Recently I was contacted by the daughter of a client. Her mom had moved to an assisted living facility, and she needed some help determining the value of her mom's jewelry. 
It turned out to be a very memorable time as we cleaned , polished and checked over her mom's valuable collection. 
I realized that among the collection there were many pieces that I had designed and manufactured. My client and her husband had celebrated their 50+ years of marriage by giving many one of a kind pieces of jewelry. 
Of course the daughter had her favorites, which was fun and touching to learn about. But it was also her task to give family members the jewelry pieces that had meaning for them as well. That was very special to experience. 
It was a memorable afternoon, and a pleasure to return many of the pieces to As New condition. It is wonderful, that the collection will go on being enjoyed by the family, and so with each piece,  will many fabulous memories of both mom and dad. 

Solitaire Studs of Pearls, Colored Gemstones, or Diamonds add a highlight to your look, by using a punctuation of color and light. 
​Dangling Earrings give movement and length to the appearance of the ear. That little bit of motion adds alot of drama!
Huggy Earrings are very nice. They hug the ear lobe, and have a finished front side and back side. They clip on, and have a taylored appearance. The design styles are limitless, from simple hoops to colored gemstones, some whimsical and some playful. 
Button earrings are usually on the larger side, and because of their size and weight have French backs to hold them upright on the ear. These earrings can feature larger colored gemstones, and there is alot of area to work with. You can work with different forms or designs, from freeform, to geometric, to asymmetrical shapes. These earrings tend to make a BOLDER fashion statement. 

When choosing an earring style, you should keep in mind the shape of your face. Whether your face is round, pear, oval or square in shape, pick a style that flatters your look with a design that accents you beautifully. 

Earrrings are a wonderfull part of the jewelry wardrobe. Discover your style and look your best!

My Favorite Clients are the ones who have taken the time to celebrate those special moments in life. The Birthdays, Anniversaries, and significant events such as career promotions, graduations, and accomplishments to remember and commemorate!
A recent customer called, and wanted to make an appointment to upgrade his wife’s original wedding ring. They were celebrating their 50th anniversary!
He wanted to give her a diamond when they were married, and what he could afford, was a yellow gold free form band. It was lovely! And of course, that band means the world to them. His comment was “from humble beginnings.” I had a beautiful half carat diamond that they both fell in love with. I fashioned it into their old ring with some careful remodeling. 
When they picked up the finished ring, it brought tears to their eyes. He said to her that she finally had her diamond that he had been saving up for so long. A wonderful celebration of their sparkling life, together.
