Another Happy Couple

As we enter the room, Rhonda and Bill are sitting by the fire. Rhonda stirs the coals, sits down and says, “Bill, honey, remember how I was saying I was thinking about how nice it would be to have a new gold chain, and maybe a couple of other things, too?”

“’Deed I do,” says Bill, giving Spot a treat.

“Well, someone just told me gold is at $1651* an ounce today, the lowest it’s been since August!”

Bill smiles.

“So help me, Rhonda, you have the greatest timing. I was just trying to decide on your gift. I know: why don’t you call Laynie at San Francisco Jewelry Doctor and pick out some pretty things?”

Rhonda jumps up and down. Spot follows suit. “Bill,” she says, “I love you so! I always will,” and on her way to the phone she leans over to give him a kiss, as we quietly depart.

Yes, it is the most wonderful time of the year, if you ask the Jewelry Doctor. 415/796-3969.

*The fine print: Remember, that’s today’s gold market price. So all the gold jewelry you order today (and yes, PayPal, MC, and Visa are all fine) by 3 p.m. PST will be priced at $1651/oz., even if the market closes higher.

Baby, It’s You: “Popping the Question” During the Holiday Season

Raise your hand if you, too, love those “How we met” stories. Got a great one? Sing out! 

I also love hearing how people “pop the question.” Lots of them do it during the holiday season. (Is it all those lights that make your certain someone look irresistible?)

Are you getting ready to pop the question? Yes, there’s still time, but those calendar pages are turning, so don’t delay. And good news:  you’re not limited to what this or that store buyer decided you’d like, and you don’t have to stand in those lines. Just call 415/796-3969. (If you’re getting married this month and still need a companion band for your sweetheart, your own ring, or gifts for the bridal party, happy to help there, too.)

As a bonus, couples that got engaged in a previous December, send in your stories. If yours gets featured, you’ll get ten percent off a pair of earrings (or, for men, a pair of cufflinks) to complement that ring.

Here’s a great one I heard recently: Knowing that his sweetheart loves crossword puzzles, our hero created a custom-made one, making it look like something you’d find in a magazine and planting it in the car (they were on a vacation) so she would find it.  The answer to the last clue was, “Will you marry me?”

How romantic is that? Hooray!

Can’t wait to hear your stories, and help you with your rings. Call 415/796-3969, and let’s put our heads together about the best choice for you and the one you love.
