These earrings have a romantic feel to them—

—which was lost on CeeJay. “Not me,” she said. “What else can we do?”
We looked at a number of options. Here’s the one CeeJay chose.
Here’s another look.
And one from the top.
Now the color of that amethyst really sings. I don’t know if CeeJay does—I’ll have to ask her—but she seems very happy with her new earrings.

Here’s a pretty bracelet. Don’t you love that pattern?
“Oh, well,” somebody says. “I guess there’s nothing we can do.”
Au contraire! In many cases we can fix that clasp or, if need be, replace it. But Lynne had something different in mind. She included a note with her bracelet.
So we did, choosing a Rolo chain to echo one of the elements of the bracelet pattern and a complementary chain for the companion earrings.

“I’m not sure what to do with this,” said Lynne.
“I don’t belong here!” said the Venetian glass.
“Don’t blame us,” said the leopard skin jasper. “We were doing just fine before you showed up.”
The Jewelry Doctor listened to the conversation and put on her thinking cap. She began with the Venetian glass, which she thought looked familiar. Did she have some of its cousins on hand, from a show way back when?
Indeed.
Lynne is also happy. “I love it!” she says.
“Very nice. But what happened to the round ones?” you ask.
They became earrings. Might have a picture. We shall see.
“And what about the leopard skin jasper?”
Stay tuned.

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.
