First post

Hello to all. Testing my first post.

Bellissmo!


Murano glass is one of our newest arrivals. Each piece is handmade in Italy so no two are ever the same. Wishlists will definitely start to fill up with these gorgeous pieces!

Always nice to see my favorites when they come in for a cleaning. Got to give this one a nice cleaning and polishing today.

Happy Halloween!


Did this ring last year for someone. Not another one like it anywhere in the world!

Epic


Delivered last week.

Ok, first blog post. Doing a really cool band for a customer and got the wax in yesterday. Absolutely beautiful but was missing a small part so it had to go back to grow another. This is going to be one incredibly beautiful ring when finished and I'm really excited about it.

Dumping diamonds

This is how it starts.

Picking diamonds

This is how I start sorting a pile of diamonds. There are about 40
carats of diamonds in this picture.

This Diamond.

ANTWERP

October 24 marks the departure date for J David Jewelries biggest diamond buying trip. The fact that Joel travels to Belgium, Antwerp EVERY year to hand pick diamonds is fascinating to me. I don't claim to know the ins and outs of everything jewelry related, but when you are cutting 3-4 middle men out handling these diamonds and all their fees you're going to save so much and when I see the excitement in his face talking about this. I'm tellin ya, the excitement rubs off on to you.

My role in this trip is to bring the story back to you. To explain why he goes, what exactly goes on there, how the diamond buying process works and to show you, from Antwerp, how this trip benefits you. Needless to say I'm really looking forward to October 24, but there are lots to do before the trip and so many great things happening here a J David Jewelry.

More to come...
