Honey, Of Course We Are

“Drat, drat, and double drat!”

“What is it now, Debbie?” Sandy folded her hands and waited.

“Just this: Since they have us all working from home, I finally have time to go through my jewelry and get everything ready to take to the San Francisco Jewelry Doctor.”

“Sounds good. What’s the problem?”

“They’re probably closed, silly. Everything is closed except food stores. The government probably wouldn’t consider getting your jewelry fixed an emergency, but for those of us who have big events coming up this spring and summer it sure seems that way.”

“Debbie, did you try calling the Jewelry Doctor? I understand they do a lot of work with people outside the San Francisco Bay Area. Unless they all fly in, the Jewelry Doctor probably works with them via mail and messenger services.”

Right you are, Sandy. 

So Debbie? Not to worry. We’re open for business as usual. The only difference between last month and this one is that we’re working virtually, for now. 

So call us at 415/796-3969 (text 415/596-4244), tell us all about your “patients” for the Jewelry Doctor, along with those birthdays, that anniversary, other special occasions coming up, and anything else on your wish list, and we’ll be happy to help you.

San Francisco Jewelry Doctor. We’re here for you.

What's Purple All Over?

If you said, “amethyst,” give yourself a gold star. And before this month of February is all over let’s take a moment to celebrate our friend the amethyst in all its lovely hues, from the palest of purples (the kind of color Monet would have loved) to the intensity of, say, this solitaire pendant from Stuller.

“Wait. Didn’t you write about solitaire pendants a while back?”

Why, yes. And this story will give you even more ideas for your new jewelry with that amethyst you’ve been dreaming about*.

*“How did you know about the amethyst?”

Honey, as we have previously established, I am a doctor. We know everything.

Definitely the Gingerbread

Are the cookies really better this time of year? Or do they just seem that way?  

While we ponder this and other existential questions, the Jewelry Doctor stands ready to help with those last-minute gifts for those wonderful people you know—and you, too. (Why not you?)  

More good news: You can do it all without leaving the house. So grab that coffee or cocoa or your other favorite beverage, read this inspiring story from our archives, and then call us at 415/796-3969 (text 415/596-4244).

Teresa Gets a History Lesson--And Great Gifts!

“Oh, Chanukah, Oh, Chanukah , come light the menorah—”

Well, hello! I didn’t see you come in. Just getting ready to put down the eggnog* and get ready to light the first candle of Chanukah.

What’s that? You say you didn’t know Chanukah was here?  That’s what Teresa said.  Read on. http://myjewelrydoctor.blogspot.com/2017/12/the-perfect-gift-times-eight-or-hark.html

And yes, we can still help with Christmas gifts, too. But Wednesday is right around the corner, so give us a call (415/796-3969; text 415/596-4244) and we’ll take good care of you and everyone who loves you will not magically forget your birthday or anything.  

*Metaphorical eggnog, that is; we save the real stuff for Thursday’s party with Santa, Rudy, and the rest of the fellas.

Ralph, Sam, and Life's Little Miracles

“What are you doing, Ralph?”

“What does it look like, Sammy? I’m drinking a beer and getting ready to watch one of my favorite movies.”

Sammy laughs. 

“Hello? Chanukah starts tomorrow night. And Christmas, last I checked, is Wednesday.” He waits for the panicked look on Ralph’s face. Ten, nine, eight—

But it fails to materialize. How can that be? Has something happened since last year?  Has Ralph turned into the kind of person who doesn’t care about giving gifts?  Sammy is getting worried.

“Sam, don’t you remember I told you about San Francisco Jewelry Doctor? I called Laynie (415/796-3969; text 415/596-4244) two weeks ago. My gifts are already gift-wrapped and hidden in a safe place.”

“Wow,” says Sammy. “I thought we’d go hit the mall tonight, the way we always do.  Oh, well, good for you, I guess.” 

He sighs. “I suppose it’s too late to call San Francisco Jewelry Doctor.”

Wrong conclusion, Sammy!  Do not despair. We have lots of wonderful gifts for those on your list, and you can have ‘em in time for the holidays.

Yes, You Can Take It With You

If there were a dictionary of fictitious phrases (someone is probably 

at work on one now), “Oh, I don’t need anything” might well be 

Numero Uno.  

This can lead to a little misunderstanding when people have, shall we say, different expectations.  

“But you said—“ the surprised party says to the disappointed one.

Fortunately, this is completely avoidable by calling your friendly neighborhood* Jewelry Doctor at 415/796-3969 (text 415/596-4244). The doctor actually took classes in interpersonal communication in college (and also has access to a decoder ring). She is happy to share the knowledge gained thereby with her happy customers, who are never again caught empty-handed and have a feeling of joy and contentment wherever in the world they travel.  (We hear Brazil is delightful this time of year.)  

While we put the finishing touches on another holiday treasure, here’s a story from our archives on this very subject.

Oh!  That’s the phone. It must be you.

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

Later, Somebody Heard the Horse Say, "That Was Impressive." The Doctor Just Smiled.

One minute you’re humming a happy tune, all excited about the party tomorrow night. Suddenly disaster looms. What to do?  

Call the doctor—the Jewelry Doctor, that is.
