Happy customers

Have you all seen the price of gold? I remember when it was $300 an ounce!  Guess I am showing my age a little. But the point is bring your old gold and silver in ,we are handing out alot of money. Go through that jewelry box again, along with that unused flatware set... out with the old, in with the new! Our customers are very happy leaving the store. Come in anytime we will be glad to help you sort out what you have. A little bit really adds up. See you soon.Kim

SILVER AND GOLD

It is truly unbelievable how high both gold and silver are today! Our customers are constantly telling us that we are paying the most money for silver and gold scrap.  Everyone is paying so much attention to the price of gold, that most are over looking the fact that silver is also at an all time high.  Your grandmother's sterling silver flatware set that most of us do not use, is worth a lot of money. Make sure it's sterling silver and not silver plated. If you are not certain, bring it in.  We do not charge do give an estimate on value. See you soon. Kim    P.S... Time to clean out those jewelry boxes!

Secret Engraving

A customer came in many years ago to pick up his wedding band that he just had engraved. He was in a hurry and his fiance was waiting in the car. When he got back in the car she asked how does it look? He replied "I didn't bother to look at it." She said you better check it out, so he took it out of the box and read the engraving inside,"PUT THIS BACK ON YOUR FINGER..."      Just an idea! Happy spring!! Kim

Add-a-Memory

Does everyone know about the add a pearl necklaces we do? It's a perfect sentimental idea for Aunts, Grandparents or Godparents.

You start with 1,3,5 pearls on a necklace. Then add pearls for occasions like birthdays, Baptisim, Communion and recitals.

Its a great gift because when its finished you have a full strand of beautiful pearls. It's so cool to see young women wear these pearl strands for their wedding.

It's a very special gift and since you're buying 1 pearl at a time, it's really affordable. Building the strand over a lifetime gives it huge sentimental meaning. Which means she'll treasure it that much more. Maybe we should change the name to "add-a-memory."

Black, White and Glitter

This year was the first time I noticed how much they recognized the jewelry at the Oscars. The green emeralds that Reese Witherspoon wore with her classic black and white dress were beautiful.

Next occasion you have to wear black and white, let's do green jewelry. It doesn't have to be emeralds, it can be tsavorites. (Tsavorites are part of the garnet family.) It would be great to have a set with earrings and matching necklace.

I know I would wear them alot.

Love is in the Air

Romance is what its all about! Over the years we have created so many beautiful diamond engagement rings for customers. The truth is I never find out how the proposal occurred.

Do the guys still have to ask the father for his daughters hand in marriage?

Personally, I think guys are more romantic than we give them credit for. Help me steer guys the way you would love. They take suggestion pretty well from experts like me. :-)

What was your engagement story?  If you have a minute share with me. Kim

Happy Valentine's Day
