Happy Stories From our customers

When I reviewed this year’s trends in jewelry, I couldn’t help but feel a little relieved. Why? They seemed manageable! Customers should be able to partake in these trends and sometimes, if they’re too far-fetched (some of the more outrageuous statement necklaces, for instance), I just don’t see the average Jane donning them, especially in Scottsdale.

But as you’ll see from JCK’s list, many of the items are affordable and not too over-the-top.

Here’s an example:

Subtle Drop Earrings. They make a slightly bigger statement than last year’s studs—widely worn on the red carpet—and coordinate with many a fashion silhouette, so the petite drop earring is a style to watch this year. They also made a splash on the red carpet in 2012 at the Golden Globes, and will nicely complement spring’s full skirts, and romantic and flouncy effects.

Beth !!!!

I can not even find the words to describe how beautiful this ring is!!! I literally can’t take my eyes off of it! It’s stunning! Every detail was executed with perfection. The craftsmanship is impeccable. The delicate details of the twist & millgraining are breathtaking. The stones are more brilliant then the stars in the sky. This ring encompasses every romantic love story I’ve ever heard. This will be an family heirloom for sure.  It is exactly what I had imagined multiplied by 10.

It can be unbelievably stressful working on something so dear to your heart over the Internet. Especially while planing a destination wedding on a very tight budget. I thank GOD that I found you guys! I will always remember this journey & your kindness when we needed it most. Beth you are incredible! Your advise, patience, understanding & expertise is second to none. You made my dreams come true like a fairy godmother.

Thank You, Thank You, Thank You for doing such an unbelievable job!

This morning, I perused several articles extolling the latest and greatest fashion and jewelry trends for 2013. Geometric shapes, rose gold, color blocking…the list goes on.

It got me thinking: how can you create style resolutions that suits you and not the latest trend?

1. What don’t you like about your current style? We all have “fall-back” fashions–those things we wear that are easy to toss on but not the most flattering. Maybe its time to donate those clothes to charity and move on to clothes that show off the best in you. As a matter of fact, revisit your closet and truly ask yourself if that dress really does suit you or if that blouse fits well. If not, let it go, like 2012.

2. What clothing or jewelry would you like to add? Most of us harbor an inner wish list of fashion items we really want but just haven’t purchased them yet. Maybe it’s a romantic necklace or a pair of sexy boots. This year, allow yourself those purchases. You only go around once!

3. How can you “grow up” your wardrobe? If there are items that represent you ten years ago, what does that say about your personal growth? We often hang on to styles that we’ve outgrown because of nostalgia or just plain laziness. This year, choose fashion that fits the 2013 you.

It’s easy to be lead around by the latest trends, but you have a personal style that is distinctly your own. With that said, even that can be revised and improved not because of external pressure, but just because it will make you feel good this upcoming year.

We love the way jewelry enhances beauty. Heck, we’ve built a business based on it. But on this last day of the year, let’s talk about the ways you can turn on your inner brilliance. Seriously, these easy steps can re-align you energetically so you simply look more relaxed and naturally beautiful.

1. Breathe. We hear it but don’t take the time to do it. Spend 3 – 5 minutes focusing only on deep, diaphragmatic breaths and full exhalating. Clear your mind of nagging thoughts. Deep breathing is a natural de-stresser and oxygenizes your system, making you look and feel more refreshed.

2. Count your blessings. Most of us are in a constant state of focusing on what we want and what we don’t have. But if you start your day doing a quick inventory of what you do have, your perspective shifts. A positive attitude based in gratitude naturally destresses and allows your inner diamond to shine.

3. Take in the air and light. Even if it’s cold where you are, a quick walk energizes and stimulates your entire system. It also makes you feel more connected with your body. Sunshine (not too much of it) naturally makes you look and feel better as well.

4. Water, water, water. Holidays are often a time of excess. Why not give your body a break? First thing in the morning, before coffee or food, drink a glass of water. Tonight at that party, remember to alternate between your beverage of choice and just plain water. A hydrated body always shows.

For 2013, remember that beauty always starts from the inside. When you feel healthy and stress-free, it shows. You, like our diamonds, simply radiate!
