The Diamond Bank Is A Hidden Gem Against LA’s Jewelry Trove

Published Mon, 17 Mar 2025 03:23:51 GMT

            It’s often said that artists are defined by their eyes and how they see the world around them, which extends into the art of jewelry making and craftsmanship. Diamond diving is more precarious than you might imagine, for natural diamonds sparkle singularly in their own light, each one shaped and sculpted uniquely from the next. An eye for detail and diversity are required to identify true treasures, and The Diamond Bank, one of the most recognizable names in jewelry in Los Angeles and beyond, has perfected the art of ornamentation through decades of refinement and trust baked into the community, and the eyes that search for these pieces. Part of the charm that defines The Diamond Bank is their bespoke nature even after years of growth and development, retaining a distinctly artisanal quality unrivaled in the jewelry space. Much of this work is attributed to Chris Arakel, owner and lead designer, who embarked on his own journey 25 years ago.            Fittingly tucked in...

San Jose’s Tabard Theatre going old school with weekend telethon

Published Mon, 17 Mar 2025 03:23:51 GMT

Tabard Theatre Executive Artistic Director Jonathan Williams will channel his inner Jerry Lewis this weekend when he stages a 27-hour fundraising telethon at the downtown San Jose venue. And like most fun ideas, this one was born of equal parts inspiration and desperation.The theater found itself with a hole in its schedule this weekend, Williams said, and he decided to double down on its new role as a performance venue by quickly putting together the telethon. Sure, it’s a little bit kitsch, but that’s right in line with the new Tabard vibe.“This is a fundraiser, but we also want to get the message out there that we’re reinventing ourselves, no longer as a theater-producing organization but as a nonprofit with a new mission centered around creating a safe and supportive space for artists to share their work with the community,” Williams said. “We want to galvanize the community that appreciates this space.”When he thought about the range of...

Kurtenbach: Chris Paul is a Warrior, and somehow that makes perfect sense

Published Mon, 17 Mar 2025 03:23:51 GMT

This is why you can’t hold grudges in the NBA.In this league, a player can be a team’s sworn enemy for a decade — and vice versa.Then, in a shocking draft-day trade, that player joins that team.Chris Paul — yes, that Chris Paul — is now a Golden State Warrior. He was traded by Washington for Jordan Poole, Ryan Rollins, and draft picks on Thursday.It’s going to take a while for us to collectively wrap our heads around this one.But at the core of it all is the well-known fact that everyone can overlook things when they’re desperate.The Warriors were desperate to rid themselves of Poole. The four-year contract extension the team signed him to before the start of last season was proven to be a mistake. Not only did Poole fail to perform like a nine-figure player and future face of the franchise this past season — particularly in the playoffs — but the emotional damage that rippled through the team following Draymond Green’s punch of Poole in the preseason never h...

To launch his career as a star podcaster and to fulfill his end of the reported $20 million deal he and Meghan Markle signed with Spotify, Prince Harry floated several ideas for shows that didn’t impress producers and that may have contributed to the company’s decision to part ways with the couple.According to a report by Bloomberg’s Soundbite newsletter, one questionable concept would be for the renegade British prince to focus on the issue of childhood trauma and to interview a series of controversial global figures “about their early formative years and how those experiences resulted in the adults they are today.”Some of Harry’s dream guests included recently indicted former U.S. President Donald Trump, autocratic Russian President Vladimir Putin and polarizing Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, according to newsletter writer Ashley Carman, citing sources with knowledge of the situation who spoke on the condition of anonymity.Russian President V...
