Thanksgiving is the perfect holiday and I’ll tell you why: it’s because it’s about people, family and friends

Hello all, Kerry Ryan here!

Let’s talk Turkey!

While I always say my articles here are jewelry inspired it doesn’t mean it should be only about Diamonds, engagement rings and all diamond jewelry all the time. Today let’s talk about my one of my favorite holidays and that would be Thanksgiving.

In my opinion Thanksgiving is the perfect holiday and I’ll tell you why: it’s because it’s about people, family and friends, there are no obligations expected (except maybe being in charge of the stuffing or perhaps the pumpkin pie). It’s about sitting around a large table overeating, drinking wine, stimulating conversation (at my house there will be 11 separate conversations going on and pretty much no one listening par for the course).

Thanksgiving is also about reaching out to others, my brothers and I had a habit of bringing a stray to my parent’s house every holiday, no reason for anyone to be alone on Thanksgiving. They were forewarned about the 11 conversations but it was fun watching their heads spin anyway someone had to listen, but with my father pouring the wine the listening eventually didn’t matter.

So I implore all to make this Thanksgiving extra special, enjoy your friends and families maybe reach out share some kindness with a stranger. Believe it or not but in these trying times we have more to be thankful for, make the day extra special.

Happy Thanksgiving to all!!!

True friends, family and partners...They are a blessing! Show them your appreciation...

Hello all, Kerry Ryan here…

Random thoughts…

I heard this quote the other day “there are no true friends” I could not disagree more, let’s start with my wife, she is my friend and we become stronger friends daily, long before the engagement ring, long before the wedding ring she became my true friend, there is an unseen trust and understanding can’t fully explain it but anyone who has it will understand it.

In my circle of life I have been blessed with true friends, these people got my back, will be there in the middle of a dark rainy night if needed, would bail me out if needed, I haven’t needed that in a few years but its good to know that they are there.

So my wish for you is true friends, it’s a blessing!!!

Now more then ever our friends, family and partners are needed and in turn to show appreciation for them is also needed, reward them this year. I personally recommend Diamonds but a warm hug, a soft kiss, a round at the bar may be all that is necessary.



The ring pictured above is a round diamond set with two matching round stones in a platinum setting with micro pave in the shank. The side stones accompanying the center are a match like true friend, they may not match perfectly (diamonds are like fingerprints and snowflakes while they are close they are never exact) but they work quite well together.

Okay so I recommend you come down to Shenoa & Co. and will see your match and get you another!

Have a great day!

Diamonds and diamond jewelry are all about passion and unique stories, I’ve told you some of mine so tell us some of yours.

Hello all, Kerry Ryan here…

It’s all about you…

When I write these pieces they are meant for you, our customer and friend or future one. These stories are meant to educate, stir passion, and perhaps interest but all along they are for you.


They are for Joe who’s scraped together a couple of thousand through hard work to spend on an engagement ring for his girlfriend Mary, he knows it’s not a ton of money but you know what, to him it is so he needs to be treated like he’s spending a million bucks. The important part is that Joe is treated specially, not rushed by some uncaring salesperson that shows him one ring and flatly states, that’s what he can afford; take it or leave it. No way no how that is going to happen at Shenoa & Co. if I have anything to do with it. Joe will be treated as if he’s my most important customer because at that time he is and it is paramount that we find a diamond ring for Mary that is spectacular for her and that Joe is proud to give it to her.

If I’ve learned anything is that the Joes in this world turn into lifelong customers who will recommend all friends and families when treated respectfully and fairly.

These stories are for Isabella who just landed that big promotion at her job and wants to treat herself to diamond earrings I know for a fact that most sales people blow off single woman because they feel that they are not buyers, not at Shenoa, we will spend the time to find the right pair of earrings. Hey Isabella, you know you are important, we think so too.

They are for a guy named Miles who he knows that he short changed his wife last Christmas but the economy stunk and he didn’t really feel comfortable with his standing at his job so he held off. Well not this Christmas, come hell or high water Jacqueline is getting that fancy yellow diamond ring that she’s had her eye on. Miles has been a longtime customer at Shenoa and knows their selection is unparalleled so this year it’s happening, hell you can’t take it with you, no time like the present.

So please, I welcome all feedback; share your stories, your likes, your passions. Diamonds and diamond jewelry are all about passion and unique stories; I’ve told you some of mine (and will continue to do so) tell us some of yours, there are a lot out there I’m sure!!!

Have a great day!
