She would have been happy with supergluing a larger diamond to her ring.
But he thought she deserved more.
More can be a beautiful thing...

It began when he stopped in to repair one of her rings. He hinted at wanting to do something special for her.

After a little time passed, we crossed paths again, and together we sat and discussed alternatives to supergluing a diamond to her ring. But none of us knew what was about to unfold.

I eventually brought in three natural diamonds for her to enjoy. Her eyes widened. It couldn't have been more than a couple minutes, and I glanced over at him as he calmly sits back and pointed at the largest diamond of the three. "I like that one."

There you have it. It wasn't the diamond, it was his way of saying she deserved...more.

But when you have a diamond like this, it deserves only the most beautiful home.

Like so many of my customs, she held the paintbrush. Little things make the biggest impact. The diamond halo finished in hand-cut fishtail prongs. A tribute to his love of the open water, and the creatures that swim below.

A wishbone shank with Blue Sapphires set in platinum. Her request of sourcing a range of blue hues became my priority.

Her influence and vision is showcased throughout every element of this ring; from the color of the sapphires, to combining the vibrant yellow gold with bright platinum accents. A fitting tribute to their journey, their story.

And how does this excting chapter end? From what I'm told, there's a special little granddaughter that only holds the hand with the "sparkly ring".

Something tells me maybe, just maybe, that sparkle will last long enough to grace her hand someday. ❤️💍

What's going to be your "more"?

Almost there!!

To many of you reading this, I thank you. Google Reviews are one of the sincerest forms of saying a job well done.

It's someone taking time out of their busy day to commend a business for their services.

Many business owners will tell you Reviews are the equivalent of an online billboard.

I read through some the other day. You didn't just say, "Nice guy, great value" - you wrote thoughtful, kind, and heartfelt reviews from our shared experience together.

One word.....humbling.

The name of my company "Skyline Gems" was named after my Grandfather's business "Skyline Development" - a large real estate developer in Southeast Wisconsin for over 40 years.

Over the years, I shared a lot of heart to heart conversations with my Grandfather, many of them spent while soaking a worm on his pontoon boat.

I remembered him sharing his thoughts on legacy. Over the course of 40 years, God had blessed him with close, dear friends, a loving family, and a comfortable life.

Being young (and a little naive) I thought the measuring stick for a successful business owner was the amount in someone's bank account. His outlook recalibrated my thinking.

He told me dollars don't represent success. It's the people you help along the way. It's about people helping people. We all need each other. We lean and depend on one another's talents.

Whether its scrambled eggs, a new transmission, or an engagement ring, we all have value. We all serve a purpose.

Those words have carried me throughout my career.

Your reviews tell me I listened.

Thank you again! 🙏

“Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're going to get.....”

The same can be said for diamonds.

That's the personality of this fancy-colored Brown diamond.

Certain lighting environments bring out the varying warm hues trapped inside this 3ct cushion. And that's exactly what she was hoping for.

This was an eyes-of-the-beholder diamond. And oftentimes, it takes a box of chocolates before you know your favorite flavor.

Together, her fiancé and I explored a palette of colored diamonds ranging from ch*****ne and brownish-yellow to fancy-colored Brown hues.

How did she decide?

We put each diamond to the test....and went for a walk.

Outside, in the hallway, in my office, in direct sunlight, under an overcast sky, and in the shadows....let's watch this diamond perform the only way it knows how: blasts of color with a side of fire and sparkle.

Watch the video. You'll know exactly what I mean.

The custom ring design? All her.

A wide flat-surfaced gold band with white half-moon diamond accents.

Boxes of chocolate includes white too 😋

So, which diamond will be your favorite flavor?

You did it Mitch!
My friend Mircea Prejbeanu at 7C's Cafe and Paul's Jewelers has Southeast WI buzzing over his completely innovative business model of blending caffeine, carats, and class!

Mircea combined his passion as a restaurateur and gracious host, with an industry that focuses on relationships and milestones.

How he married all these elements is mind-blowing, and to many, seemed impossible.

Never underestimate a man's willingness to chase his dream.

Visit 7 C's Cafe at the corner of HWY 100 and National. Gold trailer opens daily @ 7am, and the Cafe @ 11am

Normally when you walk into a jewelry store you look for something to wear, not something to drink. Brian Kramp was at Paul’s Jewelers in West Allis seeing why this longtime family business decided to add a coffee to its business plan.

Here's the recipe. 26 diamonds. 6 baguette blue sapphires. 1 emerald-shaped blue sapphire. 8 grams of gold.

I've never been one to follow a recipe, however each of these diamonds represented career milestones, and she didn't want any leftovers.

And the dessert? Upgrading her center blue sapphire.

When the time came to begin cooking this meal, my desk looked very similar to my kitchen....a mess.

Pencils, stencils, calipers, millimeter rulers, leveridge gauge, Gardettos, ( I was hungry ) - scattered about as I tried to lay out the perfect plan and avoid any leftovers.

How did the meal turn out?

I'll let you be the judge.

Ready to cook your sparkly meal?
