(208)

Our mission is simple - we want to be the best full service jewelry store in the world. Currently we're settling for Western New York, but just give us time. Our store is focused on providing exemplary service and the absolute best value for all of your jewelry needs. We'll work hard to gain your trust, and even harder to never lose it. This extends to everything we do, from appraisals, to sales,

to buying your unwanted jewelry at honest market pricing. We don't have a store front, but prefer instead to welcome our customers as guests into our spacious office suite. We don't buy into the notion that buying fine jewelry should be intimidating, and we certainly don't believe that the best prices are on the net or in a big chain. We also don't sell mass produced pieces of jewelry. Our philosophy is that jewelry is an intensely personal thing and each piece is handpicked by owner and Graduate Gemologist Barbara Oliver for quality of the gems and craftsmanship. And when you want to explore your inner artisan, we'll work with you to create a custom piece that is yours and yours alone.

Paige and Michael are getting hitched! They live over 3 hours away and between the engagement ring visits and now the diamond cradle, they have about 12 hours drive time invested. Talk about making your jeweler feel very special! We used grandma's diamond for her center stone, and crafted her stunning diamond insert band as well making Paige's bridal jewelry even meaningful. Diamonds from her Michael and her family now married in her forever rings. You can see the look of joy on both of their faces. Their excitement, kindness and love for one another made this jeweler so "very engaged" in making sure it was worth every mile.....

My bestie and very understated, non-flamboyant friend Lidia had her original anniversary ring diamond from days and husband of yore. She also has been a diamond hoarder for years and wanted a ring that was just as glamourous as she (one of the many reasons I love her). Yellow gold with a hammered satin finish, it's almost as dazzling as she. All mined diamonds, only about 4 carats of sparkle, now she can be spotted from space......

Stunning ensemble for the bride to be. Crystal and Thomas are getting hitched! They wanted to celebrate all the happiness with signature pieces for the big day and all the days thereafter. The earrings are jackets that can be worn with Crystals stunning oval diamond studs, or swapped out with any post earring for versatility, when a pearl or earring of color is needed for a different pop. The neckpiece, I have to admit I covet. A little bit about Crystal, she was named appropriately as she sparkles in personality from head to toe, literally. Yes even her sneakers have sparkly laces for heavens sake! She's just a force to be reckoned with and Thomas is her perfect match. Two beautiful, intelligent, funny folks, who are kind as well. We love them both. They came in today for the big reveal and you can see from the looks on their faces, all the joy of the moment.

Lynsey found us on FB and drove the hour to meet us and see what could be done with her grandmothers wedding band diamonds that mom was so nice to share. Lynsey is a happily married young mom and they didn't' really get the time to properly adorn her finger the way she always wanted. We used all of grandma's diamonds and added the beautiful mined center oval for her dream wedding set! Classic elegance, crafted to be worn without care everyday. The highlight for me? Lynsey let me know she was not a hugger, but would it be ok if I got one. Uh, yes, that means more to me than anything. Gloomy day, but for the best as she won't drive all that way home distracted by all the sparkles.

Just for something a little different, no story (oh they are coming) just two vintage bracelets that are in need of good re-homing. I take in a lot of antique pieces all the time but rarely get beauties like these in fabulous condition with gorgeous stones so I felt compelled to share. They are getting a place of honor in our Estate case, and rightfully so until one of you falls in love and gives them their worthy wrists to adorn. Call me at 716-204-1297or DM me for all the intel or just ooooh and ahhhh from the pictures as you like. Have a wonderful sunny weekend everyone :D

GEORGE! If you've been with us for a while you see a lot of familiar wonderful folks always there cheering us on ( most of you ;) ) George, who has become one of our dearest friends over the years, and an aficionado of fine things, decided enough treating of his beloved spouse and now it was his turn to shine. Boasting over 3 carats of delicious old cut diamondness, George wanted a ring to be classy and sophisticated for generations to enjoy for centuries. Nailed it my friend and your reaction for the first view was perfect. I told you it would be awesome. We had a drum roll in the backround just to make the big reveal even more anticipatory. I love you my buddy, wear it well!

If you are lucky, you get that one friend who you ride with your whole life, through thick and thin, Thelma and Louise style, or in our case Ruth and Karen. Sisters by different mothers since they were 8, now 3500 miles apart in distance yet never in spirit. Just a phone call or plane trip away. Worth the trip for Karen, who lives in San Diego, all geared up to see her Ruthie, and for them both to be together for the big reveal of their "You and Me" pendants. Avid bikers who also share January birthdays, garnets for their birthstone, and a diamond in the mix, because as we were cycling through design ideas they were just in tandem with the design. The love they share is a joy to behold, I hope you all have been blessed to have that friend. Enjoy your weekend and thanks for being here!

Something wonderful for Susan and something just as wonderful for moi. When Susan and John came into the shop looking for her "Special" birthday gift, we looked through all the showcases until they had that moment where time stood still and you could literally hear the angels sing. Sapphires and diamonds, the most delicious kind of all, the perfect ring, clearly meant to be the one. Happy Birthday beautiful lady.
They came in today to pick it up all sized and ready, but wait, there is a bag with something in it for me????
Susan MADE me a white chocolate jewelry box!!!!!!! I was and still am flabbergasted by the thoughtfulness, and generosity of this amazing creation. Too pretty to eat, however I will soldier on, the first bite being the hardest (kind of like breaking a $100 bill) . I'm not sure which of us received the better gift. Susan and John, my new best friends, may we celebrate many more birthdays and not just for the chocolate. Kindest, most lovely folks ever, I know your day was made sweeter, just as mine was

Maria brought in some gold to use toward her new wedding band. Her original set needing a re-design, along with some other pieces no longer desired. There was that bird pin, the one with the ruby eyes, Oh that one was her mom's. Maria said it was her mom's favorite piece and she remembered her always wearing it. You know every custom piece tells a story and we carried on the tradition for her. I did an avian surgical procedure on the little birdie( he didn't feel a thing nor mind) and we added those ruby eyes to the inside of Maria's new band, just as a little "we love you" and mama is watching over you. Her joy and tears were the thing that made my day and of course hers. Have a wonderful weekend you all!
