We were seated at our table and I noticed a very pretty floral arrangement in the center of theTable. There was baby's breath and a few roses. EveryoneWas chatting and I happened to notice that one of the rosesWas actually a velvet rose bud, not fully blossomed! EveryNow and then I would look at other peoples' tables to see ifThey had the same kind of floral arrangement at their tables,But I couldn't really tell because it was crowded and the rosesAnd baby's breath arrangements were looking all the same.I kept stealing glances at the velvet rose bud but I didn't sayAnything to my fiance or his parents. After our meal, a little3-man German band came to our table and played and sang"Edelweiss", my favorite German song! And then a waitressDressed in German clothing came to the table with a gorgeousMini 3-layer cake decorated with red roses!! Then my fiancePlucked the velvet rose from the centerpiece, got out of hisChair, all the while the band was singing "Edelweiss", and heTook my hand, opened the velvet rose bud and there was aGorgeous diamond engagement ring!!! Then the band finishedSinging and my fiance proprosed to me!!!! Through tear-filledEyes and a huge grin, I said "Yes!!" Everyone in the restaurantClapped and cheered!!

Memories of “Mr. Schubach” – Another Gems From The Heart Story Contest Entry
When
I was a kid I used to ride my bicycle to Tower Plaza Mall. I didn’t
have much money to spend, but there was a video arcade a few doors down from
the Schubach Jewelry Store. When I had exhausted my allowance, I’d
look into the windows of the store, fascinated by the watches and jewelry.A few
years later I became a client. Well, sort of. On my 16th
birthday my mother gave me a 14kt gold serpentine necklace (they were actually somewhat
popular then!). Being a teenage boy, I wasn’t always very careful
with it. It was easy to kink, and I would take it to Mr. Schubach for
repair, not wanting my parents to know how careless I had been. I still
didn’t have much money, and Mr. Schubach would always charge me a
ridiculously low repair fee.As
the years progressed I’d take watches and other items to Mr. Schubach
whenever I managed to mangle another gift from my parents (which always came
with a speech about responsibility). As I began to earn money, first
delivering Penny Savers, then working at Cloth World as a stock boy, and eventually
my big move to Mary Coyle’s as a busy boy and waiter, I started
purchasing inexpensive gifts for Mother’s Day, birthdays, Christmas,
etc., from Schubach’s.What
I remember most about that small storefront at Tower Plaza
is how well Mr. Schubach treated me, with the respect one might a high-dollar
customer. I was an awkward, insecure teenager, and wouldn’t even
enter the store unless Mr. Schubach was working, knowing that I’d be
treated like an adult, in spite of the fact that I had such limited spending
power.I
recall my mother losing a favorite earring – a lapis lazuli drop in a 14kt
filigree setting. She was devastated, as it had been an especially
meaningful gift from my father. I took the remaining earring to Mr.
Schubach, who scoured his catalogues in search of a replacement. He found
a similar pair, which I purchased, and which my mother still wears today.
When
the Schubachs decided to leave Tower
Plaza I felt as thought I
was losing a friend. I’m thrilled to know that Joe has continued
the family tradition, and look forward to becoming a client once again.Warmest
regards,J. David Smith

Citrine – The Kundalini Quartz
Definitions of Citrine:like a citron or lemon; of a lemon color; greenish yellow.But the elegant, energetic quartz Citrine comes in a variety of colors, ranging from pale yellow to brown to orange to reddish brown. Natural citrine (one of the most rare of of the quartz family) is a pale champagne yellow or orange.Citrine is reputed to be one of the most powerful of the quartz family as well. It is often called the "Kundalini quartz" because of its ability to fully activate and spiral all of the energy between your chakras.It is also one of the few minerals on the planet that transmutes rather than absorbs negative energies as well as being considered an "emotional balancer."And if that isn't enough, it also is rumored to help the heart, kidney, digestive tract, liver and muscle, promote creativity and eliminate self-destructive behavior.If you want to start the New Year right with this special quartz or other gems such as Moissanite, then consider Joseph Schubach Custom Jewelry, where you co-create the jewelry of your dreams with us.

Our One-of-a-Kind Blinged Out Bobby Pin
A Piece de Resistance to Any Upscale Do
Joseph Schubach Jewelers – Custom Designed Bobby Pin
The humble bobby pin was invented in 1922 as a way to keep the latest “bob” hairstyles in check. The bob haircut was popularized in the 20’s with silent screen stars like Colleen Moore (below.)
Several years later, Louise Brooks would make waves across the nation with her bold hairstyle:
Bob hairstyles have been in vogue ever since. And with the everlasting, classic trend, the need for a bobby pin.
And while the bobby pins of yesteryear were a remarkable bargain…
Joseph Schubach Jewelers has upped the ante a little and created this dazzling blinged out bobby pin made from sterling silver with a genuine turquoise, diamond and 14kt white gold trim. (It’s a little more than a dime but well worth it.)
This remarkable one-of-a-kin bejeweled bobby pin will be the centerpiece of any hairdo, adding a sense of grace and finesse.
And in a pinch, you could pick a lock with it.
…. on the other hand, you may just want to call a locksmith.

Another Gems From The Heart Story Contest Entry
Ever since I was a little girl, I have been a huge fan of the Pink
Panther. Peter Sellers was so fantastic in that movie. He made me laugh
so hard. I watched every Pink Panther movie that came out. But, even
better then his performance was the magnificent Pink Panther. Not the
cartoon character, the diamond. Oh how I dreamt that one day I would
marry someone as rich as Richard Burton and he would buy me a big pink
diamond ring.
In 2006 the new version of the Pink Panther with Steve Martin came out.
I am a huge fan of Steve Martin. Not only is "Roxanne" one of my
favorite movies but I also have read his books. I was so excited to go
see the movie and my husband and I talked about both versions after we
watched the new one. I told him about my dreams of having a big pink
diamond. So, last Christmas, even though money was tight, my husband
bought me a 3 carat pear cut pink sapphire. Even though it was not a
diamond, it was gorgeous!
I couldn't believe that he remembered my childhood dream. Now I have my
very own pink panther. And he is way better than Richard Burton!

Inauguration Day Fashion and Jewelry News
It
seems that our good friend and colleague Todd Cislo over at Climate
Pearl
has some connections with the Obama Inauguration Celebration.We
asked Todd if he would be our Jewelry Correspondent for the
festivities while hobnobbing with celebrities and dignitaries. We're
hoping he'll find some moissanite
jewelry
or Gemesis
cultured diamonds
in the crowd to report on. If not we're sure he'll find plenty of
other interesting pieces.Todd
Cislo at Climate Pearl, Jewelry Man about TownTodd
Cislo, basking in the radiant beauty of Ashley Judd and her rare South sea cultured pearl necklaceThe
first dazzling star Todd came across was the luminous Ashley Judd
with a stunning set of rare and distinguished South Sea cultured
pearls grazing her neck.South
Sea pearls have a longstanding history of being the hotshot
pearl – large, rare, expensive and deeply lustrous, changing color
and luminescence according to the existing light. Full strands of
matched pearls are even more difficult to find, falling comfortably
in the $100,000 to $300,000 range (with the
perfection in size of these pearls, we’re guessing this
necklace falls in the higher range!)This
kind of pearl comes from the largest and rarest oysters in the world,
the Pinctada maxima, found only in the stretches of ocean in the
South Seas, hence its name. The sensitivity of
this oyster makes the cultivation of these pearls considerably more
difficult and the pearl itself, more expensive than any other.Judd
made a smart fashion choice with this timeless piece, complimenting
the radiant quality of her ivory skin as well as showcasing her
upbeat satiny dress.Satin
and pearls – a classic look on a classic beauty on a special day.Here’s
another classic
necklace
that would have complimented Ashley’s Inauguration Day look. -

My
mom was not the type of woman to own makeup or jewelry, but she did
have a few items my dad had given her in a small jewelry box in her
bedroom. Whenever her and my dad would go out when I was a child I
would sneak into her bedroom and try on this one ring she had, just a
small gold band with a tiny amethyst and a chip of a diamond. She
passed away after battling breast cancer for 7 years when I was 13.
That day I went into her room and put on her amethyst
ring and I’ve worn it every day since (I’m 27 now). It’s pretty banged
up from catching it on doors and I’ve since chipped the stone, but it’s
still a piece of me and I wouldn’t give it up even if I was being
robbed. I wrote this poem about the ring back in college in a creative
writing class and would like to share it with your readers….Small Lady
Tiptoe into her room
A magnificent box
towers over you.
Open the glass door.
Rubies, opals, diamonds
and one small amethyst.
Put it on
small lady
then dance
around the room
spinning, twirling.
Be like your mother
so grown up.
With a ring like that you can do anything.
Put it back
so no one knows
you’ve been there.
Wait till you’re older
they will all say.
Small lady
You’re older now
but are you old enough
to take care of a family
clean your house
cook your meals?
Well you have to be
small lady
because your mother,
she’s gone now.
The cancer
ate her alive.
Go ahead, scream
through piercing silence
that it is not true.
Shatter that glass on the floor.
It will not change the truth.
You are alone now.
Tiptoe into her room again.
Open the glass door
to the magnificent box
that no longer
towers over you.
Go ahead
take out the amethyst.
Put it on.
Can you still do anything
with a ring like that?
Small lady
you are no longer small.
Now you are grown up.
You have to be.
