Why Talking Is a Good Idea
Buying jewelry online is intimidating. We should know. We've been selling online for 17 years.
We've taken a totally different approach. A personal one.
Remember how experiences used to be intimate? Jewelry buying should be an intimate experience.
It isn't about having the largest selection, or selling the cheapest (i.e. low quality) jewelry. We’re not aiming to be the Amazon of jewelry. We are a family-owned jewelry store in Modesto (California) that is very picky about quality and design. That's been our calling card since 1989.
Beautiful jewelry should stir the soul. Before selecting a piece for display we ask, “How does this design make me feel?”
In a world of infinite choice, it’s nice to slow down and appreciate the work of master craftsmen.
Don’t use your credit card to buy this. Not yet.
It’s 5:40 AM in Modesto right now. Call us and see why we fell in love with this piece. One shouldn’t ever have to buy jewelry online without asking all your questions first. Oh, that’s right, that’s what makes us different from the thousands of online jewelry sites out there.
When you call you aren’t talking to an agent in a call center. Your talking to either Ron Yates, Ashton Yates-Woolley, Marissa Stewart, Mechelle Yates, or Justice Carillo at our Modesto store location.

A genuine Shipwreck Gold Treasure Coin!
This 1729 Netherlands Gold Ducat Coin is in near perfect condition. The coin was recovered from the shipwreck of the Vliegenthart ("Flying Heart"), which was a Dutch ship carrying silver and gold coins. After striking a sand bar on February 3, 1735 it sank. All of the sailors, merchants and soldiers died. The ship was heading towards the East Indies for trade purposes. The Dutch were major players in the trade industry at this time.
1981, after over 250 years, the wreck was found. Some of the gold coins were recovered in 1983, but not all of them. In 1992 another chest of gold coins was found at the bottom of the sea. that is where this coin came from.This amazing coin pendant is only $1285.
An incredible value for such a beautiful, historically significant piece. And theres only one. This coin originally sold for over $2,400!
