Happy Stories From our customers

We’re seeing more and more yellow gold lately!

There are no hard and fast rules to jewelry wearing. But some general rules apply. We like the simplicity of this bit of advice, which is about balancing your overall look with just the right pieces so as not to overwhelm. (Plus it’s easy to remember!)

Tips for Matching Clothes with Jewelry – Women… by GeoBeats

We’ve been working with a client who was working with another jeweler on a very high quality diamond, Triple X (cut, polish, symmetry), GIA graded, but it had a super low price, which we found difficult to compete with. See his comments below.

“Yes, the 1.5ct was ex cut, ex sym and ex polish. They showed me the certificate too because I thought maybe it was labeled incorrectly. Compared to the stone I bought it really didn’t sparkle as much.”

This is a great example of how seeing a diamond, or having someone help you with choosing one, is the best way to buy a diamond rather than relying solely on the paperwork. It would be similar to buying a piece of artwork based only on a typed description. They both need to be experienced! We’re here to help you find the perfect, most beautiful diamond!

Sure, the name isn’t particularly glamorous as, let’s say, a sapphire or a ruby. But don’t let that fool you. The Spinel is all gem, baby.

A traditionally lesser-loved stone, the spinel is fast capturing the attention of the contemporary fine jewellery market. The Hope Spinel sold for £962,500 at Bonhams in September 2015; a new world record for a spinel. The stone once belonged to famous gem collector Henry Philip Hope and had not been on sale for 98 years.

In ancient times, southeast Asia’s mines yielded exceptional large spinel crystals, which became the treasured property of kings and emperors, often passing through many hands as spoils of war. – GIA
