Lab-grown diamonds are becoming more popular each year
Lab-grown diamonds have increased in popularity in recent years for several reasons. They are physically identical to mined diamonds, but cost a fraction of the price.
Whether customers are saving money for a house or a wedding, lab-grown diamonds have given people the opportunity to still be able to purchase a beautiful piece of jewelry within their budget.
Flowers aren’t the only gift option for homecoming or prom
Homecoming and prom are memorable events for many teens, but did you know there are other affordable options in addition to flowers or corsages?
“Most people don’t think about alternative gifts, but you can purchase a nice bracelet for around the same price as flowers,” according to Haggerty.
“People often overlook jewelry as an affordable gifting option,” she said, but Jacob Matthew Jewelers has something for every occasion.
Jewelry is one of the most memorable gifts
Chances are, if you ask someone about a piece of jewelry they’re wearing, they will remember exactly when, where and from whom they received it.
When it comes to gift giving, jewelry is one of the most sentimental and meaningful gifts.
“It’s a nice sentiment for a child starting a new chapter in their life,” Haggerty said. “They have a piece of home to wear as a reminder of from where they came.”
Whether it’s a promise ring they wear until they become engaged, a classic pair of diamond or pearl studs to a watch for daily wear, jewelry is the perfect gift for all of life’s milestones.
Your unwearable jewelry or family heirlooms can be repaired and restored like new
Many people inherit jewelry they simply don’t wear because it has been well loved—maybe the gemstone is worn or clasp is broken. Did you know that Jacob Matthew Jewelers offers state-of-the-art repair and restoration services? If it’s a style you don’t like, they can also redesign the piece into something more your taste.
Through jewelry restoration and regular maintenance, your meaningful jewelry will remain beautiful and wearable for future generations.
Their jewelry repair services encompass everything from repairing chains, tightening gemstones and rebuilding worn jewelry to professional cleaning and polishing.
The full-time, in-house jewelers take time to care for each piece and provide the highest quality service that will last for years to come.
It’s better to shop with an independent jeweler
While it’s convenient to order jewelry online or from a chain store, you completely bypass the personalized approach and wealth of knowledge local jewelers have gained.
“We want to make you happy,” Haggerty said. “We see you around town, live in your community and can talk to you and help you select the best piece of jewelry for you and your lifestyle. We’d love the opportunity to give you a free consultation for any of your jewelry needs.”
