2020, it's not just hindsight anymore! Hah, I put that meme on Facebook and got quite a few chuckles.
Glowing emerald in its custom ring
Are there any hindsights in your rear view mirror? Something you wanted to accomplish but didn't? For me it's more on a personal level, I should have camped more, I should have visited mom and dad more, and hung out with girlfriends more. Glowing emerald in its custom ringIt's those things that you'll never regret doing. As I'm writing this we're planning a family trip before New Years. Should be great to see everyone around the holidays, something a jeweler rarely gets to do, unless family is close by.
But on a business level, I should have reached out to more customers, written those thank you notes more often, and should have called more people periodically. So, if I didn't reach out to you, I should have. So, I'll do it now! Happy Birthday, Happy Anniversary, Happy Holidays, and Happy New Year!
Blue sapphire and custom pendant
If one of your regrets is that you didn't get your rings cleaned and checked before Christmas, don't worry, there's always time. If you haven't gotten around to having me repurpose your older jewelry, there's time for that too. The winter is perfect for getting things done that you've put off all summer and fall. Many of you have inherited pieces that you won't wear, that are sitting in a drawer or safe deposit box. It's time to get them out and explore what can be done with them so you can enjoy them. Often we break them apart, split them up amongst the kids, making each child something special from grandma. But, redoing something just for you is never a bad idea either.

As I've mentioned in the past, I can shop for gems and diamonds for you anytime, as I have sources all over the world. But if there's something really special that you want now, I can go to the Tucson Gem Show and pick it out just for you. I send tons of photos to you, advise you along the way, and guide you in making your final choice. We need to meet soon and talk about budgets, sizes, shapes, and shades of color. Please call or email within the next week or so, so I can make my plane reservations. I already have my hotel reservations; they're much harder to get than plane tickets!
Anyway, if there's a special gem like a sapphire, emerald or ruby that you've been desiring, please let me know and I'll personally shop it for you getting the best quality and value in one of the largest gem markets in the world. Check out the photos for the results of last year's personal shopping trip.
