OBSESSIONS. DECORATIONS. SALIENT FACTS. Tenenbaum Jewelers' BOLD MOVE I t's been six years since dashing duo Tony Bradfield and Kevin Black took over the reins of august estate jeweler Louis Tenenbaum on Post Oak Boulevard, buying it lock, stock, and beryl. Their vision for the business is taking shape in spectacular fashion. As firm believers in community, Bradfield and Black have donated a mind-boggling amount to worthy nonprofits and medical and cultural institutions. This year, they strategically acquired bridal jeweler Queen of Heirs and antique jeweler Past Era, T he PaperCity digital team is in place. Chad Miller, our former group associate publisher who left eight years ago to help launch and grow digital media start-up CultureMap, has returned to PaperCity. As president of the newly formed UPI Digital, LLC, Miller joins two additional Culture Map alumni, digital director Chris Baldwin and social and style editor Shelby Hodge — who, as a team, were responsible for the high-traffic numbers at CultureMap during their tenure. Together, these three will form the leadership for PaperCity's web and social media initiatives. Miller is charged with creating and establishing promotional and native advertising initiatives and growing digital efforts by focusing on city-specific relevance. Hodge, in addition to her digital presence, is Houston social and style editor for PaperCity magazine. MAPPING PaperCity's Digital Future which gives Tenenbaum Jewelers one of the largest collections of designer, estate, bridal, and antique jewelry in the country. Stocking vintage signature jewels and time pieces from David Webb, Cartier, Tiffany & Co., Buccellati, Chopard, Bulgari, Chanel, Van Cleef & Arpels, and Patek Philippe, this megawatt inventory was in need of a new home. Bradfield and Black tapped Gensler to design a stunning new store on Westheimer perched proudly between River Oaks District and Highland Village Shopping Center, which at 8,500 square feet has three times the showroom space than their previous Post Oak location. Years in the making — and open as of November 19, just in time for Santa baby to stop in — the two- story emporium has 300 linear feet of sparkling showcases; a salon for hosting lectures, trunk shows, and luncheons; and discreet meeting rooms to accommodate jewelry and custom- design consultations.
