Did You Know That "We Buy Gold"?

Here is a little known fact that many customers overlook when dealing with "The Gold Mine"! Did you realize that we need and are willing to buy your old gold items? Yes, its true, almost daily we pay current market prices for your old gold items which can but are not limited to: old broken gold jewelry, gold watches, gold coins, dental gold and most any other type of unwanted gold!

Recently, we had a lovely lady stop by who wanted to "Trade" her old gold wedding set in on a new jewelry item so she could get rid of "Bad Memories" from a painful divorce. Guess what? We were able to help her do just that by allowing her a trade in on some new jewelry she would enjoy and we were still able to put some cash in her pocket on top of the new jewelry she left the store wearing!

You may be sitting on your own virtual "GOLD MINE" and just don't know it! Gather up your old gold and bring it by our store for a FREE evaluation...it might be worth more than you think! With summer coming on...everyone can use a little extra cash for a vacation, home improvements, etc.

Currently, gold is trading at a 25 year high so, the dollars can really add up quickly. I invite you to check out this link on our website for more information regarding this little known service we offer...you'll find it at: http://www.hudsongoldmine.com/We_Buy_Gold.php

Custom Jewelry Creation Anyone?

Clients often ask me what I enjoy most about being a jeweler and my answer simply is, "Custom Creation"! Nothing in my store is quite as fun as making a new piece of jewelry for a client that only they will ever own and enjoy!

What does custom creating a new jewelry item entail and how do you go about it? Many times, I've had clients bring in an idea for a new ring or pendant that was simply scribbled on a napkin at a restaurant and guess what? We were able to make it for them! Whatever your idea is, simply stop by or call me and maybe I can help you design a "Mock Up" piece or image for you to view on my computer or by creating what is known as a wax casting. This way, you can see beforehand what your idea will look like and whether or not you'll like it! We can easily design rings, pendants, earrings, bracelets or whatever you like out of such metals as platinum, 10k, 14k, 18k, or 22k white or yellow gold, sterling silver and even titanium!

I've enclosed a link to some of my recent jewelry creations for your viewing at: http://www.hudsongoldmine.com/Custom_Creations.php

These items are only a few of the pieces we've made here at The Gold Mine. Let your imagination be your guide and then call us so we can help you own the jewelry you've always dreamed about and deserve!

Success,

Everyone Likes A Party!

Everyone does like a party don't they? Sure they do! This friday night, May 4th from 6pm 'til 8pm, we're going to have a party here in my store, "The Gold Mine"!

What kind of party? Well for starters, my lovely wife Angie will have her famous "Chocolate Fountain" on display that you can dip fruit, cookies, crackers..(sorry, don't dip your finger)! The atmosphere will be light and soft music playing, just a gathering of friends and my best customers to show them whats new in the jewelry industry for mom...Hey, Mother's Day is almost here (May 13th)...I gotta help these folks get ready!

Nothing quite makes an impression on Mom (other than you visiting or calling her once and awhile) like fine jewelry! I've got to say that this year's new spring jewelry collection we've assembled is one of the best ever!

Also, we have a closeout jewelry case of some old friends(jewelry) that we'd like to move so we've marked them down at or below our actual cost to give them a good adoptive home!

If you're in our area...stop by and join our little party of friends! The food and drinks are on me as are the laughs and fun we're going to have!

See ya then,

How to put a lasting smile on her face!

Yes, I must admit...its true! What you might ask? Diamonds really are a girl's best friend....and geez, we men are stuck with a dog! Seriously enough, if you really want to put a smile on that special woman's face this Mother's Day (May 13th)...give her diamonds! After 23 years of working with the female genre....I've met only the rare few women who wouldn't treasure a gorgeous diamond pendant, ring or earrings!

With so many versatile diamond designs to choose from, there is the perfect jewelry piece just right for her! I've pictured above the ever popular "Three Diamond Past, Present, & Future Jewelry" collection. This lovely collection embodies a very important message of how much you cherish her...whether it be your mom, wife or girlfriend! This item has become a very popular gift year around and hey ladies...your mom would love one of these as well as you!

Diamonds truly are eternal and as long as the gift comes from the heart....most ladies will treasure whatever is picked out for them! Give me a call if you need some ideas for this upcoming Mother's Day or better yet, stop by The Gold Mine and I'll help you put a lasting smile on her face!

Hey Guy's...How About "Wife Insurance"!

So gentlemen, do you "Want To Get Out of the Doghouse?" If so, I recommend treating that special woman in your life to a beautiful piece of fine jewelry from time to time!

Seriously, think of a woman's jewelry to her as you would think of your favorite item, example: fishing boat, hunting rifle, sports cars, motorcycles...you get the picture?

It really is quite inexpensive compared to some of the items we men hold dear and trust me...women treasure their jewelry for years to come!

When that special occasion rolls around, fine jewelry really is a hit! The gift we men give our spouses or girlfriends says "A Lot" about how we truly feel toward our special loved one...so remember this when you're picking out that "Just Right" item for her....don't try to get out on the cheap...go ahead and go for the gusto....it'll be the best "Wife Insurance" you've ever purchased!

Sincerely,

Bill Warren, Owner/Registered Gemologist

What is the "Perfect Diamond Engagement Ring?"

What is the "Perfect Diamond Engagement Ring?" Wow...what a question...you know what they say about different strokes for different folks! Let me attempt to shed some light on the subject...

First of all, what shape of diamond do you prefer? You have several options to choose from such as the traditional round brilliant, emerald cuts, princess/square cuts, radiant cut, pear shape, marquise, heart shape and the list goes on and on. With today's modern diamond cutters, there are many diamond shapes to choose from whereas brides to be of yesteryear only had 6-7 choices. Take in to consideration your hand & finger size...longer hands and fingers tend to look best with marquise or emerald cut shapes...shorter hand & finger size looks best with round or princess cut shapes. Of course, its all a matter of personal taste!

Second, look for a diamond that is well cut! Some diamond cutters sacrifice good cutting for size and the end result is a diamond that looks like a piece of glass instead of the brilliant prism that it should! Always go for good quality cutting!

Third, look for a diamond of good clarity or how clear the diamond is. There are several clarity grades to choose from but I often suggest to clients that in layman's terms...look for a diamond that has lots of fire, not one that looks cloudy or milky in appearance! Myself or any knowledgeable jeweler will take time with you to explain all about clarity grades when you make this all important purchase!

Fourth, look for a diamond that has a fine white color? Don't all diamonds have that you say? Not necessarily, because some diamonds have a faint to very noticeable yellow tone. Insist on the finer white diamond grades.

Fifth...what type of setting is best? With so many to choose from: 14k, 18k gold, platinum, palladium....each has its on personality and good qualities..please let a trained person explain it to you. Some ladies like ultra modern and highly polished settings while others love the current favorite" The Vintage Look". Take a look at the vintage ring I have pictured as an example. There isn't a right or wrong...let your good taste be your guide!

Success,
