Hand Created Jewelry Show With You In Mind!

ATTENTION HAND CREATED JEWELRY LOVERS!
Mark June 6th & 7th on your calendars now be­cause you’ll not want to miss our 2nd Annual Jew­elry Trunk Show with famed, award winning jew­elry designer “Jerome Glassman” from Landrum, SC.
When Mr. Jerome finishes a piece of fine jewelry, he feels as if a song or a painting has been created. He brings pleasure to the senses of the beholder with his well-executed pieces of designer jewelry. When a woman from any walk of life reviews his work she will desire to wear and own an original work of beauty that suits them. The Professional woman seeks his jewelry because it contributes to a striking first impression. They know important-looking, simple jewelry equals a powerful, profes­sional demeanor. Jewelry should make you feel intriguing and powerful.
The stones he chooses must attract his eye and evoke feelings from his inner being. The attraction must be immediate; they must “speak” to him. “Beauty, color, and shape are my criterion to pur­chase precious, semiprecious and ordinary lapidary stones common throughout the world. I do not tend to buy the ordinary, overpriced or what is sought after by the usual buyers.” He actually understands the special qualities and properties of these products of the earth and then decides to incorporate them into a design.

We look forward to introducing you to designer Jerome and his gorgeous works of art!

THE GOLD RUSH IS ON!

Whew!!! After this article hit our local newspaper, the "Gold Rush" was literally on! Not that we haven't already been busy with the buying of gold....now the flood waves have hit! Yes, I know, I know...I've already talked to you about this before, but hey gang, really, if you have old gold laying around the house....now is the time to sell it for optimum return on investment to you. This opportunity may not happen again for a long time...so go "Gold Mining" in your basement or attic and lets turn it into cold, hard cash!

On another note, I've had many folks coming in to our jewelry store to do Mother's Day shopping and bringing their old gold to trade in toward a new piece of jewelry for Mom! They are pleasantly surprised to discover that often times, I end up paying them extra money plus giving them a new jewelry item.....now thats a real win/win situation! Its not often that you leave a jewelry store with more money than when you came in.....

Spring time is certainly in the air and as temperatures start to go up...I find that I'm spending time looking at new & exciting jewelry lines for my customers. Is there a particular new jewelry line of interest to you? Would you like to see something we currently do not stock? Drop me a line and let me know.....I'm always interested in your thoughts and opinions! Thats all for now...take care and have a great weekend!

Mother's Day Is Almost Here!

Its hard to believe Mother's Day - May 10th is almost upon us! What do you have planned for that special lady in your life? I know my family will probably take my mom out for a nice dinner and give her a gift at that time. However you choose to honor your mother, wife, daughter on this special day...make it a memorable event! Remember, this is a special day to this lady and yes guys, they take it more seriously than you think.....just trying forgetting this special day and you'll hear about it for a long time to come!! LOL

What are some great gifts to show Mom you love and honor her? Of course, the "Family Ring" is always a great choice. These lovely rings hold the children's as well as the parent's birthstone stones in one ring honoring the entire family. I've pictured one ring design above, but the choices are virtually endless. Some mom's like to have the entire family in the ring and some just prefer the children's so there really isn't a right or wrong way to do it. You'll also be glad to know that if rings aren't her thing that pendants and bracelets are also available. Each piece of jewelry is available in 10k or 14k gold, white or yellow gold with genuine or man-made synthetic birthstones....so there is something to fit all tastes and budgets!

Don't forget to pick up a card and flowers as they go well with jewelry for an overall total package for her! However you choose to honor "HER"...make it a special and memorable day and if nothing else, let her know how important and loved she really is!

'Til Next Time,

MURANO GLASS JEWELRY

From the extremely talented artisan's in Italy comes "Italian Murano Glass" jewelry, a new item I've recently added to the inventory in our store. You will be extremely impressed with the beauty and hand made workmanship of this new type of jewelry.

Murano Glass is world renowned for its traditions in quality and form. The master glass-blowers use the same techniques which have been passed down from the first millenium to make this jewelry. The delicate handcrafted beauty makes each piece unique, therefore variations in color and size will occur. This variation and distinctive artistry makes each piece of jewelry truly your own.

And guess what? It is available in both 14 karat yellow gold as well as sterling silver metals. Take time to look in and check on "Murano Glass"...its very exciting to see!

Its Time To Get Your Jewelry Repaired!

With spring time just around the corner, its not only time to do a bit of "spring jewelry cleaning", but quite possibly, its time to have your "old friends" repaired or touched up!

Jewelry is just like our fine automobiles and sometimes that favorite jewelry item needs a "tune up"!! Its so very easy to knock a prong off of your favorite ring and chip a stone or to break a clasp on your bracelet or necklace.

Here at The Gold Mine, customer's tell us all the time about how much they appreciate our jeweler/repairmen looking after and taking care of their prized family heirlooms! Of course, its our pleasure to do so and often, we're able to catch a small problem and fix it before it becomes a big problem!

May I make a suggestion? How about bringing your favorite jewels by the Gold Mine for "A Day At The Spa"! We'll give each piece a heated, vibrated, ultrasonic solution bath and check each and every stone for tightness. When we return your pieces to you at the end of the day, you'll not believe how much better they look and did I mention....we'll do this simply for FREE!!! Yes, if you went to the doctor for a checkup, well, you know how much they charge...so bring your jewelry to the jewelry doctor and we'll give it all a FREE checkup and a DAY AT THE SPA on us!

I look forward to seeing you soon!

P.S. - special note from Bill - don't forget...never allow your gold or silver jewelry to come in contact with any kind of chlorox bleach cleaner in the home....it will completely ruin your item by acting like an acid on it...don't even let the fumes from bleach get close!!! Please take your rings off while doing the laundry!!

$1000 PER OUNCE GOLD - KNOWING WHEN TO HOLD IT OR FOLD IT

"You've got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold them". Ok, so you can't hear me singing my favorite verse to Kenny Roger's song "The Gambler" but what does that have to do with this jewelry blog? Well, let me ask you an important question.....with gold currently trading on the world markets at $1000.00 or more per ounce, how does that affect you? Here are a couple of answers:

1. Yes, yellow or white gold jewelry may cost a little more because of the higher per ounce pricing, but there is also more demand upon manufacturer's to curtail prices and make lighter, more interesting designs. And guess what? You can even trade in your old, unwanted gold jewelry or items for brand new jewelry in my store thus making it very easy to refresh your jewelry wardrobe and have no out of pocket expense!

2. You can simply sell your old gold and put lots of money in your pocket, pay off a nagging bill or credit card or have money for home improvements! With gold at a 25 year high price, chances are you'll get the most return on your investment right now and you want even have to speculate in the precious metals market to do it!

Many customers ask me why the price of gold has went so high? There are certainly many reasons but here are a few of the most important: Watch the value of the US dollar...when the dollar is weak, gold will usually be very strong and go up in price. If the real estate market is weak, gold will usually be stronger and lets not forget the price of crude oil....pay close attention...when oil goes up in price...historically, gold will do the same!

I hope you've found this info about the gold market interesting....now back to singing my favorite Kenny Roger's songs...

Love Is In The Air....

"Love Is In The Air" are the lyrics to a popular '70's song, but the words couldn't be any truer! Valentine's Day is fast approaching and what better way to show your loved one how much you care than with the gift of fine jewelry.

Yes, jewelry really is one of the favorites gifts women love to receive and hey guys, many jewelry items are much more affordable than a dozen red roses and its lasts much longer! Increasingly, men love receiving a nice bracelet, necklace or ring as well....

What to buy? For starters, many folks are born in the month of february so their birthstone is always a good choice (its the purple amethyst gemstone in case you were wondering). Another popular gift item are the items pictured above which are the "Three Diamond, Past, Present & Future" jewelry items. Journey diamond jewelry is another favorite as well.

If you are unsure what to do this Valentine season, stop by and see myself or any of my highly trained staff and we'll help you make the perfect selection and of course, in a budget that is tailored just for you! We might even sing for you.....are you ready for that?
