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.

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.
Around here, Created Blue Opal Jewelry in our Seaside Collection has been one of the mainstays. It features wonderful starfish and other sea life designs. The vivid blues and whites in the mosaic opal contrasted with sterling silver creates a beautiful combination that our customers love to wear season after season.
So, when it came time to start designing and curating some brand new items for the Resort and Spring seasons we decided to keep it in the family…
Introducing the all new Created Opal Jewelry Collection from Landing Company.
It features timeless designs utilizing this same Blue and White Mosaic Opal that you can’t get enough of. There are a few bracelets in the range, but the majority of the collection is in rings, necklaces, and earrings. Many are available in sets too, with the necklaces matching the earrings or vice versa.
Created Blue Opal Rings
We are really happy on how these turned out. Featuring precise cuts of Mosaic Opal with Tanzanite or Amethyst color CZ. Some have clear CZ for an added detail that really shines. All come sized and are packaged with Landing Company signature gift boxes to be right ready to give.
Created Blue Opal Necklaces
Many of these same comments apply to the earrings too. With these designs we wanted to put the focus on the Mosaic Opal so, simple and timeless shapes are present. There are a few pieces in the collection to jazz things up because life with everything the same is just so boring. These fun and interesting elements really add to the feeling behind this entire Created Blue and White Opal Collection.
Blue Opal Necklaces
Sizing is important. That’s why we took great care in making sure each item is perfectly shaped and designed so it would wear just right. Also, with the entire collection made from 100% genuine sterling silver it is covered under the Landing Company Sterling Silver Jewelry Guarantee and it is acceptable to wear everyday.
One of the things we kept in mind is that many of the designs in the collection can be worn when you are away from the beach. With classic shapes like squares, hearts, circles, and ovals as well as entirely new patterns and designs for your wearing pleasure. You are sure to get many compliments.
Created Blue and White Opal Jewelry by Landing Company
We have done Mosaic Opal in the white for many seasons now, but this time around we are seeing the white color make a presence in many collections from fashion designers across the world for the upcoming Spring and Summer seasons. Which makes the time for this introductory collection perfect, especially if you plan to escape the colder weather and head south to warm up a bit. Order a piece from this Created Blue and White Mosaic Opal Collection to wear when you arrive at your destination. You’ll be glad you did.
There are a few items that came in this week… Meet the new collection of Faith Jewelry by Landing Company. These brand new designs feature sideways crosses in classic sterling silver.
I think that if you are going to wear something from time to time then fashion jewelry is perfect. There are a lot more styles available and it lets you keep up with the latest looks from the world of fashion. At Landing Company we have many jewelry choices in this category and it is updated all the time. So, keep checking back with us.
However, if you want to have something for a long time, or you want to wear it everyday then I highly recommend sterling silver. We have a lot of styles in sterling as well, and the color of this classic metal goes great with everything.
Keeping that in mind this new Faith Jewelry Collection is entirely made up of sterling silver and some feature clear CZs for an added detail.
There are two things that merged recently….
One is that “sideways” anything is really popular. I think it all started when a few designers during Fashion Week up in NYC introduced it several years ago and it has been making the rounds every since.
The second is that Crosses are really big right now. People want to express the wholesome meaning behind Christianity. So, as these two things are trending we wanted to showcase them in our Faith Jewelry by Landing Company.
These pieces make great gifts especially now with the Holidays coming up.
But honestly, I think these items are here to stay for a while so if you are shopping for a special occasion coming up or simply shopping around for a “just because gift” these new pieces are perfect.
Sideways Cross Rings in Sterling Silver from Landing Company
The sideways cross rings are available in sizes 5 through 9 and in two options. One is plain sterling, and the other has tiny CZs set in the cross. It just depends on how much sparkle you like.
Sideways Cross Faith Necklace from Landing Company
Another item in the collection is the sideways cross necklace. It comes with a 16″ cable chain + 2″ extender and is available in sterling silver.
One more thing…
The Faith Hope Love Ring is a customer favorite. Lauded for its interchangeability because you can wear it naturally as a ring; or add a chain and it can be worn as a necklace. We have this displayed in the shop right now like this and it looks great. The words are slightly carved into the piece and the oxidation of the letters is permanent so it will look great for a long time.
As always you can check out these items in the shop. Also, if you have a question contact support or leave feedback in the comment section below.
