Happy Stories From our customers

It’s a certain type of couple that go for winter weddings, especially those in those area where that white fluffy icy stuff falls from the sky (we live in Scottsdale, AZ; we forget the name). But one thing for sure? Winter weddings add a certain beauty that’s completely undeniable. Its a symbolic reminder that love burns bright even during the coldest, darkest hours. And heck…it’s just plain pretty.

While we’re busy supplying the perfect jewelry gift to you and your loved ones this holiday, take some time to make sure your home is balanced and calm.

Feng shui is the Chinese art of creating harmonious surroundings that enhance the balance of yin and yang (masculine and feminine forces), such as rearranging furniture or designing a home…or decorating for Christmas.

According to Feng shui expert Rodika Tchi:

Even though using Fire element colors, such as red, purple and strong magenta are highly advisable in order to warm up the energy of your home in the cold season, do not forget about the main feng shui principle of balance.

If you have an unbalanced/too strong of a Fire feng shui element during Christmas season – which happens in many homes with an overwhelming amount of red colour – you risk creating an energy that promotes burn-out and even emotional outbursts.

To think, family conflicts so common during the holidays season could be adjusted with a little feng shui…or at least we hope!

The takeaway: balance out the strong feng shui created by the bolder red shades this season by using light blue, cool silver or a calm white colors.

There are toys…and then there are Toys with a capital “T.”

In case you’ve been hiding under a rock, Star Wars revisits our planet this December with The Force Awakens. And with it comes a slew of merchandise to support the release.

The Blingiest Star Wars Award goes to this amazing piece. Disney Consumer Products teamed with Kay Jewelers to re-create the movie’s newest droid, BB-8 (in gold and diamonds). The production took over 600 hours. The piece is appraised at $135,000 and will be auctioned off this month after being displayed at the Force 4 Fashion exhibit in New York. Proceeds from the auction will go to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. (Source: Glamour)

When it comes to necklaces, we can’t tell you how often we hear, “Is it easy to put on?”

Let’s face it: if a necklace is continually difficult to hook, you’re simply less likely to wear it. It then finds a home at the bottom of a pile of jewelry in your box, gathering dust.

Popular YouTube star “Hot and Flashy” comes up with several solutions so you don’t have to be plagued with futzing around behind your head trying to connect two small parts.

We love Pantone’s Color of the Year! It feeds us with all sorts of colorful inspiration for new custom design jewelry pieces. This year, we got two for the price of one.

It looks as if Pantone has taken into consideration the tumultuous climate of today’s world and chosen a combo that creates a sense of calm and serenity. From their press release:

“As consumers seek mindfulness and well-being as an antidote to modern day stresses, welcoming colors that psychologically fulfill our yearning for reassurance and security are becoming more prominent. Joined together, Rose Quartz and Serenity demonstrate an inherent balance between a warmer embracing rose tone and the cooler tranquil blue, reflecting connection and wellness as well as a soothing sense of order and peace.”

Stay tuned for jewelry updates. We’ll find just the right pieces to compliment these fine colors.
