Happy Stories From our customers

We’ve often given you, our reader, a sneak peek into the upcoming season’s color schemes. And as the skies darken earlier and rain turns into snow in many part of the country, looking at Spring’s colors-to-be can be a bright spot to your day!

The spring 2012 color trend is influenced by “renewed energy, optimism and the promise of a brighter day”.

The colors for this season reflect a variety of moods with a mixture of sunny brights, light-hearted pastels, and gentle neutrals.

Here are the ten Pantone colors for Spring 2012:

Spring 2012 Color Palette

Top row, left to right:

• Cabaret (an intense rose)
• Driftwood (a weathered blend of gray and beige)
• Bellflower (an ornamental purple)
• Cockatoo (a light hearted blue-green)
• Tangerine Tango (a juicy orange).

Bottom row, left to right:

• Margarita (a tangy yellow-green)
• Sweet Lilac (a gentle pink-lilac)
• Solar Power (a bold cheery yellow)
• Starfish (a warm-weather neutral)

I shall steal this line from the old classic Christmas movie: ‘Yes Virginia, there is a SantaClaus’………….but his name is Joe Schubach!!!! He and his team created a stunning moissanite ring for me!!! Breath-taking is the only English word to describe my classic beauty. I wanted a solitaire and I got the perfect solitaire!! Canary yellow 10mm cushion (my new FAV cut for sparkle) set in 14kt ‘buffed’ white gold. BTW: ‘buffing’ the white gold (a brilliant suggestion from Beth) makes it look SOOOOOOOO much like platinum!!!!

I have tried many ‘diamond’ substitutes since needing to sell my diamond ring years ago…My search is now over and my moissanite is MUCH prettier than my long ago diamond…My Schubach people are my new friends and I am happy !!!!!!

Beth is helpful, knowledgeable and just fun and kind to work with. She has a sense of beauty and what will work in jewelry.

My stone was worth the wait!!!!

Sincerely, CA

Sara! Just to let you know that my ring arrived earlier than anticipated.  My fiance and I think the ring is absolutely beautiful.  Love the clean lines of it and the dazzling sparkle!  We took a chance to order it online as my daughter H. L. bought her engagement ring from you and I had admired it very much and also the quality.  We would have come in but job schedule was complicated.  You also resized an engagement ring for H. that was given to me by her  late father and did a great job of it.  So felt confident that we would have a quality ring and service.  Thank you so much!  C. :) Happy

It looks like the well-known and prestigious Christie’s auction house in London is no longer for the special few in attendance. Christie’s will be auctioning off several of Elizabeth Taylor’s pieces online as well as in-house. And although they’re calling it a “online-only sale”, I have a sneaking suspicion it won’t be cheap!

The two-week online sale will run concurrent with the live auctions. This marks the first time that the famed auction house will host an exclusively online addition to a private collection.

Christie’s has hand-selected more than 500 fine and costume jewelry items for the online-only sale, including exceptional Art Deco-era jewelry and an array of signed jewels by Cartier, Chanel, Christian Dior, and Ruser, among others.

Through a special engagement with the luxury fashion retailer Moda Operandi, Christie’s will offer prospective shoppers a sneak peek at a selection of highlights from the online-only sale starting Nov. 14 at shop.modaoperandi.com/ElizabethTaylor. Beginning Nov. 18 the full complement of online-only lots will be available for viewing at Christie’s website at christies.com/etonlineonly.

“To ensure the full breadth of the collection is accessible to collectors worldwide, Christie’s has taken the innovative step of adding this special, online-only component to our live auctions, so that bidders from around the world can participate in this landmark two-week-long event,” Marc Porter, chairman and president of Christie’s Americas, said in a statement.

The first piece is a diamond-encrusted necklace with 12 golden pearls mounted in 18-karat white gold, estimated at $200,000 to $300,000.
