This substantial increase in our totals was due in large part to a partnership with Morgan Stanley Smith Barney’s Birmingham, MAKING TIME Bloomfield Hills and Troy offices, whose employees raised FOR A GOOD money internally and presented Tapper’s with a check for CAUSE $16,018.20 to be used to purchase coats and other winter weather clothing items. In addition to funds raised by Morgan Stanley Smith Barney employees, Tapper’s customers donated hundreds of coats and made cash donations towards the coat drive. Steven Tapper reflected on the generosity of Morgan Stanley Smith Barney, as well as all of the customers and community members who supported the Tapper’s Coat Drive. “Every person who helped this coat drive, by collecting coats, donating money or going through their own closets, should realize that they made a tremendous difference in people’s “Making Time for a Good Cause” is a Tapper’s charitable lives this winter.

We will accept nothing less than extraordinary from our team, because we want to provide that to our clients.” PAUL RUJAN Manager, Tapper’s Somerset Collection. Five years with Tapper’s. The only member of the managerial triumvirate who hails from Michigan, Paul began his career at Tapper’s managing the company’s Twelve Oaks store, going on to become the first manager at the Somerset location which opened in 2010. A huge Detroit Lions fan, Paul came to Tapper’s with 23 years of sales, training and managerial experience, and he brings excitement, dedication and knowledge to his team every day. Paul continually expresses his appreciation for the fact that at Tapper’s, the primary focus is on providing excellent service to clients. “I am very passionate about what I do and really enjoy having fun with our clients, making sure that their experience at Tapper’s is uniquely wonderful.” ROBERT ARTELT Manager, Tapper’s West Bloomfield. Two years with Tapper’s. Robert Artelt joins the Tapper’s management team with extensive experience in the world of luxury goods and service — as former Senior Vice President of Retail and Marketing for Mikimoto and Director of Fine Art Sales for Princess, Cunard and Holland America cruise lines. Having grown up in Chicago, joining Tapper’s brings Robert back to his Midwest roots, and he, his wife and daughter now call Michigan home. While in Chicago, Robert’s passion for charitable work was evident through his work with the Lincoln Park Zoo, the Chicago chapter of U.N.I.C.E.F., the M.S. Society and the Girl Scouts. When he’s not working and building relationships with his clients, Robert notes that “while music, dance and the arts keep our family busy [his wife is an opera singer], football is our favorite pastime.” Robert’s family follows college teams and, of course, the Detroit Lions. “Tapper’s is a wonderful family and organization,” says Robert, “which enables me to bring my worldwide experience not only to the company but to each of my clients, as well.” ROBERT VIOLANTE Manager, Tapper’s Twelve Oaks Mall.

  • Making Gravers by William R
    WEAR YOUR SAFETY GLASSES FORESIGHT IS BETTER THAN NO SIGHT READ INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE OPERATING Making Gravers By William R. Smith William R. Smith is well known in the field of clock making. He has recently designed a T-rest for the Sherline lathe that makes it possible to hand turn parts using a tool called a “Graver”, which is a common technique in watch- and clock making. This technique is also used in instrument making and modelmaking for turning special shapes like ball ends without having to grind a specially shaped cutter for the job. Mr. Smith’s credentials include a degree in mechanical engineering as well as FBHI (Fellow, British Horological Institute), FNAWCC (Fellow, National Association of Watch and Clock Collectors), CMC (Certified Master Clockmaker), CMW (Certified Master Watchmaker) and CMEW (Certified Master Electronic Watchmaker.). He has published several books and videos on clock making which will be of interest to anyone wishing to learn more about hand turning techniques or about making clocks. CAUTION: Use gravers carefully. Hold work materials with a and ruin them, all sharpening must be done by hand on a collet. Do not use gravers with a 3-jaw or 4-jaw chuck.

The picture of alumni sons and daughters in The Alumnus arouses me more than anything that has come out of Maine in years. After I graduated from the University, the succeeding college generations did not interest me much. They seemed to be strangers in the halls that had been mine. They didn’t know me when I returned to them, and I did not know them. Perhaps I even felt resentful in a way that they had taken over what I considered mine. My loyalty to Maine may not have slipped, but my interest certainly has lagged. But these youngsters are the flesh and blood of my old gang and I am mighty glad that they have come back home.

COMPLETE DIRECTIONS FOR USING ALL THE LATEST TOOLS, ATTACHMENTS AND DEVICES FOR WATCHMAKERS AND JEWELERS BY HENRY G. ABBOTT ILLUSTRATED WITH 288 ENGRAVINGS C HidAGO: Ge&. K. Hazlitt & Co., PUPUSHBIIS, Copyrighted 1898, by Geo. K. Hazlitt & Co. PREFACE. THE first edition of this work was published in 1893 and met with an unexpected and unprecedented sale, and a second edition was placed upon the market in less than ten months. So much new matter was added that it was found necessary to reset the entire work in smaller type in order to keep the volume within the price at which it was originally placed on the market. It is the first and only book, of which the author has any knowledge, which illustrates and describes modern American tools for the watchmaker and jeweler. The ambitious workman is always in search of knowl- edge, in search of new ideas, new tools and new methods. Patient study, constant practice and ambition are requisite to become pro- ficient in any art. The demand for skilled workmen is constantly increasing, and a person wishing to thoroughly master any art, must be to a certain extent capable of self instruction. To be proficient in any art a man must not be deft of touch alone, but the head must also play its part.

  • Tiara Pair of Earrings in Chinoiserie Style
    1 1. Italy or France Tiara Gold and coral, about 1817 Purchased with funds given by Rita Barbour Kern, 1996.27 French Neoclassicism revived the fashion for wearing a tiara, a head ornament based on an ancient Greek diadem. Tiaras of varying degrees of intrinsic value were worn by every woman from the middle classes to royalty. Coral, which was believed to posses protective powers, was often used in jewelry for children and young adults. A portrait painted by Luigi Bernero in 1817 of Maria Teresa of Savoy (1803– 1879) shows the 14-year-old Italian princess wearing a hair ornament almost exactly like this tiara. Most coral in Europe came from the sea around Naples and nearby Torre del Greco. In the 19th century coral jewelry became a fashionable souvenir. This was partly because people could travel more once the Napoleonic wars had ended in 1815, but also due to the growing popularity of Luigi Bernero (Italy, 1775–1848), Maria Teresa di Savoia. Oil on canvas, naturalistic jewelry in the 1850s. about 1817. Palazzo Reale, Turin, Italy 2. and pagoda-shaped elements of these earrings reflect the England period’s romantic taste for the Far East, known as chinoiserie Pair of Earrings in (sheen-WAH-zer-ee). Chinoiserie Style Pierced earrings were a sign of maturity. The first pair of earrings was usually given to a young girl in England at Silver, gold, diamonds, pearls and rubies, age 16, when simple ‘top-and-drop’ pearl earrings were considered to be more appropriate for a young, unmarried about 1820 girl.
