We recently received an email from Ms. Lori Poznansky containing a warm thank you note and pictures of her husband unveiling his surprise gift at their wedding. Although the Corum Golden Bridge is featured in the photos, it is the gorgeous bride that steals the show. Congratulations!
Ms. Poznansky's note reads:
Matt,
Just wanted to say thanks. I was in your store in late June and purchased the Corum Golden Bridge as a gift for my husband on our wedding day, July 4. He was totally taken by surprise and absolutely loved it! Just thought I'd let you know and pass along my thanks again for helping pull together the big surprise.
Lori Poznansky
We would like to reciprocate with our thanks and wish the couple a joyful future together.
Scott Kay Jeweller and Visionary

Now that Matt Baily will be carrying Scott Kay's line of man's jewelry, I have had the opportunity to learn a little more about the man and his company.
Scott Kay is definitely a great innovator in the jewelry business. Originally his claim to fame occurred when he predicted or created the popularity of platinum as a metal used for jewelry. During the 1980s, when platinum was rarely being used for jewelry, Mr. Kay became the metal's biggest advocate. Although new in the industry, and with many of his peers insisting that platinum was too expensive and unpopular, the young jeweller persevered and was instrumental in platinum's new rise to popularity. Since then Scott Kay innovated new forms of gold such as his popular 19 karat gold. He is now creating jewelry using platinum's little brother, palladium.
It seems to me that Scott Kay never contemplated bending his will or his vision. He was the first to advertise bridal jewelry, and a pioneer in the lifestyle method of advertising. No models or celebrities are hired when producing Scott Kay ads. Instead, actors are cast so that they may capture specific emotions.
Scott Kay's production process negates the current industry trend of computerization. At no stage of production is computerized design such as CAD use. As a matter of fact, no computers are allowed in the design departments. Much of the work from conception to finish is done by hand. This is evident from the company's PR material as well as from the feel and look of the jewellery
Going against the grain seems to suit Mr. Kay. He is often pictured in casual clothes and situations. You can also find him at jewelry shows smashing rings with sledge hammers.
Scott Kay jewelry will be available at Matt Baily at the end of August. Visit the official site for more information on the brand.

Circle of Life

The circle is one of nature's most pleasing shapes. Take this perfectly balanced form, re-create it in a precious metal, adorn it with beautifully gleaming diamonds, and you got yourself the classic Circle of Life pendant.
Traditionally the Circle of Life pendant is worn as an elegant accessory with an evening gown or a stylish black dress. Just recently, however, I noticed this style of jewelry worn with a suit. The first instance occured during last Friday night's edition of The National on CBC. The anchor was sporting a Circle of Life Pendant throughout the broadcast. The second was in an episode of 30 Rock, where Sherri Shepherd, who plays Angie on the show was also wearing the pendant. The pendant looks great in a professional setting, because it is simple and delicate.
Matt Baily's Circle of Life pendant is versatile and beautiful, but what makes it a classic is that it also carries meaning. The notion that our lives are part of a massive equilibrium that sustains the entire planet. If you can connect with your jewelry on more then just an aesthetic level, then you will enjoy wearing it even more.
