Thanks, Sandy!

Most of our customers are online, but not all, and some prefer to keep a low profile. Here’s a note from a happy customer we'll call “Sandy.”  

My engagement ring sports my grandmother’s European-cut diamond. My husband and I laughed that our wedding, over 25 years ago, was a BYOD (Bring Your Own Diamond) affair.  

Some time ago I noticed that the diamond was loose and that a fault in the diamond had become a chip. I was afraid the stone would fall out. I actually stopped wearing my ring, not knowing who could fix it properly.

I took the ring to Laynie Tzena to see if anything could be done. Her diamond cutter reshaped the stone and redid the prongs. The diamond and the ring came back better than I remembered, and certainly far more beautiful than I had imagined possible. I admire it all the time, as I wear it confidently morning, noon and night.

My daughter, who was away at college, noticed the ring almost the moment she came home for a break. Even my husband commented how sparkly my ring looks, although I am still unsure if he noticed it was off my hand since 2006. 

Glad to help, Sandy—what a beautiful ring!—and here’s wishing you many more healthy, happy years together.

New Beginnings

"My husband came to me after all these years together and told me he was gay.  I want him to be happy--I love the guy--so we ended the marriage. I know it was the right thing to do. But now every time I look at the ring, I start to cry. What can we do?"

This.

"Thank you," read the note that arrived a few days later, "for taking something painful and turning it into something beautiful."

Anytime, honey. As my mother always says, 'Wear it in good health!"
