Pamela’s Proposal Story – Congrats on your $200 credit!

Hi Jeff here is my wedding proposal story. A little background on the happy couple, We have been together almost 5 years and although joked about getting married someday we never really talked much about it. The groom has a little bit of commitment phobia. So back to the proposal. I was really late on Christmas eve 2009 we where just about to head to bed when Al asked me if i wanted to open my stocking. I said no I was tired and would open it in the morning. He said no come on doing it now. So at this point I wasn’t thinking much about what would be inside I was tired and just wanted to go to bed. I had thought that there might be some jewelry inside since he has always given me jewelry for Christmas but I was not thing ring. I start to open what was in the stocking the usual stuff candy pair of socks a usb memory stick nothing to warrant  not going to bed. I get to the bottom  of the stocking and pull out a small box with a Santa on top.  As I am bout to open it Al slides off the couch and kneels in front of me, I am still not thinking ring maybe because it was three in the morning or I just didn’t want to get my hopes up. I was thinking it was a bracelet and he was just getting in front of me to put it on.  I open the Santa box and inside is a tresure chest box and inside that was a ring. A gorgeous  white gold ring with black and white diamonds.  Has I  am looking at the ring through now teary eyes Al says to me so you want to get married. I know not the most romantic words ever spoken but for me and that night they were music to my ears. I off course said yes. So that is my proposal story, and a night I will never forget. Thank you for letting me share.

Why Design Your Own Pendant?

There are several reasons for which people elect to custom design their own pendants. Most want to match it to other favorite jewellery items they own.  Earrings, bracelets and rings, all influence the shape and design of pendants. Enhance your unique designs with a custom pendant.

Others have come up with very creative ideas. Ladies sports teams have honored their team logo with gemstones set in gold so they can proudly represent their rank and file. Some have taken family crests and made beautiful pendants for each of their family members. Also, for those mothers and grandmothers who have no more room for a family ring, consider the Family Pendant, proudly displaying hanging birthstones for each member of the family.

We offer a large selection of diamond pendants, with and without colored gem stones. As well, we would be delighted to custom design a pendant just for you, matching a ring or a pair of earrings you own already.

Appraisal Service

There are two different types of appraisals used to evaluate jewellery: The RETAIL APPRAISAL is used to reflect a price usually 50% or more above what you are likely to have paid for an item of jewellery. Many jewellers use this appraisal as a sales tool to help demonstrate a sense of value. However, the REPLACEMENT APPRAISAL is the only form of appraisal we recommend. This appraisal reflects a price generally accepted by insurance companies, in the event of loss or theft. The replacement price shown in this appraisal hovers around the same price you are likely to have paid for the item within 5% - 10%.

It is our belief that the replacement appraisal is the only appraisal one should seek.

Ring Sizing

Bigger or smaller, sizing your ring is an easy procedure for most rings. Turn-around is usually about 3-5 days. If your rings are too tight and won't come off, let us cut them off with our professional ring cutter at no additional charge. Then we will size it from there.
