Make her day with a heart STORY charm for Valentines Day 2014 that shows her your love is endless.
One of the main elements that make up the charm collections from STORY by Kranz and Ziegler is the heart design. STORY has some of the most beautiful heart charms out there, so with Valentine’s Day coming up lets take a look at some charms and bracelet combinations for Valentines Day 2014.
STORY Love at First Sight
Love at First Sight
When you met your sweetheart for the very first time you’ll never forget it. Although the circumstances change across the many stories told from couple to couple the timeless meaning; although cliché at times, is “Love at First Sight”. So, with this button charm available in all three metals; sterling silver, gold plate over sterling, and black rhodium over sterling, it beautifully showcases the love you have for one another. This charm is accented with a tiny crystal, just the right touch to your STORY bracelet.
STORY Harlequin Heart & Pink Bracelet
Harlequin Heart
Next up is the Harlequin Heart charm. This one was released in the new Winter 2013 collection and was an instant classic. A dangle charm by style with clear crystal detail that forms the harlequin pattern around the charm. It has a uniquely STORY pattern and style; which is just as unique as the person wearing it. This one is available in Sterling Silver so if the person you are giving this charm already has Sterling Silver charms on her bracelet, it would look stunning. Definitely one of the more popular charms in the collection, and rightfully so. With its unique style and flair it, she will love it.
STORY Full Heart
Full Heart
This is one of the original pieces for STORY, and as more collections were released additional colors and metals were introduced. This piece has brilliant AAA CZ crystal pave around the entire charm. A real showstopper. If she likes her sparkle than this is definitely the piece to go with, cast in sterling silver and three more combinations one of which is really Valentine’s Day-esque. When this charm is on her bracelet it will remind her that your love is pure and always with her no matter where she goes.

Starting the year off with a few new things on the blog. This is a first of some of new features we will be doing throughout the year. About once a week, we’ll highlight a product from the shop and go in-depth to learn all about that particular item. First up in this new Product Spotlight section is the Ocean Drop Necklace. At Landing Company we are always on the lookout for interesting and unique pieces, and this one of them.
Unique & nautical…
There is something inherently natural with the ocean drop necklace. It is not quite nautical, but it is definitely not in the classic sterling category either. It sits somewhere in between. Which is exactly what we wanted. We had some really nice starfish and other sea life motifs in the seaside collection, so when we set out to design a new item we wanted it to be different from what was already in the collection. After curating hundreds of items we finally had found what we were looking for. The ocean drop necklace.
All about it.
Ocean Drop Necklace by Landing Company
Introduced in the middle of 2013, and has been a hit with our customers through the shop ever since. The piece is concave on the back and is completely finished with sterling silver and hallmarked with LC for Landing Company and .925. One the front it has Created Blue Opal inlaid in sterling and designed in a wave pattern. Created blue opal has a mosaic pattern with blues, and greens with just the right amount of shimmer. Just like the sun hits the water while your by the shore. Because of these properties the blue opal makes the perfect material for the Ocean Drop Necklace.
A piece of the ocean.
A reminder of your time spent by the shore.
Most of the sterling silver necklaces are shown with a sterling silver box link chain. It is a beautiful classic chain and comes with a round lobster clasp. This chain looks really good with the built-in round bail of the ocean drop necklace so it will the pendant will not independently move from the bail. This provides a more contoured and modern look to the piece.
If you are looking for something to wear while you’re at the beach or remember those warm day spent near water the Ocean Drop Necklace is a really nice choice. Shop for your necklace right here.

This is the time of the year when New Year’s resolutions are made, things start getting back to “normal” from the holidays, and folks head south for some good ole’ Florida sunshine. So, over the next few weeks we are going to be previewing our latest collections for Resort 2014 and some transitional Spring 2014 styles too.
We wanted to bring some of the best colors of the season to warm things up with a blend of corals, orchid purples, cool greys, and mint in statement necklaces, and earrings. Also, keeping up with our speciality, brand new nautical jewelry items are introduced in this collection as well.
[quote]”Statement necklaces gives you a great opportunity to layer and add some color in the latest shades.”[/quote]
Let’s take a look at some of my favorite pieces that we just got in.
Larimar is very hard to procure when you are looking for the best, but every so often we see exceptional stone quality and that is what makes it into the collections at Landing Company. At the end of the day, it all comes down to stone quality.
In these two new collections, Radiant and Vineyard, the stone quality is superb and the designs are a welcomed addition to the existing collections.
Radiant Collection
Radiant Collection Featuring Larimar
Larimar by itself is a beautiful stone and really doesn’t need much ornamentation or decoration. But, when it came time to design and curate new items it seemed that a little touch of sparkle was needed. So, throughout the five brand new necklaces in the Radiant Larimar Collection by Landing Company you will see hand set clear cubic zirconias adorn the surrounding larimar stones, which gives a perfect compliment and really highlights the central piece of Larimar. In classic shapes such as tear drop and oval these new designs look simply radiant for those special occasions and dinner events.
The Radiant Collection is inspired by a clear night sky overlooking the Gulf of Mexico. Every so often you’ll see a shooting star, or just the simplicity of being in the moment when looking at the moon on the water and twinkle of stars you’ll know you are in paradise. That is what we wanted to infuse in this collection.
Vineyard Collection
Vineyard Collection Featuring Larimar by Landing Company
Like a walk through an enchanted garden near the sea, the Vineyard Collection combines sterling silver vine elements with floral designs that surround and weave through the three pieces in the collection. It reminds us of the vines from the old northeast homes and gardens that provide a lush green backdrop and an air of enchantment and wonder. With these coastal cottages being so close to the sea these Larimar pieces feel right at home.
Back in the Spring we tried out a few new Mother of Pearl Rings in the store and you guys loved them. So, when it came time to introduce some new things for the Resort and Spring 2014 seasons we definitely wanted to include some of these in the collection.
With Christmas just days away I think these make great gifts. The person receiving one of the rings can wear it after all the holiday festivities are over with, and since these just arrived you are getting the latest from Landing Company. These rings are a perfect compliment to those upcoming resort plans so if you are planning for a cruise or somewhere to warm up for the winter this is a great choice.

We did 3 styles this time around, each with very little overlap in style. The same high quality Mother of Pearl shell in each, and cast in brass with a rhodium plating. These cocktail rings come in a statement square style, oval with clear cz, and a petite bar style ring. When it comes to fashion jewelry these are very well made and the Mother of Pearl is stunning. To learn more and shop click here.
You spoke, we listened.
The designer look necklaces have also been a hit, these 5 new arrivals are the latest addition to the group. Once again only the best quality fashion jewelry materials were used and the styles definitely leave a statement.
Inspired Style Collection by Landing Company
First up are the 3 new necklaces. They all come on a oxidized box link chain in rhodium over brass, and are available in three distinct styles. One has a golden toned hammered look, the other features mother of pearl, and the last one has top quality clear CZ for some added sparkle.
The inspired style earrings are a stud, and a dangle stud style earrings. Both are made from the same materials as the necklaces above, and are really classy for just $24.99.
That’s all I have for you this time around. Just wanted to give you a quick update on some of the newest additions to the fashion jewelry collection. And please stay tuned to the blog as we are going to be previewing most of Resort and Pre-Spring 2014 collection in the next several weeks.
Top 3 Jewelry Christmas Gift Ideas for Men from Landing Company
What do you do for the guy who has it all?
The weather is frightful (except in Florida), Christmas Carols has been playing non stop since Halloween, Santa Claus has been confirmed as a fan of Mercedes Benz by those crazy amount of TV commercials, and soon visions of sugarplums will be dancing across the dreams of little ones across the land.
But… STOP THE PRESSES!
You can’t forget that special guy in your life. So, before ole’ Saint Nick shimmies his bag of goodies down the chimney you can surprise your father, brother, son, boyfriend, or husband with a handsome piece of Men’s Jewelry from Landing Company.
There are three options to go here.
They are the most requested choices from our customers and are my go-to recommendations when someone asks…
[quote]”What do you have for the guys?”[/quote]
But, before I get into the full recommendations I want to be perfectly clear, this is the 2013 Edition. Meaning it is completely current for this year’s Christmas season. Which means the content in this article is the most timely and up do date information I have. It could change or it could NOT change either way I will let you know next year with a brand new edition. But, right now this is good to go for this year so let’s dig right in to the three things you can’t get at the Apple Store.
Recommendation #1: Men’s Jewelry by Aagaard
Aagaard Mens Jewelry
Originating in Denmark, Aagaard Men’s Jewelry combines stainless steel and premium leather for a very unique combination. There are over 100 links that you can buy to customize your bracelet. Some prefer to wear it plain, however the real magic happens when you craft your own unique mixture of high quality stainless steel links that slip right onto the bracelet for a look that is as unique as the person your buying it for. The color of the links are available in the all new gunmetal color, blue, silver, gold, brown, and black with dozens of different styles in each color category.
If you didn’t want to customize it, don’t worry. Our expert team at Landing Company has put together some of the best selling design combinations through our physical retail location and have made these available online for your buying pleasure. These curated bracelets feature 1, 3, or 5 links on either Brown or Black bracelets. We have taken all of the guess work out of it, just pick the size and add to cart. Done. Check a name off your list.
A little helpful hint on sizing, the bracelets come in small, medium, and large. 80% of the the time the medium works great, but, if you are buying for someone that you know has a really small, or really large wrist then go with the small or large instead. Plus, it is easy to get the bracelet on and off using the magnetic assist-to-close feature that screws on tight afterward so it won’t fall off. Each link is held in place using black silicon stoppers so the links will not move around on the bracelet. Setup the combination the way you like and keep it that way.
These Aagaard Bracelets are a perfect gift for the modern man and I think it is a great accessory to wear everyday. Whether he is going to work, the coffee shop down the road, or a wedding this bracelet is a modern men’s accessory he can wear anywhere.
Back in the day Men’s Jewelry consisted of a few Crosses, and a select chain or two. Flash forward to today and stainless steel is seen as a growing segment in the jewelry world and we have brought you the best Stainless Steel Men’s Jewelry on the market today. With revolutionary new styles that have taken Men’s Jewelry to a whole new level.
Even as you look at the showcases across many large jewelry companies you will still see Men’s Jewelry as being an afterthought. So, last year at Landing Company when we first introduced our men’s collections we wanted to do it right.
Not only is each piece expertly designed, it is also made from the best materials and finishes on the planet and we have the selection to back up the promise we made to ourselves a year ago. Brand new designs are being introduced all the time, and we never stop innovating. One of my favorites is the Ship Cable Collection that pays homage to the fishing elements of the area where the shop is located (Madeira Beach) but it also brings a level of distinction that is found on many of the other pieces in the collection. I cannot stress the importance of quality materials in Stainless Steel Jewelry, because one of the benefits of stainless is ease of wear and longevity. When you pick up a chain or pendant in person you can just feel the weight and build of the piece. With the right amount of care the person that receives it will enjoy it for years to come.
In addition to the classic shapes and designs, you should check out the entire selection of rings, necklaces, and bracelets. You know who you are shopping for the best, and whether it is a Celtic Cross Pendant with Oxidized Wheat chain, or Sovereign Steel Collection you are definitely going to want to check out the entire range of Stainless Steel Jewelry by Landing Company because words simply cannot do these pieces justice. Now, let’s experience the island lifestyle with…
#3 Koa Wood Rings
Koa Wood Rings
This is one of the best things that happened this year for the store. Picture this for a moment…
The sway of the palm trees, the sound of a shorebreaking wave, a warm breeze on your face, and a island cocktail in your hand. This is a where these rings are expertly crafted amongst the lush tropical landscapes in the islands of Hawaii. Alamea Koa Wood Rings are forged in Titanium and it allows the wearer to bring a sustainable piece of luxury along with them on their journey.
Made from titanium,lightweight by its very molecular nature and the rings are molded with a comfort fit band for exceptional wearability and comfort. The person you are buying it for will barely know its even on… it’s that comfortable. In addition to Koa Wood, there are several other types of exotic wood like the reddish-brown color of Cocobolo, and light Tulip wood so there are many options for you to choose from.
The classic 8mm band is my go-to style when recommending a ring to a customer. No matter which exotic wood you choose it showcases it perfectly and it looks great on many different hand and finger sizes.
As far as rings go, these are simply some of the best. There are several designs in each of the different wood types. Great for that person in your life that enjoys the outdoors and an adventure. An Exotic Wood Ring will keep him grounded and allows him to bring a piece of the islands along for the ride. Shop the entire collection of Koa Wood Rings, and if you have any questions at all just contact us and will be glad to help answer any product related inquiries you might have.
In conclusion…
Well, that will do it for this year’s holiday round up of the top 3 jewelry Christmas gift ideas for men. I hope this will find you well and you have a very special holiday season amongst friends and family. Landing Company brings in only the best jewelry for men and the person you will be buying for is very lucky to have a person like you in his life.
