Happy Stories From our customers

Romantic diamond heart necklace featuring diamonds and a 16″ cable chain.

When we read this recent piece in JCK, we had to smile. From a jewelry designer’s view, hearts are a long-standing symbol in many types of jewelry, including engagement rings.

But this basic symbol of love is also appearing more and more on the red carpet and on the runway more frequently, including collections by Lizzie Forunato, Brent Neale, Retrouvaí and Carolina Bucci. Stars like Jennifer Lawrence and Charlize Theron embrace the shape of heart in many of their fun fashions.

One friend of mine recently purchased a heart pendant so she could attract love into her life. “I figured by wearing a reminder every day that I wanted more love in my life, it sure couldn’t hurt.”

And why not? The symbol of the heart if powerful and beautiful. And who couldn’t stand a little more love in their lives?

So we stand behind this heart-wearing trend…but for us, it’s always been there!

Margie and Joe –

I am technically challenged and could not figure out how to post to your “customer testimonials”, but I wanted to send you a note letting you know again how touched I am by your attention to what I was hoping to have done to my wedding ring. If there is a way to post this to your testimonials, please do so.

When my husband and I got married, we were young, poor, and had no idea about what to look for in an engagement ring. I found a style I liked, and he purchased it and I have worn it with pride for over 25 years. The prongs were worn down, the gold had worn down to the point of splitting, even. We had visited half a dozen or more different “jewlers” over the last 10 years or so to find out about repairs and possibly adding two diamonds to the setting. Everywhere we went, we were told to just trade it in – get an upgrade!! I always left disheartened – fancy or not, my ring was the one that my husband had given me and it was precious.

When our 25th anniversary rolled around, we started looking again to see if we could at least find someone that could mend the back of the ring and replace the prongs. I was impressed by what I saw on your website and we decided to see what you could do for us. When Margie greeted us at the door, I knew we made the right decision. She not only reassured me the repairs could be done, but she told me she could add the two diamonds as I had hoped.

When we returned to pick up my ring, I could not stop the tears!! It was everything I was hoping for and more and even more beautiful than I had dreamed. As if that wasn’t enough, the cost of the upgrade and the repairs came in lower than her original estimate.

I love that they understood the emotional tie to the ring that my husband gave me a quarter-century earlier. I love that we were made to feel like Margie had been waiting just for us to wander into her store and give her the chance to be part of our anniversary. I love that Joe came out to make sure we were happy and treated us like we were treasured family members.

And I love this beautiful ring – the same ring I have worn for 25 good years; now with some extra sparkle to celebrate those years.

Thank you again so much for all you do.

With the recent passing of former First Lady Barbara Bush, we not only acknowledge her regal beauty and self-command but also her simple and stately sense of style. Has that caused the fashion bloggers to talk non-stop about multi-strand pearls (since Ms. Bush wore them so frequently)?

Or maybe its the surging popularity of The Crown on Netflix wear the Queen wears multi-strand pearls in just about every episode. (They were also a staple accessory of Princess Margaret’s wardrobe.)

Whatever the reason, we fully embrace the trend. Pearls make just about any woman and her outfit that much more special. No, pearls aren’t just for that formal occasion. On runways, oodles of pearls are paired with jeans and t-shirts, adding a certain panache to more common looks.

To experiment with a multi-strand look, may we suggest costume jewelry? The investment is small and gives you a chance to experiment with all its many wonders. When you’re ready, you can move on to the real thing!
