Happy Stories From our customers

In light of recent allegations that mega company Signet Jewelers has frequently swapped real stones for fakes when customers brought their jewelry in for repairs, we wanted to take a moment to highlight the importance of smaller jewelers like ours, where trust is built into the very foundation of our business.

Joseph Schubach is a third generation jeweler who has been immersed in the jewelry business since he was a child. With decades of experience in both jewelry design and customer service, Joe’s ultimate goal is to give all his clients a shopping experience that’s easy, trustworthy and rewarding.

From Joe:

Jewelry is an incredibly personal purchase. It’s important that all our customers receive the guidance and support they need to make the right jewelry decisions. There are several principles that my father taught me that his father taught him. These principles are as timeless and true today as they were back in the early 1900’s:

• Always treat people with the utmost respect.
• Provide excellent service and the best value possible.
• Stay true to your word since your reputation is all that you really ever have.

At Joseph Schubach Jewelers, we continue to hold these fundamentals with the highest regard. They continue to be the centerpiece of our business philosophy, something we consider a must in today’s high-speed, low-touch world.

So the next time you think of a jewelry purchase, consider a smaller Scottsdale-based company whose very reputation is built on trust, impeccable service and design.

Our customers frequently ask, “How do I keep my jewelry clean?” Well, unfortunately, there’s no one answer (because much depends on the metals and gems of your particular piece as well as your average usage).

Gold has its own particular “rules” which were recently detailed in June’s InStyle magazine.

1. Create a mild cleaning solution with warm water and a few drops of liquid dishwashing soap.

2. Soak the piece for 15 minutes.

3. Gently scrub the piece with a soft-bristle toothbrush to reach every nook and cranny.

4. Rinse with warm water.

5. Blot dry with a soft cloth and let air dry.

We like the simplicity!

Oh…and don’t forget: keep your gold jewelry (as well as other types) away from chlorine bleach, which will discolor metals over time.

We love style expert Lindsay Albanese and have featured her on our blog several times in the past. She’s pumped about jewelry and offers up quick and easy advice that you can apply to your style today.

In this YouTube video, Lindsay talks with special guest, model and actress Molly Sims on how to layer jewelry, mix things up, and have fun with the jewelry you have.

Remember: take chances and don’t get stuck in the same, old jewelry-wearing rut.

Today, wear something in your jewelry box you haven’t worn in a long time!

At the risk of full disclosure, our temperatures (in Scottsdale, Arizona) are usually pretty darn hot year-round. But that doesn’t mean we don’t still love the concept of summer jewelry. Summer jewelry gives the wearer the opportunity to take bolder chances (especially with color) and express a more relaxed side of her personality.

This summer 2016, one type of jewelry is certainly hot, hot, hot: tassels.

Here are a few examples to get you into the summer groove:
