New Diamond Bracelets

Every year Ron and John head out to market and their one goal is to bring back the best jewelry for their customers. Jackson Jewelers has carried Start-to-Finish bracelets, but now we carry the best styles in store. What is a Start-to-Finish bracelet? It is a diamond link bracelet that comes in 14K yellow or white gold. Most bracelets are purchased with one or three links, and each link has a diamond. The great thing about these bracelets is that you can purchase them with however many links you want. At first you may want to start with one link and add to it as time goes by, or you can start with three or more. Links can be added one at a time or however many you want. It is as flexible as you want it to be. However fast you want to complete the bracelet is completely up to you. You are in control.
It is the perfect gift for someone who wants to add to their jewelry with each special occasion. Start-to-Finish's new slogan, "Connect to Life's Special Occasions", captures the appeal of the link bracelet concept. Another great aspect of these bracelets is that they are moderately priced and sure to appeal to a variety of our customers, regardless of age or budget!
Men, I know you like to buy special gifts for your ladies, especially gifts that you can build for her and you do not have to worry about what to get her when the next birthday, anniversary, or "just because" occasion comes around. It's a gift that keeps on giving.
So, come in to Jackson Jewelers to see what styles Ron and John are carrying. Below is just one example of what style bracelet you can choose from.

November's Gemstone: Citrine

One of the most frequently asked question at our store when someone is choosing a gift is, “What is the gemstone for this month?” Whether you are looking for a gift for birthdays, anniversaries, or anything special during a particular month, most people want to know what stone is significant for that month. Now on our blog, each month you can learn a little bit more about each month’s gemstone.

November’s stone is Citrine. It is the birthstone for November as well as the traditional anniversary gemstone for the 13^th wedding anniversary. Citrine comes in vivid yellows and oranges, and can also be found in the unusual “Madeira red”. Citrine can be found in Brazil, Spain, Russia, France, Scotland, and the USA. Its name actually comes from an old French world for lemon – “citrin”.

With its brightness and sometimes sunshine yellow color, Citrine is the ideal gemstone for helping anyone get through tough times. Giving citrine as a gift also symbolizes wishes for hope and strength.

Jackson Jewelers carries many beautiful pieces of jewelry in all different shapes, sizes, and price ranges in Citrine. Of course, you can only truly see the beauty of jewelry in person. Come in to see what we have in store just for you.

How to care for your pearls

We all want to properly care for our jewelry. Most of you stop by Jackson Jewelers to let us clean and check your jewelry, but what do you do for your pearls? Here are a few tips to help you properly care for you pearls:

• Your pearls will stay cleaner if you put them on after you’ve applied your makeup and perfume.
• Be sure to take off your pearl rings before you apply hand and body creams.
• Wipe your pearls with a soft, lint-free cloth as soon as you take them off. The cloth can be dampened with water or it can be dry. If damp, allow the pearls to air dry before putting them away. (Jackson Jewelers carries great jewelry cloths, ask us about them the next time you stop by.)
• Dirty pearls can be cleaned with a mild soap and water solution. (It is best to use a bowl of warm soapy water. Let your pearls soak for a few minutes, then allow them to air dry before you put them away.)
• Never clean your pearls with solutions that contain ammonia or harsh detergents.
• Don’t put pearl jewelry in an ultrasonic cleaner.
• Don’t use abrasive cleaners or rub pearls with abrasive cloth. Both can wear away the nacre coating, leaving you with a plain looking bead.

What’s the best way to store your pearls?

Don't store your pearls with other jewelry, because they can be scratched easily when metal or gemstones rub against them. Find a special slot in your jewelry box for the pearls, or keep them in a soft bag.

Your fine pearl necklaces should be restrung periodically so that you're sure the silk or nylon cord holding them is in good shape.  If you think it is time for your pearls to be restrung, bring them into Jackson Jewelers and let our staff take a look at them. If they need to be restrung, we can take care of that for you too.

New Pearls just in time for Fall!

In my opinion the most timeless piece of jewelry is pearls. A strand of pearls is a classic piece of jewelry that every woman should have in her jewelry box. I know most of you think about the traditional white pearls that you see your grandmother wearing on her wedding day, which are beautiful, but that’s not all there is to offer any more. Today’s cultured pearls come in various shades and sizes. Jackson Jewelers is carrying a new line of Starsay Collection Pearls. I know many of us get very confused when we are trying to choose a nice strand of pearls. I want to help you learn about what is important to look for when you are searching for your perfect strand of pearls. The pearls most of us wear these days are cultured pearls. What are cultured pearls? Cultured pearls are made by an oyster, mussel, or clam. The Starsay Collection pearls in particular are made from a mussel. The process is actually initiated by man. Man inserts a one millimeter of mantle tissue into the mussel. This tissue secretes nacre and initiates the development of a pearl in a pearl sack. The entire pearl is nacre. The nacre gives pearls their unique appearance. As the nacre thickness increases, so does the quality and durability of the pearl and the greater the luster. Pearls with a good quality luster display sharp light reflections. Pearls with low luster look milky, chalky, and dull. You want a pearl that will show the contrast between the bright and darker areas of the pearl. The Starsay Collection pearls do just that. Look below to check out some of the photos of the new line. Jackson Jewelers has great new shades just in time for fall. You really need to head into Jackson Jewelers to really see what they have to offer in their new Starsay Collection of pearl strands, bracelets, and earrings. Check back tomorrow to learn how to properly care for your pearls!
