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.
Product Details
Such a romantic design. Take a close look, do you see the vine and leaves? In the leaves there are little diamonds and emeralds set. The emeralds really add a special touch!
The center diamond is approximately .45ct (weight estimated by formula). It is a transitional cut, typically cut in the 1930s and 1940s. It is a very fine diamond quality, VS2 clarity and H-I color.
This ring is crafted in precious platinum - the preferred white metal of choice. Platinum is better than white gold for a few reasons: 1) It is a pure white metal, never needing to be rhodium plated. White gold comes from gold (which is yellow) that is bleached to an off-white color and then needs to be rhodium plated. 2) For hand engraving, platinum produces a better engraving quality as the metal is more malleable. 3) Platinum has no nickel allows in it, thus no allergic reaction.
Notice the engraved floral carving on the sides of the ring. Also, around the leaves there is hand applied milgrain detail. Beautiful design features! Sometimes its the small things like this that make a ring.
Don't let this out get away. Where are you going to see another one?
