Happy Stories From our customers

Hi Joe,
I love, love, love the ring. Thank you so much for making the process of creating and purchasing this important piece of jewelry as smooth and stress-free as possible. It was a little nerve-wracking purchasing this without seeing it in person, but you were so helpful and prompt with every question I had, and I really appreciate that. The ring pop was a nice touch, too. [] I can’t stop looking at it…

This must mean a lot of pine needles to clean up after the holidays. The largest Christmas tree resides in a little town in Italy. (We just love the shooting star on top!)

Here are some more festive details:

Over the weekend, the tiny town of Gubbio flipped the switch on their annual installation of a giant Christmas tree spread over the hills that surround the city. The holiday display, which has been in the Guinness Book of World Records since 1991, uses some 1,000 lights with the shooting star tree topper requiring 250 more, to light up the slopes of Mount Ingino overlooking the medieval town. According to The Local, the annual display — aptly referred to as the “World’s Biggest Christmas Tree” — stretches over 10,760 square feet, ensuring that Santa’s reindeer will know where to land come Christmas Eve.

What a rock! What a shade of pink! Can you imagine this under the Christmas tree this year?

The Williamson diamond mine co-owned by Petra Diamonds and the Tanzanian government has done it again!

The mine, famously known of producing one of the biggest and most famous pink diamonds that exist – The Williamson Pink – the center piece in Queen Elizabeth’s Williamson Pink Diamond Brooch, is now responsible for one of the greatest finds in the pink diamonds industry – a massive 23.16 carat pink diamond that of “exceptional color and clarity”.

Update: the 23 carat pink diamond was sold for $10.05 Million!

Even though we specialize in high-end jewelry, we keenly understand that it isn’t the gift itself that matters as much but the intention behind it. Think of a young child offering a bouquet of daisies, for instance. It’s a precious gift because of the sweetness underneath it all.

If you’re still thinking of what to give that certain someone this holiday, remember that love comes in all packages that don’t necessarily require money.

How about these free (or really inexpensive) gift suggestions:

Time. For older people especially, a little company goes a long way. If there’s someone in your life that you know could stand some one-on-one time, make a point to sit down with him or her for a cup of tea and shared, kind words. Listen extra attentively (a gift in and of itself).

Letters or cards. While holiday card-giving seems to be waning in our virtual world, everyone likes to get a personalized letter or card in the mail. But kick it up a notch. Don’t just send a signed Hallmark card. Find something special and dare to write a personalized note detailing to the receiver just how important he or she is in your life. Add a little something to it, like a pressed flower or a found feather for an extra creative touch.

Shared meals. Cooking a meal together is a bonding and beautiful experience. If you haven’t scored all the presents you need for your friends and family this holiday, make a date and cook a meal for a small group of loved ones. Allow the guests to share in the process–people generally like taking part in making a meal, even if its just setting the table or taste testing the offerings.

The best part with these suggestions? They remind us that the holidays are about the love we feel for those in our life…something we can’t put a pricetag on!
