Happy Stories From our customers

As we move through December and towards Christmas, one of the most popular months and holidays for proposals, a customer of ours asked what is the most and least popular months to get married.

Hmm…well the first part of her question was easy. We know summer months are the most popular months to get married: June and August specifically. (I guess July is just too dang hot for many. Plus lots of people go on holiday during this time.)

But the least popular month to get married? It got us scratching our heads a little so we turned to the all-knowing Professor Google for more information.

Ready for it?

January is the least popular month to get married.

But January can be a beautiful month! And the start of a new year (what better time to start a new life?).

Okay, the obvious reason is weather, right? At least for many. Who wants to risk a major snowstorm on the day of their wedding? Or a bride slipping on ice in front of a limo? Plus cold weather makes it harder to wear your dream gown. (That strappy wedding gown is much better suited for summer afterall.)

But maybe there’s another reason January doesn’t really work wedding-wise. It’s  a get down to business month. Many are starting diets, work-out plans and new budgets. Doesn’t really evoke big feelings of romance, does it?

We say make the most of your wedding month, whether its popular or not. A winter wedding possesses beauty and romance in its own right.

Aren’t these salt and pepper diamonds simply to die for? We think so.

Most don’t realize the many ways jewelers and gemologists give back to their communities. Take veteran gem cutter Roger Dery, for instance. His family has created a nonprofit org whose sole focus is helping to educate and provide vocational training to East African mining communities. The name of the nonprofit: Gem Legacy.

According to JCK:

Gem Legacy supports several initiatives, including those that increase educational opportunities in gemstone faceting, a trade that hasn’t flourished on the continent, but makes sense for it:

“The employment is sorely needed and has the ability to transform families and communities,” said Dery in a prepared statement.

The nonprofit has currently sets its eyes on a new goal: raising $9,500 to buy and install a used compressor for the Precious Women mine in Kenya, a mine run by local women, many widowed and in need of steady income.

This amount raised by Gem Legacy will make the use of power tools possible (since the female workers currently mine with farming tools).
