Happy Stories From our customers

While we don’t believe much in superstition here at Joseph Schubach Jewelers, we couldn’t help but smile at this very particular survey.

Bad juju?

 

British website comparejewellery.com researched what it calls the “unluckiest engagement ring”—the ring most commonly worn by brides whose marriages end in divorce. 

The site asked 1,812 women age 18 and over, all separated or divorced, about their engagement ring. According to the site, the ring with the worst juju has a white gold band with a large square-cut stone and diamonds on shoulder. It costs an average of £822.30 ($1,341.09).

“The ring itself is both incredibly beautiful and a popular style, but maybe that will change once people know its somewhat unlucky reputation,” said Ali O’Neill, head of product at comparejewellery.com, in a statement.

Bad luck or no, more than a third (35 percent) of respondents still claimed to wear their engagement rings even after their marriages ended.

Well we have a special diamon fairy that blesses each engagement ring with long-lasting happiness, so not to worry if you choose your ring from us!

As we move toward the end of 2013, I reflected on the jewelry in our collection that represents passages, journeys. Whether its through a challenging year or a relationship, journey jewelry is a way to tell the receiver that you understand her particular path and the various stages she has gone through.

So instead of buying just any jewelry for a loved one, think in terms of its symbolism. Jewelry is a powerful way to honor a woman’s life, with all of its intricate passages.

Here’s one of our finest examples.

Work parties often require a little balancing act when it comes to dressing. You can’t just let it all “hang out” but you can take some liberties you wouldn’t normally. Often jewelry is a perfect answer, since it can jazz up a basic outfit (like that simple black dress) quickly and easily.

For office holiday parties, it’s important to not show off too much skin. While a sleeveless dress is perfectly appropriate, it’s best to keep the hemlines at or just slightly above the knee, and necklines away from any cleavage situations, however, don’t despair over finding a more covered-up look! Using lace as a kind of peek-a-boo element at the shoulders or the hemline is a great way to be stylish and formal, while also work appropriate. Lace also adds a rich texture to any garment that’s great for the holidays, and a great alternative to this season’s sequin embellished frocks that might be too formal for an office affair.
