We’re on a late night treasure hunt, and we found the jackpot!

This week for Thursday’s Treasures, we featuring this breathtaking Le Vian “strawberry gold” cushion cut smokey quartz ring!

Featuring a whole array of desserts, this stunner also has both “chocolate” and “vanilla” diamond accents! The diamonds set in the under-gallery are a beautiful eye-clean variety of white diamonds, forming almost a hidden halo effect. The V-formation split-row of chocolate diamonds flank a singular white diamond on each side.

This all serves to enhance the elongated cushion cut Smokey or mocha quartz center. This center demands attention thanks in part to its chalkboard facets, grabbing every bit of light that comes into contact with its surface.

Even though it’s a modern creation, everything about this ring screams vintage; from the antique cut of the center gemstone, to the claw prongs. However, this ring has a very unique claw prong in one corner, almost forming the shape of the letter “M”.

Can this be an engagement ring? You betcha! In fact, due to its width, it would even make a perfect standalone wedding set! (Don’t get us wrong; it would also look mighty lovely next to your favorite wedding band!)

However, this works as any kind of ring you want it to be!

Skip the calories, and get yourself some chocolate strawberries!

And don’t forget to come see us Thursday, October 22 for our Grand Reopening! We’ll be giving away gold plated roses, gift cards, and a grand prize to be unveiled!

Whitworth’s Gift Chest Jewelers will celebrate our Grand Re-opening, Thursday October 22, and are inviting you to join us!

There will be goodies, giveaways and a grand prize winner!

We also had to share some cool history with you: while going through old photos for our “history showcase,” Dad found this old newspaper clipping.

It was from our grand reopening in our old Valley Plaza location, and check the date:

October 22, 1986!

40 years later to the day, we will once again be celebrating new beginnings in our amazing community! This photo brings back so many good memories with incredible people, and we hope to create new ones with you all!

We hope to see everyone there!

Here are our featured items for the upcoming Daily American Republic October and Breast Cancer Awareness Month issue!

A “wedding set” of morganite rings and a genuine gold plated pink rose!

The first ring is a gorgeous 1 carat Morganite oval halo ring. It works just a well as a right hand ring as it does an engagement ring. The band can be a stackable or a wedding band, and features three beautiful 1/4 carat morganites with a diamond accent between each morganite.

Both rings are set in 14K rose gold, with all natural minded stones sourced from around the world, but cast and made in Israel.

Save big when you bundle any combination, or all three items! Also, contact Matt if you are a survivor or cancer patient for additional deals!

Thursday’s Treasures!

It’s the first day of October, and whether it’s birthstones or Breast Cancer Awareness, this is the month of pink! So, we’re showcasing one of our most stunning pink stone pieces!

A lovely combination of rose quartz and pink tourmaline! It’s massive stone, estimated well over 10 carats for the center stone alone, and can be yours for $750! What’s amazing is that the center stone is comprised of a tourmaline and a quartz that have been bonded together in what’s known as a doublet.

Set in 14k yellow gold and accented with diamond accents, the pink really stands out contrasting with the yellow ring.

We love how the facets are cut inside the stone to give it a unique appearance and interplay with light! You get the great properties of tourmaline with a less costly stone like quartz.

This isn’t a piece you’ll see often, so contact us today!

This week on our treasure hunt, we’re featuring gorgeous sapphire and diamond drop earrings!

These lever back earrings are made in 14K white gold, with inverted princess cut diamond centers in a halo of diamond accents, highlighted by a single princess cut sapphire on each side, giving a splash of color for each earring.

We love how even the hoop portion of the earrings are absolutely sprinkling with diamond accents, and how the sapphires draw your eye!

Value is $1500+ but can be yours today for $650!

This is the only pair like it in stock so contact us today before someone else gets them!
