Merry Christmas to ALL and a Happy New Year

Hello all! Kerry Ryan Here…

‘Twas the night before Christmas and all through the store
Not a diamond was stirring, not even a pearl
The studs and bracelets were snug in their beds
While visions of thrilled women danced in their heads

The stockings were stuffed with diamonds and hung by the fire with care
And soon would be opened with joy to be shared
Myself and my co workers had had it at last
So we opened some vodka to have one last blast

To all of our wonderment what did finally appear?
But a tiny little elf and eight tiny reindeer
With a wink and a nod he sprang from his sled
And joined in our toast with a shake of his head

As we hugged and shook hands we finally did hear

“Merry Christmas to ALL and a Happy New Year”

With apologies to Clement C. Moore.

2 days to go!!! Make this a special Christmas

Hello all! Kerry Ryan here…

2 days to go!!!


I know of some very lucky wives and girlfriends that are getting something special this year. The men in their lives were determined to make this a special Christmas this year and for those that did good for them.

The guys that strike me funny at this time of year are the ones who come in the store and flatly state “just looking”, as a former boyfriend and currently a husband, 2 days before Christmas the just looking part should be over and done with and the just buying part should be the whole program. Really guys, what could you possibly be just looking for at this time of year other then some unhappy woman in your life on Christmas day? Trust me those that just look themselves into a scarf this Christmas better stock up on brandy for their eggnog so they have some company this Christmas night.

Let’s go back to the guys who did their girls a solid this holiday, good for you, you will be rewarded in more ways then one; wink wink, nod nod!

Hey it’s nice to make a holiday special but in these uncertain times it’s even nicer cheers to you all!


Here at Shenoa Diamonds we will be here to Santa comes to help those who are in the just buying mode, it just takes a little thought to be a big hero.

11 days to Christmas…Trials and tribulations of a gentleman named I. B. Putz

Hello all! Kerry Ryan here,

11 days to Christmas…

It’s like a truck careening downhill, on an ice covered road with no brakes and the end of the road is coming up fast!


So if you indulge me for a moment let me relate the trials and tribulations of a gentleman named I. B. Putz. See Mr. Putz shops two ways; one year he’ll stop by Shenoa Diamonds, starting in September, searching for that perfect Christmas gift for his wife. It will entail weekly visits; one week we’ll look at diamond studs and never quite come together on the proper size. The next week we’ll look at diamond pendants and the right shape will be the obstacle, on and on. Diamond bracelets, too flashy. Okay, next week diamond and sapphire rings, not quite sure. What eventually happens is Mrs. Putz ends up with the short end of the stick again.

The other Mr. Putz, well he shows up with an ambitious agenda on Christmas Eve; the type of agenda that as a designer I know well it would take up 6 weeks to fulfill. While we fill the portions of it that we can, this Mrs. Putz is also, shortchanged.

The morals of this story:

1) As discussed previously focus on your options and the make a well informed decision.

2) The 5 P’s of smart shopping. They are… drum roll please: PROPER PLANNING PREVENTS A PISS-POOR PERFORMANCE


Grasshopper, so ends today’s lesson and that would be; don’t be a Putz!

15 days to go…Crystal helps Dad pick Mom a Christmas present.

Hello all, Kerry Ryan here…

15 days to go…

I stepped out of the store yesterday for some air and at the same time a father and his 5 year old daughter were viewing the window. The daughter decked out in her Christmas coat (you know the red wool one with black buttons, matching scarf and hat) pointed at a big emerald-cut diamond eternity band and said:” Daddy, why don’t you buy mom that one? I’m sure it would make her happy!”. Well the father replied:” That looks a little rich for our budget honey but you have great taste!”



At that point I interjected: “I’m sure young lady we could find something that your Mom would love and fits into Dad’s price range but I’m going to need your help picking it out.”

So with smiles all around I introduced myself and welcomed Don and his daughter Crystal into Shenoa & Co. Over the next hour we proceed to pick out a beautiful diamond ring for Crystal’s Mom, Karen. The diamond ring they decided on is a 5 stone emerald-cut ring in Platinum, well within Don’s price range, and in the same moment thrilled a 5 year old girl who helped Dad pick out Mom’s Christmas present. I don’t know what made me happier the sale, gaining a new client and friend or that beaming smile on Crystal’s face.

I’ll rate the smile first, I love Christmas!!!

Diamonds are a guy’s best friend and you ask why?

Hello all, Kerry Ryan here…

Random thoughts…

17 days to Christmas, how fast it comes!

Diamonds are a guy’s best friend and you ask why? Well I’ll tell you; have any of you ever given your wife/girlfriend some sort of diamond and not had her thrilled with it and you?

Yes there is a Santa and my children are living proof. I see it in their eyes and hear it in their voices to think, at times I was skeptical silly me!

Shenoa Diamonds rocks this time of the year; it’s a ton of fun to be associated with it. The only drawback is, it keeps me away from my family but they understand.


Diamond stud earrings and diamond bracelets are running neck and neck as this year’s “it” gift, you can’t be wrong with either.

I am wishing for a white Christmas, I don’t have to drive this year. I know it’s slightly selfish but it’s been a long time since we’ve had one… think, it would be cool!!!

I wish everyone was as nice all year long as they are at this time of year, I mean I’m in New York and only been told where to a couple of times this month, a new record!

I may be prejudiced but I still recommend buying your girl diamond jewelry, the flat screen can wait!

That’s enough for now more to follow.

It will be a Blue Christmas without…20 days to go…

Hello all, Kerry Ryan here…

It will be a Blue Christmas without…

Nice little boxes full of sparkling diamonds… that’s why this one is for the guys. I’m speaking man to man here and I will repeat my quote “Happy wife = Happy Husband”, no truer words have ever been spoken and gentleman at Shenoa Diamonds we have the answers to that equation.


Now all you need to do is take a jewelry inventory of what your wife has and then you will be able to fill in the blanks. Goes like this, well Barbara has diamond studs, a beautiful diamond engagement ring as well as a diamond bracelet. She did drop a hint that she wants that diamond band that has a little antiquish style to it, well you just filled in a blank. I bet comes Christmas day Barbara and her betrothed have one great day.

Annie’s had a rough December and JT knows it so this year he’s getting her that diamond necklace, he realizes things are tight but he knows he can’t take it with him and those accessories for the boat can wait and besides she’s been waiting for that necklace for years.

Gentlemen, these are but two examples of Happy Wife = Happy Husband so come on down to Shenoa Diamonds this holiday season and we will help you do the math.

20 days to go…

Thanks Elvis!

Countdown is on, 22 shopping days left…

Hello all, Kerry Ryan Here!

22 shopping days left…

Those dreaded words; the countdown is on what to do, well we’ve all been bombarded with those Black Friday ads and every big box store and flat screen push ad nauseam.

So I recommend changing the perspective, try shopping the Shenoa experience, you know you can’t try those diamond studs on that you see on the computer screen. Are you really going to order that diamond bracelet from a company that has an 89% rating? Well here come the recommendations, ready?

1) Figure out how you are getting to New York; planes, trains (buses), automobiles… the city is great this time of year and you can make a great day of it. The Rockefeller Center Tree is right around the corner and I can also recommend a few nice Irish pubs for some holiday cheer, the city really hums now so come experience it.

We are located at 1 west 47th street right off 5th avenue, in a private setting that will enhance the shopping for jewelry experience.

2) At the store you can choose from a wide selection of Merchandise whether it be a diamond pendant or diamond bracelet or perhaps a nice sapphire ring… we have it all and the fun can really be in the picking, can it???

3) For the customer interested in a diamond engagement ring or maybe an upgrade of their current stone our selection of loose stones is unparalleled, you would be hard pressed not to be able to find that perfect diamond for that perfect partner.

4) So come in sit-down and share some holiday cheer with all here at Shenoa & Co we are here for you!


Well ladies and gentleman those are some of my recommendations, there will be more to follow let this Christmas be special, enjoy the whole experience and the satisfaction you will receive cannot be attained from a computer screen.

Happy Hunting!
