My Dear Friends,

It's been just over 3 months since Israel began locking down to limit the spread of Corona. This week announced the easing some of the restrictions. Malls and beaches have begun reopening and even schools have begun resuming classes. I am hopeful that we are on the road to "normal". While I'm happy (and optimistic) the transitions have been challenging - but yet rewarding!

School

My boys have been home from school for nearly 3 months! They not only missed their friends, they also missed their extra curricular activities such as soccer and baseball! Believe it or not, they missed school too...well not really!! Schools all over the world also "learned" to change their style and with ZOOM my kids had daily lessons, and plenty of homework! 

Family

We have made a concerted effort to have a weekly zoom chat, which actually brought even the extended family a bit closer! It's not as wonderful as our weekly dinner, but we connected and are grateful for technology. 

Extended Family

For my wife Sherly, her family is in Italy, and it's been about 3 months since she has been able to see them (in person). Unfortunately, her uncle, and some close family friends have passed away from complications due to Covid-19, which left her with constant fear and worry for her parents and elderly grandparents. She is praying that everyone has a speedy recovery.

What about me?  

For someone who is used living in airports and airplanes, it's unusual to be grounded for such a long time! And it's been AMAZING! I've spent hours on puzzles and other indoor activities with my family, we've been cooking and doing so many activities together. But what's really become evident is the ability to really get my creative juices flowing! In time for Father's Day (June 21) I'm proud to launch our new Men's Collection! 

I am so excited to present necklaces, bracelets and even rings, with  BOLD, and masculine lines! I think you're going to love our braided leather bracelets!
 

What's been happening the State (or country) where you are living? Have the restrictions begun to ease up? What's the first thing you're planning on doing when movement is no longer restricted? Please share....I want to know!

Cheers,

Danny

How can you safely show love and appreciation for the most important woman in your life?

It's nearly Mother's Day, and each year, my two sisters and I plan a huge breakfast and family day with our Mother. And we were so optimistic that we would be able to celebrate in style again this year...that was until this pandemic.

My Dear Friends,

Like most of you, I've been reading the news about the spread of coronavirus and I wanted to take a moment today to share with you what we are doing to ensure that our team at the Danny Newfeld Collection is safe and to send wishes and hopes to you, our community of customers, that your health and safety are a priority. 

There is so much uncertainty now in the world, and although we may not always see it, or feel it, I'm a faithful person with the sincere belief that G-d's protection is real. With extra time on my hands to think, to write and to create, I wanted to share a few thoughts about how I believe we can make some sense out of the chaos we're living in.  

Community and Kindness

In this time of uncertainty, extending out to our community with random acts of kindness is certain to help us. But how can we do that? With telephones, skype, whatsapp and all the technology we have at our fingertips, it's time to reconnect! Find that friend you've been meaning to connect with, and call. Offer to make / bake or lend a book. We're going to be spending a lot of time indoors in the near future, make the time and effort to reach out to those near and far. 

Choices

We all have the choice and options to do what make us happy. Are there ways for you to be productive in your own home? Is it time to declutter? Is it time to organize your spices? What about just having a glass of tea and "recentering"? Although we live in uncertain times, we are living in historical times (for better or for worse). These can potentially be times to be cherished, it's time to seize the moment (or moments) of tranquility. 

Stretch Your "Real" Muscles

Have a dance party, walk around the block, do some gentle stretches. The point is...move around, it will clear your thoughts. 

Stretch Your Creative Muscles 

Turn off the computer. Listen to music. Learn how to play a musical instrument. Pick up a pencil and write a story (write a blog) or design a new piece of jewelry! 

Use Your Time Well

When you, my community made special request, to create a faith-based jewelry item, I immediately knew what message I wanted to convey. I believe the God is ultimately our source of ultimate protection, and Psalm 91 is a perfect example of a source of comfort in these times of anxiety and uncertainty. I have created a slip-on bangle and co-ordinating ring for you. A great conversation starter, and an elegant reminder that God is protecting us all.  

Wishing you best, please stay healthy and let me know how you're managing during this crisis.

Yours,

Danny

An earring is a fashion accessory attached to your ear; but you're certainly not committed to wearing earrings only on your lobes! It seems that every millimeter, from the lobe up through the cartilage can be the perfect canvas for adornment.

Over time, studs and hoops have transformed to climbers, barbells or huggies but I would love to share some surprising facts about earrings that you may not have known! 

1. Men Have Been Wearing Earrings for Thousands of Years!

Portraits from the 15th century depicted wealthy MEN showing off their fortunes wearing opulent fabrics, and earrings. But it goes back even further! Texts from the Bible include descriptions of warriors being decked out for war donning earrings. 

2. How Many Places on your ears can you Pierce?

Are you ready to guess? If you said 9, you'd be right! Are you ready for the names of all the parts of your ears? Cartilage, Industrial, Rook, Daith, Targus, Snug, Conch, Anti-Targus and lobe. How you arrange them is up to you!

3. Pirates Wore Earrings for Superstitious Reasons!

Some pirates were convinced that wearing an earring was a type of "talisman". They though that maybe it would protect them on their voyages. I think it just may have prevented seasickness! 

Over time, we have gradually become more accustomed to seeing earrings on all genders and nearly all ages. Earrings just look great. It's the first accessory that someone sees when they look at your face, which makes them a very vital adornment.

Our 925 sterling silver or 14K gold collections of hoop, stud and dangle earrings are the perfect fit for every shape of face, and for every occasion. I believe that jewelry is the perfect spice of life! Which earrings will you be wearing to add some drama?
