  • The Easiest Way to Buy an Engagement Ring and The NEW Naughty-ish IG Page

    You'll hear this again and again: find a "pro" in your backyard and put them to work!  (They live for it.)

    PLUS: The NEW Buy Like a Guy Instagram page is up and not for the faint of heart.  Alluring pics with diamond facts and a bit of inspiration are mixed in.  It's an exciting way to get information about the most important ring you'll ever buy. 

    You  can also see my ugly mug on Youtube if you want to see this impromptu episode.

  • It's Time for Men to Step Up...

    Guys, it's time to step up and do something great and noble for the person you love the most.  These are emotional times, and few things communicate how you feel as well as jewelry.   It's about showing her that the past is gone, and you survived it so far, and there is no one you'd rather face the future with than her.   (That's why jewelry exists in the first place.  It speaks!)

    Side note: this was an experimental version of the podcast.  You can see it on Youtube hear: https://youtu.be/UqoxoUZELvY

    Second side note: this is not exclusive to men though it is mostly who I'm speaking to.  Everyone and all are invited to take this message and make it your own.   Peace.

  • When We Can’t Help
    Independent Jewelers WANT to help size or repair the jewelry you buy online or from big box joints, but sometimes we have to say “no.” We hate it, but here’s why we have to sometimes.

  • Triple Ex Doesn’t Mean the Most Beautiful
    We continued our discussion on diamonds and the conclusion for you? GIA Triple Ex graded diamonds aren’t necessarily a WIN. We also hit on carbon emissions...but we only know what we read on that subject, so take it with a grain of salt.

  • Science and Soul
    I started recording a conversation my wife and I were having with a very bright industry insider. We have conversations like this all the time. I figured I’d let you in on one.

  • Don’t Buy Crap...
    A few well chosen jewelry pieces of quality are a better move than collecting boxes and boxes of crap. It saves money in the end. Quality is never out of style. “Good stuff ain’t cheap, and cheap stuff ain’t good.” (Pass it on.

  • Sizing Matters: Too tight, too big, or juuuust right?
    ”What’s my finger size?” It’s a simple question, but you wouldn’t believe how often jewelers and clients get it “wrong.” I sat down for a quick chat with Ali, our goldsmith, and Susan, one of our front line pro’s, to see if we could shed some light on the subject. I think we nailed it.

  • Online Diamond Shopping is Effed Up...
    I decided to call the biggest online diamond joint and find out if I could SEE what I was buying BEFORE I gave them  my cash.  (I think you know what the answer was.)  Then I gave a call to some independent jewelers to find out what their policy is.   Bottom line: Mom and Pop Jewelry stores are WAY more in your corner than those faceless diamond mills online.  Independent jewelers invest in diamonds, and you, before you walk in the door.  (And we're there for you after you take ownership of your jewelry too!)
