Novell Design Studio has prided itself on continually bringing innovation to the bridal jewelry industry. The company currently specializes in customizing its designs to suit individuals’ particular needs, tastes and diverse lifestyles. Since no consumer should just have to settle for what is on the shelf, Novell can specially manufacture almost all of their wedding band styles in many variations – wider, narrower, in different metals (platinum, palladium or gold), with different finishes, and much more. Novell wedding bands and engagement rings are sold at over 1,000 authorized retailers nationwide. Visit www.novelldesignstudio.com to find the authorized retailer in your area.
Engagement ring sales at Jay Roberts Jewelers – one of Jersey’s best jewelry retailers – are through the roof.
They’ve recently been featured on CBS Philly:
It turns out love is in the air, as many couples who have been staying at home together are deciding to make it official and put a ring on it. People have been cooped up for months and now, it appears love can blossom under those circumstances.
Time is of the essence as people waiting to profess their love refuse to waste any more of it.
“It’s at least double than we’ve seen in the last couple years,” Jay Golde, of Jay Roberts Jewelers, said.
They also have seen couples that are going straight for wedding bands without the engagement.
Of all the things that have changed over the past few months due to corona virus, the tradition of courting and couples in the spring is still going strong.
People still want to get married!

Novell, CJUSA, and our staffs are committed to an aggressive protocol as we do our part to slow, avoid, and eventually eradicate COVID-19. We are being as proactive as possible as we adjust to a crisis lifestyle, and we will continue producing and delivering our products for the foreseeable future while at the same time keeping our staff safe and healthy.
History reminds us that we need to come together in order to weather challenges like COVID-19. That takes strong leadership, community resolve, and the enforcement of good policy. The following are some details about Novell/CJUSA’s COVID-19 response including policy, factory posts, CDC links, and action points.
Novell/CJUSA held an all-staff meeting outdoors to visually guide and encourage social distancing.
Through a collaboration of our executive staff, building security, and factory management, a bilingual presentation describing what will be a new normal at Novell was detailed. Employees all made a commitment to do their part in helping to isolate and discourage COVID-19 by exercising best practices company wide.
Our domestic-sales staff will not make personal visits or attend trade or trunk shows. They will work from home in coordination with sales management until further notice. They will be scheduling teleconferences to check and see how our customers and suppliers are doing and offer our assistance when we can help.
All employees capable of working remotely will do so. One person in each department can attend the Novell facility, but all others must coordinate with that central person from home.
Our photography staff and equipment will be temporarily relocated outside the building.
All departments have ramped up production with a goal of reducing the attending staff to 30% or less, increasing the potential for social distancing to over 700 square feet per person. We have a very large facility in Rahway, so we are spreading out within our own house.
Stringent cleaning and isolation standards are set and practiced by employees. Work areas and tools are no longer shared and are completely disinfected multiple times each day.
Common areas are used sparingly and are completely cleaned and disinfected multiple times each day.
Novell management will monitor government websites for temporary programs useful to team members and we will provide guidance and assistance to all staff members when needed.
All incoming and outgoing packages are wiped and disinfected. Non-time-sensitive packages are dated, put to the side for one week and then opened.
We have installed and are enforcing all protocols per CDC guidance on preventing transmission of infectious diseases.
If you are getting married later this year, it’s time to shop for your wedding bands.

Thirty-one years of award winning wedding band designs – trending and changing like the people who wear them.
Novell Select represents the very best and most popular work we’ve done by combining bands from our Max Patrick, Z*ART, NQP, and core Novell Collections.
With over 20,000 wedding band designs in our catalogue of work, we’ve streamlined the selection process by cherry picking styles and creating groups.
They are:
• INSIDE OUT bands are one color on the inside and another on the outside. For example, signature designs for men are typically rose gold on the inside and white gold or platinum on the outside. This ever-expanding category is one of our most popular and offers designs from uncomplicated to intricate. For manufacturing and plating reasons, INSIDE OUT bands are only available in precious metal.
• COLORS is a blend of designs that are popular in yellow, rose, two- or three-tone gold. Everyday jewelry is being redefined in bursts of color. And wedding bands are no exception. This is our fastest growing category!
• DIAMOND bands bring stone to precious metal. Whether understated or serious-statement designs, somewhere in this collection is a band for that distinctive men’s diamond band customer. Many of the DIAMOND designs are available as alloy or silver samples.
• ORGANICS are hand-forged-background textures that can be put on Novell precious-metal bands. From sand to lava, tree bark to ravine, supple to severe, organics speaks to those who identify with one of the many moods of Mother Earth
• CIRCLES bands are stackable in groups or used as spacers. Shapes and textures are made by machine and by hand with over thirty choices and so many combinations that you – or your customer – will never really have to make up their mind. Diversity is a state of jewelry.
• Our TOP 20 wedding band designs literally never go out of style. See a design but want it in a different width? How about a different finish? Or maybe even add diamonds, change them or take them away? Just ask! Almost all wedding band designs can be made in platinum, palladium or gold.
• TRENDING are the top selling designs in the SELECT Collection. As real-world trending of styles changes, so does this collection, although a lot of our most popular designs stand the test of time. Excellence is always in fashion.
• ALTROm is a special alternative metal collection and the result of our affiliation with HEAVY STONE RINGS in Utah. It includes bands made from diverse materials such as wood, cobalt, carbon fiber, titanium, etc., often combined with precious metal.
When it comes to selecting your wedding band for the BIG Day – you’ve got serious options with Novell!
If you live near Chicago, come visit our Bridal Jewelry Guru Howard during Steve Quick Jeweler’s Wedding Band Trunk Show (October 18 – 20, 2019).
Not sure how to select the right wedding band? Howard will happily guide you.
Keep in mind that nearly all Novell precious metal wedding bands can be made in different metals and widths?
Howard can also show you our new collection of Altrom wedding bands – alternative metal designs created with black zirconium, meteorite, titanium and carbon fiber. Many are a mixed with yellow or rose gold for a look like no other!
So, if your wedding is next year – or just around the corner – now is the time to start shopping!
Howard is only at this event in Chicago a few times a year, so don’t miss out.
See you there!

Planning a wedding can be an arduous process, as much as it is nice knowing that the day of your dreams is finally arriving. Organizing such an event can be hard, however, it is worth it! Unfortunately, after the wedding is over there are still some things left to do.
You probably already have an after wedding to-do list. Still, after reading this article you’ll be better equipped to handle all the things on your list. There are probably some things that you haven’t thought of doing, even though they probably should have been on your list. Read on to find out more.
#01 Clean Your Wedding Dress
After the wedding, you’ll want to have your wedding dress cleaned and well preserved. It’s probably a good idea to hire professional cleaners that have specialized in bridal gowns. If you don’t know any, you can ask at your salon if they can point you in the right direction. Once you’ve found the right cleaners, don’t forget to tell them which substances they shouldn’t use on your dress (if there are any).
Not only can the bridal gown-specialists clean your dress, but they can also make sure that the dress remains well-preserved in the years to come. That means that they will usually store your dress in a package that is moisture and insect-resistant. Then it’s up to you to find a dark and cool place where you’ll keep your gown.
#02 Show That You’re Grateful to Your Guests By Sending Them a Thank-You Card After the Wedding
Sending your guests a thank-you card is a nice thing to do. After all, they’ve all been there to share the happiness with you during the wedding. Part of the beauty of the wedding day is that you get to share all the positive emotions that you’re feeling.
Receiving thank-you notes will make your guests feel nice.
If you’re having a destination wedding, some people might not be comfortable with that (forgive them). They might even go through the five stages of getting invited to a destination wedding. So, send them cards in order to repay them for coming anyway. Usually, three months is the amount of time that you have to write and send thank-you cards. If it takes you longer than that, you’ll probably be seen as an impolite person.
While writing, try to make every card personal. Be honest and creative. You can also mention each person’s wedding gift. Tell them how you plan to use it, and they’ll surely feel good about it. Apart from your guests, you can also send a thank-you card to your vendors as well. If they were any good, write to them and thank them. Not only will they feel accomplished, but they’ll probably try to do even better in the future.
#03 Store the Gifts That You Won’t be Needing Soon
After thanking everyone for being there and for giving you such lovely gifts, you’ll probably be overrun with a huge amount of presents. In all likelihood, you won’t have an immediate use for some of them. That’s why it’s a good idea to put them in storage until the time comes when you’ll need them. If you live in Brooklyn, we can recommend a company that will expertly handle all of your storage needs – U. Santini Moving and Storage Brooklyn. If you don’t live in Brooklyn, then you can search for good storage companies on Google or ask your friends and relatives if they’ve had any dealings with storage companies in your area.
What you’re looking for is a company that offers a high-quality service for an affordable price. It may be tempting to simply hire the nearest storage company. However, you shouldn’t do that. Do proper research and it’ll pay off. There’s no use in having a storage company right across the street from you if the quality of their service is no good. And if it is good, there’s no point in hiring such a company if it’s too expensive. So, try to find the most affordable storage unit at your disposal, while at the same time making sure that it suits all your needs.
#04 Take Care of the Wedding Registry
If you’ve expected to get the exact number of items that you have chosen upon starting a wedding registry, then you’ve probably never married before. The reason we’re saying this is because a scenario where you get the exact number of items that you’ve registered for almost never happens.
That means that, most likely, there’ll be some returns and exchanges to take care of. Maybe you’ve gotten more sets of silverware than you’ve expected, or even some items that weren’t on the registry to begin with. Actually, we’d be very surprised if that didn’t happen.
Returning and exchanging gifts should be on your after wedding to do list.
Return policies vary from store to store, so we can’t give you too much information. What we can say, however, is that you should you try to do that as soon as possible. That’s because a lot of stores offer a discount on all the leftover items.
However, these discounts don’t last forever. So, if you want to buy any items by yourself, check how much time you will shave to do so.
#5 – #8
Here are some more ideas to complete your after wedding to-do-list:
• If you’ve changed your last name, you’ll need to update your driver’s license, your social security number, and pretty much all other important documents that bear your name.
• Not only should you send a thank-you card to the vendors that have done a good job, but you can also give them a good review online. Of course, if they’ve provided inadequate service, you can also give them a bad review. Maybe that’ll teach ’em!
• Make a wedding album. Arrange the pictures in the right order and choose the right layouts. Then place your order and be happy knowing that you’ll have something to remind you of your (hopefully) beautiful wedding.
• If you’ve created a website with all the necessary information about the wedding – now is the time to remove it. Otherwise, you’ll still be paying for hosting costs.
Last But Not the Least
Enjoy your honeymoon! Whether you’ll be spending it at one of the most popular US honeymoon spots, or you’ve chosen to travel to a less-known location, the message is the same – until you get back, there’s no need to worry too much about your after wedding to-do list. Relax and try not to think about your everyday obligations.
The honeymoon is a time of joy and happiness.
Enjoying your honeymoon won’t be good just for you. If it turns out to be as magical as one would expect, you’ll ooze happiness once you return, and that will have a positive effect on everyone that you meet. You can even start in the airplane. Smile at some of the passengers or make a flight attendant your friend. That way, you’ll begin a positive streak that may not end soon.
To Conclude
Whether you’re thinking about your after wedding to-do list in advance, or the wedding is over and the time to act is now, we hope that our little guide was helpful and that you’ve learned something new while reading.
Looking like a queen on their wedding day is the dream of almost every bride-to-be.
Following a perfect beauty routine before your wedding will not only help you look beautiful, but you’ll have peace of mind as well.
Unfortunately, exhaustion naturally starts to build up as the big day approaches. This ultimately makes it harder to look like the best version yourself possible.
Rosacea, dark under eye circles, and acne are some of the most common skin problems associated with these more grueling and backbreaking times of our lives.
This is why most beauty experts advise that brides begin thinking about their beauty routine at least six months before the wedding so that they can experiment and compare results.
The year leading up to the big day can be a busy time for the bride. Following these tips will help step up your beauty routine for wedding day confidence that is second to none.
Create a Sleep Schedule
Develop a sleep cycle as early as possible. This requires you to pick a time to go to bed, as well as a wake-up time, each day. Creating a sound sleep schedule and sticking it can help your body find its pace and settle into a routine sleep-wake rhythm.
A good sleeping schedule will also result in fewer wrinkles, less puffy eyes, and glowing skin. It should be noted that an irregular sleep schedule often leads to mood swings, poor concentration, cognitive problems, drowsiness, and irritability.
Stay Active
Lifting weights and regular exercise is essential in boosting energy levels and cleansing your skin. It is advisable to join the gym or add an industry-approved machine like a seated-dumbbell press to your exercise regimen. This is an excellent way of having more toned and powerful arms, shoulders, and back.
Exfoliate
While washing your face daily can do wonders to your overall appearance, it is important to note that this won’t quicken the cell regeneration process. As we age, the body becomes even slower to get rid of old skin cells and produce new ones. The moment old cells begin to accumulate on the surface of our skin, it can leave our face looking dry, rough, and dull.
This is why proper exfoliation is needed to eliminate the multitude of dead skin cells that are blocking fresh new cells. In a nutshell, a regular exfoliating pattern will help your skin look healthy and fresh.
Create a Hair Plan
Let your stylist know your goals and have them create a hair plan to get you there. You can also start to experiment with hair treatments a few months before your wedding by combining your favorite conditioner with products that increase the silkiness of your hair.
Visit a Dermatologist
Weddings are often considered as red-carpet moments for brides. With all the anxiety and stress involved in planning, there is a great possibility that your red-carpet moment can quickly turn to a cold shoulder day. It is recommended to visit a dermatologist six months before the wedding to make sure that your skin is healthy and in perfect condition.
Are you ready for your big day? Keep our tips in mind and create the perfect beauty routine for your big day and look your absolute best.

More about Novell Wedding Bands
Thirty-one years of award winning wedding band designs – trending and changing like the people who wear them.
Novell Select represents the very best and most popular work we’ve done by combining bands from our Max Patrick, Z*ART, NQP, and core Novell Collections.
With over 20,000 wedding band designs in our catalogue of work, we’ve streamlined the selection process by cherry picking styles and creating groups.
They are:
• INSIDE OUT bands are one color on the inside and another on the outside. For example, signature designs for men are typically rose gold on the inside and white gold or platinum on the outside. This ever-expanding category is one of our most popular and offers designs from uncomplicated to intricate. For manufacturing and plating reasons, INSIDE OUT bands are only available in precious metal.
• COLORS is a blend of designs that are popular in yellow, rose, two- or three-tone gold. Everyday jewelry is being redefined in bursts of color. And wedding bands are no exception. This is our fastest growing category!
• DIAMOND bands bring stone to precious metal. Whether understated or serious-statement designs, somewhere in this collection is a band for that distinctive men’s diamond band customer. Many of the DIAMOND designs are available as alloy or silver samples.
• ORGANICS are hand-forged-background textures that can be put on Novell precious-metal bands. From sand to lava, tree bark to ravine, supple to severe, organics speaks to those who identify with one of the many moods of Mother Earth
• CIRCLES bands are stackable in groups or used as spacers. Shapes and textures are made by machine and by hand with over thirty choices and so many combinations that you – or your customer – will never really have to make up their mind. Diversity is a state of jewelry.
• Our TOP 20 wedding band designs literally never go out of style. See a design but want it in a different width? How about a different finish? Or maybe even add diamonds, change them or take them away? Just ask! Almost all wedding band designs can be made in platinum, palladium or gold.
• TRENDING are the top selling designs in the SELECT Collection. As real-world trending of styles changes, so does this collection, although a lot of our most popular designs stand the test of time. Excellence is always in fashion.
• ALTROm is a special alternative metal collection and the result of our affiliation with HEAVY STONE RINGS in Utah. It includes bands made from diverse materials such as wood, cobalt, carbon fiber, titanium, etc., often combined with precious metal.

Your wedding is a big day. However, another big day is coming, too. The moving day. This means that not only do young couples stress out about the wedding, but also about the whole moving in process. However, with the right strategy, everything can go smoothly and easily. You just need to stay calm and be organized. We are going to help you with some useful tips on planning a post-wedding move, so you can enjoy your big day without thinking about moving issues.
Why Move After the Wedding? Many couples wonder what the best time to move in together is. Some of them do it long before the moving day – they get used to each other before they say “I do”. However, other couples feel that planning a post-wedding move is more special in many ways. Even though this way is more complicated since you need to plan both the wedding and relocation – it’s much more special and romantic for the couple. If you are one of these love birds, be sure to stay organized and plan everything in advance. Also, learn how to reduce wedding planning stress and actually enjoy the whole process.
Be sure to start to planning a post-wedding move in advance, so you can do it stress-free.
Planning a Post-Wedding Move – When to Start? The main thing you need to remember about planning a post-wedding move is to start early. Arranging everything in advance gives you enough time and energy to parallel-organize both the wedding and the move. If you need to plan your relocation to Brooklyn, NY, you should have enough time to browse neighborhoods, find the right home, a moving company, etc. Therefore, time is everything. If you start organizing months in advance, you will do everything without delays and stress, and enjoy the most beautiful events in your life.
Extra tip: Hang a big calendar in a visible place, so you can follow your progress until the wedding and moving day. It will be much easier to do the tasks when you know how many days you have left until the big days.
Declutter Your Home Yes, you are moving in together after your honeymoon and that’s very exciting. However, a less exciting part is decluttering your items before packing and moving. But it is a necessary step in the moving process. Go through your items and see if there are some things you don’t need or use. If you get rid of the unnecessary/broken items, you will have more space at your new home for some new things (wedding gifts included). Additionally, you can reduce the packing time and save on moving costs, too.
Inventory List is a Great Idea Making a list of your possessions is useful in many ways. Firstly, if you and your spouse both have these lists, you can easily see what you have and compare. Furthermore, this list can be used to check the moving boxes after the moving company delivers them to your new home. After the wedding, be sure to include the wedding gifts on the list, so you can plan the storage of those items, especially valuables. Going through the wedding gifts will certainly feel good after all the wedding-planning stress.
Agree on Double Items Before you even start packing, both you and your partner need to go through all the items and check if you have any double items. Then, you need to decide which one of these two you are going to bring to your new home. It shouldn’t matter whose items they are, but if they function properly, look better, etc. Choose the things that will serve you better in your new house, and figure out what you are going to do with the items you don’t need. You can always sell, donate or recycle them, depending on the item condition. You may have a difficult time to say goodbye to some items, but try focusing on the new life chapter in front of you.
Moving in together means you should planning a post-wedding move together and agree which items stay and which ones should go.
Have a Moving Budget You may have a wedding budget – you need to find the perfect venue, dress, decoration, without breaking the bank. The same goes with the moving process. It’s good to have a moving budget and follow the plan. This way you will avoid unexpected costs and unpleasant surprises.
Moving and wedding budget are very important part of the organization.
Find the Right Assistance Moving is a complicated process. But if you are doing it right after your wedding day – it’s even more overwhelming. That’s why you should ask for some assistance for your household relocation and get the work done by professionals. Finding a reliable moving company should be one of the most important tasks on your moving to-do list. This way you can trust them all the moving work and enjoy your wedding without worrying.
Do the Packing Right If you are packing by yourself, be sure to do it wisely. This way you will save a lot of time when unpacking, avoid damage and additional costs and be more efficient in the post-wedding period. When packing for a post-wedding move, be sure to:
• Pack your items by room, so it is easier to unpack and find certain items later on. • Label all the boxes – write what’s inside each box and mark boxes with fragile items. • Put heavier items on the bottom – lighter on the top. • Don’t overpack the boxes – too heavy boxes are difficult to carry and more prone to damage • Use quality packing supplies – you ‘ll need sturdy moving boxes, a lot of tape, bubble wrap, scissors, markers. • Pack valuables carefully – pack your expensive and fragile items by yourself, and move them with you. Moving companies usually avoid transporting these types of things.
Enjoy Your Day After all everything is about your big day and enjoying this beautiful chapter of your life. That’s why planning a post-wedding move should be a breeze. Make sure you don’t stress out about small things and take your time to enjoy this period with your spouse. Make this the best time of your life and look forward to your honeymoon!

There are few things as important as the venue when it comes to organizing a wedding. Actually, the importance of the venue might even be on par with finding the perfect dress. After all, your wedding day is not simply one thing – it is an amalgam of the tiny perfections you’ve chosen that celebrate your love. And a venue is definitely key for the most important day. However, choosing a venue can also prove to be quite stressful and daunting. But, with the right preparation, the perfect venue is certainly not unattainable. So, here are some tips on how to find the perfect venue for your wedding.
To Find the Perfect Venue for Your Wedding – Talk to Your Planner
Finding a venue is one of the most important steps of planning your wedding. But, it is best if you consult a wedding planner before you start choosing. You need professionals who will be able to see what can be done with the venue you like. Remember, this is their job, and they’re much more equipped to deal with the “messy practical bits” of wedding preparation. They will be able to see whether your dream venue can actually support your dream day. Talk to them about what you want and what you dream of. They will be able to tell you whether it is achievable.
Let Your Imagination Run Wild
These days, there are wedding ideas basically everywhere. And yes, the perfect wedding in a chateau is certainly astonishing. Marrying in a place where once kings and queens resided is truly exciting. But it is also technically challenging. And what about marrying in a foreign country, on a sandy beach somewhere? While it may truly be a miraculous event, planning a long distance wedding is not that easy. It’s not impossible, but it’s also quite stressful.
That is why you should think about yourself and your partner first and foremost. Ask yourself what feels right to you as a couple. Will you both be having fun on that day? Does this venue reflect your relationship?
Ask yourself whether the venue reflects your relationship.
While doing research online for a theme, as one does, try to select ideas here and there. Some may fit you better than others. Then blend these ideas with something that you have envisioned. Once you know your theme, choosing the perfect venue will be a piece of cake.
Deal With the Practical Side
Wedding preparations can pass in quite the haze. It is not uncommon to forget that, sadly, there are practical issues that need to be addressed. When trying to find the perfect venue for your wedding, make sure to first sit down and put some things on paper. There are issues like the budget and the guest list that need to be dealt with. And they are essential for selecting your dream venue. So, here are some of the practical things you should consider when you’re trying to find the perfect venue for your wedding.
Make a List of Necessary Factors
This will make your job later on much, much easier. With clear factors, you will be able to look at the places you’ve selected (somewhat) objectively. First and foremost, set a budget for your venue. A good rule of thumb is that the price of the venue should not exceed 50 percent of the total amount paid for the wedding.
Set a budget for your wedding.
Then, you should consider the size, which correlates to the number of your guests. Talk with your partner about the guest list. You should at least have a ballpark number of guests at this point. This will also help when you’re considering the budget, since some of the costs depend on the number of people.
Then, you should choose the location of the wedding. If you have any out-of-state guests, then you should find a venue relatively close to a hotel. In addition, think about the facilities of the venue. If you want to find the perfect venue for your wedding, it should have everything you need. For instance, it should have a ceremony location if you will be getting married there. Also, if it’s out of town, it should have enough parking places.
Go Online and Select a Few Venues
When you’re browsing the Internet, select at least five venues that you find appealing. Remember, they don’t have to be perfect, but they do have to show potential! Work with your wedding planner. You will be able to get a better “read” on some places with the help of a professional. One of the things people neglect to look at is the reviews on the pages of the venues. And they are quite important, as they tell you a story about someone’s perfect (or possibly ruined) wedding day.
Now, there is one thing that should be mentioned. If you find a perfect venue that your heart is set on, but there is a slight issue, always try to discuss with the wedding planner whether that issue can be overcome. After all, if the problem can be fixed, definitely try! For instance, if you like a venue, but it lacks space, there are other ways to solve the problem. If you see that a venue has no room for wedding gifts, but it’s perfect in any other regard, short term storage solutions can be your best option. That way, you get the perfect venue for your wedding and the extra space you need! With a little know-how, small issues like these are a thing of the past!
Go online to find the perfect venue for your wedding.
Call the Venue(s)
Now, when you’ve selected the five venues, make sure to ask them for dates of availability. Some of the venues can even send you a list of available dates. Your options will be much more extensive if you have several dates in mind for your wedding. Once you’ve done that, try to compare them objectively. Of course, if your dates are not available, then those venues are out of the picture. The ones that remain should be put under scrutiny. Check whether the venues fulfil most of the conditions you’ve set. Then rate them accordingly. Select the top two or three and get ready for the next step.
To Find the Perfect Venue for Your Wedding – Visit and See for Yourself
There is truly no better way to find the perfect venue for your wedding but to go there and see for yourself. You will be given a tour of the place. This is then when you should let your imagination run wild. Imagine what you can do with the place. But, most of all, imagine your actual wedding day. If you can envision yourself getting married there and enjoying yourself with your loved ones, then that’s it. You’ve found your perfect place!
