Posted on by Julianne Jacobs

There are some pieces of jewelry that every woman should own. They’ll never go out of style, so the money spent will be well worth the years of wear. Here are 7 pieces of jewelry that are totally timeless: Gold Chain A gold chain can be timeless jewelry for men and women alike. For women, owning a few chains of differing lengths can be great accessories for a wide range of outfits and necklines. Of course, a single gold chain will add a touch of elegance to any look. Whether you choose to wear them layered or alone, a gold chain is essential for a complete jewelry box.   View this post on Instagram   Gold vs White Gold, what’s your pick? A post shared by Dallas Gold & Silver Exchange (@dallasgoldandsilver) on Jul 25, 2018 at 10:05am PDT Diamond Studs There’s a reason why every major jewelry designer has their own version of diamond studs — they work for everyone who has their ears pierced! Heck, there are even diamond studs for unpierced ears. That’s how essential they are to everyone’s jewelry collection. Simply add a pair of diamond studs to any outfit (even sweats, especially these days), and you’re ready to impress just about anywhere.   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Dallas Gold & Silver Exchange (@dallasgoldandsilver) on Jan 29, 2020 at 7:15am PST Pearls Pearls, in any form, are pretty much essential to any person who wears jewelry. Don’t let anyone tell you they’re out of style. Some form of pearl jewelry is always in style — whether it’s a necklace or earrings. And, they make wonderful family heirlooms! Cocktail Ring A cocktail ring is where you can really showcase your style. They come in all shapes, sizes, gemstones, and metals. Whether you’re looking for a statement piece that is sure to turn heads, or a classic to go with every outfit, a cocktail ring will get the job done.   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Dallas Gold & Silver Exchange (@dallasgoldandsilver) on Jun 7, 2019 at 5:01pm PDT Diamond or Gold Hoops We’ve put these in the same category because you really can’t go wrong with either. Whether you like the sparkle of diamond in and out hoops or the simplicity of gold, both will add a touch of glam to any look. Diamond Tennis Bracelet Ever wonder how this classic piece of jewelry got its name? We can thank tennis player Chris Evert for the name, who famously lost hers during a match and stopped play to find it in 1987. Tennis bracelets are a sophisticated option for those that want the timeless look. They come in all metals and diamond shapes, so you can choose the best option that matches your style. A Luxury Watch A luxury watch, like a Rolex, Tag Heuer, Breitling, or Omega, is the perfect piece that shows the world your personality. You’ll wear it everyday, with ever outfit, and you can even pass it on to your kids.   View this post on Instagram   The best thing about a Rolex? It looks great with everything!✨💛 . . . The best thing about this Rolex — like all the Rolexes we sell — is that it’s pre-owned, so you get all the luxury for a lower price. #rolex #twotoned #luxurywatches #luxurywatch #preownedrolex #preloved A post shared by Dallas Gold & Silver Exchange (@dallasgoldandsilver) on Sep 15, 2019 at 4:49pm PDT

June Birthstone Spotlight: Moonstone, Pearl & Alexandrite

Posted on by Julianne Jacobs

Lucky you, June babies! You have not one, not two, but THREE lovely gemstones to choose from as your birthstone. Most consider pearls as the primary birthstone for the month of June, while Moonstone and Alexandrite are alternatives. All of these stones are rich in their own unique beauty and history. Keep reading to find out more about your lovely birthstones and why you get more than one. Why are there three June birthstones? The Jewelers of America put together the first official list of birthstones in 1912, listing only Pearl and Moonstone for June. It wasn’t until 1952 that Alexandrite was added to the June birthstone list. We guess three was just the lucky number for June! Pearl Like other gemstones, pearls form naturally, slowly for as long as two decades. Unlike other gemstones, mollusks, such as oysters and clam create pearls. Depending on what part of the world the mollusk is from, it changes the pearl type. Due to their rarity and difficulty to find, natural pearls have remained an expensive stone since ancient times. They were revered among royalty and nobility alike and symbolized purity, integrity and love. Moonstone When we say “gemstone,” moonstone may not be the first one that comes to mind. They aren’t as popular as pearls, but we think they are a modern, beautiful alternative. Their adularescence is the first thing you’ll notice in the moonstone. According to GIA, “adularescence is the light that appears to billow across a gemstone, giving its surface a glowing appearance.” Visually, the glow has a moon-like quality, which is where the name moonstone comes from. In the picture above, you can see a moonstone both in its rough form and polished. FUN FACT: The moonstone is the Florida State Gemstone to commemorate the moon landings that took off from Kennedy Space Center. Alexandrite The Alexandrite is one of the newer gemstone discoveries. It was discovered in the Russian Ural Mountains in 1830 and wasn’t added to the birthstone list until 1952. Known as the chameleon of the gemstone family, it’s an “emerald by day, ruby by night” due to its color-changing tendencies. It’s bluish-green in daylight and reddish-purple in lower light. Due to its toughness on the Mohs scale, it makes a great option for rings or bracelets. Just be sure to clean it with warm, soapy water.

Engagement Ring Etiquette: When “I Do” Becomes “I Don’t”

Posted on by Julianne Jacobs

An engagement ring: a symbol of hope for the future and longevity in a loving, trusting relationship. Engagement ring etiquette dictates we wear it on our left ring fingers because that’s where a vein connects to your heart. This, however, is an old wives’ tale. While it’s a romantic thought, it’s a modern myth… similar to the idea that every engagement turns into forever. While it’s certainly not your intention when you purchase or accept an engagement ring, we know that plans and relationships fall through. After a particularly painful end, it may be tempting to put that ring to the side and let it gather dust. However, let us be the first to encourage you to dust off that ring and give it a new life. Whether you want to sell it for cash or get rid of its bad juju, we can help you create something wonderful with it. After all, as C.S. Lewis said, “there are far, far better things ahead than any we leave behind.” Can’t decide what to do with that old engagement ring? Let us make some suggestions: Check the Laws in Your State Concerning Who Gets the Engagement Ring. If your engagement or marriage was recently called off, look into the local laws concerning who gets to keep the engagement ring. According to Worthy, broken engagement rules vary from one state to the next in the United States. For example, Texas is an implied conditional gift state when it comes to engagement rings. This means that the ring belongs to the bride if an engagement is broken by the groom. While he can request the ring back, it is considered the bride’s legal property unless she is the one who ended the engagement. For more information, visit Nolo. Sell Your Ring So, you’ve gone through the research or spoke with your ex and the ring is yours. Maybe you no longer want it or maybe the only thing that will heal your emotional wounds is cash. This opens up a world of opportunities! If you sell it to us, we’ll give you cash on the spot for it. Whether you want that cash for a vacation or for your rainy day fund, you’re free to choose how that ring contributes to your future. Trade in Your Ring If you’ll miss the feeling of a ring on your finger, trade it in for something you’ll love. Trading in your ring at Dallas Gold & Silver Exchange means you could end up with a pre-owned Rolex watch, a ring with a different gemstone, David Yurman bracelets, or even a new diamond ring. We’ll make sure you’ll leave with something that makes you as happy as that old engagement ring did. Repurpose Your Diamond Perhaps the diamond in your ring is a family heirloom or you have a sentimental attachment to it. By re-setting or re-purposing your diamond, you can keep the sentimental aspect and cleanse it of any bad memories. Whether you want to set it in a new ring or as a necklace, our full-service repair shop can create your perfect piece. At Dallas Gold & Silver Exchange, we can help you make the best of any situation where “I do” becomes “I don’t.” If you find yourself in this predicament, bring in your ring and we’ll help you decide what’s best for you!
