October 21, 2019Bringing home that sparkling, new piece of jewelry is an exciting moment in your life! A new gemstone ring, a pair of luxurious gold cufflinks, or a quality watch is a fabulous addition to your ongoing jewelry collection, but how would you feel if you lost that new item? What about if a favorite vintage piece goes missing while you’re out and about doing errands? We insure our homes, our cars, our lives, but we don’t often think about insuring our jewelry. Jewelry insurance is a simple, yet incredibly effective insurance policy that all jewelry owners should consider. For a small annual premium, consumers can enjoy the peace of mind that comes with jewelry insurance.

February 18, 2014The word heirloom is defined as, "a valuable object that has belonged to a family for several generations". What makes a piece of jewelry an heirloom? Value, quality and beauty are all important factors. For me, it's the stories behind the piece. There are stories of love, dreams, accomplishments, and sometimes even loss. Jane is one of the very first guests I ever worked with at Day's. Over the past year she has become a very close friend. Jane is a single woman, no children, and she contends with some pretty serious health issues. She started buying jewelry to lift her spirits! It all began with a ...Read more »
