Something New

Special Orders - We love taking orders from you!
If we don't have in stock the item you're seeking, we have hundreds of catalogs organized to help locate what you want. We also belong to a computerized jeweler's network which gives us quick access to a $70,000,000 diamond inventory, and allows us to electronically communicate/broadcast our needs for other jewelry and gems to hundreds of other jewelers who can help us fill the bill for you.

Having found what you want, our #1 credit rating from the Jewelers Board of Trade allows us to bring in items from most sources for no-obligation viewing, usually within 24 hours if you will pay for express shipping. And doing it this way, we can usually beat the prices of competitors for comparable merchandise.

Remounts
Whether you have the stone and need a mounting, or the mounting and need a stone, we have everything it takes to help you alter or remake your jewelry and gems:

• The best selection and system for How to Buy a Diamond, and excellent offerings in colored gemstones.
• The widest selection of settings, including our exclusive series of antique-style mountings.
• The services of the finest goldsmith (see Who's Who at Wooden Skate).

Estate jewelry and gems
Many people think estate jewelry is only antiques, but it simply means pre-owned -- over half our pre-owned merchandise is contemporary in style. Someone can buy it new one day, and for whatever reason decide they want to buy or sell it the next day, and it enters the "secondary market" of estate jewelers, second-hand stores and pawn shops. Why should you buy your contemporary-style jewelry from an estate jeweler? Mainly because a reputable estate jeweler will offer you greater value. Most customers are pleasantly surprised at the quality they obtain for their money. Because estate jewelry is typically obtained at prices below wholesale, the customer saves -- usually paying half what they would at a conventional jeweler for comparable new items. These savings apply to loose gemstones, to fine jewelry, to MOUNTINGS and to DIAMONDS.

New mountings in old styles
Remember, if your taste runs more to antique styles, be sure to look at our selection of rare Wooden Skate Mountings. These handcrafted reproductions of antique styles offer the freshness and durability of something new, in the best of styles from a variety of eras.
