"I just got home and saw my ring, and it is BEAUTIFUL! It is so perfectly sparkly and the fit is perfect. I LOVE IT!!! Thank you so much for all of your help and please do tell James Binnion and his family that we love their work and love our pieces! I kind of knew what it would look like but honestly I was surprised at the sparkle and the weight and the absolute perfection of it. Thank you again and I look forward to doing business with you again in the future."  CE (CA)

Events at the Jewelbox
We're having a party, and gems are the main course!
Reserve your seats now for this mouthwatering special event...

Friday, September 17th, 2010 - Dinner Party in the evening (6pm - 9pm)
Sunday, September 19th, 2010 - Bruncheon in the early afternoon (11am - 2pm)

If you've never attended on of our Gem Roundtables, here's a summary of sorts:  Micky's dear friend Judith Whitehead is a gem hunter, collector, and a longtime member of the American Gem Trade Association. She is also our dynamic, knowledgeable, and engaging "special guest" for a few select weekends a year.  On these weekends, we create an opportunity for you to purchase unique and exciting gemstones in an intimate and socially relaxing setting.  We call these events "Gem Roundtables" and while the focus may be on these breathtaking gems, the food and wine served is pretty good too!

The Friday evening - or Sunday afternoon - that unfolds includes lively conversation, many "oooohs" and "ahhhhs", and a great opportunity to discover the beauty and affordability of creating a custom design of your very own. 

For each Gem Roundtable event, Judith selects over a hundred exciting gems and gemstone sets for us to present to you.  We serve yummy food and fine wine and you get to feast on a banquet of beautiful jewels!  Gem prices range from about $200 to $20,000 so there is a wide variety from which to choose.  From fossilized sand dollars and designer-cut drusy quartz to paraiba tourmaline and flawless rubies, you might have a tough time choosing which gems you would like to purchase. (Hint: bring a friend or relative and "share"... lots of sets of pairs for earrings make absolutely gorgeous matching pendants for sisters or BFF's!)

It's entertaining, educational, and hands-on fun!  But we do limit the seating to 20 people per event, so if you are interesting in attending any of these events, you should sign up for our e-newsletter "Inside the Jewelbox" because Jewelbox Insiders are always the first to know! 

Gempowerment: n. - the feeling you get after attending one of our Gem Roundtables.  We really mean it when we say that you will never look at jewelry the same way again!

Outrageous Opal Show & Sale is coming...  Friday & Saturday, Oct. 8 & 9, 2010

 

We're gonna need a bigger boat... for the thrilling selection of new  jaws-dropping opals arriving for our Outrageous Opal Show & Sale.  You'll be awestruck by the blockbuster array of opals - freshly dug, cut and polished by legendary opal expert, Bill Kasso.  Bill can tell you about the life of an opal miner, as he spends most of the year actually in the Australian Outback putting hundreds of hours into tons of rock for one rare little dazzling gem.  Yes, the Jewelbox has opals all year round, but you can only meet Bill Kasso - and get that "Jewelbox Insider" savings - two days of the year... and this year it's Friday and Saturday, October 8th and 9th.  *cue music*
