38 years Marking on Hilton Head Store Owner Andrea Bragg Andrea@ForsytheJewelers.biz Celebrating 38 years in 2019, Forsythe Jewelers continues to bring the world’s best designer jewelry and gifts to Hilton Head. Carrying the most popular designer brands, this family-owned business provides an unhurried, small-town shopping experience to every customer who enters the store. Over the past three decades, the store has established itself as an island landmark and its name is synonymous with shopping on Hilton Head. In fact, the Hilton Head Island-Bluffton Chamber of Commerce recently named Forsythe as its “Small Business of the Year.” Storeowner Andrea Bragg keeps Forsythe on-trend by traveling the world to meet personally with designers and see firsthand where and how the items she chooses for the showcases are made. As a member of The American Gem Society, Forsythe takes pride in being part of a small percentage of jewelry stores in the world dedicated to high standards of professional ethics and education. For many locals, Forsythe is their “neighborhood” jewelry store where they are warmly greeted by name. For first-time visitors, the shop is the perfect backdrop for choosing a gift to remember their Hilton Head vacation. For returning visitors, shopping at Forsythe is as much a part of their vacation as an evening bike ride or walk on the beach…it’s an event they’ve been anticipating since their last trip to the island. Forsythe allows customers to slow down and shop at a pace that only a vacation can provide…no rushing or compromising; they’re now on “island” time. 2

What Relaxed Luxury
Means to
Forsythe Jewelers By Mary Hall
First Featured in Hilton Head Monthly November 2018
For over 38 years, Forsythe Jewelers has been refining the term “relaxed luxury.”
It’s a phrase that doesn’t seem, at first, to make a lot of sense — but those who have
experienced the world-class designer jewelry and service offered at Forsythe know that
the term perfectly describes the store’s core.
“Relaxed luxury at Forsythe means offering jewelry made of the highest quality
and best craftsmanship, coupled with unmatched customer service in an environment
void of pressure,” said Forsythe owner Andrea Bragg. “We’re relaxed, we’re on an
island, yet our selection of jewelry and our level of customer service rivals any big-city,
extravagant shop.”
The natural colors and light throughout the store, located in The Shops at Sea Pines
Center, are in keeping with the Hilton Head Island environment and create a warm,
gracious atmosphere that works its charm on all. Far from being intimidating or “scary,”
Forsythe welcomes shoppers to take their time and try on jewelry while talking with the
knowledgeable staff.
6
“Our store is not a museum; we’ve removed the stigma,” Bragg said. “We want
people to feel welcome to look and try on. One thing we enjoy doing is styling our
clients. We love to help people pick out something that will enhance their lifestyle,
whether it’s to play bridge or golf, have dinner at Truffles or go to the theater. We listen
to what our clients need and serve them to our best ability.”
Listening to customers is key and helps Forsythe’s staff to pick the perfect pieces for
their clients. The team stays up-to-date on new styles and materials, and they’re always
happy to place special orders for clients. New products come in every week and are
displayed in cases that showcase the craftsmanship and design. And Bragg goes to top
jewelry shows every year, meeting with designers to stay abreast of current trends. The
shop carries styles from some of the top designers in the world: Roberto Coin, David
Yurman, John Hardy, Marco Bicego, Lagos, Gabriel & Co. and Gurhan, for example; all
pieces that are perfect for both an island lifestyle and a big-city adventure.
Many visitors return again and again over the years. For example, Bragg points to
one family with three generations of happy Forsythe clients. The family comes into the
shop every year to purchase jewelry,
ending each visit by taking a photo of
the granddaughters in the store. The
photos create visual mementos of the
family’s growth through the years.
“We are truly blessed,” Bragg said.
After Hurricane Matthew in 2016,
Forsythe sent an email to clients as an
update on conditions on Hilton Head
and how the store had fared. She said
she received a great response from clients all over the country who were thinking about
their neighborhood jeweler during the crisis.
“Being warm and welcoming is who we are; it represents our business philosophy,”
Bragg said. “We offer a no-pressure, fun environment where our customers can be on
‘island time.’ We even have people who ride up to our store on their bikes and come
in to have a look. We enjoy being part of this community and developing relationships
with people. We take great pride in seeing people wear our jewelry. Our clients are
our Forsythe family.”

Fashion is changeable. It
is whimsical. Style is not.
Style is part of us, of our
life, in every moment and
every expression.
—Roberto Coin
TIMELESS CRAFTSMANSHIP
Roberto Coin was born in the city of Vicenza. Like a woman’s beauty magnified by jew-
els, this magical place is also called the City of Gold, a source of infinite design inspira-
tions and ancestral know-how.
Taste and experimentation turn each creation into an unedited example of style and in-
novation that soon catches the attention of the jewelry world, placing the brand among
the most renowned Italian jewelers and at the top of international studies on creativity
and quality.
Each piece, by Roberto Coin, is the result of a thorough process, a journey among
different cultures and multi-ethnic influences, through the world of nature, between
echoes of the past and future projections. The capability to transfer the most varied
experiences, dreams and perspectives into the jewels, characterizes the brand’s collec-
tions with an unmistakable mark of identity and uniqueness.
THE RUBY
Roberto Coin signs each one of his pieces with a small ruby casted inside the jewel, in
direct contact with the skin of who wears it. This magical signature, surrounded by an
antique halo of legend, represents the message of good wishes that Roberto Coin dedi-
cates to his passionate clientele.
The world of fashion recognizes Roberto Coin as the author of many of the most inter-
esting trends in the jewelry world over the last decades. His tireless instinct to always
bring something inedited to life pushes him to create over 600 new models a year,
which satisfy the needs of the most diverse international markets. Roberto Coin’s collec-
tions can be found today in over 1000 shops, scattered in over 60 countries worldwide.
Many creations are chosen each year by fashion celebrities and movie stars to accom-
pany them on the most popular and prestigious red carpets.

Forsythe Jewelers hosts a Roberto Coin “Pop-up Shop”

For the past 51 years Hilton Head has rolled out the “plaid
carpet” to welcome thousands of visitors to the RBC Heritage
Presented by Boeing. This annual event, which takes place
each April, has been played at the Harbour Town Golf Links
in Sea Pines since 1969 and is the only PGA TOUR event in
South Carolina.
Since 2009, Forsythe Jewelers has teamed up with
Roberto Coin to host a “pop-up shop” during the event. The
“shop” offers the latest designs and collections from the Italian
designer and is located in the tournament’s newest venue,
Wine at Nine.
Situated under the pines between the first and ninth holes,
Wine at Nine is an upscale destination where tournament
attendees can enjoy a premium glass of wine while watching
the action on the video board. The area provides the right
atmosphere to sit, sip and shop during the tournament.

15Stack
How to
Rings
More is more when it comes to stacking
rings! Today’s designs lend themselves
to easily combining different ring styles
from different designers. In fact, some
rings are made with multiple bands
already “stacked” together to create an
“insta-stack!” How easy is that?
Here are a few of our favorite tips
to get you started in stacking…
Build a stack around your
favorite ring
Sometimes it’s nice to choose
an “anchor” ring that you can
build a stack around. This is
an easy way to give new life to
an engagement ring. Just add
one or two bands on each side
of the stone and watch your
traditional design transform into a
trendsetting statement.
16Different Styles, Metals,
Widths…You Choose!
Stacking different textures and
designs is an easy way to create
a unique and creative look on
your hand. The more interesting
the band design, the better!
Alternating from a smoothed edge
to a jagged edge or a thick width
to a slim width.
How many is too many?
The sky, or your finger length as
it may be, is the limit! Obviously
you’ll be able to stack more
rings that have thinner bands,
rather than those with thicker
bands; however, as long as you’re
comfortable, the quantity is up
to you! Remember, if you’re
confident with your choices the
jewelry will shine even brighter!

27THE STYLE
BEHIND GABRIEL’S BRAND
B erna Gabriel, Chief Creative cer of
abriel Co., is lovely, delightful, and savvy.
No matter where she is or where she is going, she is
always radiantly embodying the true essence of the
abriel oman.
Q: What was the rst piece jewelry you ever owned?
A: y parents owned a jewelry store as well, so half
the time would help out and the other half would
be trying everything on. But remember there was a
tricolored gold-banded bracelet that loved to wear.
Q: What actors have been most in uential to evolving your
personal style?
A: As got older and my life got busier, got more
comfortable with the concept of practical pieces.
love that my favorite pieces feel like second skin to me. don’t take them off too much because they’re so
versatile. ey look great with a biker jacket, jeans and boots yet they’re perfect for those elegant nights out on the
town, or with a sweater when you’re just hanging out with the girls. Not only does my second skin make life and
looking good so much easier, it also a lot saves time. And there is nothing more precious these days than that.
Q: ou sound like you are every one of the ve abriel women
we write about
A: think that when a woman feels good in her own skin,
she is comfort being a woman of many different styles, just
not all at once. But it’s fun to keep people guessing as to
who the real you is because the answer is -- they’re all me.
Q: What piece of jewelry can’t you live without?
A: y hoop earrings. must have them at all times. carry
them with me even if am not wearing them. Hoops are
just amazing so feminine, so se y.
Q: What’s the most dynamic change in the industry?
A: omen are buying jewelry for themselves more than
ever. No more waiting for your boyfriend or fianc to buy
you something. omen are entrepreneurs running their
own businesses, making their own money and eager to
reward themselves. f course, we still love receiving gi s,
but women also want to mark their own milestones.

and determination Gurhan studied
the techniques of ancient goldsmiths
and then refined them into designs for
today’s woman. In fact, Gurhan is widely
recognized for pioneering the revival of
24K gold and reintroducing it into the
modern fine jewelry market.
Over the years the brand expanded and also offers collections in sterling silver, all
with the signature hand-hammered finish that is instantly recognizable. Devoted
to his design, Gurhan continues to oversee the company’s factory workshop
in Istanbul where each artisan is chosen and individually trained by Gurhan
himself. With this passion and dedication, Gurhan often refers to his jewelry as
“heartmade”. In fact, Gurhan can often be found at his workbench, envisioning
his next new collection or putting the finishing touches on a One-of-a-Kind
design. It is this intimate connection with his craft and unwavering commitment to
quality that has made GURHAN an internationally recognized brand.
GURHAN is a favorite among celebrities such as Angelina Jolie and Sandra Bullock
and has received numerous awards and accolades … he was even commissioned
to create an entire collection for the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The company
is currently headquartered in New York City where Gurhan oversees operations
along with his wife Fiona Tilley who is President and CEO.

Retailer
Roundtable
at the
MacKenzie-Childs
Farm
In November 2018, Forsythe Jewelers’ owner, Andrea Bragg, was one of only a handful of
retail partners invited to the MacKenzie-Childs farm and headquarters located in Aurora, New
York for a “Retailer Roundtable”. Andrea spent two snowy days with fellow small business
owners to share and learn about the role MacKenzie-Childs plays in their stores.
“I was so inspired by the people I met,” explained Andrea. “It was a roundtable discussion
at its truest…we shared ideas, helped each other and ultimately got reenergized about the
future of this very special brand!”
Andrea also spent time touring the working farm and production studio with Rebecca
Proctor, Creative Director, who, along with her team, is responsible for coming up new de-
signs each and every season. Rebecca even shared her inspirations for new collections, where
she sources certain materials from, and how her ideas are developed from start to finish.
Although it was a magical trip to Upstate New York, Andrea admitted that she was happy
to return to her island home.
The Forsythe Jewelers and MacKenzie-Childs Partnership
Forsythe Jewelers has carried the MacKenzie-Childs brand for over 30 years and is one of
only a select number of retailers to hold that distinction. Owner Andrea Bragg continually fills
the store with the newest pieces for our loyal MacKenzie-Childs collectors to enjoy as well as
for the visitors who may be experiencing the brand for the first time.
