The Edit

As the birthstone of January, garnet has long been associated with warmth, strength, and enduring love—qualities that feel especially meaningful at the start of a new year. Best known for its deep red glow, garnet is a gemstone with a rich past, powerful symbolism, and a modern presence that continues to captivate jewelry lovers today.

There are watches you buy because you like them—and then there are watches you buy because something happened. A promotion. A marriage. A risk that paid off. A chapter that closed, or one that finally opened. Milestone watches aren’t about trend cycles. They’re about anchoring memory to mechanics.

Maurice Lacroix occupies a distinctive space in Swiss watchmaking—rooted in traditional craftsmanship, yet unmistakably modern in spirit. Over the decades, the brand has evolved from a relatively quiet manufacturer into a respected name known for bold design, in-house movements, and strong value within the luxury watch world.

In a world where trends shift overnight, true craftsmanship stands timeless. Few names represent this enduring elegance more convincingly than Suna, the family-owned New York jeweler known for precision, sophistication, and an unwavering commitment to quality. Whether you’re discovering Suna for the first time or admiring it anew, the brand’s story is one of heritage and artistry at its finest.

December might close out the year, but its birthstones bring a lot of color to the season. Turquoise offers those soothing sky-blue tones, while Topaz delivers radiant sparkle. Both stones are rich in history and symbolism, making them perfect whether you’re shopping for someone else or picking out something you’ll love forever.

Black Friday and Cyber Week kick off a season of giving — and for many, a moment to invest in something special. At The Solist, we see this time not as a rush to buy more, but as an opportunity to choose better. 

This holiday season, The Solist is thrilled to collaborate with stylist Liza Lieberman for a specially curated collection of holiday looks. Liza worked closely with our team to style a series of campaign looks that celebrate both luxury and individuality.

Known for their industrial-inspired designs, innovative approach, and bold aesthetics, SevenFriday has carved a unique niche in the world of modern watchmaking. Let’s dive into the brand’s history, philosophy, and some of its standout collections.

November marks the transition from autumn’s golden glow to the crisp anticipation of winter. And what better way to celebrate the month than with its birthstones, Topaz and Citrine? Both gemstones embody warmth, positivity, and luxury, making them perfect for gifts—or a well-deserved treat for yourself.

Over the past year, gold prices have surged, making it one of the most compelling times to consider investing in luxury jewelry and watches. As inflation, market uncertainty, and tariffs continue to shape global trends, collectors and enthusiasts are looking for ways to protect their wealth — and do it in style.

October is a month of transformation—the leaves shift into fiery reds and oranges, the air turns crisp, and for those born in this season, a gemstone just as vibrant marks the occasion: tourmaline.

Unlike many gems that are defined by a single hue, tourmaline is celebrated for its kaleidoscope of colors. From deep greens and vivid pinks to striking bi-color “watermelon” varieties, no two stones are exactly alike. This spectrum of shades has made tourmaline a favorite among jewelry designers and collectors alike, earning it the reputation as one of the most versatile and expressive gemstones in the world.
