If she loves blue than aquamarines are the gemstone for her! Aquamarine comes from the Latin phrase “water of the sea,” so named because of its blue to blue-green color. Because aquamarines are a relatively hard gemstone (8 out of 10 on the Mohs Scale) they are an excellent choice for jewelry to wear every day. Lore has it that aquamarines have the power to help couples smooth out any differences, so it’s easy to see why it’s the recommended gemstone for the 19th wedding anniversary! Ranging from pale blue to dark blue, aquamarines with a deeper hue of blue are usually higher priced than the lighter colors but all shades are beautiful in jewelry. Unscrupulous people have been known to pass off blue topaz as the rarer aquamarine. Leo Hamel’s Graduate Gemologists have been trained to recognize superb aquamarines of the finest quality. Come in today to see our unique selection of aquamarine jewelry!

Spring Cleaning

IT’S MORE THAN DUSTING THE COFFEE TABLE.

The grass is greener, flowers are blooming, and the birds are chirping; Spring is here!

Nothing is more liberating than cleaning out your old jewelry box to make room for that fabulous pair of earrings or Hearts On Fire® necklace you’ve been craving all year! Sell us your old unused jewelry and buy what you really want.

Can’t part with your jewelry? Go ahead and clean out your jewelry box and bring in that broken jewelry you have wanted to fix for years. Our skilled jewelers have the expertise and craftsmanship to repair your favorite family heirloom or even custom design something new!

Read about Melissa’s experience: I was doing some spring cleaning and found some outdated jewelry that I haven’t worn in years. I was just going to give it away and then I saw Leo’s TV commercial about trading in old jewelry for something else. I have always wanted a diamond tennis bracelet but it was more money than I could spend. So I brought in my old jewelry to see what I could get. Cynthia was so helpful and knew what she was talking about. I actually got more money than I expected! It was my lucky day because they also had a vintage tennis bracelet for sale at a great price, so I bought it! The whole process was easy and I’m really glad I did it.

The art and jewelry of Masriera is one of the most prestigious Art Nouveau collections in the

world, known for both the superb quality of the pieces they create, and the exquisite enameling techniques they employ. Masriera artisans’ ongoing application and research into enameling techniques has made them the greatest masters of this age-old process. The detail and design work that goes into every piece is beyond extraordinary. The exceptional character and splendor of each Masriera masterpiece places them among the most sought after art and jewelry collectibles.

The Art Nouveau period emphasized the beauty of nature and the female form, which are both superbly symbolized in this statue known as “Dona d’Aigua” or The Water Nymph. Crafted from shining sterling silver and bright 18 karat yellow gold, her wings are a spectacular display of the world-renowned “Barcelona” enamel.

This one-of-a-kind statue is evocative of an ethereal world. In Catalan (Spanish) mythology, dones d’aigua are feminine beings that live in places with fresh water. These water-women symbolize the fertility and life-giving virtues of water, possess dreamy beauty and have magnificent multicolored wings.

Adding to her majesty are the 18 karat gold and diamond encrusted flowers that showcase a luminous 7.35 carat tourmaline gemstone, 2.80 carats of rhodolite garnet gemstones, and 2.57 carats of round brilliant diamonds. The detail of each of the three flowers exemplifies the exquisite use of basse-taille and plique-a-jour enameling to create an eye-catching adornment to an already stunning work of art. At a stately 25” tall, it is no wonder that Dona d’Aigua steals the spotlight in any room. Price: $59,500

This season it is all about “STACKING!” Stacking allows you to create a dramatically different look from the traditional engagement and wedding ring set. Make a statement by stacking two, three, or even more eternity or wedding bands. Mix and match white, yellow and rose gold. Combine diamond rings with colored stone rings for even more pizzazz. Change the look of your engagement or wedding ring in seconds. For daytime you can wear one or two bands, and for an evening out, stack on three or four for a really dazzling look!

P.S. Guys, stackable bands make excellent gifts for an anniversary or birthday.
