In business, success is not necessarily the key to happiness, but rather happiness is the key to success. I have always believed that people should be happy with their occupation, why spend years doing something you don't enjoy? My wife and I initiated our jewelry business in 1979. Although there have been some days that seemed like a grind, overall I've always been happy to practice my craft and I thank God for the success we've enjoyed. I can also thank our many customers for the trust they have shown as well as their patronage.I am also grateful for the assistance we have received over the years from our employees. Our ability to serve South Central Pennsylvania with a quality jewelry service is directly related to the efforts of the people who have worked with us in the past and those who assist us today. Shaded between tall oak trees, our store was once a private residence. The modest brick Cape Cod building is easy to miss if you're driving by on Cornwall Road and many people who step into our cozy showroom for the first time have said, "I drive by here everyday and I never knew you were here". However the seemingly quaint, quiet, and comfortable appearance disguises what is really a dynamic business. Everyday we are busy with what amounts to two businesses in one. Our retail store and our goldsmith shop. Although both require different kinds of effort, together they allow us to offer our customers a unique jewelry shopping experience. You can peruse our showcases and find lovely pieces in platinum, 18 karat, 14 karat and sterling silver. We offer both traditional and unique designs made in our shop as well as those made by other manufacturers and craftsmen. You will find beautiful wedding sets or fashion rings that are made to last, gold necklaces and bracelets that are guaranteed, vivid and rich diamonds or colored gems as well as a fine selection of Fresh Water, Akoya and Tahitian pearls. But it doesn't stop there. Unlike many stores we offer more than what you see in our showcases. We are active daily with custom requests and we have the talent and experience to satisfy those requests. Our staff includes GIA trained personnel, a college graduate with a metal arts degree and two technical school graduates trained in jewelry making. We practice model making, lost wax casting, fabrication, hand engraving and stone setting as we have over 30 years of experience. Using the tools and equipment in our shop combined with the talent and ability of our goldsmiths we create beautiful and well made jewelry every day. You can select from our Ideal cut diamonds ( the most brilliant diamonds available a nywhere! ) or our collection of colored gemstones in various price ranges. Then our staff will help design your unique piece. Some customers have specific design ideas. Others hesitate, saying they have difficulty envisioning a piece to be made. Our job is to assist you through a step by step process that will become an enjoyable experience and result in your guaranteed satisfaction. Regardless of the general style of a custom made piece our goal is always based on three criteria; Beauty, Longevity, and Comfort. The one on one process of designing and producing hand made jewelry is obviously more expensive than mass produced jewelry. This is one reason why we also offer finished jewelry made by other quality manufacturers. But there is yet another option which allows you to have a piece made in our store without the higher cost that the "one of a kind" process demands. Over the years we have amassed an inventory of reproduction molds of many styles. With the models from these molds we can use your gold or ours to cast a new ring or pendant. By choosing an existing model you lower our shop time. This option allows you a savings as you enjoy the quality that we guarantee in all of the jewelry that we make. The jewelry industry has changed dramatically in the past decade and competition to sell jewelry from various venues has become
