  • Saundra’s Sweetness Ring

    The Client’s Story:

    I looked everywhere for a ring that I truly liked and wasn’t getting anywhere. I wanted something with side stones that looked delicate and feminine. Most pieces looked too plain or bulky. After I found a design I liked in diamond, I asked Joe to recreate it in moissanite. He did an even better job than I could have hoped for. I had been a part of the design process every step of the way, so when my boyfriend pulled out the ring box, I was not surprised.

    I was surprised, however, to find a fake rubber grow-a-ring in the box (thanks, Joe)! My boyfriend then told me that the ring was somewhere in the apartment. Knowing that I would never find it I gave up and decided to grow the fake ring in water. I got a cup out for the fake ring and gave it to my boyfriend to hold for a second. He gives the cup back but this time with the real ring inside! It was very cute:) Oh, and I still grew my fake ring. It gets to the size of a bracelet!

    The ring is absolutely amazing and it more than I could have ever asked for. My experience with you and your company has been nothing but joy. Is there a place I can put a stellar review for you or anything? I’ve already talked you up to all of my friends;) Thank you so much for everything!

  • Quick and Easy Jewelry Tips

    I found this article to contain some easy tips on purchasing costume jewelry (it’s not all created equal!) and jewelry/fashion matching.

    Here are some guidelines to follow when choosing a new piece of jewelry:
    1. Quality: Even inexpensive costume jewelry can be well-made. However, it can also be shoddily put together. Inspect the jewelry and look for the following:
    Are any scratches, stones missing, or chips?
    Is the setting sturdy?
    Will it bend and dent easily?
    How are beads and gems strung together? On cheap elastic or sturdy wire?
    Is it flexible?
    Are the gemstones glued into settings or set with prongs?
    2. Signed vs. Unsigned Jewelry: When purchasing costume jewelry purchasing a signed piece means it comes from a specific designer. Remember that buying designer jewelry does not guarantee better quality!
    Like clothing, sometimes designer-wear is more about the name than the quality of the item. Signed vintage pieces of jewelry can cost an arm and a leg more than unsigned pieces.
    However, you can often get the same look and excellent quality with an unsigned bracelet or pin. Check for quality, and don’t get hung up on names, whether buying a vintage piece of a new piece of jewelry.
    3. Do your research. Are you a person who cares about the latest trends? Check fashion magazines to spot what’s new in the world of accessories. If purchasing a piece online, check out the dealer or the artisan’s reputation.Are previous customers happy with the quality or the product?Did the jewelry arrive just as described?
    Also, don’t purchase jewelry that does not accommodate your lifestyle. Choose styles that will accentuate your style without compromising comfort.
    Bright jewelry stands out best against black or grey clothing. Choose rubies, turquoise, or bright-colored beads to accessorize a simple black outfit.
    Silver works best with cool-colored clothing while gold works best with warm-colored clothing. Silver looks beautiful with blues and greens while gold coordinates well with browns, reds, and yellows.
    Lower-cut shirts and dresses call for a beautiful necklace. Turtlenecks and cowl-necked sweaters look too heavy with a necklace; consider a pendant or a delicate pin instead.
    Earrings that dangle are for evenings out; at the office, earrings should never fall more than an inch below the earlobe. Studs and small hoops work best with suits and professional attire.
    A patterned outfit calls for simple jewelry. A plain gold chain and bracelet is a great way to accent a colorful dress. With jewelry, less is always more. If the piece isn’t adding anything to your outfit, save it for another day.

    Just wanted to let you know that as I am typing this I am wearing the ring of my dreams. It came in today and all the girls at work oooed and ahhhed over it. It is amazing. One of a kind and absolutely gorgeous. Thank you so much for being so professional, knowledgeable and courteous. I will definitely be in contact with you soon to get Ryan’s wedding band.

    Thanks again you and your company are an absolute pleasure!

  • I LOVE the necklace!!! Better yet, Catherine LOVES it!!

    Here’s a custom jewelry project with a long history. Christine and I have been friends since grade school. We attended Tavan Elementary, Ingleside Middle and Arcadia High schools together. Christine’s parents were customers of my father’s and for Christine’s high school graduation, her parents had a gold and diamond initial pendant made. Now, a “few” years later it’s Christine’s daughter Catherine who is graduating.

    So Christine contacted me several weeks before the big day to talk about carrying on the tradition. Her idea was to do something a little more updated; have the piece made in white gold rather than yellow gold and to update the type style somewhat. In addition, she wanted to make it even more personal and special by incorporating diamonds from her collection along with diamonds from her sister, Daphne’s collection (Daphne also received a diamond initial for her high school graduation). The results are below. Click on the images to see larger versions.

  • Your unexpected thoughtfulness touched my heart.

    Hi Beth,
    Your unexpected thoughtfulness touched my heart. My name’s V., you assisted my now-fiance M. in picking and delivering my dream ring. He gave me the ring earlier this week. I hold it up to look at it every other minute or so! I ADORE IT!! Its simple, it glitters, its feminine and comfortable. Actually we both love it, and M. is definitely pleased knowing that the hunt is over, no more bald spots from tearing his hair out(totally kidding). No easy task, website after website. Completely pleased with himself he told me about his search. He was going to take all the credit but he humbly confessed how utterly simple you made it for him. He mentioned how patient you were with him as he rambled on about the ring in his head vs the hundreds of rings he had seen. Thank you for going above and beyond. Thank you for guiding him and making him feel valued even with the limited budget you provided so many options. We look forward to continue to do business with you when we buy the bands as well as upgrade the center stone ;)

    Very Sincerely,
    V.

    Thanks,
    Adam

  • Moissanite Testimonial – We Couldn’t Have Said It Any Better!

    (regarding a custom moissanite engagement ring)

    Hi Beth,

    I wanted to give you an update.  I got engaged recently and my fiancee
    absolutely loves the ring.  There’s just one problem — her co-workers
    are a little jealous!  The moissanite is so sparkly and the ring looks
    a little too good.

    We decided to go to the mall to see what kind of wedding band would
    look nice with it.  In the first store we went to, the woman asked if
    she could clean the ring.  We said sure and we were both nervous that
    somehow the woman would know it wasn’t diamond and would say something
    but she didn’t say anything or seem suspicious.  At the next store,
    which even used to sell moissanite, the employee was taken aback when
    he saw the ring and said “oh, wow!”  He put a normal diamond wedding
    band next to it, but it looked dull in comparison so he steered us
    toward their most expensive wedding bands.  We took the ring to
    Tiffany’s and they asked us if it was a Tiffany Novo ring.  The only
    diamond ring we saw that could compare to the moissanite was an actual
    Hearts on Fire.  I guess it’s just the way they cut it.  Nobody had
    any idea that her ring was anything other than a very high quality
    diamond ring.

    We’re in the process of choosing a wedding band to go with it and
    we’re planning on having either pink moissanite or pink sapphire in
    it. . . .
