April Newsletter & Local Happenings

Spring is in the air and we are loving every second of it!

The longer days and warmer nights lend themselves to more time spent outside enjoying the nature and parks or just getting to sit outside at a corner café or restaurant.

Heads up. Our annual Anniversary Sale starts April 27th!

Keep an eye out for the sale newsletter soon!

April Birthstone – Diamond

Diamond

As the April birthstone, diamond jewelry makes the perfect gift for a loved one. Fancy-color diamonds are natural, rare, and truly exotic gems of the earth. Diamonds in hues of yellow, red, pink, blue, and green range in intensity from faint to vivid and generally the more saturated the color, the higher the value.

In fact, diamonds that sparkle with intense color are rare and may be priced higher than a colorless diamond of equal size. Because fancy-color diamonds are very desirable, color is sometimes introduced in a laboratory. These are correctly called color-treated diamonds.

When purchasing a fancy-color diamond, the shopper should ask if any enhancements or treatments were used to improve its color and/or clarity.
