In Which You Are Once Again The Hero

 “It can’t be!” says the person who most would see as a fine, stand-up individual, the one who, even during the tail end of a less-than-fun event in our lives, has managed to remember birthdays, anniversaries, you-name-it.

 

But it is.

 

“Is what?” says the person, also fine and upstanding, but one who has been, well, like many of us, marveling at the first person and others who have sailed around the world (staying onboard, solo, with provisions, so as not to contract you-know-what) or written a bestseller or found the love of their lives or shown a certain someone the door or—well, you can fill in the blank.

 

Mother’s Day. Sunday.  

 

Now for the good news: Your friendly neighborhood* Jewelry Doctor has all kinds of wonderful gifts for the mom in your life (and her mom, too). 

 

“It’ll never get to her in time!”

 

Not to worry, honey. When your mom called recently we discussed everything and she, of course, understands. So we have a lovely little insert you may include with your card** that will magically extend Mother’s Day for your mom or Nana until the gift actually arrives on her doorstep.

 

Now all you need to do is call the doctor—the Jewelry Doctor, that is—at 415/796-5969 (text 415/596-4244). 

 

Oh, and honey? Do it now.

 

San Francisco Jewelry Doctor. Making special occasions even more so.

 

*If you can read this, we’re in the neighborhood.

**Greeting card, not business card. But you knew that.

Pandemic (and Post-Pandemic) Mommy

Okay, giving birth was harder. We grant that. And Mommy is probably vaccinated by now. So, depending on her vintage, she may well be painting the town red (and will happily explain that expression to you, if you ask).  

 

Still, can you imagine being a mother during the pandemic? What’s that? You yourself are a mother? The Jewelry Doctor stands in awe, hoping you can hear her applause. (She is not joking. You are impressive.)

 

Now where were we? Oh, yes. We were thinking about a certain holiday coming up May 9, which mothers know is this very Sunday. (Mothers also could tell you your birthday—well, you always remember that—and your anniversary, as well as your siblings’ and cousins’ birthdays and anniversaries. She also remembers what you wore to that party even though she begged you not to, but she keeps her mouth shut. [She has read Deborah Tannen.])

 

So, beloved sons and daughters, let us get with the program. Stuller has lots of lovely Mother’s Day gifts (which can be enjoyed year-round). Here are a couple items that caught our eye.

If your mom prefers handcrafted jewelry, she’ll love the Laynie Tzena collection of pendants, necklaces, bracelets, and earrings featuring gemstones, Venetian glass, porcelain, and Swarovski crystal). Just write to us here or mention it when you call, and we’ll be happy to send images your way.  

 

Special note to moms reading this: Of course we can provide gift ideas that you can discreetly mention to those who want to honor you on your special day but are not sure what you would like.  

 

“I’m on it! What’s that number again?”

 

Glad you asked! The Jewelry Doctor is here for all your Mother’s Day (and any other) jewelry needs. Call us at 415/796-3969, or text 415/596-4244.  

 

Oh, there’s the phone. Hope it’s you!
