New Diamond Kiosk

Have you seen our new diamond design kiosk? It just arrived a couple of weeks ago and is a great addition to the store and another way that you can create something special and unique - just for you.

The kiosk features an area with 25 ring samples you can try on, an iPad that allows you to search for diamonds and other ring styles and some additional rings that you can purchase. We think that this is going to be a lot of fun. Stop in and try it!

Kimberly's Carats

Zircon sometimes contains traces of uranium, irradiating itself and changing its properties. 

Montezuma, thinking Cortes was Quetzalcoatl, gave him the god’s favorite gem: turquoise.

Tanzanite has only one source: the hills of Merelani in northern Tanzania.

December Birthstones

December has more than enouch birthstones from which to choose. There can be as many as four - Blue Zircon, Tanzanite, Turquoise and Blue Topaz.

Sky blue is the special color for those born in December and prosperity is the legendary gift offered by these beautiful birthstone gems. Opaque turquoise and transparent zircon are both prized since ancient times. And the newest birthstone, glittering purple blue tanzanite, has become one of the world’s most popular gems. Blue Topaz is also sometimes included as an additional choice for those born in December.
