The Boys of Summer: Dads and Grads
     As we approach Father's Day and graduation season, we wanted to make you aware of some of the great offerings Ketterman's has for the gentlemen in your life.  There is a lot out there for women in terms of jewelry, but men seem to have  a more limited selection.  There are many men who are happy with a wedding band and a watch, but for the man who enjoys a little more personal style, here are a couple things he may enjoy.  
     At the JCK Jewelry Show in Las Vegas the Ketterman's got to meet with the designer of Galatea's new "Capitan" Collection.  This is a new group of men's jewelry representing the Captain in every man.  There are six different styles portraying different aspects of manhood including the dragon, symbolizing enlightenment, the lion which represents courage and strength, and the eagle depicting wisdom and respect.  Each of these rings is sterling silver and 14 karat yellow gold.  To see the collection and learn more about this new line, click here.
      In addition to the Capitan Collection, Galatea has a few fun items for gentlemen who enjoy enhancing their look with jewelry.  The Ecks line includes the "traditional" carved Galatea Pearls and sterling silver in a more masculine tone including the grenade pendant, playing card themed ring or pendant, and Ichthus cross pendant.  There are several new styles that should arrive at the store in the next couple of weeks, just in time for Father's Day.  There are also the traditional gent's sterling silver and stainless steel ID Bracelets, as well as cuff links and tie bars and pins.
     Don't worry, if the men in your life are not the "embellished" type, personalized money clip or keychain makes a great gift.  There are also business card holders, Brighton belts and wallets, and a few other things...
Bey Berk shave sets can keep him clean cut in style.  A Tavannes Skeleton Watch can keep him on time.  Mariposa bottle stoppers and openers can help him "hydrate" (age 21 and up).  A William Henry Knife or Cufflinks is functional and stylish.  And the Original Depler barware can help him artfully entertain.
     No matter how you show it, congratulate those grads for their accomplishments and love on those dads for all they do.   
 
To Make a Father Proud  
      Back when Mr. Richard Ketterman encouraged Dan and Tammi  to set up a shop of their own, he never could have imagined where they would go.  They have taken great liberty with the "Jewelry Store", much like Mr. Ketterman,  by carrying items such as oil paintings, tableware, and  children's toys.  The store has grown to double the size of the original in floor space and exponentially in product offerings, but still holds to it's roots in a dedication to great products and superior customer service. 
     Thanks to our wonderful customers, Ketterman's was voted Best of Northern Virginia for fine Jewelry for 2012, 2013, and (drum roll) 2014!  
     Ketterman's also received a "Best Of" award for Fine Jewelry from the readers of Virginia Living Magazine in 2013 and again for this year.
  
     More than the accolades, Mr. Ketterman's proudest moment would likely have been Sunday, May 18th when Ketterman's in Leesburg brought together his life loves - the jewelry store, family, and horse racing.  About 150 racers and their families came out with their rubber duckies to enjoy a beautiful day for Ketterman's 25th Anniversary Duck Race and Family Fun Day.  The winners of 20 races competed in the grand finale race, the "Kett-Ducky Derby", for gift certificates to the store and bragging rights.  (see the final race here)  Mr. Ketterman Sr. would have loved it.
Feature Product
-Bird Dog Bay-
Diamonds may be a girl's best friend, but man's best friend is Bird Dog Bay.  Founder and principal designer, Steve Mayer, started Bird Dog Bay after working several years for a high-end  neckwear company.  He wanted to have the freedom to use his creativity and life experience to design men's accessories that are professional and fun. These 100% silk ties are hand sewn in Chicago, Illinois.  The designs start as a pencil sketch and are created exclusively for Bird Dog Bay.  such as "Sittin' Shotgun", or "Playing Jacks".  The small scale designs allow the gentlemen who wear them to have a little fun with their formal attire.
Dan and Tammi saw the ties at the Atlanta gift show in January of 2013.  They called the daughters and asked them to look on the website to see if this was something Ketterman's should have.  The girls weren't totally on board.  In 2014, Tammi and Richi looked at the line again presented it to the family for reconsideration, and placed an order to get them in.  They have been a great addition to the 'Man Corner" as an opportunity for a non-jewelry gift.

Fun Fact...
 
The first Father's Day happened on June 17, 1910 championed by Sonora Smart Dodd after a Mother's Day Sermon she heard at her church in 1909. She wanted to celebrate her father, a widowed farmer with six children.

Father's Day is now celebrated in over fifty countries.
