(206)

Our mission is simple - we want to be the best full service jewelry store in the world. Currently we're settling for Western New York, but just give us time. Our store is focused on providing exemplary service and the absolute best value for all of your jewelry needs. We'll work hard to gain your trust, and even harder to never lose it. This extends to everything we do, from appraisals, to sales, to buying your unwanted jewelry at honest market pricing. We don't have a store front, but prefer instead to welcome our customers as guests into our spacious office suite. We don't buy into the notion that buying fine jewelry should be intimidating, and we certainly don't believe that the best prices are on the net or in a big chain. We also don't sell mass produced pieces of jewelry. Our philosophy is that jewelry is an intensely personal thing and each piece is handpicked by owner and Graduate Gemologist Barbara Oliver for quality of the gems and craftsmanship. And when you want to explore your inner artisan, we'll work with you to create a custom piece that is yours and yours alone.

Who says family jewelry has to be boring? Stephanie wanted her original engagement diamond to signify her and hubby Nick, along with October and Septembers birthstones for her daughters. Yellow gold, mixings shapes just like the personalities of the two cuties, we made a bit of familial classy chaos that is both fun and functional, and above all, Stephanie can wear her pride and joy on her hand to be reminded all the time of her beautiful family. The girls thrilled to see themselves represented in beautiful gems. Opal, our head of HR, always the ham, came running out of her cozy spot in the shop to greet her favorite littles. I'm not sure who was more excited, Steph, to see her new ring, or the girls to see the dog.

Happy 40th Cathy and Klyde! After seeing what we did for their son and his engagement ring, Cathy started to wonder what could be done with her original ring from the 80's. Still lovin on Klyde but thinking her ring could use a little something different, we did THIS! As you can see from the initial reaction, oh there was some joy happening here!!! Cathy's first words were "OMG, these were MY diamonds?". Now freed from all the metal encasing them, they can show off their fineness and serious sparkle. Happy Wife, Happy Life.....you're welcome Klyde, and you're glowing with pride, both of you. Here's to many more happy moments for years to come.

Hi All, yes we are back after some lovely vacation time and getting ready for the holiday season.
Adrienne found us and stopped in just for some ideas of upgrading her wedding set. Why? Because she just got a huge ROCKSTAR promotion and is celebrating her new wonderful achievement, and of course her longstanding marriage with Joel, her other rock. We chatted and looked through Barbara's bucket O'Diamonds and all the options until that AHA moment when Adrienne, the lover of baguettes spotted the engagement ring and cradle that just fit her taste and style to a tee. Adrienne, we are all just so happy for you and the lucky company who was wise enough to recognize your talents, and Joel, your supportive sidekick in life, who joined you for your big revealing moment of sparkles!

Suzanne from Florida sent me a vial full of hundreds of stones with the instructions "MAKE ME SOMETHING CHAOS". Okay, I sorted through them all, some genuine, some fakers, some lovely, some icky, all different sizes and shapes+. Using 171 of good ones, she now is the proud owner of this glorious pendant, which should protect her entire upper body from the punishing southern sun. Suzanne, who is not afraid to wear big and bold, now has her companion piece to her ring and bracelet. She's classy and sassy, just like her jewelry. The leftovers, oh I'm sure there will another piece in the future.......

You know we make a lot of folks happy and our diamonds shine bright. This time I'm not sure which sparkles more, Yasmin or her new engagement ring. She and Jason met and married 2 years ago and her dream ring has now been placed on her finger at last! The sweetest couple, Yasmin found herself that guy that just wanted to make her soooooo happy. When we all sat together to choose the stone and start the designing process, Jason, that hopeless romantic, broke it all down in to how many overtime hours he needed to work. This makes it a true "labor of love" right?

Happy Birthday to you Deanna! William and his love of 26 years came in with her original diamond, the sapphire earrings he gave her on their wedding day and the sapphire pendant for their anniversary. What special thing to do for her big day? How about we incorporate all those years of loving each other into a unique (just like Deanna) signature wedding band? You can tell by the smile on her face and the twinkle in his eye, continued happy wife-happy life. They are cooking her bd dinner tonight, filets and creamed spinach, OK William will be cooking and Deanna will just be standing in the kitchen, staring at her hand, fixated, as she should be.

Michelle and Mike needed a little marquise diamond replacement on her wedding band of 30 years and came in on their anniversary to make it whole again. While they were waiting, she of course had to peek in the showcases because just like when in a chocolate shop, you HAVE to look, and maybe a just a little taste... Here we play dress-up and try on, sometimes just for fun. There was that one ring that caught her attention and admiration. Wonderful hubby asked "do you maybe have any diamonds here, just to see?" Oh, indeed we do, and they were presented a number of fine stones to gaze upon.
Of course they chose the biggest and best because Mike is a very smart and after 30 years, what was not on their radar walking in, just like the trip to the candy shop, but instead of a taste, Michelle ended up with an entire new finger-full of Happy Anniversary diamonds. I love this for them soooooo much.

Ok , this week's post is about being grateful. I thank you all for voting us Best Traditional Jeweler in WNY!!!!! Having the honor for the second year in a row not only fills a spot on my wall, but also fills my heart. My amazing staff, Sam, Phillie, Lacey and Dan, more family than associates make everyday here not "work". Thank you to SPREE magazine for putting on a great event to celebrate all the winners in each classification, and to all of you who voted! I looked up to the stars last night and spoke to my parents in my out loud voice and said "Mom, Dad, that wonky-who- would- ever -be- able -to -find- you -location you were worried about seems to have worked out after all". And yes next week I'll post jewelry I promise, thanks for letting me brag just a little today.

Lovely Brenda lost her mom a number of years ago and just wasn't ready to do anything with her original wedding band, her engagement diamond and some old mine cut diamonds from grandmother's wedding ring. Loving simple designs and wanting something to keep everything together in a signature ring that would remind her daily, we kept it classy and a tad sassy. Using mom's wedding band we cut out the center in a soft curved opening and filled the gap with a cascade of sparkly reminders of just how loved she was and is. She was kind enough to model with that look of delight on her pretty face. Thank you Brenda for being a joy to take care of.

Kathy had a dilemma, lots of older pieces that were no longer loved, but had sentimental value. Each piece told a story, something from mom, grandma, original dating gifts from hubs, high school graduation gifts, you know that drawer of stuff....She was getting some flack from mom, "how can you take apart those pieces?", "they have meaning!!!!!". Not sitting in a that box, in the dark, all alone they don't. So here we have all the sapphires and diamonds, gleaned from all the folks and all the memories into one perfect for Kathy signature piece that she can look at remembering what each stone came from and the loved one who treasured it first. Scared to show her mother (and she's almost as old as me LOL), the reaction was "Ohhhhhhhh now I get it". So THERE to all the naysayers!!!!!! If you don't love it the way it is, turn it into something that you do.
