"No, Really, I Love It!"

All over the world, in many different languages*, people who have just removed ribbons and bows and opened their gift pronounce these very words, realizing their expression may have not exactly communicated enthusiasm. They smile. They say thank you so much. So, so much. Then they call the Jewelry Doctor.

 

“Help!”  

 

What follows is an explanation that they love their one-and-only (or one of their many admirers; people vary), but what is often referred to as “That Thing”? Not so much.

 

Fear not, jewelry lovers. Help is at hand. Read on—and then call your friendly neighborhood** Jewelry Doctor at 415/796-3969 (text 415/596-4244) and we will make it all better.

*”What do you mean, ‘many languages’? How many do you speak?”

Can That Be Sour Cream on Rudolph's Nose?, or Those Holidays Get Closer Every Time You Look

b. We have lots of wonderful jewelry for whatever holiday you’re celebrating.

 

So give us a call at 415/796-3969 (ask for Laynie) or send a message to 415/596-4244 and let’s put our heads together about what will most delight the people on your list.

 

And honey? Call us now (yes, you can finish your latke** or gingerbread cookie first) so we can get everything ready for you in time.

 

*Yes, of course, there’s no one exactly like you. But you knew that.

**And maybe save a little sour cream for tomorrow.

 

“How did you know I was eating a latke? And how did you know I was running low on sour cream?”

 

Darling, haven’t you heard?  I am a doctor. And doctors know everything.
