House of REPOSSI
Comes to Palm Beach

Repossi:  Direct from Place Vendôme to Worth Avenue

Long coveted and collected by international clientele and European royals including designation as the Official Purveyor of H.R.H the Prince Rainier III of Monaco, the House of Repossi is coming to Palm Beach for the first time with a destination on Worth Avenue.  Hamilton Jewelers has announced an exclusive relationship with Repossi.  The 97-year-old jewelry house has developed a reputation for daring designs and a quasi-architectural approach to fine jewelry.  The exquisite pieces are coming to Palm Beach direct from Place Vendôme in Paris.

“Repossi selected Palm Beach’s Worth Avenue due to the destination’s reputation for attracting a discriminating clientele who select items with a nod to enduring quality,” says Mathieu Cheyrouze, International Director of Repossi.  “Repossi began as a family enterprise so the importance of partnership with another family business led the brand to form a relationship with Hamilton Jewelers.”

The House of Repossi was founded in 1920 in Turin, Italy and continues the creative family legacy of talented artists and designers extended from father to son, and later from father to daughter.  Gaia Repossi chose an artistic path first, far from the conventional jewelry tradition. At 21, she was appointed Creative Director of the brand, creating a radical new direction in the collections and challenging the historical ateliers with groundbreaking new designs.

Quasi-Architectural: Cutting Edge Design with a Feminine Touch

Blending and pushing the boundaries between architecture and traditional high jewelry techniques, Gaia’s designs are characterized by modern, minimalist motifs and the use of complex patterns.  In 2010, she launched the Berbère Collection that would become a groundbreaking hit for the House of Repossi, establishing it as an influential presence within the fashion industry and the high jewelry world. Gaia continues to evolve and set trends with each collection, giving impulse to a new generation in search of change and tradition at the same time.

Repossi offers bestselling jewelry pieces from collections such as Berbère, Serti Sur Vide, and Antifer. Specialties include engagement and wedding rings, as well as rare one-of-a-kind diamond solitaires. Repossi CEO, Benjamin Comar, and International Director, Mathieu Cheyrouze, will be making personal visits to Hamilton Jewelers to establish the brand’s introduction to Palm Beach.

Hamilton is a 3rd generation firm with locations in Palm Beach and Princeton, NJ.  For more information, visit www.hamiltonjewelers.com.

Best and Biggest STONE CRABS
at Meat Market Palm Beach

When it comes to Stone Crabs, Bigger is always Better….

Every year, the return of the Stone Crabs marks the beginning of the Palm Beach season. Hurricane Irma wasn’t able to stop the festivities at Meat Market Palm Beach. Their stone crabs’ over the charts-sized claws are perfectly cracked. As a result, this allows seafood lovers to savor generous bites of the succulent meat without shell interruption. On Tuesdays, pair this delicacy with your favorite bottle of Sauvignon Blanc or Champagne at half price.

Wine Tuesdays extended through the season

Due to so many wine connoisseurs returning to their winter homes, Meat Market is extending Wine Tuesdays for the duration of the season. A selection of wines from Meat Market’s extensive wine cellar will be offered at half price. Whether you opt for ordering plump oysters and monster-size shrimp at the bar during Happy Hour, or my favorite–a Tomahawk to share in the dining room, Sommelier Jonathan Negrin will suggest the perfect complement to your choice.
