Looking for a creative way to present a beautiful piece of jewelry to your loved one? Here’s one that involves two of our favorite things: jewelry and chocolate. It’s from our prior Current Custom Projects page found here.
We added more diamonds down the sides of the shank and up the prongs and added double claw prongs to B.M.’s ring.
Here is something to think about – your jewelry needs maintenance! Like your cars, your clothing, your fine timepieces, your fine jewelry will also need a little TLC from time to time to bring out the luster and the sparkle and to make it look like new again. Fine jewelry is made from precious metals like platinum, 14kt or 18kt gold, or palladium. These metals are soft and over time they will scratch and scuff and loose their luster. In addition, most of the white gold jewelry made today has a rhodium plating on it to give it that bright white color that we all expect white gold to have. Over time this, too, will wear exposing the off color white gold beneath. The result is a worn, dull and faded looking piece.
In addition, through normal every day wear, your jewelry will build up layers of dirt, soap, lotion, oils, etc. underneath the stones causing them to loose their brilliance looking dull and lifeless.
Not to worry, that’s what our Full Spa Treatment is all about. We’ll give your fine jewelry the attention and care it deserves making it look like new again. The Full Spa Treatment involves a professional polishing, ultrasonic cleaning, high pressure steaming, rhodium plating, and stone tightening when necessary. We’ll also look your piece over to make sure it’s in tip top condition. This is the kind of cleaning and attention you just can’t do at home on your own!
Give us a call or send us an email to arrange for a Full Spa Treatment for your precious jewelry.
Here’s a before and after example of a ring that needed a little TLC.
We’re seeing quite a few of these older cut stones lately – and we think they’re amazing! If only these stones could talk. . . . . . This one belongs to a friend of ours who brought her ring in for the Full Spa Treatment. Looks like new again!
“Sometimes in the middle of an ordinary life, love gives us a fairy tale. When Daniel and Erica met, it wasn’t love at first sight. Instead, it was two nerdy, goofy individuals awkwardly getting to know each other.
However, since it was meant to be, love slowly blossomed until it culminated in an adventure across Thailand. There amidst the beautiful beaches and luscious hill country, a perfectly cut aquamarine was found. Purchased just one week before he proposed, it was to be the center stone of her wedding band and a perfect reminder of where they were when they decided to live life as one.
Throughout the next few months, with love and creative input, that aquamarine was skillfully crafted into a ring as unique as their love.
Just a year later, another adventure was to be had. On a beautiful beach on the Gold Coast of Australia, Daniel placed the finished ring upon Erica’s finger, declaring his love and claiming his bride. While life is now back to ordinary, Erica proudly wears her ring as a reminder that she is still happily in the midst of her lifelong fairy tale.”
Dear Joe,
My wife and I are so glad we used Schubach Jewelers to design our wedding rings. We spent a significant amount of time looking at several rings and none seemed to be the right fit. After we discovered that Schubach provided custom design jewelry, we knew we had found the perfect place. Of course, the design is amazing and Joe paid attention to every detail. Now that the design part was finished, the ring had to be given at just the right moment.
My wife and I decided to have our wedding outdoors near her family’s farm. Knowing we were going to visit her family there, I decided it would be the right moment to ask her the big question. My wife, of course, had no idea.
Early the first morning, I got up, out of excitement and nervousness. I still needed to ask her parent’s permission and make sure everything was just right. Her parents, being the early birds they are, were already up and I asked permission. My wife was still sound asleep.
After talking to her parents, I went into my wife’s room and said it was time to get up, in a playful voice. As she was starting to rise, I began to say the words I had rehearsed so many times. “Being here at the place where we plan to get married…” I started “and knowing that you are the woman I want to spend the rest of my life with…”
I continued to say the words I had so badly wanted to say. Finally, I finished with the big question and she said, “Of course I will!” My wife was so sure and I was so excited to know that this was just the beginning of a life together.

If you’re new to moissanite, this is the perfect way to get acquainted with this amazing diamond simulant. Moissanite is so optically close to diamond that even some jewelers cannot tell the difference without the aid of various tests. Because our moissanite comes from Charles and Colvard, the creators and top manufacturers with the highest standards in moissanite, you can be assured your choice is a smart one.
These earrings are delicate and just slightly ornate. A very romantic, classic look…and a great price!

We just received this information from Charles & Colvard on the new Forever Brilliant moissanite. Thought you might find it interesting!
“In creating the FOREVER BRILLIANT™ gem, Charles & Colvard® hand selects and expertly polishes only the world’s finest moissanite. Then, through a proprietary process using extraordinary, cutting edge twenty-first century technology, Serenity Technologies, Inc. transforms each gemstone to a higher standard of the Gemological Institute of America’s near-colorless spectrum, up to four color grades whiter.
Serenity’s advance treatment technology being applied to Charles & Colvard® created moissanite stones, laser engraved on the girdle with FOREVER BRILLIANT™, is the most advanced whitening technique they provide.
The New FOREVER BRILLIANT™ Whitening process provided by Serenity Technologies, Inc. is NOT A COATING. The improved color of the FOREVER BRILLIANT™ moissanite stone is consistent throughout and has all the properties of the original moissanite.
NOTE: “HAS NO SPECIAL HANDLING REQUIREMENT”
Here are some key facts:
The FOREVER BRILLIANT™ Whitened Moissanite can be recut to a smaller size WITHOUT losing the color upgrade. (Note: if treatment was a coating, the moissanite stone would revert back to the original color)
The FOREVER BRILLIANT™ Whitened Moissanite can be boiled in concentrated acids (Note: if treatment was a delicate coating, it would come off in concentrated acids)
The FOREVER BRILLIANT™ Whitened Moissanite can be exposed to very high temperatures and extreme thermal shock (Note: all coatings will fail under extreme thermal shock)
The FOREVER BRILLIANT™ Whitened Moissanite can be polished using aluminum oxide. (Note: if the treatment was a coating, the aluminum oxide abrasive slurry which has a hardness of 9 would take the treatment off; the moissanite stone would revert back to the original color)”
