Join Us for Our Annual Estate Jewelry Event in Davenport, IA!

Lovers of timeless elegance, save the date — our highly anticipated Estate Event returns Friday, August 21st and Saturday, August 22nd.

Join us at our Davenport location for The Gilded Vault: Estate Jewelry Exhibition, a limited-time opportunity to explore an extraordinary collection of estate jewelry filled with history, artistry, and unforgettable craftsmanship.

This year’s showcase will once again feature millions of dollars’ worth of estate pieces from All Facets Gemological Corp, a premier New York-based firm known for its beautifully curated vintage collections.

We’re also honored to welcome John Angelo, owner of All Facets Gemological Corp. and a seasoned estate jewelry expert with decades of experience. His collection includes remarkable pieces from iconic design periods, including the Victorian, Edwardian, Art Nouveau, Art Deco, and Retro Modern eras. John Angelo will be in-store both days to share his expertise, answer questions, and help guests discover the stories behind these one-of-a-kind treasures.

Explore the Eras of Estate Jewelry

From romantic antique details to bold, modern design, this special exhibition will feature pieces from some of the most iconic periods in jewelry history:

Victorian Era
Romantic, symbolic, and full of meaning, Victorian Era jewelry reflects the beauty and sentiment of the 19th century. Spanning Queen Victoria’s reign from 1837 to 1901, this era embraced intricate metalwork, nature-inspired motifs, and deeply personal designs that often celebrated love, remembrance, and devotion. From delicate florals to ornate details, Victorian pieces continue to captivate with their history, craftsmanship, and timeless charm.

Edwardian Era
Graceful, refined, and beautifully delicate, Edwardian Era jewelry reflects the elegance of the early 1900s. Popular during the reign of King Edward VII, this period is known for lace-like metalwork, airy designs, and sophisticated details that often feel light, feminine, and timeless. With its romantic style and fine craftsmanship, Edwardian jewelry continues to be admired for its effortless elegance.

Art Nouveau Era
Artistic, flowing, and inspired by the natural world, Art Nouveau jewelry brought a dreamy new style to the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Designs from this era often feature soft curves, florals, vines, insects, and feminine forms, creating pieces that feel more like wearable works of art. Known for its creativity and movement, Art Nouveau jewelry remains one of the most distinctive and enchanting styles in estate jewelry.

Art Deco Era
Bold, glamorous, and unmistakably stylish, Art Deco jewelry captures the energy of the 1920s and 1930s. Known for geometric shapes, strong lines, symmetry, and striking contrast, this era embraced modern design with a luxurious edge. From dazzling statement pieces to sleek, architectural details, Art Deco jewelry continues to feel sophisticated, iconic, and effortlessly chic.

Retro Modern Era
Confident, sculptural, and full of personality, Retro Modern jewelry reflects the style of the 1940s and post-war era. Designs from this period often feature bold silhouettes, polished gold tones, sweeping curves, and statement-making forms. With its glamorous mid-century feel, Retro Modern jewelry brings warmth, drama, and vintage charm to any collection.

Don’t miss this rare opportunity to view and shop from an extraordinary selection of jewelry that tells a story.

Plus, when you make and keep your personal appointment you are entered to win a vintage ring from the curated estate collection!

Jewelry isn’t just for women anymore—men’s accessories have taken center stage in 2025, with bold statement pieces becoming essential to personal style. Whether it’s sleek metal bracelets or symbolic necklaces, men’s jewelry has evolved into a powerful fashion tool. From understated chains to rugged leather pieces, men’s jewelry is redefining masculinity and style this year. Gone are the days of simple watches as the only go-to accessory—now, necklaces, bracelets, and rings are making bold statements. Let’s dive into the must-have trends reshaping men’s fashion.

1. Layering Necklace

Layering necklaces of varying lengths and styles has emerged as a popular trend among men. This approach combines pendants, chains, and beads to create a unique, textured look that reflects personal style. It’s a subtle way to express individuality and creativity, striking the perfect balance between understated and eye-catching. Plus, this versatile trend seamlessly complements both casual and formal attire.

2. Chunky Chains

Thick, oversized chains, especially in gold or silver, are having a moment in men’s fashion. These chains can be worn as standalone statement pieces or layered with other accessories. Inspired by streetwear and hip-hop culture, chunky chains give a bold, confident look and are perfect for making a statement.

3. Signet Ring Styles

The classic signet ring has made a major comeback, with modern twists like minimalist designs or engraved patterns. Signet rings can be customized with personal initials, family crests, or symbols. Traditionally a symbol of status and heritage, signet rings now offer a sophisticated way for men to add a personalized touch to their jewelry collection.

4. Minimalist Bracelets

Sleek, understated bracelets made from materials like leather, stainless steel, or beaded designs are popular for everyday wear. Cuff bracelets or simple chain designs are also trending. Minimalist bracelets add a subtle yet polished touch to any outfit, making them a versatile accessory for men who want to keep it simple but stylish.

5. Pearl Jewelry

Once regarded as a staple for women, pearls are now making a bold statement in men’s jewelry. Men are increasingly embracing pearls in necklaces, bracelets, and even earrings, infusing their looks with sophistication and a distinctive, non-traditional flair. Influential figures like Harry Styles and A$AP Rocky have championed this trend, proving that pearls can be both stylish and masculine.

6. Stacking Rings

Similar to necklace layering, stacking multiple rings on the same or different fingers is a growing trend. Mixing metals, textures, and sizes is key to creating a modern, edgy look. Stacking rings gives men the freedom to play with their style, offering a bold, expressive way to wear rings without limiting themselves to a single statement piece.

7. Earrings

Earrings, particularly studs and small hoops, have become mainstream for men. From simple silver or gold studs to diamond-encrusted designs, earrings are no longer considered exclusively feminine. Earrings offer men a subtle yet impactful way to experiment with jewelry. The trend has been embraced by fashion-forward men who are comfortable breaking traditional gender norms in fashion.

8. Beaded Jewelry

Beaded bracelets and necklaces, often made with natural stones like onyx, tiger’s eye, or lava beads, are a popular choice for men seeking a more earthy, casual look. Beaded jewelry provides a laid-back vibe that can still feel stylish and sophisticated. It’s also a way for men to incorporate meaning through gemstones or materials that hold personal significance.

9. Mixed Metals

Mixed metals have become popular with men because they offer versatility and a modern edge to their style. By blending different metal tones, such as gold, silver, and black stainless steel, men can create unique, bold looks that complement a wide range of outfits and occasions. The trend also allows for personalization, as it breaks the traditional uniformity of single-tone jewelry, making it easier to express individuality. Plus, mixed metals can transition seamlessly between casual and formal attire, adding depth to a man’s accessory game.

10. Statement Pieces

Men are embracing bold statement jewelry, including oversized rings, large pendant necklaces, or attention-grabbing cuff bracelets. These pieces often feature intricate designs, gemstones, or unique shapes. Statement jewelry allows men to showcase their personality and make a bold impression. It’s perfect for those who want to stand out and aren’t afraid to take risks with their fashion choices.

11. Sustainable and Ethical Jewelry

As awareness around sustainability grows, there’s increasing demand for ethical and eco-friendly men’s jewelry. This includes recycled metals & conflict-free diamonds that give back to various organizations and charities globally. Men are becoming more conscious consumers, seeking brands that align with their values. Sustainable jewelry offers a way to look good while being mindful of the environmental and social impact.

12. Customized and Personalized Jewelry

Custom pieces that include engraved initials, dates, or personal symbols are becoming more popular. Whether it’s a bracelet with a hidden message or a ring with a significant date, personalized jewelry adds a meaningful touch. Men are increasingly seeking jewelry that tells a story or holds sentimental value, making custom and personalized options appealing for those who want something truly unique.

Visit us HERE for all your customized jewelry needs!

13. Nature-Inspired Designs

Jewelry with designs inspired by nature—like leaves, animals, or natural patterns—has been gaining traction. These pieces often use organic shapes and textures, drawing from the natural world. Nature-inspired jewelry connects the wearer to the environment and reflects a desire for authenticity and grounding.

In summary, men’s jewelry is evolving into a more diverse and expressive realm, transcending traditional pieces to encompass everything from bold statement items to sleek minimalist designs. This transformation empowers men to personalize their style, showcase their individuality, and creatively integrate jewelry into their everyday wardrobe.

In the competitive world of luxury watches, Swiss brands have long dominated the conversation. However, over the past decade, a new player has emerged, redefining what it means to deliver luxury without breaking the bank. Enter Shinola, the Detroit-based watchmaker that has carved out a unique space in the global watch market. By blending American craftsmanship, timeless design, and a focus on accessibility, Shinola has become a standout brand offering affordable luxury.

1. Craftsmanship Meets Accessibility

Luxury watches are often associated with sky-high prices, driven by hand-assembled components, premium materials, and brand heritage. Shinola embraces the ethos of craftsmanship but reimagines it for a broader audience. By assembling their watches in Detroit and using Swiss or imported parts, Shinola delivers high-quality timepieces without the astronomical price tags.

Focus on Assembly: While movements and components are sourced internationally, the watches are hand-assembled in the U.S., ensuring rigorous quality control and contributing to their accessible pricing.

Key Feature: Shinola’s watches typically range from $500 to $1,500, offering luxury quality at a fraction of the cost of traditional high-end brands.

2. Timeless, Versatile Designs

Shinola’s aesthetic strikes a balance between classic and modern, making their watches appealing to a wide audience. Collections like the Runwell and Canfield feature minimalist dials, clean lines, and durable materials that fit seamlessly into everyday life or formal occasions.

Standout Appeal: Their design ethos allows Shinola to compete with Swiss brands while staying true to their American identity.

Why It Works: Shinola avoids overly complicated designs, instead focusing on versatility and understated elegance.

3. Leveraging Detroit’s Spirit

A key part of Shinola’s competitive edge lies in its Detroit roots. The brand markets itself as more than a watchmaker—it’s a symbol of resilience, craftsmanship, and the rebirth of American manufacturing. By connecting their products to the story of Detroit’s revival, Shinola adds emotional value that resonates with customers.

Emotional Appeal: Consumers aren’t just buying a watch—they’re supporting a movement.

Brand Storytelling: The “Built in Detroit” tagline has become synonymous with Shinola’s mission to create jobs and foster community.

4. Competing Through Differentiation

Shinola differentiates itself from traditional luxury brands by focusing on accessible luxury and lifestyle integration. While Swiss brands emphasize horological complexity and heritage, Shinola appeals to a modern audience that values design, functionality, and affordability.

Lifestyle Focus: Beyond watches, Shinola offers leather goods, bicycles, and even home products, positioning itself as a lifestyle brand rather than just a watchmaker.

Quartz vs. Automatic: Shinola primarily uses quartz movements, which are less expensive than mechanical ones, allowing the brand to maintain accessible price points while ensuring precision.

5. Quality Without the Compromise

Affordable doesn’t mean cutting corners. Shinola ensures durability and quality by using premium materials such as:

Reliable Movements: Collaborations with Swiss suppliers like Ronda AG ensure precision and reliability.

Sapphire Crystals: Scratch-resistant and found in high-end timepieces.

Premium Leathers: Sourced from Horween Leather Co., adding a luxurious feel to their straps.

6. Competing Globally

While Shinola’s watches are assembled in the U.S., their quality standards and design language allow them to compete with global brands. By delivering timeless style and practicality, Shinola has managed to hold its own against both mid-range brands like Tissot and luxury giants like TAG Heuer.

Sustainability Focus: Shinola’s commitment to local manufacturing resonates with conscious consumers looking for ethical alternatives to traditional luxury.

Global Recognition: Shinola’s reputation as an American brand with international appeal has helped it grow a loyal customer base worldwide.

7. Affordable Luxury for a New Generation

Shinola’s approach appeals to younger generations who value experiences and stories over sheer opulence. These consumers appreciate the idea of “luxury within reach” and are drawn to brands with authenticity and a meaningful mission.

Cultural Relevance: Shinola taps into the growing trend of buying products that reflect values such as sustainability, craftsmanship, and community support.

Accessible Price Points: Shinola bridges the gap between affordability and luxury, making it a popular choice for first-time buyers or those seeking high-quality, everyday watches.

8. The Future of Affordable Luxury

Shinola’s success proves that the luxury watch market isn’t just about exclusivity—it’s about delivering value, craftsmanship, and a story. By embracing affordability without sacrificing quality, Shinola has created a blueprint for competing in the global market while staying true to its roots.

Final Thoughts

Shinola has redefined the concept of affordable luxury, offering timepieces that balance quality, design, and price. By combining American craftsmanship with global appeal, Shinola continues to stand out in a crowded market, proving that luxury doesn’t have to cost a fortune. Whether you’re a seasoned watch enthusiast or buying your first timepiece, Shinola offers a compelling option that delivers both style and substance. Better yet? This brand is located within our own Necker’s Jewelers storefront in DeWitt.

When it comes to choosing a watch, one of the first decisions you’ll encounter is whether to go for an automatic or a quartz movement. While both types serve the same purpose—keeping time—they do so in dramatically different ways. Understanding these differences can help you decide which style best suits your needs, personality, and lifestyle.

1. The Basics of Quartz Watches

Quartz watches revolutionized the watch industry in the 1960s and 70s, thanks to their remarkable accuracy and affordability. Here’s how they work:

How It Works: Quartz watches are powered by a battery that sends an electric current through a quartz crystal. This causes the crystal to vibrate at a consistent frequency, driving the watch hands with precision.

Ideal For: People who want a fuss-free, highly accurate, and budget-friendly timepiece.

Key Characteristics:

Accuracy: Quartz watches are incredibly accurate, often losing or gaining only a few seconds per month.

Low Maintenance: Battery replacements are typically needed every 1–3 years.

Affordable: They are usually less expensive to manufacture, making them a cost-effective option.

Lightweight: Quartz watches tend to be lighter and slimmer compared to their automatic counterparts.

2. The Magic of Automatic Watches

Automatic watches, also known as self-winding watches, are a nod to traditional craftsmanship and mechanical engineering.

Ideal For: Enthusiasts who appreciate traditional watchmaking, craftsmanship, and the art of mechanical timekeeping.

Key Characteristics:

How It Works: An automatic watch uses the movement of your wrist to wind its mainspring, which powers the watch. This energy is then released in a controlled manner, driving the watch hands.

Craftsmanship: Automatic watches are marvels of mechanical engineering, often showcasing intricate designs and movements.

No Battery: They rely on kinetic energy, eliminating the need for battery replacements.

Power Reserve: Most automatics can run for 24–80 hours without being worn, depending on the model.

Heirloom Quality: With proper care, they can last a lifetime and beyond, making them great keepsakes.

Maintenance: They require periodic servicing (usually every 3–5 years) to ensure optimal performance.

3. Comparing the Two

FeatureQuartzAutomatic
AccuracyHighly accurateSlightly less accurate
Power SourceBatteryKinetic energy from movement
MaintenanceMinimal (battery changes)Regular servicing required
CostGenerally more affordableTypically more expensive
LongevityCan last decades with careCan last generations
Style AppealFunctional and sleekClassic and intricate

4. Which One Should You Choose?

  • Quartz is perfect for:
    • Individuals seeking a reliable, low-maintenance timepiece for daily use.
    • Those on a budget who still want a stylish and accurate watch.
    • Active lifestyles, as quartz watches can be more durable and lightweight.
  • Automatic is perfect for:
    • Watch enthusiasts who value craftsmanship and mechanical ingenuity.
    • Those looking for a timeless piece that can become a family heirloom.
    • People who enjoy the ritual of wearing and winding their watch.

5. The Best of Both Worlds

If you can’t decide, there’s always the option of owning one of each! Quartz watches are excellent for casual, everyday wear, while automatic watches make a statement for formal occasions or moments when you want to showcase timeless elegance.

Shop all available styles HERE

Final Thoughts

The choice between automatic and quartz ultimately boils down to your priorities and preferences. Are you looking for a practical and precise companion, or do you desire a piece of art that ticks with the heartbeat of traditional craftsmanship? Whatever your choice, both types offer their own unique charm, ensuring there’s a perfect watch out there for everyone.
