Pro Tip for Great Gifts: Build, Baby, Build!

A time-honored way to know your gift will be a winner is to build on something your loved one already adores. “Bill”* has such a story.

 

Dear San Francisco Jewelry Doctor:

 

I am so excited! For once, I know what to get for my holiday gift. Ever since I bought that gold curb chain from you last year my wife hasn’t stopped wearing it. I actually have to remind her that she has other jewelry she could wear!  

 

“Very nice,” you say. "But why, aside from your newfound confidence (which we applaud), are you excited about this year’s gift?”

 

Well! I looked at that holiday gift guide from Stuller you just mentioned, and what did I find? Curb. Earrings. Curb earrings! And then when I took a look at the earrings on the site I noticed a curb ring. With an emerald. She has green eyes. She’s going to love it. Thank you!

 

Bill

 

You are so welcome, Bill. Those earrings are really pretty.

Be like Bill. Choose a gift that builds on the last successful one.**

Crowds Not So Pleasing, or Time to Call the (Jewelry) Doctor

“Oh, no! I'm toast! Why didn't I call Laynie at San Francisco Jewelry Doctor in time? I'll have to sit in traffic and stand in line--and maybe lose one of my toes, the way Sammy did!”

Not to worry, honey. Our handcrafted jewelry (you know, the pendants and necklaces and bracelets and earrings everybody raves about) is available until tomorrow afternoon. And if your loved ones are, shall we say, ever so slightly challenging to shop for, we have gift certificates.

As for Sammy, someone substantial did step on a toe or two at that big box store. But you know, he has that dramatic side to him. We saw him dancing later that night.

San Francisco Jewelry Doctor. We make people happy.

Okay, it's true, we can't make you happy. But we can help. 415/796-3969.
