The Trendy and the Timeless




"I thought it was absolutely beautiful. I've never had one sparkle as much as this one did." - Bride receiving a Kiss and Dream Diamond

"The selection was huge. It took me quite a while to find the right one, but I knew it when I saw it. Carla took me through the whole process...we went through and found the band and diamond that fit my price range." - Groom selecting the Kiss and Dream Diamond

The Democrat and Chronicle's recent round-up of wedding trends has us excited about the year ahead. Gowns with long, billowy sleeves, perhaps tinged in blue or dusty rose. (In a year when February feels like May, why stick to a white wedding?) Playful bridesmaid ensembles, teardrop bouquets, tiered apple pies, and pop-up coffee bars to keep the party going strong, all night long. Metallic accents and watercolor palettes that combine the delicate and the daring. Think copper nails, rose-gold edging, and invitations painted (and even letter-pressed) with a personal touch.

But for every industry-rocking trend, there's a balancing element of timeless elegance and classic beauty. Diamonds really are forever; and our certified, center-cut stones make dreams come true...with prices to match. Whether you'd like a simple style or a more intricate design, Carla will guide you through our unmatched selection of engagement rings, diamond rings, wedding bands, and upgrades. If you want to modify an existing style, perhaps by integrating a heirloom stone, we will show you how. Or, we can help you create the ring of your dreams. Stop in and see us for a stone that transcends trends, sparkles through all seasons, and captures your hopes, dreams, and lasting love.

These Special Days Go On!

The beauty of Baked Beads
As we write this post, snow has melted, and fallen, and melted again in one of those Rochester wintry-mix weeks, where white yards mingle with sunny skies. Speaking of falling, melting, mixing and mingling: how was your Valentine's Day? If you received a heartfelt token of affection from People's Pottery, we'd love to hear about it! A NanoRosetta medallion etched with sentiments to savor for eternity? A Pandora bracelet as "charming" as you? An Intuitions bangle that speaks your heart? Wine glasses or champagne flutes for that "toast for two"? That long-awaited Kiss and Dream diamond or upgrade? Share your stories with us! We'd love to hear how we played a role in your unforgettable V-Day.

And now that Cupid's merry mayhem has subsided, we'd like to turn our attention to sustaining the celebration for your Special Days all year long - whether they're public holidays or private milestones. 

The day you met; the day you married. Your daughter's birthday. Black Friday. Secretaries' Day. When you sign up for the free My Special Days program, you select the days on which you wish to receive surprise promotions, delightful discounts, and enticing offers. It's our way of thanking you for making us part of your special moments and memories.

Pretty in pink.
Whether you're preparing for departure (to warmer climes, perhaps) or welcoming a new arrival, we hope to see you soon in-store or online. Stop in and see us to select the perfect gift to chase away the winter blahs with color and style. We gift-wrap beautifully and we ship around the world.
