My grandmother had a charm bracelet. Maybe yours did, too. As a kid, I loved to look at the charms, asking where each came from and hearing the stories. So I felt a strong sentimental pull when I first took a look at The Heather B. Moore collection of personalized jewelry. Heather Moore takes “charms”…
Today’s precious metal markets are constantly changing – but almost without fail, on the increase. From a low of around $300 per ounce about ten years ago, the price of gold today hovers around $1,750.00 an ounce, with platinum and silver increasing as well. I’m continually amazed at the rising price of precious metals. Unfortunately,…

Pearls are classic, timeless and elegant and a miracle of nature. One of my favorite gem “stones,” pearls come in a huge variety of colors, from classic white to pink, silver, cream, golden, green, blue, black, and even rainbow-hued.

When I saw Gaia Pelikan’s jewelry, I was knocked out by his ability to transform small pieces of history and nature into wearable, one-of-a-kind art.

You’ve seen them everywhere already – from the red carpet to the morning news shows, to the boardroom. The layered necklace trend is big. Here’s why I like long, layered necklaces. You can have fun with them and break all the “jewelry rules.” Mix high-contrast styles like earthy beads mixed with delicate gold chains. You…
Occasionally, I’m asked about my favorite part of custom jewelry design work. I love that question because people are so often surprised by my answer: The people I work with. I know, it sounds hokey. But trust me, it’s true. When a customer comes into Aronstam Fine Jewelers for a custom jewelry piece, it’s generally…
There has been enormous press recently about Jennifer Aniston’s classy and tailored emerald-cut diamond engagement ring. Although at Aronstam Fine Jewelers we take note of emerging trends in jewelry, we never copycat them. Instead, we refine and redefine them. Big beautiful panels of light and color, tailored elegance, and simplicity are what I think of…
I don’t know about you, but going to the movies was a weekend highlight of my boyhood and teenage years. I loved becoming so engrossed in the movie that the real world virtually disappeared for and hour and a half while I lived another life. I still love the way movies can transport me, teach…
