  • Dan and Diane’s Proposal at the Basilica!

    Dan and Diane's Proposal

    Hey Joe,
    On September 15, 2010, Diane and I took an excursion into Rome from the cruise ship.  Our excursion took us to the Vatican City where we walked through the Vatican museum.  Then we went through the Sistine Chapel, and to St. Peter’s Basilica.  There, in the middle of the Basilica, I pulled Diane from the tour into an open space.  I held her hand and looked her in the eye and said:  “Baby, we’ve seen some of the most beautiful things today, created by the hand of God, but nothing as beautiful as you,” as I dropped to my knee and showed her the engagement ring.  Then I said, “I love you so much, will you marry me?”  She started to cry and said: “I would love to…I love you so much.”  I put the ring on her finger and had a deep romantic kiss as the folks looking on started to clap. That photo was sent to me by someone on the tour.  People we didn’t even know were coming up to us and giving us hugs and kisses.  It was awesome.
    P.S. Thank you Joe, so much for helping me with the ring.  It made a beautiful experience really shine.

    Best regards, Dan

  • New Engagement Ring Style

    We just finished this yummy ring for a local client of ours. It’s new to the line, exclusive to us, and not on the site yet. If anyone wants to ooohhh and ahhhhh over it, give us a call and we’ll ooohhhh and ahhhhh with you!

    We’ve shown it with a couple of matching wedding bands. Seems that having multiple wedding bands is all the rage right now. Also, multiple wedding bands make great anniversary and occasion presents!

    As usual, you can have this ring made with any stone, metal and combination you prefer! Better photos forthcoming.

  • The Gift of Jewelry for Mom

    1. Realize the importance: Moms consider jewelry from a son or daughter to be a prized possession – something to be cherished for a lifetime. Take your time in making this purchase. Check your local jewelers and research jewelry online. Ask other family members for input by sending relevant links, images, etc. And don’t wait until a week before her birthday!

    2. Recognize her style: Jewelry is not one size fits all! If your mother has hundreds of earrings, you might want to consider an engraved necklace or ring. Are her tastes classic or edgy? Is she a practical or romantic sort? (If practical, an oversized piece of jewelry might not be the way to go, for instance.) Look at her wardrobe. Is she a flashy or conservative type? What colors does she lean  toward?

    3. Go ask your mother! There are ways to find out about your mother’s tastes without giving away the secret. Ask about a ring she’s wearing and why she likes it. Take a look through her jewelry box (discreetly, of course!) Again, ask other family members. In short, go to the source.

    Giving the gift of jewelry to your mother is a big deal, simply because it’s from you. Why not make it really special by taking some time to research, asking around and picking just the right piece?

  • 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.

  • A Great Proposal Photo

    Thanks again for all your help. Some of my friends have been asking why I
    went with a jeweler from across the country; it’s because when i started
    calling and emailing around about the tension-set rings, you were by far the
    most helpful, friendly, and responsive. In the end, it didn’t matter that I
    wanted to go with something completely different; I was already sold.

    Best,

    M

  • Om mani padme hum pendants

    Hey Joe,
    This is L’s girlfriend. I wanted to personally thank you for the chain. It’s perfect and is honestly the best birthday present I’ve ever received!
    Thank you again and hopefully Leon can do more business with you in the future :)
    Best Regards,
    A
    Note from Joe: Thanks guys! This is a personal favorite of mine. I got one for my girl several years ago, which is how it ended up on the site, and several of our friends now have them. I particularly like the style of our om necklace, with or without the bling (my girl’s has bling, BTW). Here’s to many years of enjoying this great piece!

  • Mother’s Day Suggestions, Guaranteed to Please

    The heart of a mother is a deep abyss at the bottom of which you will always find forgiveness.  ~Honoré de Balzac

    Jewelry is a gift that is extremely “mom friendly.” It send an extra special message to the mother in your life – one that shows you care enough to think out of the “flowers and candy” mindset.

    Many people (men in particular – sorry guys!) shy away from buying jewelry because they don’t want to buy something that Mom might not like.

    To make life easier, here are a few tried and true pieces of jewelry – ones we know moms like because we sell to them!
