Ohhh, the Gucci Horsebit collection.
A wise woman once told me, If you dont want a mall girl, raise a stall girl.
My first started riding when she was 3, my second when she was 5. Our weekends were spent at barns
riding and competing. This beautiful, iconic collection will always bring me back to those cherished
times spent with my girls.

Positivity, love and enthusiasm are the values upon which Roberto Coin
has built both his personal and professional life. These are also concepts that
are intimately bound to the symbolism of the ruby, the stone of passion par
excellence. In fact, it was considered by ancient Egyptians to be a kind of amulet
that in contact with the skin bestows prosperity, happiness and longevity.
These characteristics make the crimson stone a truly exclusive signature for
Roberto Coin. Since 1996 the jeweler has loved setting a small ruby on the inside
of each of his pieces, thus allowing direct contact with the skin and conferring
the stones beneficial properties on the women who wear his creations.
In spring of 2016, the iconic Italian jewelry designer debuted several new
collections four of which resonate greatly with Zacharys jewelers. According
to Coin, As always, we will surprise our customers. We [have launched] over
450 new models this year.

Its easy to make assumptions about Steve Samaras. As the owner of a successful jewelry store in the heart of downtown Annapolis, you
might assume his drive is measured in dollars. But Steve doesnt live an extravagant life. At least not in the way youd expect.
To Steve, more important than personal gain is knowing that the people around him are taken care of. So what has made Steve show
up seven days a week for the past 34 years? A means of providing for my community, my customers, my team and my family.
To understand Steve, youve got to start at the beginning, where youll find a strong family upbringing. He credits his parents small
business success with a combination of his mothers social responsibility and his fathers strong work ethic, which also personally define Steve
And business and family continue to coexist for the Samaras family today. In the front of the house, youll find Evangeline, Steves
youngest sister and sounding board. Shes my voice of logic. Shes reasonable and socially conscious, which she gets from my mother. In
Severna Park, youll find his other sister, Daphne. Shes incredibly organized and has my fathers strong work ethic.
In the back of the house, youll find Challie, the love of Steves life. Shes the warmest, most genuine person Ive ever known.
Ironically, Challies jewelry collection only consisted of a pair of earrings and a Pulsar watch when they met. Shes no fuss, no muss. And Im a
Its clear that this family business knows what its really all about. And in fact, Steves life is actually quite extravagant But in the
very best of ways. Just ask the people who know him.
