September: Sing the blues!

For all of you born in September, blue is your color... or your birthstone at least! Blue Sapphire is a classic stone with universal appeal. Set with diamonds, the contrast is striking. But think outside the box; sapphires come in all colors- two favorites are Pink Sapphires and Yellow Sapphires.

Looking to get engaged?

Are you or someone you know looking to get engaged?

Now is a great time to purchase that "rock". As car dealerships and furniture stores have developed their own personalized "stimulus packages", so has the diamond industry. Instead of offering you a flat screen TV with your purchase, diamond dealers have simply cut pricing. No gimmicks attached.

We've been in the diamond business for 62 years, and we're seeing great pricing on loose, certified diamonds. The sluggish economy, and certainly with respect to luxury items, creates an environment of competition among diamond dealers and this works to the benefit of the customer.

So, if your looking to pop the question now is a perfect time. Let us help make the experience of finding a diamond a great one. We'll educate you & guide you through the diamond buying process in a relaxed, no pressure atmosphere. Our honesty and integrity is why, 62 years later, we are proudly serving the grandchildren of our original customers.

Check out some of the latest engagement rings given by our customers!

March Birthday? 19th Anniversary?

It's March. And still so much snow!

No need to fear. Aquamarine is the Birthstone for March, as well as the stone to commemorate a 19th wedding anniversary. This beautiful, translucent stone mirrors the hues of beautiful blue waters, and conjures up thoughts of the warmer days to come- hopefully!

Aquamarine is a stone that has universal appeal and looks great when mixed with other stones. Jewelry designers are now pairing it with stones of a darker blue, like Sapphires and Blue Topaz, or with other translucent stones such as Green Amethyst.

February's Birthstone: Amethyst

Amethyst is the tradional birthstone of those born in February.
When we hear "Amethyst" we think of the traditional vibrant, dark purple stone.



Not true anymore! There are two new shades of Amethyst on the block; Green Amethyst and Rose Amethyst. If your February born, but not a fan of purple, step outside the box and try one of these new shades!
Rose Amethyst looks especially stunning in Rose (Pink) gold.

Happy Birthday "January Girls"!

Happy New Year!

First off, we'd like to say congratulations to Jack Bartley, the winner of the foursome to Granite Links!!

Second, happy birthday to all of us born in January.

The birthstone of January is Garnet- a dark reddish, brown stone. Many people do not know that Garnets actually come in all colors except for blue. Not a fan of the dark red/brown stone? Check out Rhodolite Garnet- a very rich, pinky, red stone. This is my personal favorite- as I am a January Birthday.

Traditional Garnet
