the world, Yves was inspired to start designing jewelry. In a marketplace 

of ornate and figurative jewelry Yves yearned for something clean and architectural. He 

created a set of linked rings of different thicknesses which could be worn a number of 

ways – spread across three fingers, or stacked on one. From this first set he immediately 

began taking private orders. Spinelli Kilcollin launched their first group of interconnected 

Galaxy Rings at Maxfield, and began incorporating diamonds into their collection. In 

2012 they made a custom linked ring for Ikram Goldman with 5 carats of diamonds, 

and immediately garnered national press and the attention of luxury retailers. Spinelli 

Kilcollin continues to develop their voice by combining a contemporary minimalist 

aesthetic with intricate craftsmanship and materials, aspiring to become a dominant 

voice in the luxury market. 

Pasquale Bruni has been creating, for two generations, stunning jewelry for women all 

over the world. Every creation is a blend of the nobility of metal with the richness of the 

gemstones. Each piece is made by hand in a workshop in the heart of Italy, where every day 

he brings his craft, spirit of independence and experience to the study and development 

of collections. The work he performs is the expression of a “Vera Passione”, a true passion 

which anyone wearing Pasquale Bruni’s jewelry can feel. Creating a company recognized 

worldwide for the excellence of its craftsmanship and unique designs. Pasquale Bruni 

has epitomised quality. Along with his daughter Eugenia, Creative Director of the brand 

since 2001 and his son Daniele, now the CEO of Pasquale Bruni USA. Nature is a source 

of inspiration and women its true muses. The creations reflect a love of freedom and the 

freedom of women. Jewelry of dynamism, expression and passion takes shape, revealing a 

constant desire to experiment. What comes across is a desire to imbue the jewelry with a soul, 

so that the soul is truly visible.

Jill Brown 

Professional Stunt Woman 

Jill Brown performed her first stunt at just three years old when she jumped off 

the three-meter high diving board (orange, arm floaties and all). Jill claimed 

she was bored in the shallow end. 

Jill attended Arizona State University where she received a Bachelor of Arts 

in Communication and Sport Psychology. She minored in beer and tanning. 

A mutual friend introduced Jill to East Coast stuntman George Aguilar urging 

her to become a stuntwoman due to her exceptional athleticism. George and 

his stunt team took Jill under their wing and trained her in all facets of stunt 

performance and eventually stunt coordinating. 

Due to her comedic sensibilities, Tina Fey approached Jill while shooting an 

episode of “30 Rock.” Tina promoted Jill to stunt coordinator the remaining 

six seasons. Jill went on to coordinate Ms. Fey’s Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt 

(Netflix) and Great News (NBC). Continuing in the comedy field, Jill also stunt 

coordinates/ed, Young Sheldon, Fuller House, Blunt Talk, Grace and Frankie, 

Trial and Error, American Woman (just to name a few) making her one of the 

few female stunt coordinators in the country…a position she hopes will open 

up to more of her female colleagues. 

Jill was nominated for an Emmy in 2015 and again in 2017 for BEST STUNT 

COORDINATOR FOR A COMEDY for Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt. 

She is a two time WORLD STUNT AWARD WINNER for her work on TA XI (2005) 

and THE CELL (2001). Jill has also been nominated four times by the Screen 

Actors Guild for Outstanding Action Performance by a Stunt Ensemble 

in a Motion Picture for The Amazing Spiderman, The Bourne Legacy, The 

Adjustment Bureau and I Am Legend. 

Jill is also a comedy writer and wrote for such television programs as Wipeout 

(ABC), Killer Karaoke (Tru TV) Spell-Mageddon (ABC Family) as well as 

Refinery29, The Huffington Post, Film School Rejects and MTV News. 

How did you get started in your career? 

When I was three years old I decided I had enough of splashing around in the 

kiddie pool with the other babies. I was restless. I was bored. I wanted more for 

my life. I marched my mini sausage legs over to the deep end of the pool and 

climbed the ladder of the high diving board. I hiked up my orange arm floaties, 

waddled over to the end of the plank and stared down into the chlorinated void. 

I was scared and thrilled all at once. This was happening. 

I jumped. It was awesome. I belly-flopped. It wasn’t awesome. A floatie flew 

off. It was missing in action. I bobbed in the water, crying hysterically trying to 

stay afloat. I could barely make out my mother’s screams, but finally someone 

rescued me and brought me to the deck. My mom swooped me up and held me 

close. Eventually I pulled away, wiped my tears and turned to her, “Can I go 

again?!” 

Twenty some years later when David Shulman, (my physical therapist who 

treated me for multiple sports injuries) suggested, more like insisted I get 

into stunts, I was intrigued. He previously treated an up and coming stunt 

coordinator out of DC and made the introduction. As luck would have it, this 

stunt coordinator ended up being one of the most sought after action directors 

in the country. He had a team of stunt men who trained me and taught me the 

ropes of the business. We’re still close and still work together some twenty-five 

years later. 

What inspires you? 

Collaborative creativity, boldness, fairness, open minded people, intelligence, nature, 

hiking, biking, and being lucky enough to work with extraordinary people. 

Who is your role model? 

My father, Stanley Brown, instilled in me that if I work hard and do what I love, a 

fulfilling career will follow. Hear that YouTubers? 

My father also taught me how to safely jump off the jungle gym at a very early age. 

Who knew it would come in so handy years to come?! 

How do you give back to the community? 

Come to think of it, not enough. 

Since my business is predominantly male and when I say 

predominantly, I mean “ALL”, I try to mentor younger 

stuntwomen so they too can eventually segue into 

the management position of stunt coordinating. 

What is the one piece of advice you would 

give young girls today? 

Just as there will always be people who will 

keep you down to make themselves feel 

higher, there are also people who will 

lift you up to watch you shine. Gravitate 

towards the lifters of the world and 

shine on. 

What is your favorite thing to do in 

Baltimore when you visit? 

Play hide and seek with my 

nephew, listen to music and hit the 

downtown shops with my niece, 

check out any new gold hoops (my 

thing) at Radcliffe and of course this 

goes without saying, eat all things 

crab related. I mean it’s astounding 

the amount of crab I eat when I’m 

home. It’s also common knowledge 

in my family that I can take down an 

entire Ledo’s pizza. No pepperoni left 

behind. 


THE START OF SOMETHING BRILLIANT 

THE ASHOKA® DIAMOND RING COLLECTION 

AVAILABLE EXCLUSIVELY FROM KWIAT

Patricia & Myriam Gumuchian 

Designers of Gumuchian jewelry 

Gumuchian is a gem of a jewelry collection that’s treasured by the cognoscenti who 

can spot true European craftsmanship and superior design a mile away. Owned and 

operated with meticulous attention to quality by Anita Gumuchian and daughters 

Myriam and Patricia, this boutique company is proud to do it all, from the selection 

of brilliant diamonds through their family-run offices in Antwerp, to the actual 

manufacturing in the heart of New York. 

These three women design every piece of their sparkling collections with an 

intuitive feel for what modern women of style crave today. Generations of experience 

combined with pure passion glow through: owning a Gumuchian is owning a piece 

of art. 


We were lucky to be born in a family of jewelry and stone merchants. When our mother 

decided to start a fine jewelry company in NY she asked us to join her while we were 

still in college and we both said yes and the rest is history. 2019 will mark our 40th 

year in designing and manufacturing in the heart of Manhattan as an all-woman run 

company. 

When did you know that you “made it”? 

When one of the finest jewelry maison asked us to design and produce pieces for them. 

Unfortunately we are not “allowed” to say who they are. Besides them we are lucky to 

count the finest retail stores in the US as our partners. 

What do you like most about working in the jewelry industry? 

The trust that still exists in our industry is totally unique to our industry plus this 

industry is one close knit family and that’s one of the things we love the most about it. 


Nature, architecture, fashion and designing pieces that are versatile allowing women 

to create their own look. Our passion is to create designs that are not only future 

heirlooms but also fashion-forward for today’s woman. 


Our mother, she is one classy lady who taught us to always be true to ourselves and 

make the finest pieces available. Never compromise quality. 


We have several collections that have a charitable component such as our “B” collection 

and Tiny Hearts collection. Partial proceeds from the honeybee inspired “B” collection is 

donated to the University of Minnesota Bee Squad non-profit research program, to help 

save the bees and spread awareness behind the decline in the honeybee population. 

The Tiny Hearts collection is near and dear to our hearts and will honor the Babies 

Heart Fund within the Pediatric Cardiology Department at the Columbia Medical 

Center. Partial proceeds from sales from the collection will be donated to further their 

invaluable, lifesaving work. Also, Myriam is ver y involved in the industr y. She is on 

several industry boards and always finds the time to mentor new people in the industry. 

What is the one piece of advice you would give a young girl today? 

Don’t give up on your dreams and connect on Linkedin with ever yone you meet and 

keep contacting people you want to work with or meet. One email is NOT enough resend, 

resend and resend!

What do you like most about working in the Baltimore? 

Everything! So much is going on in the City – from Station North to Port Covington, there 

are great things happening everywhere – it’s fun to be a part of it. 


People who don’t give up – who are facing odds that seem insurmountable but figure 

a way to get it done. People with courage and who dream big! We have a motto here 

at Port Discovery, and it’s one I totally believe in – “If you can dream it, you can do it!”

arts and cultural community ……. And it’s often times the one on one interactions that 

are the most rewarding.

Don’t be afraid to fail …Develop resilience …and don’t care what others think! 


Tanya Farah 

Designer of Tanya Farah jewelry 

In the ten years since Tanya Farah has launched her collection, her 

feminine, easily wearable, and exquisitely detailed designs have 

struck a responsive chord among retailers and customers alike. 

Farah understands the need for simplicity and elegance. “Women 

want jewelry with designs that are understated, creative, unique, 

and manage to express their individuality. They also want jewelry 

that accentuates their beauty and yet works on all levels of their hectic 

lives.” 


This is a fun question!! I actually had a completely different career 

prior. I earned my Ph.D. in Organizational Psychology at 25 and then 

from there began consulting for corporations. Although I enjoyed what 

I was doing, I still felt a piece of me was missing. Originally from another 

part of the world, and moving to the US with my family at a young age, 

I formed a huge sense of independence. Being new to a country and 

essentially starting a new life with my family, there was a feeling 

of determination to make it here. This independence 

and determination would help me begin to unveil 

my true love, I not only wanted to be my own 

boss, but I wanted to share my family’s story. 

One of my earliest and fondest memories is 

seeing my mother wear my madar bozorg 

(grandmother’s) jewelry from our country, 

Iran. Seeing these jewels, I felt a piece 

of histor y was being passed down from 

generation to generation, and eventually 

the jewelr y was passed along to me. The 

art of story telling from jewelry fascinated 

me – I soon found myself taking jewelry 

classes and an apprenticeship to then 

begin my true passion as a jewelry designer. 


I never feel I made it. Every time I accomplish 

the goals I set, I get motivated to reach higher to 

accomplish another. I always feel there is so much more 

to learn and to understand. The process of ‘making it’ to me, is a 

continuous effort of learning throughout life and to never stop achieving 

your goals. 


Because we manufacture in the US, every time we finish a piece I know 

it has passed through the hands of many different people. Our jewelers, 

stone setters, beaders, casters, all come from different parts of the world 

and the moment when our piece is complete, a sense of unity surrounds 

the design. Our team includes people born and raised in the US as well 

as artisans from Turkey, Ecuador, Italy, China, and Egypt to name a 

few. Each individual puts their own creative mark on a piece which 

essentially you can say traveled to many different parts of the world 

and is then delivered to our clients. 


Historical females & movements are a huge part of where I draw my inspiration. 

I dream of what these women’s’ day-to-day life was like. What they wore. What 

they experienced. What they saw & thought. One movement that has inspired 

a number of my designs is the suffragette movement. Over & over again I see 

these strong women putting their lives on the line to give a stance for their 

daughters their granddaughters and the future for women in general. These 

women deserve recognition, and also for us, as a society, today they inspire us 

to continue the fight. 


I have a few, but my number one is my mother. She put our family first and gave 

up many things for her children. As a strong woman she overcame prejudices 

and, along with my father, made a new life here in America. She also made sure 

that her children were given every opportunity to succeed in life. We ate, then 

she ate. We slept, then she slept. She enhanced our education, then she herself 

at the age of 55 enhanced her education-graduating top of her college 

class. To this day, her graciousness, generosity and strong will 

pours out. She constantly amazes me. 

My customers are also my role models. Ever yday I 

am in awe of the amazing women I am fortunate 

enough to meet. The incredible life stories and their 

accomplishments I hear from my customers is truly 

a blessing and an inspiration. 


As a mother of two fabulous children (of course 

I have to say that), I believe being a positive role 

model is vital in parenting. We all live in a world 

that is a beautiful place. Everyone no matter where 

we are in life; it is one’s responsibility to give back 

in some way. Volunteering at local programs and 

charities is a huge part of my family’s day-to-day 

activities. This fall I am embarking on a new volunteering 

path in NYC, which is mentoring young women after 

school. I look forward to speaking about the life lessons I have 

experienced, but I am excited to learn from these young women as well. 


Never stop believing in yourself. Don’t let anyone, anything, any event or 

situation give you limitations. Take everything you learn and experience in 

life as an opportunity because these are the building blocks for your future. 

Look at failures as gifts. They hurt a lot when they happen, but without them it 

would be hard to find your path to success. 


Alysha January 

Marketing and Development Manager of 

Historic Charles Street Association, 

Host of GalPal Events 

Danielle Frankel Nemiroff 

& Lisa Phillips Frankel 

Designers of Phillips House jewelry 

Alysha January is the Marketing and Development Manager from the Historic 

Charles Street Association and co-owner of Busheler’s of Baltimore. She is an 

activist who is very passionate about creating equality, inclusion, and diversity 

throughout the community. She created a blog and Instagram account called 

Discover Charm City to highlight Baltimore’s small businesses, local food scene, 

and her personal life-style. Alysha wants to show others how to live, work, and 

play in Baltimore. Alysha also host women empowerment events she calls, 

GalPal Events. She invites women to come connect with other women from 

the community in a safe open environment. She was most recently selected as 

one of Baltimore Sun’s 25 Women to Watch in 2017. She has lived in Baltimore 

for seven years. 

How did you get started in your career. 

I’ve tried a couple of different career paths, but I’ve consistently had a passion 

for helping others and promoting things I love. I enjoy social media and 

marketing but never really thought I’ d be able to do it full time, but then an 

opportunity presented itself and I jumped. 

What do you like most about working in Baltimore? 

I love that I get to live, work, and play in Baltimore. I am the marketing manager 

for Historic Charles Street Association where I work with large stakeholders and 

small businesses along Charles Street. I live right off of Charles Street too in Mt 

Vernon where I do pretty much all of my socializing. It’s awesome living so close 

to my job. I walk to work or take public transportation almost everyday and get 

to support local businesses daily. 

What inspires me? 

I get inspired by others, especially other creatives, in the world trying to make it. 

It takes a lot of hard work and discipline to make your dreams come true and it 

excites me when I see people doing big things. It motivates me to keep pushing, 

keep praying, and having faith that whatever I want out of life I can make it 

happen. 


My Momo (Grandma), Vernie Ruth Burton is my role model. I’ve never met anyone 

as selfless as she. Her faith has guided her and gotten her through difficult times 

throughout her life. She is kind, reliable, and a true pillar in her community. She 

is always first to offer to help and never complains even when she is beyond 

exhausted. I look up to her. I continue to strive to be more like her. 


I try to support and promote small businesses as much as possible. Also, when 

I host an event I typically have a community outreach component added. 

Whether its a donations drive, community service opportunities, or shining 

light on a local small business; I try to help where I can. 

My GalPal Events allow me to create a safe place for women to come together 

and connect. I think that counts as giving back to the community too. When 

women connect to other women it creates a positive community which allow 

individuals to open up, tr y new things, see new places, and step 

out of their comfort zones. 

What is the one piece of advise you would give 

young girls today? 

Make sure your girl gang consist of women who 

uplift you. If you don’t feel loved, motivated, 

and encouraged by your group of friends, 

then those aren’t the people for you. 

Playfully irreverent high fashion design and a classically chic 

aesthetic, Phillips House designers Lisa Phillips Frankel 

& Danielle Frankel Nemiroff have paved the way for a new 

category of fine jewelry. Phillips House has expanded into top 

retailers across the world, graced the pages of nearly every 

magazine to note -- including the famed cover of Women’s Wear 

Daily -- and landed on the steps of Buckingham Palace as the 

sole jewelry designer worn by the former First Lady to her historic 

meeting with the Queen of England and Kate Middleton. 


Danielle Frankel Nemiroff – I have been watching my mom from a very young age, 

creativity was something that was respected and nurtured in our house growing up. I went 

to a performing arts camp and knew from a young age that I wanted a career that would 

allow me to express my creativity every day. After college, I joined my mom and we began 

designing together. 

Lisa Phillips Frankel – My career grew very organically. My seeds were a passion for family, 

a love of celebrating memories and a craving for a creative environment. Growing up I did 

countless apprenticeships on the bench and went on to study gemology in business school. 


Danielle Frankel Nemiroff – I don’t know if I will every feel like “I made it,” but every time I 

see someone on the street wearing one of our pieces I feel so honored. I still get butterflies 

in my stomach every time! 

Lisa Phillips Frankel – Landing on the cover of Women’s Wear Daily was truly a pinch me 

moment. I will never forget that phone call, I was speechless! 


Danielle Frankel Nemiroff – I love getting to work with such fine materials. 

Lisa Phillips Frankel – Jewelry is an international language, it is appreciated by people all 

over the world and goes across generations. 


Danielle Frankel Nemiroff – I have always had two real loves in my life – fashion and dance. 

I was in the Miami City Ballet for 15 years and there gained my affinity for accessories and 

for movement, which we incorporate in all of our designs (for instance, you will never see a 

large stiff earring in our line). I have also always had a great love for fashion. I love to sit on 

the floor of my closet ever y morning and just consume ever ything that the fashion world 

has to offer – I have been doing this my whole life! 

Lisa Phillips Frankel – Architecture is something that has fascinated me from a young age. 

I love to see how things are built, with a juxtaposition of functionality and beauty. 


Danielle Frankel Nemiroff – My mom, her work ethic and desire to never accept the status

feels most natural to you and then go out and pursue it. 

Lisa Phillips Frankel – Follow you passion and don’t take anything for granted.

Co-Founders of ShareBaby Inc. 

ShareBaby was founded in November of 2014 by three local moms who wanted to 

meet the desire of mothers to share their new or gently used baby items with the 

families that need them most. ShareBaby began collecting from friends and family 

and storing donations in their basements and garages. By the summer of 2015, 

they had distributed more than 14,000 items to children in need. In August of 2015, 

ShareBaby started Baltimore’s first diaper bank to meet this specific deficiency in 

public assistance to mother and babies. 

Since then, with the help of an army of volunteers, significant contributions from the 

local community and the support of national partners, ShareBaby has been able to 

significantly increase its impact on diaper need and material hardship in the lives of 

families with young children across Baltimore City. 

ShareBaby has set the goal of distributing 2 million essential items to Baltimore’s 

neediest young children by the close of 2019. At the same time, we hope that this 

expanding reach will enable us to further inform and effect change around the very 

serious issue of diaper insecurity. 

How did ShareBaby get started? 

In November of 2014, we started ShareBaby as a small community project. We love 

Baltimore, but know that so many people living a few miles down 83 are living very 

different lives. It just didn’t make sense that on one end of town, a new mother may 

have 3 baby showers and more “stuff ” than would ever be needed and just down the 

road, there is a mother who has to choose between buying baby food or buying diapers 

for her baby. With ShareBaby, you know that your stroller or outgrown diapers are going 

directly to a child in your community. You can literally help a child today and together 

we have the potential to make Baltimore a better place for every single parent and child. 

What do you like most about working in Baltimore? 

We love the sense of community. Hundreds of Baltimore area families volunteer with us, 

host drives and donate items! We find that coming together in acts of love and service 

brings people together from all parts of the city to unite on one thing that we all have 

in common- caring for our children. 


We are inspired and deeply humbled by all the parents whom we have met through 

ShareBaby who show such grace, courage and compassion in the face of extreme 

hardships. Being a parent in any circumstance is the most difficult job in the world, 

but to meet a mother or father who is fighting to do everything for their child in the 

most difficult circumstances inspires us to keep working harder to help spread love 

and kindness in the community. 


We are all lucky to have wonderful mothers as our role models. Each of our moms 

are strong, smart and independent women who raised us to believe that we could do 

anything that we set our minds to. When we came up with the far-fetched idea of an 

organization that could provide essential items to all of Baltimore’s needy children, it 

was our own mothers who were first in line to cheer us on! 


In a world where you can be anything, first and foremost be kind and share love. 

Penny Preville 

Designer of Penny Preville jewelry 

Penny finds inspiration for some of her collections in vintage jewelry. Stars and moons, 

flowers, feathers, and garlands are among the motifs that highlight necklaces, earrings, 

bracelets, and rings. The flip side to the poetic pieces are designs with clean geometric 

lines and polished surfaces, all of which define a more modern focus. 

While the designer adds splashes of colorful gems and pearls to her exquisitely made 

jewelry, diamonds, in all shapes and sizes, are the main component in the collections. 

“Diamonds are the fairytale stone,” says Penny. 

The beauty of the designs blended with fine craftsmanship and Penny’s eye for details, 

results in heirloom quality jewels that women will put on and never want to take off. 


I graduated college with a fine arts degree and had always enjoyed making leather, feather, 

and beaded jewelry for my friends and family. After college, while living in NYC, I took jewelry 

making courses at the uptown Y, and proceeded to put together a small, precious metal 

collection. During that time, I also worked in a small retail jewelry store assembling sterling 

pieces. 


In the fall of 1978, I was honored with the New Designer of the Year Award at the JA New 

York Show. Wow, what a feeling – I 

knew we were headed in the right 

direction, gaining recognition from 

top independent stores and meeting 

and befriending many wonderful 

customers from all over the country. 

My first significant accounts also 

included department stores like 

Bloomingdales & Henri Bendel. 

What do you like most about 

working in the jewelry industry? 

It’s a very special and gratifying 

process to picture something in 

my mind and bring it to a reality. 

It’s my pleasure to put my creative 

ideas on paper, work with talented 

model makers, and assemble the 

raw materials, all so as to generate a 

gorgeous piece of jewelry as the end 

result. The progression of my original 

thought to a piece of actual jewelry that someone treasures and values is so rewarding. 


SO MANY THINGS! From fashion to the cosmos, I am passionate about my broad range of 

interests. I put a lot of energy into staying up to date with trends of accessories, jewelry and 

clothes – I also can delve into historical jewelry books and never come out! The mystical 

powers of the universe inspire me - moons and stars are at the top of my list right now. 


My mother, Joyce, is turning 92 this year and getting her BA degree from college! She has 

always been inspiring to me, not only as a mother, but also as a woman. She taught me that 

you can do anything you want if you have the desire and focus. That’s how I design, and 

the way I express myself. My mother helped me discover the road to fulfill my motivations. 


We love partnering with our retailers on events and with donations to support their local 

charities – children and animals have a special place in my heart, so I leap at the chance to 

help out with related fundraisers. 


Find something that you love to do and GO FOR IT. If you’re passionate about what you do, it 

will never seem like work. I adore being a designer, a woman making jewelry for other women. 

Seeing customers happy and hearing their stories help give me the drive to keep going.

Phillips House: 

Shattering the Traditional View of Fine Jewelry 

Phillips House designers Lisa Phillips Frankel and Danielle Frankel 

Nemiroff started Phillips House with the goal of launching a brand 

focused around the modern woman’s lifestyle with comfort and 

versatility built for every day wear. This philosophy has served as the 

basis for the duo’s designs since the launch of the brand in 2010. 

“Every day is worth celebrating, which is why we design pieces that are 

meant to be worn all day, every day, in every way” says Danielle. “You 

would never really keep your Phillips House pieces in a jewelry box, 

waiting for a special occasion, because you are going to be wearing them 

and enjoying them every single day. “ 

Phillips House’s Affair collection embodies this philosophy, celebrating 

the different affairs that the pieces can be worn to: a breakfast affair, 

a formal affair, a dinner affair and more. Featuring gold and diamonds, 

each piece allows great versatility both in function and in styling options. 

“Within our Affair collection, the Infinity necklace, named Infinity 

because it is edgeless like an infinity pool, has always been one of my 

favorite pieces,” says Lisa. “The Infinity necklace was born out of the 

need for the perfect every day piece. We wanted to design a necklace 

that had an endless amount of sparkle, while also having the ability to 

layer and mix with other pieces. Available in four different sizes, there 

is a look for everyone.” 

The Love Always bracelet, named one of the top ten most iconic cuffs 

by Harper’s Bazaar, is another signature item from Phillips House and a 

staple in any wardrobe. The button closure on the bracelet pays homage 

to one of Lisa’s most cherished childhood memories of her mother 

buttoning up her coat and kissing her before sending her off to school 

each day. 


Phillips House: Shattering the Traditional View of Fine Jewelry 

Hero collection earrings 

“Each bracelet is engraved Love Always with room to add 

an additional complimentary engraving,” says Danielle. “I 

love that you can add a personal message hidden inside, For 

example ‘Dear Bob, Happy Anniversary! Love Always, Lisa.’ 

We have seen so many different engravings, from birthdays, 

to wedding proposals, to a grandmother writing all fifteen of 

her grandchildren’s names, the stories are endless.” 

The Hero collection, celebrates the unique and varied facets 

of a woman’s personality that combine to create a beautiful 

and magical whole. Each woman has her own unique sides 

that come together to create who she is: a mother, friend, 

teacher, designer, dancer, partner, advocate, mentor. 

For Lisa and Danielle, versatility is a must when it comes to 

designing jewelry for the every day. “Many of our pieces can 

be worn several different ways,” says Danielle. “Our Pick- 

Me-Up earrings can be transformed from a short earring 

to a long statement piece with just a flick of the wrist, our 

flexible Hero bracelets can be hooked at multiple points to 

adjust the size in seconds, our Infinity enhancer earrings 

have six different ways to wear them, our Revolution pieces 

can be worn both as rings and as necklaces, the list is 

endless!” 

Phillips House shatters the traditional view of fine jewelry. 

Instead, the pieces become a part of your everyday routine, 

they become a part of who you are.

The values 

handed down 

in our family 

are priceless. 

The Footlicks have owned and operated a family 

business for three generations and have been an 

enduring thread in the fabric of the Jewish Baltimore 

community for more than 50 years. Ronnie recalls her 

father, Ed Borow, stressing the importance of taking care 

of others, both family and stranger. 

“I have shared this philosophy with my daughters and, 

through our involvement with The Associated: Jewish 

Community Federation of Baltimore, we see those 

values come to life. It is my hope that my daughters, 

and future generations, understand the importance 

of giving back and pass on the tenets that have been 

central to our family.”

Care Tips 

Caring for your jewelry is important. 

Here are some tips to remember. 

Live by this rule: Last on, first off. Jewelry should be the 

last thing you put on after you get dressed and the first 

thing you take off. This way you won’t break a necklace 

when removing a sweater or shirt. Hairsprays, lotions 

and perfumes can be harmful to some gemstones. Make 

sure you put on your jewelry after spritzing and spraying. 

Never put your jewelry in your checked luggage. 

Always pack it in your carry on so it’s with you at all 

times. 

Remove jewelry (especially rings) before 

showering, exercising, cleaning or cooking. 

Make sure your jewelry is insured. 

Fine jewelry should be checked every 6-12 months to ensure gemstones are safe and prongs are secure. 

Stop by either Radcliffe location for a complimentary analysis of your jewelry.

IWC Tribute to Pallweber 

Edition “150 Years” 

Limited Edition Watch 

In 1884, IWC manufactured the first 

Pallweber pocket watch. These 

timepieces showed the hours and 

minutes in a digital format with 

large numerals on rotating discs. 150 

years later, IWC honors the Pallweber 

pocket watch with the Pallweber 

Edition “150 Years” watch in 18 karat 

red gold.

Ask Erik 

You see a lot of vintage and pre-owned 

timepieces pieces. What’s the most unique 

watch you’ve seen in person? 

We are blessed to have been in the watch business 

for decades at Radcliffe. Over this time, we have 

seen so many great pieces pass through our doors. 

The ‘most unique watch’ that has come in has 

changed pretty regularly...that is until earlier this 

year. We had an original, unpolished, vintage Rolex Daytona in 

14 karat yellow gold with an exotic Paul Newman dial. Since the 

auction of Paul Newman’s personal watch in late 2017, which 

brought over $15.5 million, vintage watches have been more 

in the news, subsequently accumulating a new following of 

folks ranging from passive observers to passionate investors. 

There were less than 400 of the 14 karat gold Daytona made 

between 1966 and 1969, and who knows how many were lost 

or destroyed over the years. That such a rare and sought-after 

piece was on-hand to try on, share with 

local connoisseurs, and examine in 

extreme detail was a joy and not 

likely to be repeated. 

What is a tourbillon escapement and what makes it 

different from other watch escapements? 

The tourbillion was designed and developed by the 

father of modern watchmaking, Abraham Louis 

Breguet, in the late 1700s. When the tourbillion 

was introduced, it was not only a beautiful 

addition to the movement, but one highly necessary 

for accuracy due to the lack of precision capability in 

cutting and manufacturing of the parts of a watch 

movement and the rudimentary oils being used. Modern 

watch manufacturers can cut gears with a thousandth 

of a millimeter tolerance, a hundred times more accurate 

than gears of yester year. The tourbillion escapement rotates 

inside of the movement in an attempt to negate the effects 

of gravity that adversely affected watches at the time by 

shifting the oils and the escapement. The lever and co-axial 

escapements, used by the vast majority of timepieces, are 

fixed and do not rotate. With the advances in manufacturing 

techniques, varieties of oils, and specialization of metallurgy; 

the tourbillion is now just a show piece to demonstrate the 

haute horological prowess of brands.

perfect advantage. Technical perfection, on

How do I read the Power Reserve Indicator on my new timepiece? 

Ask Erik 

Power Reserve indicators vary depending on the watch and the manufacturer. There are a few rarer pieces like the 

Jaeger-LeCoultre Grande Reserve Reverso, which displays the amount of days of power reserve remaining in a 

separate aperture. Most watches use a more traditional retro-grade display in a semi-circle display, in a descent 

to zero. These displays are often on the dial, but many pieces in recent years have taken to keeping the dials less 

crowded by displaying the indicator on the case back. 

Should I invest in a watch winder? If so, what do you recommend? 

The decision to invest in a watch winder will largely depend on the 

size and complications of the pieces in your collection. With most 

individuals owning less than two watches, the watches will 

receive more than enough wrist time to warrant long stays off 

the wrist. For these instances a winder would not be necessary, 

but still a cool accessory to set on the bureau and relish your precision 

instrument in rotation. For collectors with numerous pieces that include 

complicated pieces with calendars more difficult to set, a winder is a great 

accessory and pays for itself in convenience many times over. 

We have worked with Orbita watch winders for over a decade and have 

found the quality of product and staff there always to be of quality and 

would eagerly recommend them to all. 

Glossary 

Dial: Disc or plate made of metal or another substance, inscribed with various markings, including obvious 

indications for the hours, minutes and seconds. Uniquely varied in shape, decoration and material, they are 

inscribed with numerals, figures, symbols, divisions and other information. Many high end companies use silver 

as the base for their dials. 

Movement: The assembly making up the principal elements and mechanisms of a watch or clock: the winding 

and setting mechanism, the mainspring, the train, the escapement, and the regulating elements. Basically, the 

engine which drives the watch. 

Power Reserve: The time a watch will continue running based on the movement’s residual winding of its 

mainspring. The vast majority or watches carry a 40 hour reserve, based on a shared mainspring common to 

the swiss industry. Longer power reserves are often considered in the same light as a complication. 

Tourbillion: A regulating device that cancels the effects of gravitation on the precision of a watch movement 

by rotating the balance, lever and escapement around a single axis. The mechanism that even in its most 

conventional version, is extremely hard to manufacture. A single master watchmaker would require 6 months 

to complete a tourbillion. The least expensive tourbillion from a manufacture retails for over 40 thousand with 

out any other compliaction.

Wearable 

art 

Jewelry and fine timepieces have always been considered 

wearable art; a way for the wearer to invest and express 

themselves. Jaeger-LeCoultre took the idea of wearable art 

literally and highlighted the works of a famous artist on their 

timepieces in a limited-edition series. 

Jaeger-LeCoultre & Ferdinand Hodler 

Jaeger-LeCoultre celebrated the work of Ferdinand Hodler 

with a series of three Reverso watches. Both sides of each 

piece feature reproductions of paintings by the Swiss artist 

in engraving and enameling. The artisans spent more than 

fifty hours on each watch reproducing Hodler’s paintings. 

The release of these timepieces commemorates the 100th 

anniversary of Hodler’s death. Hodler passed away in Geneva 

in 1918. His depiction of Swizterland’s lakes and mountains 

brings memories of the Vallée de Joux, birthplace of Jaeger- 

LeCoultre. 

Lake Geneva with Mont Blanc in the Morning Light, 1918 (74 x 150 cm) 

For this oil on canvas, obtaining the exact same pink and gold morning light was 

essential; it required a lot of effort. A light and very tender grey was chosen for the 

front of the watch, harmonizing with the painting’s colors. As sky and lake seem to 

blend, this painting’s interesting play of light was expressed through small spots of 

color transcribing the landscape’s depiction of peace and quiet. 


MASTER ULTRA THIN MOON 

Automatic, Calibre Jaeger-LeCoultre 925/1 

253 components, 28.800 beats per hour

Lake Thun with Symmetric Reflections Before 

Sunrise, 1904 (89 x 100cm) 

This painting gives prominence to a brighter scenery, 

the artisan’s work focused on the creation of blue 

shades revealing the mountains. The way that the 

transparency of the water lets the rocks appear in a 

foreground of green shades is truly remarkable, and 

it inspired the artisan enameller to seek out a pine 

green color to decorate the dial on the front. Ferdinand 

Hodler’s typical work on symmetry can be easily 

identified through this enameled work. 

Lake Thun, Symmetric Reflection, 1909 (67.5 x 92) 

The third painting depicts the Alps mountains’ reflection in the 

water catching the last day light. The mirror effect and the blue 

and white shades’ softness call to mind the tranquility of Lake 

de Joux. A translucent enamel in light sky blue was chosen to 

cover the guilloché.

LUMINOR DUE 3 DAYS AUTOMATIC 

WITH A DIAMETER OF ONLY 38 MM OR 42 MM, THE NEW 

LUMINOR DUE 3 DAYS AUTOMATIC HAS THE UNMISTAKABLE 

PANERAI DESIGN IN SIX NEW VERSIONS SUITABLE FOR 

EVERY WRIST AND SITUATION. 

The Luminor Due is the thinnest and most versatile of Panerai’s creations. Its elegant, logical 

design, with pure, minimalist lines, is the result of a sophisticated technical reworking of the 

historic Luminor design. This has transformed an icon of high quality sports watchmaking 

into a new classic, suitable for every wrist and situation but always immediately 

recognizable with its powerful Panerai identity. 

Panerai presents the new Luminor Due 3 Days Automatic models, with the stainless steel 

or red gold case, in sizes of 42 mm and – for the first time – only 38 mm in diameter. These 

dimensions and characteristics make these watches extremely versatile, as does the 

new range of colors for the dials and straps of each new model. 

These new Luminor Due 3 Days Automatic watches are fitted with the OP XXXIV 

Manufacture calibre, with automatic winding and a power reserve of three days, 

the basic standard of Panerai’s movements. The dial design – with large luminous 

figures in the purest Panerai style, small seconds counter and, for the first time in this 

collection, the date window – ensures the legendary legibility which has been an essential 

characteristic of the brand since the first example created in the 1930s. Mounted on the 

caseband of all the models is the bridge device with lever which protects the winding crown 

from accidental shocks, evoking the glorious history of Panerai watches, which lives again 

today in this new contemporary interpretation.

The Casual Elegance Trend 

Edward Steinberg, President 

J S Edwards Fine Men’s Clothing 

Blazer and Jeans 

A growing trend for men has been the blending of two polar opposites. The 

mixing of a sport coat or blazer and blue jeans. A blazer was traditionally worn 

only with dress or smart casual trousers, while blue jeans were a weekend go 

to gear. So how do you make them work together? Let’s begin with your jacket. 

The classic “Navy Blazer” the kind that’s full in cut with gold buttons. This type 

of blazer just does not cut it with the new quality denim that is slimmer fitting. 

You need to pick a blazer or sport coat that reflexes today’s modern fashion. 

Choose a jacket that has a softer look and feel. One that will pair well with a 

newer more casual pant or jean. Jackets have become slimmer, shorter, and 

softer. Fabrics for these newer modern jackets are being woven for the comfort 

and style of today’s flexible fashion customer. These jackets are designed to be 

for dressing up for work with a tie or for dressing down with the weekend casual 

outfit. A fashion sneaker or chunky boot will help complete that weekend look. 

Suits 

The ideal modern suit for men combines some of the same 

properties as the sport coats: softer, lighter, and slimmer. So 

how do you pick that perfect suit that can take you from the 

boardroom to the bar after work? Let’s first talk about fit. If 

you have not purchased a suit in the last several years, you will 

notice a big change to today’s style. Number one is the pants: 

no more pleats, no more full baggy slacks. Second point is color: 

from navy to the new “Mediterranean Blue”. With your new 

modern suit, it’s now easier to bring a more casual side to your 

outfit, to be worn with a tie for work or dress but yet having the 

option to dress it down and pair it with a knit or casual shirt. 

Combining new colors, textures and a slimmer looks gives you 

that look that can be both casual and elegant.

Radcliffe Roadshow 

Radcliffe Founder, Paul Winicki, finds fame and treasures on PBS’s Antiques Roadshow. 

With a passion for antique American silver, Radcliffe’s very own Paul Winicki, 

has helped unknowing guests find treasures that have been hiding right under 

their noses on the PBS series Antiques Roadshow. Antiques Roadshow, 

which kicks off its 23rd season in 2019, is the 14-time Emmy® Award-nominated 

program and PBS’s most watched series. 

Paul has toured with the television show for 11 years. His expertise is in antique 

pocket watches and wristwatches, antique American Silver as well as 

furniture from the early 19th century to the early 20th century. 

Here’s a look at some of Paul’s finds on Antiques Roadshow. 

Georg Jensen Sterling Flatware, ca. 1930 

2010 value $10,000-$15,000 Retail 

A husband’s fear of flying has led this couple on 

many road trips. On one road trip in particular, the 

guests end up at a yard sale where they purchased 

a box of silverware for $25. Today, the entire set of 

Georg Jensen sterling flatware could retail between 

$10,000-$15,000. The owners claim they are no 

longer using their flatware for special occasions! 

18 Karat Gold Pocket Watch, ca. 1885 

2010 Value $25,000-$30,000 Retail 

A family-heirloom turns out to be a masterpiece 

of horology, supposedly made by the 

guest’s great, great, great-grandfather with 

Jules Jurgensen. Despite a disparity in the 

date in a letter accompanying the watch, 

the market value of the watch is between 

$25,000-$30,000. 

Patek Philippe Lady’s Watch Set, ca. 1900 

2011 Value $15,000-$20,000 Retail 

A grandmother’s watch has been locked in a safety 

deposit box for years. The Patek Philippe watch is 

encrusted with diamonds and would have been the 

statement piece of the 1900s. Paul estimates the 

value of the watch at $15,000-$20,000. 

Swiss Watch Collection, ca 1970 

2013 Value $46,000-$57,000 Retail 

A father’s watch collection is discovered in a 

cardboard box. The box contains watches by 

Patek Philippe, two Audemars Piguet watches, an 

18-karat gold Blancpain, a Cartier Santos and a 

Rolex DateJust. The guest was anticipating a value 

of a couple thousand dollars. Paul reveals that the 

box contains between $46,000 to $57,000 worth of 

watches!

The Ultimate 

Engagement Ring 

Guide 

You found the one and now you are ready to pop the question. 

We understand that as exciting as it is, buying an engagement 

ring can be a confusing process. We’re here to help make the 

process as smooth as possible. 

The Lingo 

Here are some key terms that might come 

up when shopping for an engagement ring. 

Carat 

The standard unit weight for 

diamonds and other gemstones. 

Facet 

The flat polished surfaces of a cut 

stone. 

Four C’s 

The 4C’s refers to the four criteria 

used for diamond grading and 

certification – 

Carat, Color, Clarity, and Cut. 

Girdle 

The thin horizontal band that forms 

the widest part of a diamond. 

Inclusions 

Natural birthmarks inside a stone 

that can affect how light is dispersed 

through the stone. Inclusions can 

vary in size, shape, quantity, position, 

and color. 

Pavilion 

The lower part of a diamond, 

located between the girdle 

and the culet. 

Table 

The flat facet on the top of the 

diamond. 


Ring Styles 

Solitaire: 

A solitaire setting features one 

single diamond. That diamond can 

be any shape 

(see diamond shapes below) 

Three Stone: 

A three-stone rings is just what 

it sounds like… a ring with three 

stones. Typically a three-stone 

ring has two stones flanking a 

larger center stone. 

Halo: 

A halo setting has smaller 

stones set around a single 

larger center stone. 

Vintage: 

A vintage setting usually features 

ornate details in the metal work 

such as milgrain or filigree 

patterns. 

Who says you need a traditional engagement ring with a diamond center-stone? 

There are many choices to show your love. 

Alternative stone: 

Incorporate a birthstone or 

favorite color into the engagement 

ring by featuring gemstones that 

complement the diamond. 

Diamond band: 

Propose with a ring made entirely 

of diamonds. These rings usually 

feature diamonds that are all the 

same size instead of focusing on one 

larger diamond. 

Non-diamond Ring: 

Or forget diamonds altogether. There 

is no rule that says you have 

to propose with a diamond ring.

Chiara Ferragni & Fedez Tie the Knot 

with Rings Designed by Pomellato 

On September first, Chiara Ferragni and Federico 

Leonardo Lucia (better known as Fedez) married in 

Noto, Sicily. Chiara is an Italian fashion influencer 

known for her blog The Blonde Salad and she is the 

face of Pomellato. Fedez is an Italian rapper. Fedez 

proposed to Chiara in May of 2017 during one of his 

concerts in Verona. The proposal was broadcast live 

on Italian radio and TV. 

Pomellato was commissioned to custom-design the 

wedding bands for the Italian couple. The rings are 

set with full pave of white diamonds onto the iconic 

band rings, in white and rose gold. Inscribed on the 

inside of the ring for Chiara reads, “Federico 1-09- 

2018”, and Fedez’s ring reads “Chiara 1-09-2018”. 


Engaged 

Four R adcliffe couples share their engagement stories. 

Rob & Amanda 

Where did you meet? 

We first met in Ocean City, Maryland at Seacrets … of all places. We remained acquaintances but did not have 

our first official date until a few years later. 

Please describe the proposal. 

We were spending Thanksgiving at my Aunt and Uncle’s house on Kent Island. 

Before we sat down for dinner, Rob suggested that we take a family photo on 

the water. We walked outside to a spot overlooking the Chesapeake Bay and 

he had his sister take our picture. As his sister walked away, he pulled me 

towards him and got down on one knee to pop the BIG question! Little did 

I know, he had both of our families involved in his plan and even hired a 

secret photographer to capture our perfect moment. 

What was the first thing you did after you got engaged? 

The first thing we did after getting engaged is look back at the house 

to find both of our families looking out from the porch in elation. We 

went inside, hugged everyone and then rushed back outside for an 

impromptu photo-shoot on the water with Rob’s photographer. 

Have you picked a date? Venue? Theme? 

We are getting married in September at the Evergreen Museum and 

Library in Baltimore, Maryland. This was the first and only venue we 

toured and we both knew immediately that it felt right. 

What is something you and your fiancé like to do together? 

We love hiking, playing with our dog Cooper, a good brunch and Friday 

nights spent watching murder mysteries on TV. 

Will you be taking a honeymoon? 

We will be taking a honeymoon but not immediately following the 

wedding. We are currently narrowing down a few destinations, but our 

pick will certainly be filled with sunshine and plenty of “vitamin sea”. 

What is a fun fact about you as a couple? 

Rob owns more shoes than I do! 


Meagan + Trevian 


York, PA while I (Meagan) was doing an internship for college. 

Describe the proposal. 

Trevian proposed on May 27th at my parents’ house in New 

Jersey and it was super cute! I was talking to my mom and 

dad while Trevian said he was going to the bathroom and 

wanted to play a 2-player game on his phone and mine, 

so I tossed him my phone because I didn’t feel like playing 

(haha)! 

I went down to the basement to grab dessert, but as 

I turned the corner down the stairs I noticed Trevian 

had just closed the bathroom door and the light was 

off in the bathroom. So I asked what he was doing and 

he tried to stay calm, but I could tell something was 

going on. (I also noticed my parents had champagne all 

over the house, which is unusual). But eventually, I went 

upstairs. 

A few minutes later, he came up from the basement stairs, 

while I was turned around, and got down on one knee in front 

of my parents and sisters. He tapped the back of my leg and 

I glanced back, but didn’t see anything so I assumed it was 

our dog brushing my legs, but he touched my leg again and I 

looked and realized he was on a knee with a ring! We both got 

teary-eyed. He even FaceTimed his mom from his phone, and 

FaceTimed his dad from my phone - which was super sweet 

that they were able to see the proposal happen! Perfect 

proposal. 


Kissed and popped those champagne bottles! 


We decided on November 10th, 2019 and we are doing a 

destination wedding at Secrets Cap Cana in Dominican Republic! 


We love lifting together, eating sushi, trying new foods, binge 

watching Beat Bobby Flay on the Food Network. 


If so, where and why did you pick that destination? Our 

honeymoon is going to be at Secrets Cap Cana, DR after the 

wedding! We knew we always wanted a destination wedding 

because Trevian loves the beach and sun, and I love Fall - plus 

November 10th is our anniversary and the US Marine Corps 

birthday (Trevian is a marine)! So we get sun, fall colors, we get 

to keep the original anniversary date, and the USMC birthday! 


On our first date Trevian said he wanted me to be his girlfriend and my response was “RED FLAG! TOO SOON!” I 

was a sassy jerk. I even told him it was too soon the following two times because we only knew each other for 1-2 

months. Eventually he said he would have to adopt a dog for me to stick around (I volunteer with dog rescues 

out here), and after I finally said “yes” to being his girlfriend he surprised me and adopted my favorite dog from 

Central PA Dog Rescue - Neema! She was even part of our engagement pictures! 


Morgan & Michael 


Michael and I first met when we were 16 and 17 at a local hair salon where I used to 

work. He was in getting his hair cut and I happened to catch a glimpse of him leaving 

as he caught me saying something to my co-worker and he noticed. About a year later 

he messaged me on Facebook to let me know he was in getting his hair cut but that he 

didn’t see me. Fast forward ten years later… same hair stylist, different salon. We were both 

getting our hair done on separate days and asked our hair stylist, who is also a close friend, 

to set us up with someone. He put us together and the rest is history! 


I thought it was just another Saturday night dinner out with our best friends. I worked that 

day and Mike told me he ran in the Baltimore Half Marathon (which I later found out, was 

not true). As soon as I got home from work, I quickly got ready so we could head over to the 

Sagamore Pendry for dinner to meet the other couple. As we were seated at a window table, 

my friend texted me saying they were running late. While we were waiting, a Pendry employee 

stopped by our table and told us that Mike’s uncle called to let their team know we would be 

dining there that evening and offered us a tour of the hotel. I didn’t think much of it because our 

friends were running late so we had the time to spare. The lady showed us another bar area, 

the lobby, and the courtyard and then told us she was going to show us the presidential suite. 

The moment the door opened, I saw candles, flowers, balloons, and champagne. Michael then 

walked outside to the balcony overlooking the harbor, got down on one knee, asked me to marry 

him … and I said “YES”! Afterwards I looked over and saw my best friend (the one who was “late 

for dinner”) peeking through the window taking pictures! Our parents came upstairs to join our 

celebration and have dinner together before heading across the street to a local bar where we 

had another big surprise: our best friends and family were waiting for us to celebrate! 


The night we got engaged, we were surprised by our closest friends 

and family at a local bar. The following morning, we had a surprise 

brunch at his parents’ house with even more family and friends. 


We are getting married in November at the Park Hyatt in 

Washington, DC. 


We enjoy attending Orange Theory workouts, binge watching 

TV shows, going on dates to our favorite restaurants (as well as 

trying new ones) and relaxing on the beach. 


Yes, we will be honeymooning in Southeast Asia / the 

Maldives. We choose this destination so we could enjoy a mix 

of relaxation and the beach as well as adventure. 


We met in high school but ten years went by until we started 

officially dating. We also love trying new restaurants 

and are lucky enough to travel between Baltimore and 

Charleston (because of Mike’s job) so we can really work on 

expanding our list. 


Kira + Jason 


I joined Jason’s gym, Knockout Fitness, a studio boxing fitness gym in 

Federal Hill. He was my trainer…I guess he liked how I worked out (Actually I 

was the one that chased him!) 


We were in Corfu, Greece at a resort called Ikos Dassia. We had just gotten 

back to our villa after an amazing wine tasting (lots of wine and some 

shots so I was feeling good!). We were driven in a golf cart back to our villa. 

Jason took my hand and said, “come here.” There was a table set up with 

champagne and rose pedals in the back by the pool. Right then I knew 

what was happening. Jason got down on one knee and gave a speech and 

proposed. My whole family was there hiding! As soon as I said yes and kissed 

him, my family popped out and started cheering. It was perfect! My family 

says it was like a scene from the Bachelor! HAHA. 


Well first, we drank champagne with the whole family, lots of it. Then we 

went to a Greek restaurant at the resort to celebrate. And then a local tiki 

bar to celebrate even more! 


September 2019. No idea where or what theme yet! 


We both enjoy boxing/working out. We also love good food. We try to go out 

for date night as much as we can! We love travelling too. 

Will you be taking a honeymoon? If so, where and why did you pick that 

destination? 

We have been discussing but it’s not final – maybe Bora Bora/Maldives, 

somewhere with huts on the water. Still up in the air! 


Whenever we order drinks, the 

bartender/waiter always gets 

our drinks confused. I order the 

hard stuff – bourbon,whiskey, 

or martinis, and he always 

orders pink fruity drinks. It’s 

hilarious! The household 

roles are reversed at our 

house! He cooks, cleans & 

does the laundry. And I’m 

the one that takes out the 

trash! 


Happily Ever After 

Krissy 

& Billy 

June 2, 2018 

Ayse Meze Lounge 

Frederick, Maryland 

Photography by: 

Lauren Myers Photography 

Billy Doherty and Krissy Kunkel met in August 2010 in Arlington, Virginia. Both were starting new careers in a new city and happen 

to live in the same townhouse complex. One August day, Billy was outside with his roommates and spotted Krissy walking into her 

townhouse, hands full of groceries. They started to chat and soon enough Billy, Krissy, and their roommates were going to National’s 

games and enjoying all that Arlington and DC has to offer young twenty-something. This was the beginning of a great adventure. 

They lived together in Arlington for a few years before Krissy went to graduate school in Baltimore, Maryland. After graduation, 

Krissy was offered a job in Baltimore and they decided to make the move to the suburbs of Maryland. It was here that Billy proposed. 

Late one evening in April, they decided to go to dinner. Billy walked upstairs to put on his sports jacket; Krissy was puzzled as to why 

he was getting dressed up. Not only that, she made seven wardrobe changes to match his outfit. When she came downstairs, Billy 

was down on one knee and proposed. She immediately said yes! 

The two married on June 2, 2018 at the Ayse Meze Lounge. With the help of Katie Milstone, of Andrea Leslie Weddings & Events they 

brought the idea of an intimate Mediterranean inspired affair to Frederick, Maryland with an al fresco dining and entertainment 

experience. 

The day was marked with many special memories. Right before the ceremony it started to drizzle lightly. Krissy’s dad had walked her 

down the aisle and the officiant was about to begin when “a dove landed right in the middle of the aisle and flew away. I felt that was 

a little special omen.” 

After dancing the night away the couple went on a mini-moon at the Salamander Resort and Spa in Middleburg, VA. They will enjoy a 

honeymoon in Barcelona and Italy in late 2018.

Q &A 

Merritt Miller and Rachel Rubin are 

sisters and partners of Renaissance 

Fine Arts and Merritt Galleries. 

Their galleries’ collection is a diverse mix of 

unique works from established to emerging 

artists, from local artists to those halfway 

around the globe. They invite you to join them 

on a journey into the world of fine art. 

Tell us a little bit about your galleries. 

We kind of “grew up” in the business; our 

mother started it over 30 years ago out of our 

house. Over the first four years, she opened 

our first two gallery locations and frame shop. 

Five years later, we opened our third gallery. 

Today, our collection resides in three galleries: 

Renaissance Fine Arts in Baltimore, MD, and 

Merritt Gallery in Chevy Chase, MD, and 

Haverford, PA. We are constantly acquiring new 

works, which keeps our walls ever-changing. 

How would you describe your collection? 

Our galleries house one of the largest 

collections of fine art in the Mid-Atlantic 

region. The artwork ranges from traditional 

to contemporary, including original works 

on canvas and paper to sculpture. Our 

Master Works division includes original works 

by Picasso, Matisse, Renoir and Warhol to 

name a few. 

What is the philosophy behind what you do? 

We believe that art can alter your world. 

We bring together a cultivated collection 

of talented artists from near and far. By 

supporting our artists, we allow them to do 

what they love: create art. For our clients, our 

goal is to help build unique collections or find 

pieces that reflect their personality.

HoroscopeSeries 

From ancient times to the present day, the stars in the sky have been used to make sure of past occurrences and 

predict future events. Now, you have the chance to see what the stars have in store for you! Choose your sign 

based on where your birthdate occurs and read what events are in store for your zodiac sign. 

Aries (March 21 - April 21): 

You may need some time to heal and recover from 

a recent life event. This event in question was 

planned to happen, however, the energy demands 

on your psyche may have been too much for you 

at this current time. Make some time for yourself 

and, if you’re feeling up to it, call up an old friend 

to reconnect with them, since they 

will have some words of wisdom 

for you. Eventually, you will 

feel great relief that this 

event did happen, and you 

will be a better person for 

experiencing it. 

Taurus (April 22 - May 21): 

Go ahead and treat yourself! All the hard work 

you have put into a certain area of your life is 

finally starting to have something to show for 

it, whether it’s for a job or a 

relationship. You have shown 

great independence in the 

hard work you have done, 

however, make sure that 

you haven’t alienated 

or pushed away anyone 

while focusing your time 

and talents on reaching your 

goals. 

Gemini (May 22 - June 22): 

You feel very secure at the current time, 

whether it’s material or emotional in the 

matter. Following a set pattern at the current 

time is probably the best course of 

action, since what has worked 

in the past will once again 

work in the future. 

Cancer (June 22 - July 21): 

You recently have made a serious decision 

regarding the direction of your life. This could 

be either regarding relationships, careers, 

education, or family. Now is the time for growth 

and opportunities. Plans have already been put 

into practice, and there’s no turning back now. 

Keep in mind that there may be someone that 

you might need to forgive and 

forget, whether it’s yourself 

or another, in order to fully 

break the ties to the past. 


Leo (July 22 - August 22): 

You have recently have had a difficult loss, whether 

it’s a loved one, the end of a special relationship, 

or an amazing opportunity. This loss can also be 

the shattering of beliefs that you have once held 

close. Carbon needs extreme heat and pressure in 

order to form into a beautiful diamond, 

so after the initial mourning period, 

take this as an opportunity to 

grow and improve. 

Libra (September 21 - October 21): 

You may have some information about yourself 

that you want to keep hidden for now, and for 

good reason. You may also feel that someone is 

withholding key information about a situation 

that you’re in right now. Take some time to 

assess the situation. It may be one of your 

fears that is causing you distress. 

However, consider that you can 

experience great personal 

growth from facing, and 

conquering, your fears. 

Virgo (August 23 - September 21): 

Take care to treat your acquaintances kindly. 

You don’t know which one of them may grow into 

a trustworthy friend. Also, make sure to stay 

connected with close friends of times past. If you 

haven’t seen them in a while, take some time to 

call them up and invite them out. They 

may have some news of a great 

opportunity for you. 

Scorpio (October 21 - November 22): 

Be prepared to stand up for what you believe 

in, since there may be people close to you who 

strongly disagree with your beliefs, and a clash 

may occur soon. You may hold beliefs that go 

against the popular opinions of those that 

surround you. Ask yourself what you truly believe 

in and what you’re willing to fight for. Stay true to 

the beliefs that you are willing to fight for, since 

this will help you develop your 

character and eventually gain 

the respect of those around 

you for being a person of 

their word. 


Sagittarius (November 23 - December 22): 

You are either learning a lot about yourself or 

another right now. Soon, you will learn about 

a characteristic or a skill in either that will be 

of great benefit to your personal development. 

Continue to learn and observe others, 

for you may uncover truths about 

them which may help clearly 

define the relationship that 

you have with them. 

Aquarius (January 20 - February 18): 

Right now, your head and heart may be pulling 

you in opposing directions on a certain issue. 

Remember that with either path you 

take, you alone will be responsible 

for whatever choices you make. 

It’s also important to balance 

the time that you give to 

yourself with the time that you 

give your loved ones. 

Capricorn (December 22 - January 20): 

Remember to count your blessings and think of all 

the small things that make you happy when times 

get tough. It may be an uneasy time for you right 

now, however, you have and will experience great 

luck as of recent. The past may have been much 

harder for you, but with where you are at 

right now, reflect and be thankful 

for the steps that got you into the 

position that you are in right 

now. 

Pisces (February 19 - April 21): 

Now is the time to make your dreams happen! 

You have been dreaming of some great plans 

for a while, and now you will have the time and 

resources to follow through. Make sure that this 

is something that you are very 

passionate about, however, 

since it will require a great 

deal of time and energy.

Final Look 

Memories from the Journey 

Temple St. Clair has always been 

interested in the Silk Road and the cultures 

that were merged from the travels along the 

famous route. Her latest collection is inspired by the art, 

architecture and beliefs carried along the Silk Road. 

The Silk Road was an ancient network of trade routes that connected 

the East and the West. Trade along the route played a significant role in the 

development of many civilizations. 

“Each piece recalls a moment, idea, or location found along the Silk Road. 

Rich gem colors in tsavorite, tanzanite, spessartite and ruby hint at the exotic 

vegetation found in an oasis and reflect the richness of the silks and textiles that 

might be traded there. 

Mysterious shades of spinel from gray blues to violets combined with royal blue 

moonstone are used to echo the pigments used for the Buddhist murals in the 

Mogao caves. 

Spirals, crescent moons and piqued shapes are used as golden details to 

reflect fragments of architecture that might be seen or shapes cast by a 

shadow along the way. 

Shapes and colors represent collected memories from the journey, 

the influence and inspiration that remain with us. A love of 

history, of art, and of travel, is found here just as it was along 

the Silk Road itself.”
