It’s that time of year again... this weekend marks our annual Holiday Diamond & Designer Showcase! The one time of year we overstock our Richmond area stores with loose diamonds, engagement rings and diamond jewelry. It’s also the only weekend we offer a special reward to our customers - 10% back on purchases over $2995*. We’ll have special financing available and other gifts with purchase. So, if you were looking for the ideal time of year to select and engagement ring, upgrade an older ring or find the perfect gift for the most important person on your list, it’s now.

To get your gift giving juices flowing, we thought we'd give you a little sneak peek at a few our favorite pieces from the event:

Charles Krypell Diamond Necklace

Since 1976, Charles Krypell has been designing jewelry inspired by human nature in a effort to touch the minds and hearts of customers around the world. His passion is to provide the best quality jewelry to his customers in the hopes that they “not only love the pieces they buy, but to feel important wearing them.”

This necklace is from Charles’s Precious Pastel collection and features 1.95 carats of oval diamonds and .5 carats of full cut diamonds that all set in white gold. This is the perfect piece to wear with all necklines and from the office to holiday party.

Hearts On Fire Diamond Engagement Ring

Established in 1996 by Glenn and Susan Rothman, Hearts On Fire was originated on the finding of an unusually cut diamond that displayed a hearts and fireburst pattern created by its perfectly symmetrical cut. People often described it as a “ten table diamond” because its brilliance can be seen from across the room (no matter the size).

This solitaire engagement ring is from the Camilla collection and highlights a single round diamond set in 18k white gold accented by smaller diamonds cascading down either side of the shank. The truly wonderful part about this ring is that you can select a center diamond or have a family heirloom set in it instead.

Fire & Ice Diamond Pendant

Fire & Ice Diamonds are the result of extensive research conducted by the Gemological Institute of America (GIA) and the American Gem Society (AGS) concerning the behavior of light in a diamond. In fact, the owners of Schwarzschild Jewelers, the Schiffman Family, were part of the team to determine Fire & Ice’s standards that maximize radiant light and sparkle from the top of the gemstone.

This pendant is a classic piece that should be in every woman’s jewelry box (hint, hint, you can’t go wrong with this as a gift…). It features a .76 carat diamond set in white gold and each stone is inscribed with its GIA, AGS and F&I serial numbers.
