First Look: The VOW Collection By Vera Wang and Jared Jewelers
Available exclusively at Jared Jewelers, the collection features 38 engagement and anniversary ring styles, each showcasing high-quality diamonds set in 14K gold. The pieces reflect a minimalist yet modern aesthetic, staying true to Vera Wang's distinctive approach to design. Prices range from $900 to $8,800.
The name 'VOW' is a nod to Vera Wang's personal commitment to doing things differently—bringing originality, sophistication, and intention to every design. The result is a collection that feels both elevated and personal, with elegant details that set it apart.
'I'm proud to introduce this exclusive collection for Jared,' said Vera Wang. 'From carefully designed engagement rings to thoughtfully paired wedding bands, every piece reflects a deep sense of artistry and meaning. VOW embodies the modernity, refinement, and craftsmanship that are core to the Vera Wang brand.'
This launch follows the success of Jared Atelier x Vera Wang, a limited-edition high jewelry collection released in December 2024. That line featured statement pieces with diamonds and rubies up to 150 carats, with select designs priced as high as $125,000.
'Vera Wang is a true icon in the bridal space,' said Claudia Cividino, President of Jared. 'Her vision and attention to detail are unmatched. With VOW, she brings that same level of artistry to a wider audience—creating meaningful pieces that couples will treasure for years to come.'

Reforming NASA: A path to Mars and beyond
Despite everything that is broken and unsettling in the world, America and our great space agency is worth fighting for — and fixing. From the moment Jared's nomination to head NASA was announced last year, the reaction from passionate space enthusiasts and professionals was overwhelmingly positive. Everyone had ideas — big, small, crazy, pragmatic and visionary. It became immediately clear that no other federal agency attracts the level of engagement NASA does. Space captivates people — us included. So, we wanted to share a few of our ideas. Please consider these thoughts just a drop in the sea of ideas that come from many knowledgeable voices who long for humankind's next giant leap. The first step to fixing a problem is admitting we have one. If NASA wants to get back to generating world-changing headlines, we must confront some difficult facts. Every president for the past 35 years has called for a return to the Moon and a path to Mars. More than $100 billion has been spent, yet the return path remains distant and uncertain. Major programs are over budget, behind schedule and often canceled. This wastes opportunities for science and discovery and undermines public confidence in NASA. Similarly, we have maintained a continuous presence in low Earth orbit (which is a great accomplishment). But we still haven't cracked the code on creating the commercial orbital economy. If we don't, humankind's future in space will forever be tethered to taxpayer funding and inefficient government spending. The federal government is entering a challenging budgetary environment. The national debt is exploding, and we can't spend our way out of it. NASA can and must do more with less. Already, NASA isn't getting the most out of its budget — whether it's $20 billion or $25 billion. The agency's leadership has often said, 'If we have 10 healthy centers and take care of people, the science will take care of itself.' By this logic, any CEO with a good human resource department should be as successful as Steve Jobs. This is ludicrous. One of leadership's current solutions to budget pressures is to reduce astronaut crew sizes and mission frequency. Meanwhile, bureaucratic positions proliferate. This is unacceptable. Astronauts — not bureaucrats — are the human identity of the agency. There are too many managers, deputies, assistants and review boards — and not enough doers. Bureaucracy is stifling innovation. The culture must return to being mission focused. We need to empower the best and brightest to make decisions and take calculated risks. Some efforts — such as exploring worlds beyond our own — involve risks worth taking. NASA has also lost its ability to inspire and excite people. The agency's storytelling is fragmented. NASA has numerous social media channels and countless small initiatives that dilute the big, bold mission the agency was established to achieve. NASA must reorganize, cut the bureaucracy and align responsibilities logically with agency priorities alongside a cultural rebirth. We should create engineering and finance strike teams that can identify inefficiencies, solve problems and fix failing programs. Of course we will also need to use what we already have. This means using the Space Launch System vehicles that are already funded to return to the Moon. This being said, Artemis II must get to the pad and launch by Christmas. To get to Mars, we must work in parallel alongside the commercial industry that is pioneering the reuseable heavy lift vehicles. NASA should support the development of reusable systems for routine deep space missions and focus agency resources on the challenges commercial industry will not be capable of solving. Ultimately, we should move beyond Space Launch System. The agency should redirect talent and resources to nuclear electric propulsion. This is the logical evolution for power, efficiency and exploration at scale with dual use potential. NASA needs a mini-Manhattan Project to get America underway on nuclear power in space. In addition to returning to the Moon and going to Mars, NASA needs to develop an industry outreach effort to prioritize high-value science and commercial work aboard the International Space Station. This incredible investment can generate economic returns. The taxpayers alone can't fund the future we all want to see in space. As we mentioned before, a strong commercial orbital economy is imperative. If NASA is operating as it should, we should be able to generate a continuous cycle of amazing scientific discovery. We all love the James Webb Space Telescope, Hubble and the Mars rovers. But we need to launch missions like these frequently. A flagship science program shouldn't have to cost a billion dollars. Administrator Dan Goldin was right. NASA should focus on lower-cost, higher-frequency missions, that accept more risk. Today's commercial space sector makes this model much more viable. This could help enable academic institutions to leverage their $1 trillion in endowments to fund their own extraordinary scientific missions. NASA can be a facilitator and partner in a new age of discovery. These are turbulent times, and budget pressures are real. But delay and defeat are not options. NASA was never meant to be a caretaker of history. The agency was built to make history. China is moving fast with bold ambitions in the ultimate high ground of space. If we fail to be the leader, we will be the follower — and we may never catch up. Jared Isaacman is an entrepreneur, pilot, and astronaut with more than 7,000 flight hours, including ratings in experimental and ex-military aircraft. He is executive chairman of Shift4 (NYSE: FOUR) and co-founder of Draken International, the world's largest private air force, supporting U.S. military pilot training. Newt Gingrich was Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives from 1995-1999 and a candidate for the 2012 Republican presidential nomination. He is chairman of Gingrich 360.

Market sluggishness, dollar & yields, oil: Market takeaways
After Tuesday's closing bell, Yahoo Finance Markets and Data Editor and Stocks in Translation host Jared Blikre shares three takeaways from the trading session: summertime slowness, divergence between the US dollar (DX=F) and Treasury yields (^TNX, ^TYX, ^FVX), and oil prices (CL=F) rising. To watch more expert insights and analysis on the latest market action, check out more Asking for a Trend here. The S&P 500 snaps a six-day record streak as earnings flood in, the Fed decision looms. Here with more on the trading day takeaways, we got Yahoo Finances very own, Jared Blikre. Jared. Hey Josh, we were talking with Amy Silverman before and she called it out, the summer doldrums and I'm going to stick with that because even though we saw a little bit of a loss today in the S&P 500, it was a whopping one-third of one, not even one-third of 1%, and if I show you a two-month chart, it's going to be a whole lot of nothing here. We have not seen a 1% move the entire month of July. If we look to the downside, we had a 1% move way back in the middle of June. So really not a lot has happened each day in the indices. You have to go under the hood to find the action and we have found that from time to time, but I've also been looking at some of the other things uh that we look at when we talk about volatility and that is the VIX itself. The VIX was up almost one point today, but that was the most in weeks. So even the VIX has been quiet lately and at not even 16, that is historically low. So that's nothing to be concerned about or write home about. And we can also see this playing out in the MAG 7. The MAG 7 index hasn't moved 1% in a few weeks. And then finally, crypto, even crypto is quieted down, not to the same degree, it's still more volatile than the others, but here's a Bitcoin down 7/10 of 1% today. I'll just show you over the last five days, it's been moving less than 1% these last few days and so that even that's unusual for a Bitcoin. So the bottom line is we do have some other things like the calendars about to heat up tomorrow. No joke there and we can get into that later. But for today, yesterday and for most of the month, it's been kind of summer doldrums. Summer doldrums broadly subdued. But what were the what were the market moves you were watching today? Two things, rates in the dollar and they were diverging. So we had rates dropping pretty strongly to the downside, both the 10-year yield, both and the 30-year yield, those dropped by about nine basis points and part of the catalyst has been these surprisingly good uh treasury auctions. So we had a seven-year auction today. Here's a 10-year, we had the seven-year auction, but here's a 10-year down nine basis points to the downside and we can see it went down in a few different strokes. Here's the intraday and there we go. 1:00 p.m. was the auction time, but we also had some other auctions over the last two days, the two-year and the five-year. And then we have the three, 10 and 30-year, those are the big ones next week. But surprisingly high demand on the seven-year. This led to a re uh a lower a much lower rate and then meanwhile, and here's the divergence I'm talking about, up in the US dollar index and I find this to be good. You want to see this divergence when the dollar is moving to the upside. If it had happened the other way around, if the dollar had been going down, but rates had been going up, which meant people were selling bonds, that would be more like around liberation day and that would give me some cause for concern. This is not concerning to me, uh just a little bit of an anomaly there and we'll have to see what happens tomorrow, but again, those big auctions that we were going to be watching for are next week. Does that demand continue? There was record low primary dealer uptake on those auctions today. They're supposed to fill in the void, they didn't have to do that, so that's good news for America, I guess. What about commodities, my friend? All right, let's check that out too because we did see a spike in crude oil today and this was despite that stronger, slightly stronger dollar. Now the news was actually pretty big. This was a surprise announcement from Trump that Russia only has 10 days to negotiate a final ceasefire with Ukraine and we saw this play out in crude oil. I think it moved, yes, seven and a half percent. This is crude oil volatility. Let me get to crude oil itself. There we go. This is about 4% to the upside. Here is the announcement time and yes, that is a pretty dramatic uh move for crude oil. If I show you the year to date, you're going to see this was the biggest spike. Here was the Israeli strike on Iran that we saw. So not nearly that big, but again, notable and uh anytime crude oil moves big, you want to take notice, but since this is in the classification, what I would call a geopolitical shock and not even as big as this and this was immediately given back. Those gains were given back pretty close uh to the time at which they were forged. Um I'm not too worried about this either, but something to look, you know, into the future. Quickly, what what is on the Jared Blikre radar? Oh well, tomorrow we got Fed day. We got some MAG 7. We got four MAG 7 reports into and these are earnings reports into uh what is it? Thursday, culminating with Apple at 4:30 on Thursday. Um we got those big treasury auctions next week. So I think there's a lot to really Oh, and the Fed meeting. Did I say the Fed meeting? Anyway, we got a big Fed meeting tomorrow. So plenty of stuff to cover your calendar and to move the markets. Maybe we'll see a 1% day in the S&P. We shall see. Thank you, buddy.
