Celebrate Jewel Day in style

That moment when you got down on bended knee to propose, presented a loved one with a piece to signify your time together, or took the time to save and select something sparkly to celebrate a big moment in your life… The reasons why we choose to purchase jewellery pieces are varied. They can be traditional, personal, and even irrational to some. We’re not quite sure where Jewel Day fits on the spectrum, but we’re sure that it qualifies as a valid enough reason to purchase a stunning piece.

For reasons known to someone (not us, because we can’t find the origin story), the 13th of March is Jewel Day and it’s considered a day to give or (ecstatically) receive jewellery. Of course, you’re also welcome observe the day by wearing jewellery that you already own. And to be clear, when we say ‘jewellery’, we’re not limiting this to just diamonds. You can also celebrate with gemstones, precious or semi-precious, and natural or man-made. It would be quite petty to only allow diamonds to participate in the fun, given that there are well over 130 types of minerals used as gemstones, along with artificial and synthetic stones, and even a few rocks classified as gems.

Are you inspired to use this day as a chance to spoil yourself or someone else? You’re welcome to visit us in store or give us a call and we help you do just that. We can also help you narrow down your choice of stone right now with this list of birthstones, organised by month.

You also might not be sure of the cost.

And our support doesn’t just extend to purchasing the perfect piece. We can also point you in the direction of the right insurance to help you avoid forking out your own cash to repair or replace these items on your own if the worst happens.
