Jewelry Deals in the Heart of Downtown
Mother’s Day is this Sunday. If you haven’t picked up anything, why not buy Mom something sparkly which she’ll have for many years and she’ll remember you each time she puts it on?
Well let’s see – you can pay full price for gold jewelry in full-price retail stores downtown or you can go up to Bijouterie Oro, a wholesaler, and save half your money. Since 1987, this 3rd generation jeweler has been selling wholesale, and now is open up to the public. Lucky us.
There is lots of golden stock to choose amongst, more than you would see in your small local jewelry store. You could go nutsy over the vast assortment of gold hoop earrings – they sell them by weight. You can select amongst the 100’s of chains; they are strong in 2-tone and 3-colors of gold from Italy or Turkey. There’s 14-carat Italian chain bracelets too, and lots of little religious pendants.
If you want to buy Mom illusion diamond studs, they have those too. These earrings give the illusion of a whole stone, but are made up of little ones – for a much littler price.
If she has an older diamond (or any other precious stone) ring and you’d like to change it into something more modern, they can show you trays and trays of semi-mounts (that’s what your stone sits in), so you can see exactly what the ring will look like – it can even be tried on. You can take jewelry which has been just sitting in her jewelry box and have it re-modeled.
Bijouterie Oro still does local manufacturing, so they can reproduce a piece of jewelry from a photo. And they can repair your broken jewelry too.
If you decide to have something made from scratch, it would take only two weeks from the time you walk in the door until you happily present it to Mom.
