Stories From The Jewelry Box

Earring styles have been all over the place in recent years. At Scott's Custom Jewelers , we've seen them all. Cool ear climber earrings, threaded style earrings, even gauges. But according to an article in the Wall Street Journal, the 70s classic - the hoop - is back. Yes. Simple, elegant, go-with-everything hoops. Ok, Kim K is ANYTHING but simple, but you get the drift. And face it, the K empire does know fashion!   “I think hoops are coming back in a big way,” one bi-coastal retailer told the Wall Street Journal. It's true. We've been selling quite a few at our Dublin and Fairlawn, Ohio locations.   These pretty pieces in both 14k white and yellow gold are some of our best sellers. Why? Because they're light weight, well made and easy on the phone. And you KNOW it's all about comfort while talking! Hoops with a twist - these literally go with everything from office to yoga. And because Scott's likes to be just a little bit different

Scott's Custom Jewelers knows about your secret stash of jewelry. What? *Not my undie drawer! We've all got jewelry tucked into our underwear drawer that we don't wear, but can't part with yet. Traditional, "Princess Di-style" blue sapphire rings, a diamond stick pin from your great grandma, maybe even a diamond tennis bracelet (broken of course - those links caught on everything)! We've seen plenty of these pieces at our two custom jewelry stores . A vintage sapphire and diamond ring. Why do we hide it away? Probably because your jewelry style has changed. Maybe you're into the multi-gemstone, bib necklaces that are so popular now. Or perhaps it's asymmetrical jewelry that catches your eye. Whatever your style, those hidden gems have plenty of potential. You just need some inspiration! That's what one of our Dublin, OH customer's recently did. She had some jewelry pieces/parts that she'd been hoarding for awhile

So, after 27 years of marriage, Scott and I finally left our store, Scott's Custom Jewelers , and went away, for a whole week (!) by ourselves. We've left on quick getaways for custom jewelry shows, but this was a big trip. Our 50th birthday gift to ourselves. And it was awesome! This greeted us when we arrived. When our customers go on an exotic vacation, we always tell them to buy that jewelry souvenir, but don't spend a lot of money on it. Just in case... Well, we need to start following our own advise! While walking the streets of playa del Carmen, trying NOT to get assaulted by the street vendors, we wandered into a cute little jewelry store. It was filled with leather wallets, "handcrafted" pottery (stamped Made in China!), and, of course, lots of jewelry. Leather beer bottle holders - funny how the Mexican word for beer sounds like our last name:)  We decided that we wanted to get matching sterling silver bracelets to remember our trip. (I kn

Usually, award show jewelry tends to be, well, a little dramatic. I mean, not many people can pull off wearing studded dog collars to work. (Although at Scott's Custom Jewelers , we can be a little more daring!) But at last weeks Grammy Awards, there were plenty of jewelry hits that just about everyone can wear.   Jennifer Hudson looks stunning in a diamond choker. Take the choker. It's back and the delicate jewelry style looks amazing, especially with asymmetrical necklines. Remember those thin, seed pearl necklaces from the 80s? (the ones in the bottom of your jewelry box). Restringing them into a simple choker is a great way to recycle your jewelry, and be in style this spring.  Speaking of recycling, the Grammy Awards featured a lot of fabulous vintage style jewelry . Try wearing Grandma's rings, sized to fit the index or middle finger.   A large citrine and diamond ring looks balanced with a thin sparkle bracelet.  Big rings and thin bracele

Hi Ho, Hi Ho, it's off to Charlotte  Scott's Custom Jewelers  will go! Scott and I are getting ready for a weekend away. We'll (hopefully) see the sun, eat great food, and peruse booths filled with beautiful, custom JEWELRY! I know, rough life. But, as many of you already know, business trips aren't as glamorous as they sound. Sure, the location is wonderful. Heck, just seeing grass instead of snow and ice is a plus in January! But when  Scott and I go to jewelry trade shows, we Work. Which brings up the age-old dilemma: What kinds of jewelry should you pack (and how to pack it), for a business trip?
