Steinway & Sons launched the Steinway Star men’s jewelry collection today in Manhattan. It the latest “lifestyle” venture for the 150 year old company that has made recent forays into the clothing and accessories business. I was a bit scepticle at first, but I can actually see the appeal for refined gentlemen who love the arts.

They are actually kind of cool if you can pull them off!

Bear Grylls wears a Breitling Emergency watch on his Discovery Channel’s show Man VS. Wild. We have been asked about his wristwatch so much I decided to do a blog about it.

You can usually find Bear anywhere in the world at any given time. From the Everglades to Iceland, Bear shows you how to survive in any environment. I used to have a fear of quicksand and in one of the episodes, Bear shows you how to get out of it. Not that I run into quicksand very often here is Fort Lauderdale, but you never know!

Being in the heart of the wedding season, I wanted to showcase some VERY chic wedding bands created by Scott Kay. Scott has been on the cutting edge in the bridal industry since his start in 1984. He is best known for revitalizing the use of Platinum in fine jewelry. Scott Kay’s designs range from classic to innovative and always chic, just like the wedding bands shown here.

The reason I love these bands is the fact that the matching gents band has diamond accents without being over done. A lot of men are starting to realize that wearing diamonds is not just for the ladies.
