Luxury Diamond Earrings Sale Priced Below One Thousand Dollars in Seattle,Washington

Posted on May 20, 2013 by Alissa

Everyone knows that in Seattle, the coffee is superior—and it is everywhere. But most people do not know that they can find luxury diamond earrings sale priced below one thousand dollars in Seattle, Washington. I did just that recently when I needed a gift for my wife for our upcoming anniversary.

As usual, I was at my local coffee shop getting my large cup of superior blend coffee along with a whole wheat raisin muffin. I sat down at my regular table and read the newspaper. When you are retired like I am, you have time to stop and smell the roses a bit more—or stop and grab a cup of coffee and read. My table is near a window that looks out at a shopping center across the way. For some reason that morning, I looked over to see this huge sign that read “Big Sale—Everything Half Price”. It was difficult to miss since it was big and brightly colored. It was also blowing around a lot from the strong Seattle wind.

When I was done with my coffee and muffin, I left the shop and headed over to the store to see what was happening. I had no idea it was a jewelry store, but since I already made the walk over there I figured I would go inside anyway. Little did I know I would find luxury diamond earrings sale priced below one thousand dollars in Seattle, Washington.

I walked around the store to see what they had. For all the times I had been nearby at the coffee shop, I never once went to the shopping center so this was all new to me. The jewelry was nothing out of the ordinary, but the prices appeared to be very good with the special half-price sale. Suddenly, a man walked over to me and asked if I needed any help.

“Well, I wasn’t planning on coming in here, but I saw your sign so I figured I would check it out,” I explained. “I actually do need a gift for my wife. Our anniversary is coming up soon.”

“Do you know if there is anything special she wants?” he asked me.

“Yeah—anything would be fine with her as long as it is jewelry,” I joked.

I continued walking around the store to make sure I did not miss anything. When I got to the earrings, it suddenly dawned on me that my wife has always said she doesn’t have a nice pair of diamond earrings. I am not sure why I just remembered that, but since I did, maybe that will be my gift to her. I took a much closer look at the earrings to see if there was anything I thought my wife would like (as if she would not like diamonds).

Then I spotted them—a beautiful pair of round diamond earrings set in white gold. They were simple, I will admit, but they were diamonds and they were on the large side. I asked the salesman if I could look at them closer. He took them out of the case for me and I inspected them to see if they were as nice in person as they appeared in the brightly lit case.

“These are absolutely spectacular,” the salesman said to me. “The quality on these diamonds is very high which is why they are more money than some of the others.”

When I looked at the tag, I was shocked to see that the price was twelve hundred dollars. I love my wife, but no way was I about to pay more than a thousand dollars for a small pair of stud earrings. Then the salesman continued his conversation.

“But since we are having our big sale, those earrings are half the price,” he explained.

Now things were a bit different. I could get these gorgeous earrings for six hundred dollars. That was a lot more reasonable—still a lot of money—but more manageable than twelve hundred dollars. And since it was our anniversary and my wife has always said she wanted diamond earrings, I thought why not?

I told the salesman I wanted to purchase them and he commended me on my excellent taste. I am just happy that I not only found a gift I know my wife would love, but I also found an awesome luxury diamond earrings sale priced below one thousand dollars in Seattle, Washington.

Select Diamond Bracelets Priced Below Eight Hundred and Fifty Dollars in El Paso, Texas

Posted on May 17, 2013 by Alissa

My sister and I are off to see if we can find select diamond bracelets priced below eight hundred and fifty dollars in El Paso, Texas. No, the bracelets are not for us, but rather, for our mother. Actually, it is a gift to our mother from our father. My dad is not one for shopping so he asked my sister and I to find our mother a birthday gift for her—specifically a diamond bracelet. So that is our job for today.

Unlike my dad, my sister and I love shopping so we know where to go and who has the best prices on select diamond bracelets priced below eight hundred and fifty dollars in El Paso, Texas. He does not realize just how lucky he is to have us to help him out with this important task.

My sister and I left promptly at eleven o’clock in the morning. We quickly grabbed a cup of coffee from a nearby coffee shop and then made our way into the heart of El Paso. We have both lived here all of our lives and I am even starting college at the University of Texas at El Paso in the fall. I am very excited that I can stay in the city I love so much.

The first stop my sister and I make is at this little jewelry store right on the outskirt of the city. The only reason I know about it is because we both had gone there many years ago to get our ears pierced and they were very kind and very affordable. And since dad gave us a budget to work with, we have to go where the deals are.

When we walk inside, it is just how we remembered it. Not much had changed in all these years, but we loved that—it was still familiar. We even remembered the chip in one of the glass cases that was still there unrepaired and untouched. My sister and I chuckled when we saw it was exactly how we remembered it.

“Hi girls,” said a loud voice. “Is there something I can help you with?”

“Yes,” I answered. “My sister and I need to find a diamond bracelet for our mom, but it is from our dad so it needs to look like something he got her AND it has to be less than eight hundred and fifty dollars—his words, not ours.”

The woman laughed when I told her all of this and then she brought us over to look at some bracelets she had on display. She asked if it was for a special occasion and I told her our mom is going to be turning sixty years old so it is a milestone birthday.

My sister and I looked at the bracelets while commenting on each one. Some were too gaudy, some were too fancy, some were too big and some were just plain ugly. Good thing there was another case of bracelets to look at so we made our way over to them hoping our luck would change—and it did!

The funny thing was that my sister and I both spotted the same bracelet at the same time. It was a gold tennis bracelet, but the diamonds were set into the gold bands so it was very different than your typical diamond-only tennis bracelet. The small diamonds were bezel set into the gold slanted bands all the way around the bracelet. It was a modern twist on a traditional bracelet. We loved that. We also loved that because the diamonds were relatively small, the price should definitely be right. However, just to be sure, we asked.

“This tennis bracelet goes for seven hundred and forty dollars,” the woman told us.

Just as we heard that, my sister and I looked at each other with big smiles on our faces. We not only found the perfect bracelet that we knew our mom would love, but we also found select diamond bracelets priced below eight hundred and fifty dollars in El Paso, Texas. We had the woman wrap it up nicely for us before taking it back home.

I definitely think my sister and I should get a little something special for doing this, so with the extra one hundred dollars we had from the eight hundred and fifty dollars that dad gave us, we treated ourselves to a nice lunch.

Best Prices Under Eight Hundred and Fifty Dollars on Diamond Rings in Boston, Massachusetts

Posted on May 13, 2013 by Alissa

Boston is one terrific city! Aside from the history, the top-notch universities and colleges, and the harbor, the shopping is one of the greatest parts about living here. Open-air markets, discounted brand name clothing and high-end jewelry have all been had thanks to some exception deals I have found. So it is no surprise that I recently found the best prices under eight hundred and fifty dollars on diamond rings in Boston, Massachusetts just the other day.

Do not get me wrong. I was not looking for a diamond ring by any means, but when you see a great deal, it is difficult to pass it up. So when I saw the best prices under eight hundred and fifty dollars on diamond rings in Boston, Massachusetts, I knew I had to take advantage of it before it was gone.

About once a month, I go into downtown Boston to stock up on some fresh fish and produce that the markets have for sale. They have much better quality food than what I usually find in my local supermarket. The ride into Boston is only about twenty minutes from my house so getting there is a breeze not to mention very scenic. This day in particular was also bright and sunny so walking around Boston was going to be very enjoyable.

I parked in my usual spot (a parking garage nearby), took all my recyclable bags so I could fill them up and started making my way into the downtown area. I made all my regular stops—the organic produce stand, the fresh fish market and the healthy bakery which offers some of the most delicious brownies and cookies I have ever tasted. And the fact that they are healthy is even better. This way, if I eat more than I should, it is not so bad.

When I was done filling my bags and getting everything I needed, I made my way back to my car but took the long way so I can enjoy the beautiful outdoor air. It was then when I saw it—the most beautiful diamond ring in the display window of a jewelry store. Even though I did not need a ring, I had to go inside and look at it up close so I entered the store with all my goodies in hand.

No sooner did I walk into the shop when I heard a woman’s voice call out to me.

“I’ll be right out!” the voice said from someplace I did not know.

About ten seconds later, a woman came out from behind a wall. She was an older woman with lots of curly hair that was beginning to gray. She had a long dress and sandals on her feet. Her look reminded me of something out of the seventies and I was guessing she grew up around that time.

“Hi,” she said. “Sorry about that. I was putting some stuff away in the back. Can I help you with something?”

“Yes,” I answered. “There is a diamond ring in the window that I would like to see if you do not mind.”

“I do not mind at all,” she said. “Let me go get it.”

She got the ring and brought it over to me. I put it on right away to see how it looked. I wish I had not done that because it looked gorgeous on my hand. It was an eternity band ring set in sterling silver, but one of the bands had diamonds throughout it. The ring was the sort of style that was both casual and classy. I could wear it during the day or to a fancy occasion. It was perfect for any time, any place and any day. I had to know how much the ring cost so I asked the woman about the price.

“Well, let me see,” she said as she adjusted her glasses and took the ring to read the price tag. “Oh, well, the cost of this ring is four hundred dollars.”

The price was a lot less than I expected for a diamond ring. I guess the sterling silver setting brings the cost down a bit which was fine with me. I kept looking at the ring trying to decide if I wanted to buy it or not. I realized I may never get another opportunity to own such a stunning piece of jewelry at such an affordable price so I decided to buy it.

The woman was pleased with my decision and I was ecstatic. Not only did I get a stunner of a ring, but I also got the best prices under eight hundred and fifty dollars on diamond rings in Boston, Massachusetts.

Wholesale Prices on Diamond Pendants Below Seven Hundred Dollars in Detroit, Michigan

Posted on May 9, 2013 by Alissa

I love watching reality television and one of my favorite reality shows takes place right here in the heart of Detroit. It is called Hardcore Pawn and it is about a family-owned pawn shop. Every episode is a glimpse into the pawn business and the crazy customers that come into this particular shop each and every day. It is entertaining to say the least as customers lie, cheat and steal in an attempt to win one over on the store owners. But what they always seem to have is wholesale prices on diamond pendants below seven hundred dollars in Detroit, Michigan.

And because I am a regular watcher of the show and in need of a gift for my great aunt’s upcoming seventieth birthday, I figured why not try a pawn shop to see if they have wholesale prices on diamond pendants below seven hundred dollars in Detroit, Michigan just like on my favorite show. It was certainly worth a try

My great aunt is a big fan of jewelry so I figured that is what I would get her for this big birthday celebration. A party has been planned and there are many friends and relatives who are going to attend. It should be quite a day for her. But I am also limited on time so I need to find something quick.

I found a pawn shop that was not too far away from my house which was convenient on my way home from work. As soon as the clock hit five o’clock, I ran out the office door, got into my car and headed towards the pawn shop. The parking lot was quite crowded for that time of the day, but I took that as a good sign that maybe they will have some great wholesale prices on diamond pendants below seven hundred dollars in Detroit, Michigan.

As soon as I walked in there were two very large men who served as security guards—just like on the show I watch. I guess all pawn shops have to be careful of people looking to steal from them or cause a scene. It was easy to find the jewelry section because it was the busiest part of the store. I hope that meant the prices were good too.

All I knew is that my aunt loves jewelry, but I had no idea what type of jewelry to get her so I just looked at everything they had.

“Hi, can I help you?” said a man’s voice.

“Yeah, I’m looking for something for my great aunt’s seventieth birthday,” I answered.

“Seventy, huh? What type of jewelry does she like?” he asked.

I told him I had no clue what to get, but every time I see her, she always has lots of jewelry on—rings, bracelets, necklaces, earrings. You name it, she is wearing it. However, I did tell him that whatever I do buy needs to be less than seven hundred dollars. He assured me that would not be a problem at all.

Upon his suggestion, he took me over to the pendants because he said it is easy to find one beautiful pendant that she can wear on any of her necklaces without worrying about getting something that was not her style or did not fit. I thought that was ingenious.

I began looking at the pendants and, boy, there were a lot of them. I was a bit overwhelmed, but looking at the price tags on each of them made it easier since I knew what my budget had to be. Then I saw it—the perfect, and affordable, diamond pendant. It was a yellow gold circle with a pearl hanging from it and then through the gold circle was a larger white gold circle that had many small diamonds set in the sides of it. I think what I loved was the fact it was yellow gold, white gold, diamonds and a pearl. It had it all. Even better was the cost—four hundred and fifty dollars. I told the man that this was the pendant I wanted.

He took it out of the case so I can look at it close up before making my final decision. I looked at it and it was even more perfect than inside the glass case. The man rang me up and gave me a small white box with the pendant in it.

I left the store completely satisfied that I found the best wholesale prices on diamond pendants below seven hundred dollars in Detroit, Michigan.

Always the Lowest Prices on Diamond Earrings Under Seven Hundred Dollars inCharlotte, North Carolina

Posted on May 6, 2013 by Alissa

Living in Charlotte is like living a dream. The landscape, history, people and friendly atmosphere is what has kept me here for nearly ten years now. I came here for college, graduated in four years, became a teacher and am living the life I have always wanted. Charlotte is a big city but without the big city hassles that you see in other major cities. It is clean and the people are incredibly friendly. I also adore the shopping here because it offers always the lowest prices on diamond earrings under seven hundred dollars in Charlotte, North Carolina.

I am a sucker for earrings and probably own close to one hundred pairs. Maybe this is why I love living here so much because there are always the lowest prices on diamond earrings under seven hundred dollars in Charlotte, North Carolina. I recently found one of these deals on what was just an average day out and about running some errands.

There is the most delicious bakery in downtown Charlotte and when the mood strikes me, I find myself making the trip into the city just to satisfy my sweet tooth. My favorites are their brownies, oatmeal raisin cookies and vanilla mousse cupcakes. I stock up on all three and freeze some so that I do not eat all of it at once.

Just as I finished making my bakery purchase, I decided to go the long way back to my car since it was such a nice day. On my walk, I stumbled upon a jewelry store which I had seen many times, but never went in. But this time was different. They had a whole display of earrings in the window with a sign that said “Everything Half Price”. How could I resist going in and seeing what they had?

The store looked as if a train ran through it. Many of the display cases were either empty or disassembled. There were boxes and bubble wrap all over the floor and two ladders on either side of the store. It looked like the store owners were either moving or closing up shop. I had to ask.

“Excuse me,” I said to a man standing a few feet away. “Are you guys closing your store?”

“Oh no,” he said. “We are actually going through a major renovation next week so we have to take everything apart and off the walls. We also want to update our inventory which means getting rid of some of the stuff that has been here way longer than it should have been.”

That definitely explained the sign out front with everything half price. I asked the man if it was okay if I look around.He said it was fine and to let him know if I needed any help.

I tried to look at everything quickly since it was a bit chaotic in the store and I had my baked goods which I needed to get home soon. Of course, I headed right over to the earrings case. There were actually a lot more pairs than I thought. And there was one pair that really stood out from all of the rest.

Pink is my favorite color and staring at me from inside the glass case was this beautiful pair of pink and white diamond heart stud earrings. The center heart was a pink diamond surrounded by lots of small clear diamonds. They were elegant and sophisticated looking, but had a lot of whimsy and fun to them. I had to ask how much they were. I called over the man who I was speaking with earlier.

“Can you tell me how much this pair of earrings cost?” I asked.

“Certainly,” he said. “Let me take them out and look.”

He took them out of the case and looked at the tag. The price was originally six hundred and fifty dollars, but with the half-price sale, they were three hundred and twenty-five dollars. That was a really great price for such a beautiful pair of earrings. I thought about it for a second and could not hesitate any longer. I wanted them!

The kind man gave me a white and gold box for the earrings, but I told him I wanted to wear them home. He thanked me and I wished him lots of luck on his renovation project. I headed back home with my baked goods, brand new jewelry and the great feeling I had that in this great city are always the lowest prices on diamond earrings under seven hundred dollars in Charlotte, North Carolina.

Discount Prices on Diamond Brooches Below Seven Hundred Dollars in Phoenix,Arizona

Posted on May 2, 2013 by Alissa

My mom instructed me to take my grandmother into Phoenix for her hair appointment. She lives just outside the city and we are only five miles away. Since everyone else seemed to have plans this Saturday, I was the one in charge of grandma. I do not mind though. My grandmother is a real hoot. She makes me laugh even though she is not trying to be funny. Her cute little sayings and the way she sees things is amusing to me and I adore spending time with her. And I must admit—for a seventy-six year old woman, she still has it all together.

I knew my day with grandma was going to be eventful, but what I was not expecting was to find discount prices on diamond brooches below seven hundred dollars in Phoenix, Arizona. But that is exactly what happened right after grandma’s hair appointment.

I waited in the salon with her until she was finished. Afterwards, she told me she wanted to take a walk through the city because she was looking for a birthday gift for a friend. It is hard to believe, but my grandmother actually has many friends who are older than her and still living. They get together each week to play cards, eat and gossip. One of her dearest friends was turning eighty in two weeks and she wanted to buy her something special. So we headed down the block to see if there were any stores around where she might find a gift. Never did I expect it would be discount prices on diamond brooches below seven hundred dollars in Phoenix, Arizona.

As we slowly strolled down the street, my grandmother noticed a jewelry store and stopped to see what was in the window on display. She instantly fell in love with a diamond brooch that was there. Even though brooches are not my thing, it was really beautiful. It was in the shape of a flower where the petals were all pink diamonds with one larger round diamond in the middle. From the petals was an all-diamond stem with a diamond leaf on either side. I was a bit surprised my grandmother liked it since it had more of a modern look to it. I asked my grandmother if she wanted to go inside to see it and she said yes.

Upon entering the store, a salesman approached us and asked if we needed any help. I told him we wanted to see the pink diamond flower brooch in the display window. He politely nodded and then went to get it for us.

“Come this way,” he said as he led us over to a glass display that had several other brooches. “This is quite a lovely piece, isn’t it?”

My grandmother picked it up and started looking at it. She asked me what I thought of it and I told her it was very pretty. What I did not want to say is that it may be a lot of money since the entire brooch was made up of diamonds.

“How much does this brooch cost?” asked my grandmother.

“Well,” the salesman said with some hesitation. “We usually sell this brooch for eight hundred dollars, but this one has a bit of a flaw in it.”

“What sort of flaw?” I asked.

He explained that there was a small chip at the end of the flower’s stem. Honestly, I could not see it until he pointed it out and it was still rather small. But because of this small flaw, he was selling it for only six hundred and forty dollars. I still thought this was quite a lot of money, but my grandma seemed to be pleased with the price. She looked at it a bit more and then asked the salesman if he has a pretty box to put it in for her. I guess that meant she was going to take it. The salesman went in the back to get the box.

“Grandma,” I said. “Don’t you think this is a bit much for a friend’s birthday?”

“Yes it is, sweetie,” she said. “But at my age, my friends mean even more to me than ever and I have known Edith for twenty years and she is the first of my friends to make it to eighty years old so I think she deserves something special for that.”

I could not argue with such logic and if it made my grandma happy, then that is all that mattered. After she was done paying, I drove her back home. On the way, my mom called to see how things were going. I told her the hair appointment went well and that we were even able to find discount prices on diamond brooches below seven hundred dollars in Phoenix, Arizona. My mom had no clue what I was talking about, but that is okay—grandma and I did.

Best Prices on Diamond Necklaces Below Nine Hundred Dollars in SanFrancisco, California

Posted on April 29, 2013 by Alissa

This is my first trip to San Francisco and so far it is turning out be the best time of my life. I never realized there was so much to do here—Fisherman’s Wharf, Ghirardelli Square, Lombard Street and Chinatown. And that is just the tip of the iceberg. The dining, history and shopping are also unbelievable. While I expected to enjoy myself a great deal, I did not expect to find the best prices on diamond necklaces below nine hundred dollars in San Francisco, California while on my trip.

I took a side trip to Sausalito which I had always heard was a great place to shop. It was not terribly far and it was a good excuse to ride over the Golden Gate Bridge which I always wanted to do. I had a rental car so I was able to get there when I wanted and stay the whole day. It was even prettier than I imagined and it was also where I unexpectedly discovered the best prices on diamond necklaces below nine hundred dollars in San Francisco, California.

As I strolled through the streets, I came upon a quaint little jewelry store that had some very nice pieces in their display window. It certainly got my attention and made me go inside to see what else was in there. The store had an artsy look to it—very modern and colorful with abstract paintings hanging on some of the walls. By the looks of it, I knew this would not be the average jewelry store which means the prices were not going to be average either.

Upon my first glance of the bracelets, I was blown away by the originality and all around beauty of them. From garnets and emeralds to sapphires and opals, there was something for everyone. White gold, yellow gold, platinum and sterling silver were all for the buying and so beautifully laid out on display. I took my time going from one glass case to the next. All of a sudden, I heard a woman’s voice call out to me.

“Hello. I did not hear you come in,” she said. “Is there something I can help you with?”

“Oh, I was just looking,” I replied. “You have so many interesting pieces of jewelry here. I do not know what I like the best. They are all really beautiful.”

“Why thank you,” she said enthusiastically. “Well, take your time and let me know if you are interested in looking at anything.”

I made my way over to the necklaces and stopped dead in my tracks. The most gorgeous diamond necklace I had ever seen was staring right at me. It probably grabbed my attention because it had this stunning tear-drop shaped amethyst in it which was surrounded by diamonds that were shaped as different size eyes. There had to be two dozen of them all around the amethyst. It was on the end of a white gold link chain. Even though I knew this necklace was going to be out of my price range, I asked the woman anyway.

“How much for this stunner?” I asked.

“Oh, isn’t that just breathtaking?” the woman responded. “I absolutely adore this piece. I almost hate to sell it. The cost is eight hundred and ninety-five dollars.”

Well, I must admit I thought it would be a lot more money than that. I asked the woman why the price was not higher. She told me that although the amethyst and diamonds are real, the setting is only sterling silver and not white gold which lowers the price.

Hearing how much less the necklace was than what I expected, it was very tempting to buy it. In fact, I loved it so much, I decided right there it had to be mine! I told the woman I wanted to purchase it. She was ecstatic. Even though she hated to see it go, she was incredibly happy that someone appreciated its beauty and was going to be able to show it off and wear it.

I paid for the necklace and the woman put it in a velvet black box for me. She gave me her business card and told me next time I am in San Francisco to stop in and she will give me a discount on my next purchase. I was very appreciative of her hospitality and her best prices on diamond necklaces below nine hundred dollars in San Francisco, California.

Supreme Diamond Rings at Markdown Prices Below Nine Hundred Dollars inAustin, Texas

Posted on April 25, 2013 by Alissa

Do you want to know how I found supreme diamond rings at markdown prices below nine hundred dollars in Austin, Texas? Well, it was a lot easier than I thought it would be and took me less than a day to find them.

 

My sister is getting married next month and as her maid of honor, she left me in charge of getting the bridesmaids their gifts. She specifically wanted jewelry, but not your run-of-the-mill bracelet or necklace. She decided she wanted to get each girl an elegant diamond ring. I thought she was crazy when she told me this because diamond rings are usually a fortune. But she insisted and told me of a place she knew where I would find supreme diamond rings at markdown prices below nine hundred dollars in Austin, Texas. So I took the information from her and went on my way.

I expected to be going to a jewelry store, but instead, my sister gave me the name of this warehouse way out on the other side of Austin. Honestly, after living here most of my life, I had never been to this part of the city. I know Austin is big, but I would think after so many years, I would have been just about everywhere. I guess not.

The warehouse was huge and I was a bit nervous walking in since I needed jewelry and this did not look like any place that would sell anything like that. I expected to see mile-high racks of bins, cartons and crates with trucks driving all around stacking each one. Well, I was partly correct. There were high racks and lots of crates, but there were also many people bustling around looking at what was in those crates. There were also tables and booths set up selling all types of things—from clothing and food to home décor and jewelry. I have to say, I was quite impressed with the whole set up.

After my initial shock and awe calmed down, I walked over to a man who worked at one of the jewelry booths. I asked him if Shawn was anywhere around (that was the name of the person my sister told me to see once I got here). He pointed over to where I could find him and I went to meet him.

“Are you Shawn?” I asked just to make sure I had the right person.

“Yes, I’m Shawn,” he said. “Can I help you with something?”

“Yeah, my sister, Molly, told me you would be able to help me with some diamond rings for her wedding party,” I explained.

“Oh, hi,” he answered with much enthusiasm. “It is nice to meet you. Molly told me you would be stopping by one day soon.”

Clearly Shawn knew a lot more about me than I knew about him. I asked how he knew Molly and he told me that they used to work together until he left to help his family’s business which is this giant warehouse full of stuff. The two of them kept in touch after Shawn left and have been good friends for quite some time.

Without having to say one more word, Shawn took out three small ring boxes and showed them to me. Each one had a diamond ring in it, but not the kind you might expect. This white gold ring looked like three separate bands, but they came together as one. In each band were two small bezel set diamonds—about a quarter to half a carat each. They were magnificent looking—in very good taste and very appropriate for young bridesmaids.

I asked Shawn how much all the rings cost and he told me that they all came to seven hundred and fifty dollars plus tax. My jaw nearly dropped when he told me that all three rings were that cheap. I was also surprised to find out that my sister had already paid for them so I just needed to sign the receipt showing that I picked them up and then take them to her. Molly’s bridesmaids are going to flip when they see these rings. Of course, I can only wonder what she got me as a gift seeing how beautiful these were for her bridesmaids. Surely her big sister, and maid of honor, is getting something even more special.

Shawn handed me a bag with the rings in them and I left. So now I know where to find supreme diamond rings at markdown prices below nine hundred dollars in Austin, Texas all thanks to my little sister. I definitely see a trip back to the warehouse in my near future!

Beautiful Diamond Watches at Wholesale Prices Under Seven Hundred and Fifty Dollars in Jacksonville, Florida

Posted on April 22, 2013 by Alissa

This year I decided that our family vacation would be a visit to Jacksonville to see my parents. They are in their late seventies so travel for them is not so easy. I want my daughters to spend time with their grandparents while they are still in relatively good health and can still manage having visitors. And while I knew we would enjoy our week visiting my parents and taking in the Florida sights, I did not expect to find beautiful diamond watches at wholesale prices under seven hundred and fifty dollars in Jacksonville, Florida.

It all started on a rainy day. The forecast said the rain would stick around from morning to late in the night. This meant doing anything outdoors was out of the question. Since I am not that familiar with what is in the Jacksonville area, I asked my parents what there was to do that was inside and out of the rain. My mom told me about this indoor flea market that has more than one hundred vendors. She said it is a hot spot for deals. I really had no interest in spending the day at a flea market, but as soon as my two teenage daughters heard the words shopping and deals, they kept bugging me to take them. Little did I know I was about to come across beautiful diamond watches at wholesale prices under seven hundred and fifty dollars in Jacksonville, Florida.

When we got to the flea market, it was a lot bigger than I had envisioned. I know my mom told me it had many vendors, but I still was thinking in terms of those old outdoor flea markets with tables set up with odds and ends—and a lot of junk. This place looked like a mall. As we walked inside, I was instantly hit with the strong smell of perfume. This was probably because a vendor selling perfumes and colognes was right at the entrance. After seeing that, I realized this was not going to be a typical flea market.

My daughters wanted to go left since they saw something that piqued their interest. On the right side, I spotted a jewelry vendor and wanted to check it out so we went our separate ways and agreed to meet up by the entrance when we were done.

I walked over to this elderly man who was wearing a lot of jewelry—rings, a watch, a rather gaudy necklace and a bracelet. He was like a real life mannequin for the jewelry he sells.

“Hello there, young lady,” he kindly said to me. “Is there something special you are looking for today?”

“No, I am just looking, thanks,” I answered.

“Well, all of our jewelry is deeply discounted so if you see something you like, let me know because the price on the tag is not the actual price of the piece,” he explained.

I really was not in the market for any jewelry, but I continued to look out of curiosity. Surprisingly enough, there was a lot of really impressive stuff he was selling. I was intrigued as I kept browsing.

While I was not looking for any jewelry, I did have a watch that needed to be replaced. It is not broken or damaged, but after eleven years of wearing it, it just does not have the same appeal that it did when I first bought it. So I went to look at the watches to see what he had.

All the women’s watches were quite nice. Some were geared more towards a younger crowd, but there were still plenty for the older generation like myself. Just as I was ready to turn the corner and look at something else, one watch caught my eye. It was a gold link band with a rectangular shaped face that was also gold. Around the watch’s face were small diamonds. It was petite which was perfect for my small wrist and not gaudy at all.

“How much is this watch?” I asked the man.

He took it out of the case and let me try it on. I loved it!

“This watch retails for seven hundred dollars, but I am selling it for only four hundred and fifty dollars,” he told me.

My eyes widened when he told me the price. It was real gold and the diamonds, although small, were also real. I never thought it would be that cheap—especially after seeing the seven hundred dollar price tag that was on it. Without any hesitation, I told him I would take it.

When I met the girls back at the entrance, they saw I had a bag in my hand and asked what I got. I told them how I just found beautiful diamond watches at wholesale prices under seven hundred and fifty dollars in Jacksonville, Florida.

Fabulous Necklace Deals at Discount Prices Below Eight Hundred Dollars inSan Jose, California

Posted on April 18, 2013 by Alissa

California has got to be one of the greatest states in America. Aside from the fact that it is so big and diverse, it also has some of the best shopping. And I really hit it big while I was here visiting my sister. I managed to find some fabulous necklace deals at discount prices below eight hundred dollars in San Jose, California. And to think I still have a few more days left before I go back home to Chicago. Who knows what else I may find?

My sister told me about this small part of San Jose that is considered their art district. There are galleries, shops, museums and lots of cafes and restaurants all up and down a multi-block stretch of the city. I was having a blast just going from one place to another. Some stores had very modern furnishings and pieces of artwork, while others had more traditionalofferings, but with a modern twist. But what I really fell in love with were the jewelry stores and one of them in particular is where I found fabulous necklace deals at discount prices below eight hundred dollars in San Jose, California.

The store front itself was quite magnificent. It had a very bright sapphire awning over the front door with a beautiful mosaic on either side of it. It looked like a work of art. Once inside, each jewelry case was a different color—red, blue, purple, green, yellow, orange. The colors were all vibrant and really caught your attention once you walked inside the place. You almost miss the jewelry because you are so taken aback by the colorful décor.

If the ambience of the store was any indication of what the jewelry was like, I knew there would definitely be something here I would fall in love with and want. I began looking at every case while admiring the colors and the clever way the jewelry was on display.

“You have a great store here,” I said to the woman standing nearby who I assumed was the owner.

“Thanks,” she said. “I put all of my blood, sweat and tears into this place. I think it turned out pretty good.”

“I’d say this is a lot better than pretty good,” I told her.

I kept going from one case to another looking at all the jewelry. But as soon as I got to the necklaces, I stopped in my tracks. There was one necklace that was absolutely breathtaking. I had to see it close up and try it on so I asked the owner if she could take it out of the case for me.

My taste in just about everything is a bit eccentric. That is probably the reason my sister suggested I visit this part of San Jose. She knew I would appreciate the offbeat styles and products that are sold in this part of the city. Well, she was certainly right because the necklace I fell in love with was not your typical piece of jewelry. The chain was a double silver rope chain. Hanging down from it were seven large rectangular shaped gemstone pendants. Each one was a different color—purple, red, green, blue, pink. There were two different hues of green and blue. The pendants were also very large which made the necklace seem gaudy to an average person, but this was my style—big, bold and bright!

“I have to ask you how much this necklace is. It is just spectacular,” I said to the woman.

“Oh, I have a lot of people that really enjoy that necklace, but not enough to buy it,” she laughed.

As she took it out of the case, my heart was beating really fast. The excitement of trying it on was getting to me. I put it around my neck and looked in the mirror. It was perfect! I asked how much the necklace cost. The woman told me it was six hundred dollars. While I was not looking to buy a necklace, I could not resist this one. It was exactly my taste and I knew I would never find another one like it so I decided to buy it.

I left the store even more excited than when I entered. I cannot wait to show my sister the fabulous necklace deals at discount prices below eight hundred dollars in San Jose, California that I found. She is never going to believe it.
