Introducing Lafonn Jewelry

Introducing the "Lafonn Jewelry Collection"

 

Ok, I must admit it...I'm a little tickled with myself today!  You see we recently added something that I believe our customers are going to love!  Of course, this is none other than the "Lafonn Jewelry Collection".

 

Lafonn jewelry features the ultimate in vintage jewelry design at a price that puts owning a fine piece of jewelry in everyone's budget.  With Canary yellow colors, sapphire blue as well as chocolate looks...these pieces of "Eye Candy" capture everyone's imagination!  Most of these rings, pendants, bracelets and earrings fall within the $100-300 price range...hard to believe, but true!!!

You may be asking yourself, "Ok Bill, just what is Lafonn anyway..is diamond, cz or what?"  Lafonn jewelry features Lassaire man made gemstones which are actually one of the closest things to real diamond you can get.  The gems are very tough & durable and are cut to very exacting standards.  The mountings are made of the finest sterling silver bonded with genuine platinum for look & durability.  In the purchase of a Lafonn item, you're getting a very well made piece of fine jewelry that looks like pieces that only royalty could wear but that are affordable for everyone!

I invite you to visit Lafonn's website to get a closer look at all of the beautiful jewelry that is offered at: http://www.lafonn.com  

Stop by the Gold Mine today to see the latest pieces in person and do some early Christmas shopping...you'll be glad you did!

'til next time,

Christmas Time In the Small Town of Hudson

Now...this is the way Christmas is supposed to be! I love it...beautiful snowfall coming down, shoppers rushing home with their presents! My wife and I love to decorate the Gold Mine for Christmas...notice in the picture to toy soldiers we have affectionately named "Hanz and Franz"! It seems that even with all the stress of the recession, people still are shopping, still having a good time and yes, things do seem to be turning around for the economy and what better time for it to do so than at Christmas?

I consider myself most fortunate to be able to help celebrate my customer's important milestone events in their lives such as Christmas, weddings, birthdays, anniversaries, etc.....Burl Ive's sang about it in the hit song "Silver & Gold" and yes, silver and gold makes things brighter.

Thanks everyone for allowing me to play a small part in your life as your jeweler...its an honor I cherish and enjoy! Merry Christmas and I wish you a very Happy New Year!

Sincerely,

Christmas & Jewelry - A Sparkling Combination

Ever since I was a kid, I have loved everything about the Christmas season...the music, the food, family, memories made and of course the gifts! Now don't get ahead of me here...I'm not talking about receiving but the "giving of gifts". Many folks are just like me and they love to see the look on the face of the receipient of their gifts...that smile, that look of surprise, appreciation & love....that just says it all! Even after having been married for nearly 20 years and having been in the jewelry business for 25 years, Angie my wife still loves to receive the gift that sparkles....fine jewelry!!!

Of course, jewelry comes in all sizes, tastes, designs and certainly, one item doesn't fit all. Diamonds are always an appropriate gift because of the things they represent: durability (your love endures forever), fire (the excitement of your relationship), beautiful clear white color ( the perfect gem for all occasions) the cutting or faceting (representing all the facets of you and your loved one's life). Lets also not forget about gold & silver, long treasured for their intrinsic value & worth (can show the worth & value you put on your relationships). Gemstones of all colors of the rainbow in a wide array of jewelry such as bracelets, earrings, rings, necklaces...you name it...there is a gemstone for everyone (lets not forget that everyone has a birthstone!) Each anniversary has a gemstone assigned to it as well as the tribes of israel in the Bible (each has a gemstone).

So you see, jewelry truly can represent many important facets of your life and its an enduring gift that lasts for years! I love to see families pass jewelry down through the generations as family heirlooms....what a great tradition! Let me make a suggestion...why not start a new family tradition with a new jewelry heirloom to be passed down and treasured for many generations with the gift of fine jewelry this Christmas? Above all else, lets not forget to treasure those who mean the most to us this season.......
