Should I bury him with his wedding band on?

Every now & then I'm asked to help a family make a decision. It's always a tough one. Should they bury their loved one with their wedding ring? Being the sentimental person I am, I see both sides of this. He or she wore it most of their life. And, I feel that jewelry is a reflection of the wearer. Passing it on to a family member keeps the memory alive, not to mention the energy one can feel Just now a lady came in to tell me of how much she appreciated my advice. Every day she looks down at the cross her mother wore everyday as well, and she feels the strength and wisdom of their bond of love.Moments like this are priceless to me.View this photo

Today with The Divas...March 25, 2010

Smiles, tears and big hugs all around the shop today. A 20 something's guy brought in his niece's add-a pearl necklace to add pearls for her birthday. You don't think about guys liking or remember that sort of thing...but he was a sweety.

Another client had asked us to make one of the "diamonds by the yard" style necklaces. She wanted it to "snuggy hug" her neck and use about five little diamonds. It fit perfectly and looked so cute on her dainty little neck.

i LOVE MY JOB!

Gold is still up but falling!

Today gold opened at 1102.80 and seems to be falling due to a firmer U.S. dollar and weaker crude oil prices. So, it's still a good time to sell your scrap and coins and a great time to remount the stones from the old pieces into new ones. Trading your scrap to a jeweler usually gets you a lot more than just selling it to the "cash for your gold" folks.
