We’ve said it before: jewelry is a highly personal choice. And not just because it signifies love and personal taste. You also will be wearing the jewelry frequently (we hope) and it has to fit your particular lifestyle. (Think of the jewelry you don’t wear as frequently because its uncomfortable or hard to put on.)

Rings–especially engagement rings and wedding bands–need to be particularly comfortable. Consider the frequency that you use your hands. That ring is always coming along for the ride, right?

Here are some pointers if you’re looking for a beautiful and comfortable ring:

• Thinner bands tend to be more comfortable. (Simply put, there’s less weight on the hand.)

• Comfort-fit wedding bands are a little more expensive than non-comfort-fit wedding bands (because of the extra metal required to make the inside of the ring domed) but they are built for comfort.
  

• Some pave rings can have a “rough” feel that may or may not suit you. The same applies with rings with side stones. Try one on a wear for a little while. You can tell quickly whether a pave ring will be right for you.

• Habituation helps. Over time, most pieces of jewelry will grow on you. If there’s a blingy ring you simply must have, don’t deny your heart! Give it some time and soon, that ring will feel like a natural extension of you.

• Talk to us. We understand the importance of a comfortable ring and exact sizing. Let an experienced jeweler (insert us here) guide the way and you’re that much closer to a comfortable fit.

If you’re looking for a completely unique gift this holiday, our recently acquired pyramid necklace is a gift for the ages.

So what does a pyramid symbolize?

The pyramids were tombs for the kings of ancient Egypt. They represented the power of the royalty entombed within. (The bigger the tomb, the more powerful the king, basically.)

The actual shape of a pyramid is said to represent the rays of the sun.  It is also said to symbolize the “primordial mound” –  the first earth to rise from the waters of chaos.

In this jeweler’s eyes, it’s a another amazing symbol of strength and power of eternal love.

The story of how Cyber Monday came to be is an shining example of smart marketing. Marketer Ellen Davis used the term in a press release entitled “‘Cyber Monday Quickly Becoming One of the Biggest Online Shopping Days of the Year.” And voila, so it came to be. Did Ms. Davis know that it would become one of the biggest shopping days? Probably not. But stating it in a headline brought it that much closer to life. Marketing, from the outside in.

So what is the difference between Black Friday and Cyber Monday?

According to Wikipedia:

The deals on Cyber Monday are online-only and generally offered by smaller retailers that cannot compete with the big retailers. Black Friday generally offers better deals on technology, with nearly 85% more data storage deals than Cyber Monday. The past Black Fridays saw far more deals for small appliances, cutlery, and kitchen gadgets on average than Cyber Monday. Cyber Monday is larger for fashion retail. On the past two Cyber Mondays, there were an average of 45% more clothing deals than on Black Friday. There were also 50% more shoe deals on Cyber Monday than on Black Friday.^[4]

Since we humbly consider ourselves one of the smaller retailers, take a moment to peruse our Cyber Monday sales:
