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

Showing Your Love
I love Valentine's Day!
My favorite memory of Valentine's day is when I was a young girl… I have three brothers that I love very much. My mom always said "On Valentine's Day boys buy for girls, girls don't buy for boys." So all of my brothers tried to out do each other in the size and design of the box of chocolate candy. I had big yellow boxes, red boxes, pink boxes, square and heart shaped boxes with ribbons in every color imaginable. I saved them all for a long, long time. I felt very loved by my brothers and still do. Happy Valentine's Day, John, Timothy and Matthew!

Valentine's Day gifts are more sentimental than any other holiday. It's a "one-on-one show your love" occasion.
Here's a couple ideas if you aren't sure what to do for your sweetie.
We've made up a couple of baskets with a 24k. or platinum dipped real rose, there are chocolates and a beautiful strand of freshwater pearls with a sterling silver catch for $99. The baskets look awesome and are a great deal.
Or we have beautiful heart jewelry. Earrings, necklaces, bracelets.
Anyone who splurges on a diamond heart purchased for Valentine's Day will get a platinum or 24k dipped rose, as well. Always specially wrapped, ready for presentation.
What was your all-time favorite Valentine moment? Tell us on Facebook.
See you soon!
