Choose the Right Jeweler For You?

At some point in your life jewelry becomes a cherished part of it

It was the horse pin my grandmother gave me when I was ten. I really wanted a real horse, but that pin let me know that she understood me and supported my crazy horse love.

I cherished that pin and years later in my first Western Horsemanship (your skill as a rider on a horse using a Western saddle,) class at Earl Warren Show Grounds, I wore that pin with pride. Yes it was on a borrowed horse, because my horse wasn’t good enough to compete, but I had a horse! And I was living my dream. That pin symbolized my dream.

What is a Personal Jeweler?

Being a Personal Jeweler among other things, means being on your side, as opposed to just trying to sell you something that is conveniently there in the display. A Personal Jeweler really gets to know you.

A Personal Jeweler will search for what you want or custom make it. They rarely says “no.” You might hear them say “I can’t do that, but I know who can.” But they won’t say “no” just because they can’t do it for you and don’t want you going elsewhere.

A luxury jewelry

In your search for the jeweler that is a good fit, it may help you to know some basic types of jewelry-ers you may meet in your search for the right jeweler. As a Santa Barbara Personal Jeweler, these are the types of Jewelry-ers as I see it. If I have left out a category let know and I’ll add it.

These types of stores often carry jewelry “lines.” A line is a number of stylistically related design pieces made by the same, often well-known designer. Jewelry of this type is usually more artistic and better made. Often the store is the exclusive representative for the designer or designers within a particular geographic area. Frequently, Boutique stores look more like art galleries than jewelry stores.
