Sounds trite to say, but it’s so true: The holidays really will be here before you know it! So — if this is the year you want to make a memory for someone with a special custom piece, you and I should be talking very soon. Don’t think for a moment I am just talking…
Designer jewelry is often easy to spot by its trademark “look” or “signature design.” I’m happy to say that hasn’t happened to me. I don’t want to get placed in a certain design category. I like to explore and have fun when I create a custom piece of jewelry. When I am looking at a…
Sometimes you see the jewelry of your dreams on a hot Tuesday afternoon in July – with no anniversary in sight, and you’re not quite ready to scoop it up for yourself. I think that’s what our wish list is for. And we have a sweet one at Aronstam Fine Jewelers. Our wish list does…
