Love those last minute guys………

 

Well Des just finished booking the golf trip with the boys to Cabo. Now, what else to do. Let’s see its December 22nd and he hasn’t told the wife about Cabo. In fact he hasn’t done one bit of Christmas shopping for her, it’s been a great year

thankfully and she deserves something special and it has to be big enough to soften the blow when Cabo comes up in conversation.

 

Off to Shenoa & Co does Des go and after some gentle prodding, He decides on a gorgeous Platinum Diamond Eternity Band (5 ct total weight round brilliants in a shared prong style setting) and matching earrings. The earrings are for her stocking, the Band for under the tree, I’m sure Melissa (Des’s wife) will be thrilled this Christmas, but I heard he decided to bring up Cabo after the New Year….It’s called détente!!!

 

Jason doesn’t have a clue and as usual he’s always last minute as it is December 23rd in he rushes,” Kerry, haven’t got Kathy anything and have no idea what to get her!”

 

Okay time to talk Jason off the cliff,” Sit-down Jason, cup of coffee… great, now let’s just figure out what she doesn’t have”. Well we do the old Hand, Neck and Ear thing and arrive at the conclusion that Kathy’ neck could use some adornment. We look together at pendants, tennis necklaces, and fashion items but this year is special, so we decide on a truly one of a kind piece. A handmade Fancy Yellow Radiant cut Diamond set in a micro pave halo dangling from a delicate diamond necklace.    Tragedy averted and a Christmas morning miracle made!!!!!!!

 

These are just a couple of last minute stories, here at Shenoa we are locked and loaded to help you with yours!!!!!!!!

 

11 to go………………………

Shenoa’s Santa Scenarios Part Duex

Hello All Kerry Ryan Here,

Chris and Cessna stop in on a weekend in December,  they have been long time customers at Shenoa really like family more then customers.  Frankly it’s been a few years since they’ve graced our doors and it’s  great to see them. We kick around the store look at some diamond bands, then  move on to Diamond earrings dangle style,

but Cessna’s eyes really light up  once we move on to diamond tennis bracelets. So together we go through  different styles and zero in on the classic straight-line 4 prong style, now we  look at different sizes starting with 3 ct total weight and work are way up.  Cessna loves them all, but I can tell by her reactions that the 6 ct one really  excites her; she’s looked at larger but as I always said, jewelry is  personal and the piece that fits you talks to you.

(Hand Made Platinum Setting. 86 Rd. diamonds of .68cts, with a 2.01Ct Radiant Diamond center stone. Dazzling.)

 

Here’s where it gets interesting,  she loves the bracelet but this was just a hello visit so her excitement is  tempered. Her phone rings, being polite Cessna walks out of the store to answer  it (she still has the bracelet on). Chris asks,” Kerry what will it take  to get this done?”. “Well Chris typically a credit card and a  handshake and we’ll wrap it up for you now.” After some gentle back  and forth negotiating we settle on a price and proceed to write up a receipt.  At this exact moment Cessna walks back in the store blushing and says,” I  didn’t realize I still had the bracelet on when I took the call, please  let me give it back to you.”

 

Chris states,” No need to Cess…Merry  Christmas!” Cessna gets a teary eyed look of joy and hugs Chris  emphatically. The rest of the store takes notice, I’m sure it lit a few  fires that day, did notice a few more Shenoa bags leave that day.

 

Works been keeping Patty and Dermott apart this  holiday season, Dermott’s job keeps him on the road and Patty works long  hour herself. They’ve been dating for almost 2 years now and Patty’s  hoping for a special Christmas this year but they never had time to go shopping  together, though they discussed Patty’s likes that was the extent of  their run up to a special day. What Patty didn’t know was that Dermott  had been talking to Shenoa. He had himself paid a trip to Shenoa and Company and  selected a Radiant Cut diamond set in a custom maid split shank micro pave  style mounting.

 

Here’s where it gets interesting they have a  weekend planned in the city, it is the 2 year anniversary of them meeting and  where better to have it but in the actual place they met. So with dinner  planned at

The Pig ‘n’ Whistle at eight they spend a fun day in the  city seeing the sights, check in to their hotel and get ready for dinner. So as  8 PM approaches they walk over to the restaurant a couple of cocktails and a  nice dinner, just what the doctor ordered. As they walk in the door they are  greeted at the door by Pat the owner who takes their coats and leads them  upstairs to the dining room, strange Patty thinks, thought we were having  drinks at the bar first but acquiesces. As they enter the dining room Patty sees  her whole family as well as Dermot’s in the room at this point she turns  around and lo and behold there is Dermot on bended knee holding an open box  from Shenoa,”What do you think babe, will you marry me?” Astonished,  Patty exclaims,” Dermott You Son of a…..of course I will ….on  my God its beautiful!” The crowd breaks into cheers, and Patty into Tears,  joyous ones. If I may add , I was there to witness this!!!!!

This season, ladies and gentleman, the hits keep on  coming

Shenoa & CO Santa’s Little Helpers

Okay ladies and gentleman a quick holiday update on what’s happening here, let’s see………………….

 

A one of a kind Fashion Diamond ring is flying

5.84 ct DIAMOND ETERNITY WEDDING RING made in PLATINUM

overseas as we speak. A 17ct micro pave ring literally a stunner, the special lady picked it out herself. Hey guys, sometimes let the girls do their own shopping, it can pay in the long run.

 

Ireland seems to be a popular destination for Shenoa bags and boxes this year yesterday a pair of Diamond Drop Earrings found their way into a gentleman’s suitcase just before his flight there is going to be a thrilled Colleen in County Clare the Christmas.

 

As usual Diamond studs were the big winners this weekend a 5ct pair of Round Brilliants being set in Platinum and shipped to Connecticut, a pair of 3 Ct rounds on their way to Virginia, and my favorite a beautiful couple from

1.25 ct ROUND DIAMOND STUD EARRINGS

Westchester came in on Friday celebrating their 38th anniversary and pick out a 1.50ct pair. The lady said she had wanted them for oh so long but there was always something else for any spare money to be spent on. The absolute joy she had in her eyes when she put them on knowing they were hers was a sight to see, it’s these moments that keep bringing me back, let’s put it this way heart felt is heart felt.

 

Let’s not forget Diamond engagement rings a 2ct+ round brilliant being set in a handmade platinum micro pave ring halo style will be under a

3.00 ct DIAMOND TENNIS BRACELET in WHITE GOLD

Christmas tree in Washington this year. There’s the 3 stone Emerald Cut Diamond set in Platinum with matching quality Trapezoids on its way to Arizona. A 1 ct Princess set simply and elegantly in white gold solitaire ready to light up Queens this holiday.

Diamond Eternity Bands are really flying out the store this year and I mean all sizes from delicate micro pave styles to larger Sheared Prong with round brilliants, princess cuts, and cushion cuts are in high demand. These rings are all handmade while they take some time and planning we are still able to deliver for Christmas, which from the customers standpoint is, all that matters.

 

Okay boys and girls that’s the update so far……..not counting today, 17 to go!!!!!!!

Hello all Kerry Ryan here……

What a special time of year in a very special place in the world. I may be slightly prejudiced but I can think of no place better to be and be able to ply our (Shenoa Diamond’s) wares then the Big Apple itself. The buzz on the streets of Manhattan really cranks up a notch in December, last night we had the spectacular spectacle of the tree lighting at Rockefeller Center the sidewalks where packed with all types just the smiles of joy you see from the children is enough to warm your heart.

 The holiday weekend at Shenoa started off with a bang , the weekend the store  was full of customers from all over the map many a bag left the store with a gift intended for someone special this Christmas.

Happy Holidays!!!

Let’s see there was a diamond band for Marie that Jude purchased (it’s now on it’s way to Ireland), a returning couple from Mississippi stops by and walks out with a 21/4 ct Emerald Cut Diamond set simply in a solitaire it sparkled almost as much as the lady’s eyes who was wearing it. Special orders seem to be the precedent, I am working on multiple diamond pendants and diamond stud earrings all intended to be sitting under the Christmas tree in a few weeks. Let’s put it this way I am keeping my elves especially busy this year.

 Let’s not forget that the phone is ringing off the hook with orders from those customers that can’t make it to the store, but still want to make it a special holiday and we are thankful that they think of Shenoa & CO for their jewelry purchases. Let’s see I got a 4ct pair of round brilliant cut Diamond studs ready to be shipped to Illinois, a 6ct diamond tennis bracelet on it’s way to California, as well as a Sapphire and Diamond Necklace boxed and awaiting the go ahead to make it’s way to Texas….Yahoooo…

 So, like I said, it’s truly a special time here at Shenoa and I am so happy to be part of it and would be thrilled to have you all be a part of it too.  So,  if you find yourselves in New York this December stop on by, share some cheer with us it would be great to see you. Don’t forget we are open for you until Santa arrives, make it a special Christmas for you and that special someone!!!!

 22 days to go can you believe it !!

 Happy Hanukkah to our Customers who celebrate this Holiday

 Speak to you Soon,

Trends and More Trends...

Hello all Kerry Ryan here……

 

   I’ve always marveled that when famous  people get engaged it tends to start trends. Okay follow me here, Prince  William and Kate Middleton just announced there engagement in honor of his  Mother (the late Princess Diana) he presented Ms Middleton with the Sapphire and  diamond ring that his father had given to Princess Diana a wonderful gesture. I  got to tell you when Prince Charles gave that ring it started a trend that  lasted for a solid ten years every woman wanted the ‘Princess Di’  ring couldn’t keep them in stock.

While this time around I don’t  think it will command the same fury just walking past other jewelry stores this  week I‘ve noticed they have dusted off their old stock and put the  leftover ‘Princess Di’ rings back into their windows trying to  catch some magic in a bottle.

  Why I don’t think it will catch on is the  consumer has more sophisticated tastes these days and wish more unique contemporary  look, finely handcrafted micro pave pieces or stunning three stones styles seem  to be the preferences. Tastes do change (and sometimes they are on a dime) but  I feel the ‘Princess Di’ ring is lovely the look is somewhat dated.  Here’s wishing William and Kate a long and happy journey on the stage  they live on they will need a strong sense of self and humor.

 I was talking to Leon(my boss) yesterday and we  touched upon when the Asscher Cut diamond(cut cornered square emerald) became  hot, and it coincided with a episode of ‘Sex and the City’ when one  of the major character’s was given a 3 ct Asscher. BOOM every other lady  that came through Shenoa’s door wanted to see an Asscher on her hand,  sales in that shape jumped and while it has leveled off the Asscher is still a  prominent requested shape.

 I’ve also found that ‘the Oscars’ is  always trend setters, just watch what the women wear and you’ll see the  ladies around you wearing them soon also. One year its chandelier style diamond  earrings, the next its diamond tennis necklaces and large solitaire diamond  studs as well as funky bracelets and bangles. The ‘Oscars tend to be an  ear, neck, and wrist venue.

 I’m sure we’ll speak next week but if I  don’t catch you all before I would like to wish you and your families a  Happy and Safe Thanksgiving!!!!!!

 A quick shout out to Leon and Faina who are renewing  their vows this week we all here stateside send our congratulations and love  Rock On you two!!!!!!

Well that’s all for now Cheers and have a great  weekend!!!!!!!

Pebbles

Hello All Kerry Ryan here…

One of the dealers Shenoa buys and sells to was recently in the store (we will refer to him as Trent) observing a sale I was finishing up. Trent deals in larger stones and with that comes a larger personality and so he states to me,” Kerry while are you dealing in pebbles you need to sell a rock”. Well ladies and gentlemen, for this I have what I perceive is the perfect reply,” Trent if I cultivate enough pebbles I’ll soon have a beach”. Trent likes the comeback and we agree that not all sales are huge rocks, don’t get me wrong some are but during these times I find myself growing my beach one pebble at a time.

Its November we are into the homestretch the holidays are just around the corner are you ready or are you one of those last minute persons.Shenoa Diamonds showcases are stocked with all the holiday favorites: diamond studs, diamond tennis bracelets, diamond eternity bands to name a few ready to be boxed and wrapped. Have you told, hinted, or suggested to your significant other that you want something special this year now’s the time let your wants and needs be known.

This time of year is a wonderful time to get engaged not only will you create a lasting memory, guys if you do it around the holidays you will always be reminded, therefore forgoing the awkward, “I’m sorry honey the date just escaped my mind” . All kidding aside is there a more romantic proposal then New York during the holidays. On bended knee in front of the tree at RockefellerCenter, on a Horse Drawn Carriage in Central Park, or perhaps just your Favorite Irish Pub, it can be an engagement whose memory lasts forever. I’ve always found this is a time that New York really shines and invite you all to come to Shenoa & CO as well as New York and experience it for yourself.

Have introduced some new and exciting styles in the last couple of weeks stop by try them on, we definitely have the ears, neck and fingers covered so just bring in yours!!!

Have a great day!!!!

You only get one shot to make a good impression

Hello all Kerry Ryan here……..

        There are really no second chances when it comes to first impressions so when new customers come into Shenoa & Co it is my object to get it right the first time. Let’s face it I’m not perfect but I’ve learned over the years how to become a better person, better listener, better educator, they definitely a learned traits.

   Promises I make to you and myself is that you will not be rushed I will work with you at your pace whether that is shopping for an engagement ring or creating a custom made piece or just switching the backs on your diamond stud earrings. That’s not to say that if you are in need of something special and you need it quickly I can’t do it, at Shenoa we’ve turned around rings within hours, I’ve also done special orders in a matter of a few days for those last minute shoppers.

 

 What I’m trying to convey is we’re the horse and you’re the jockey YOU set the pace!!!!!!!!

 As you can see in the last few ditties we’ve included pictures with descriptions, hope this helps you understand the pride we take in our work, I always say that all Shenoa customers are walking advertisements and they are, I’m sure any woman who gets a compliment on a beautiful diamond ring is thrilled and we are thrilled when in turn they mention that they purchased the sparkler at Shenoa & Co there is no better recommendation then that.

 On another note, the exciting time of the year is upon us, the Holiday season is breathing down our necks, guys I can’t recommend it highly enough is that if this is the year that that special woman in your life is due that special diamond gift start and end your shopping early. Whether it’s a custom piece or diamond bracelets, or diamond studs for that matter, we are here to help you along in the process, cross it off the do list, in now you’ll thank me for it.

 Well that’s enough for today hope I didn’t bore you trust me I tend to go on and on as you will see in the near future!!!!!!!!

Have a great weekend and if a visit to the store is in the cards you’re always welcome at Shenoa!!!!!!!

Questions about Shenoa Diamonds and there Answers

 Hello all Kerry Ryan Here………..

  Here are some common (and not so common) questions heard over time at Shenoa and there answers.  

  What is Shenoa’s Diamonds specialty?  

  Get this all the time and to be honest with you we focus on Bridal(engagement rings, wedding bands, a strong inventory of loose GIA certified diamonds) and Gift(diamond studs, bracelets, tennis necklaces, fashion diamond earrings and rings, precious stones sapphire, emerald , ruby) jewelry.

What does Shenoa mean?	Assorted Handmade Platinum Eternity Bands Eternity Bands; a Shenoa Specialty
It’s derived from an American Indian term and stands for ‘Peace of Mind’ just what we wish to give to all our customers What if she says ‘NO’?     Well gentleman I handle this question always the same and my standard answer is: If you’re not sure of the answer to the question you are about to ask the lady in your life you should beat a florist buying flowers (a heck of a lot less expensive and if they are thrown back at you they wont hurt as much).

What diamond shape is the most sought after?	Stunning Diamond Tennis Necklaces
Hands down it’s the round cut and after that are the cushion, princess, and radiant shapes.   What is the most/least important C(from the four C’s)?   With no argument I consider the most important C to be cut, cut and cut alone will tell you the brilliancy of the diamond, while the least important is Clarity, pay for what you see not what you don’t.

What are the two most asked questions of newly engaged couples?  

 The girlfriends will always ask how big is it(I’m talking diamond here) and the guys will always ask how much, everyone else will just tell you how beautiful the engagement ring is.  

How much time do we need before we order the wedding bands?  

I always recommend you do it no later than 3 months before the wedding, trust me as the big day approaches the list of things to do gets longer not shorter get, cross the things off the list you can.  

 What do you most enjoy about your work?  

 The reward I get in a job well done, the smiles and love I’ve seen over the years keeps me coming back.  

What’s an Irish guy doing in the jewelry business?  

 Well, that answer will have to wait for another day. Trust me it’s interesting, convoluted and long.  

Have a great week!!!!!!!

       Autumn is upon us……………………..

New brides are now new wives, couples are starting families (congratulations to the Sobols on the arrival of baby Aliza; she is beautiful).

I am absolutely positive that we can help you find that special gift.

Hello all Kerry Ryan……….

Random Thoughts……………..

I can’t….. I won’t…… I want……. Really just concerned with the ‘I DO’S

We at Shenoa are here to help. To answer any and all questions the toughest ones to answer are the ones that go unasked so please I implore you ask away….

There is magic in this world it is there to be discovered in the way we interact, is there any better then the magic created by love and respect for each other I would be put to task looking for it. The magic in the smile of a child, in the words passed,” I love you Mommy and Daddy”, these magic words started with ‘I DO’.

Great time of the year for Weddings the weather usually cooperates the venues sparkle the couples getting married radiate, I personally will be at the wedding of my future sister in law Kellee, I was honored with designing and producing her beautiful wedding band, here is a wish ‘Have a long and wondrous journey together Josh and Kellee’ the party is just the start it’s the ride that counts!!!!!

Football season is upon us and with it the advent of autumn we get to cheer are favorite teams with joy in the victories and frustration in the loses, but it sure makes for great weekends. Personally I have to say ‘GO BLUE!!!!!!! ‘

I do believe in what I do, I believe that in helping couples choose engagement rings, wedding bands, etc. that Shenoa makes an impact one that can last forever and that my friends is pretty special!!!!

I believe in the greatness in people, that we were all put here to make a difference, we are ALL important and I truly mean that!!!!!!

Well my friends it’s time to go enjoy your weekend enjoy the days in front of you ever the optimist I believe we have great days in front of us!!!!!!!!!!!

With the chance of being redundant I have to say again……. GO BLUE!!!!!!!!!!!

And Down the Stretch They Come

Hello all Kerry Ryan here……..

And Down the Stretch They Come…………………………

Can you believe it September is upon us?, where does the time go, the summer here in the northeast was absolutely smashing and I regret its passing. So, as not to dwell on regrets, the time has come plan. You may ask yourself what I mean by that, well I’m going to tell you.

At Shenoa Diamonds planning means very different things. I personally plan on being busy in the upcoming months filling those engagement ring orders, though I hate to say it preparing for the Christmas/ Holiday Season takes up great’s amounts of time now. I go over our inventory of diamond bracelets, studs, pendants to make sure we are positioned correctly. At the same time we begin introducing new styles for the upcoming season keeping in mind our agenda of always accentuating the center and making sure the new styles are timeless.

I personally recommend a trip to New York to come visit us this time of year the city shines this time of year and Shenoa Diamonds as well as our inventory shines along with it.

At the same time you should be planning, whether it’s the guy getting his financial house in order to make that life changing purchase of an engagement ring, or the husband that knows damn well that his beleaguered wife deserves something really special this Christmas( I know a few of you myself but I promise not to name names). Planning takes time so start early because the quote,”it gets late early around here” means a lot around here.

So lets get together and start to finish that planning making a great ending to 2010 we all be better for it!!!!!

It’s Easy ‘cause They Smile

It’s Easy ‘cause They Smile

Boss had just seen a smiling customer plant a kiss on my cheek. She was thrilled with her matching diamond band with the wedding being so close, He comments,” we make people happy”. I counter with, “we are in the happy business”, and after thinking about it we are and how many can say that. Shenoa Diamonds makes people smile, we are involved with couples at their most joyous moment, how many smiles and tears of joy have been seen and shed by the simple act of opening a small box.

The joy in the knowledge of all the hard work and hard earned money and of course the time spent on picking out an engagement ring when presented to that special loved one now that is what I mean by being in the “Happy Business”.

Working with couples on their wedding bands, seeing the long made plans of a grand life together come to fruition that is the “Happy Business”, and I am proud to be part of the moment.

I’ve mentioned my Texas friends before but what can be better that a long lost love reunited and I become an integral part of that reunion now that my friends is being in the’ Happy Business’.

It’s Christmas morning a very tired wife and mother opens up a small box inside are a beautiful pair of 2 ct Diamond Studs here come those tears of joy I mentioned before as the you shouldn’t have and I can’t believe it as well as the I love you flow now that is the ‘Happy Business’

Then there is one of my favorites when a family with small children walks into the store and the children are a little restless I grab a couple of cubic circonia and present them with their first diamonds the joy and wonderment that comes from this simple act is truly inspiring and really puts us in the ‘Happy Business”

So these are just a few examples I invite you to come to Shenoa and visit I ‘m sure you’ll agree with Leon we will make you Happy!!!!!!!!

Good Day Friends……

Hello all Kerry Ryan here……………………….

 

Endings and Beginnings……………………..

      Hey I don’t know if you noticed but summer is just flying by we are already half way through July where the time go. The weather’s been perfect here in NYC (that’s if you like it hot and I’m one of those) It’s been darn near a 10 everyday but I know before we blink autumn will come a calling ending the summer beginning the fall.

 So today we speak of endings to beginnings, we in New York lost an icon this week in George Steinbrenner love him or hate him the man always did what he thought would give him the best chance at winning and his Yankees proved his point so with his sudden ending so starts a beginning for his Sons in charge of running the team their father so coveted, they have a tough act to follow here wishing them all the luck and foresight their father had.

     When a guy gets down on bended knee presents the engagement ring and asks that special lady to marry him so ends one chapter in life and begins a whole new one you are now responsible for two it carries great weight as well as responsibility. They say the fun is in the ride well marriage is one hell of a ride they could name a rollercoaster ‘marriage” and it would be fitting.

     When a newborn comes into a couple’s life so ends the couple and so begins the family. The diamond band given at birth is a badge of honor but I believe there is no greater reward than children I’ve been blessed with two and wouldn’t trade them for anything in the world (though there are days my wife would like a Velcro wall).

     There are so many more we could discuss high school to college, from your parent’s house to that first apartment, from one job to another. There are the milestones in life that should be well rewarded 39 to 40, 49 to 50 etc guys remember these numbers as a jeweler I can attest to the fact that diamond studs or bracelet will lessen the blow.

   So there is an unending list of endings to beginnings these are but a few, kind of like,” when one door closes another door opens” but alas that is for another day……………….

Have a great day!!!!!!

Happy Fourth of July here’s hoping there are Fireworks in your Future

Happy Fourth of July here’s hoping there are Fireworks in your Future…………….

Great holiday the 4th full of fun, family, beaches and barbeques usually ending in a fun filled evening of fireworks. Fireworks they are great I plan on having my two children sitting on the beach this Sunday and I’m sure they’ll be staring in wonderment at the colors the sparkle, they will jump at the noise and in the end they will smile with joy. The first time, while being the best I still get the thrill and look forward to sharing it with my family.

Diamonds whether they be engagement or diamond rings bring the same fascination, the ladies spend months staring in wonderment at the sparkle; they jump with joy when they receive them, and the smiles they produce are unending. The first time given or received is pure joy, while the thrill never lessens no matter how many they have been given.
So I recommend you shoot some fireworks off in your lives all it takes is some time and money you can start with a firecracker (diamond studs or pendant) and work your way up to one of those ultimate explosions you see over the skies of Manhattan with a well timed diamond ring. You know a beautifully cut diamond sparkles like any starburst and lasts a lifetime.

Just as your first fireworks create a life lasting memory so does a diamond given and /or received!!!!!!

Wishing you all the happiest of Fourth of July and a Happy Birthday to the Grand old USA can’t wait to see the sparkle in the eyes of my children!!!!!!!!!

To the winner belongs the Spoils

Hello all Kerry Ryan Here………………..

 To the winner belongs the Spoils……………………..

 This was an amazing weekend that just passed, we had Father’s Day, the US Open, Mets-Yankees, World Cup which all had winners. Let’s face it every Dad won on Sunday I know I did golf, beach, barbeque, family and friends the perfect day. An Irish guy one the open (congrats MR. McDowell), the yanks spanked the Mets twice and the usual subjects pretty much carried the World Cup.

 

 You may ask yourself what this has to do with diamonds well this weekend there were a lot of winners too. There were those lucky June brides walking up the aisle a diamond band waiting to be placed on their finger. There are the graduates whose parents presented with a lovely pair of diamond studs as a show of their pride. Those June weddings turn into June anniversaries which in turn become perfect opportunities for that diamond bracelet that the wife so richly deserves. One of the most important winners is the lucky couple that decided to get engaged this weekend countless hours spent looking for that special diamond and one of a kind diamond setting came to fruition with those magical words being spoken,” will you marry me?”.

  So this weekend so full of promise actually came through giving us winners all around. We can’t say that about all of the weekends some just tend to be more magical then others and this was one of those!!!!!!

 Sure beats talking about the whiners but that’s a whole other day!

Congratulations to all the winners and those that surrounded them.

We stand because of the bravery of the Fallen

Hello all, Kerry Ryan here……….

         We stand because of the bravery of the Fallen………….

 As we talk mainly of diamond and diamond rings let’s talk and think of other thoughts this weekend. The weekend will be filled with barbeques, sun filled days at the beach, fishing golfing and family get togethers we on Monday celebrate Memorial Day the day we honor those who gave their lives to protect us here at home.

  We all sleep at night while thousands of miles away there are brave men and women putting their lives on the line protecting what we hold dear. From the beaches of Normandy to the rice paddies of the Philippines and the far away mountains of Afghanistan these people proudly serve and have serve. So all I ask is that this weekend thank a soldier, hug a sailor, salute a marine, tell a pilot you’re proud of him. These people never ask for are thanks but they richly deserve it, I have family that has served and that are serving currently and I plan on honoring them, it’s time my little ones learn of this so this Monday we will attend the local Memorial Day Parade I will plant flags in their hands and lessons in the hearts of the bravery of these heroes that are before them. I’m sure that one day soon they will hold the pride and love of country that I and those I know do.

So my friends this weekend reach out to those that protect us they will appreciate it and you will be better for it!!!!!!!!!!

Happy Memorial Day to you all!!!!!

If you are the adventurous type sit-down with myself or one of my coworkers and we will design a special something just for you; whether it be a ring, diamond necklace or perhaps a spectacular pair of earrings. Got any old unused jewelry well you could pop out the diamonds trade in the gold and create a truly unique piece and you know what the gold scrap will go along way to paying for it.

We oversee our artisans who directly create everything and I mean everything locally from start to finish. As I’ve stated before you are an integral part of the process, that ladies and gentleman you can’t find in a major store or some distant online Company.

Hello all Kerry Ryan here………………………

 The cards were stacked with HEARTS………………………………….

 Well ladies and gentleman the ring pictured today I just finished and it is truly a work of art. Well heart shapes aren’t for everyone the stunning detail of this mounting is there for the eye to behold.

   Let’s talk about the stats the ring is handmade in platinum containing 326 round brilliant cuts (yes that’s 326!!) totaling 2.39cts as well as two gem round cut rubies sitting just under the culet. The diamonds are all gem quality D/E color VVS clarity set individually micro pave style the detail is unparalleled. The center stone is a rare find a perfectly cut 10ct something really special. This ring was created for one of Shenoa’s longstanding special customer let’s put it this way we have most of her fingers covered (thanks Virginia).

 While the picture and the stats say a lot the process in making the ring is what sets Shenoa Diamonds apart from all others. The customer and I worked hand ‘n’ hand with the model maker from the initial drawings through the wax models until the finished product. The devil’s in the details and if you take in all the views you will see the detail, you won’t see rings with this type of workmanship if you stroll the stores of 5th avenue.

 That’s what we are about here at Shenoa Diamonds we put that kind of blood and sweat into every ring that goes out our door our attention to detail is unmatched. I implore to come have a look see for yourself if you are in the market try us I personally guarantee that you will be thrilled with the end product and you will have fun and amazement at the same time.

Like I always say making you Happy is our business!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

See you soon,

Happy Mother's Day

Hello all and a Happy Mother’s Day from Shenoa Diamonds!!!!!!!!!

Let’s face it no easy job being a mother; sleepless nights, refereeing siblings battles, putting up with their husband’s peccadilloes, always fighting an uphill battle one way or another. Well, Sunday May 9th is their day. So here at Shenoa & Co we have dedicated this week to Mom by stocking a wide selection of Diamond and Fine jewelry that is ready to be boxed, wrapped and given whole heartedly.

  Husbands out there, a pair of Diamond Studs could be just the perfect gift for the Mother of your children. They come in all shapes and sizes and we are sure to have something to fit most budgets. Hey kids, pool that money and buy that Diamond Pendant that Mom’s had her eye on; it will surely bring a smile to her face and God knows she deserves it. Also, don’t forget our amazing array of Diamond Tennis Bracelets that would compliment any women’s wrist as well as jewelry ensemble.

  So without hesitation run don’t walk run down (if you can’t run give a call we can ship anywhere and guarantee delivery before the big day*) to Shenoa & Co. here in New York and make this Mother’s Day a truly memorable one. It just takes a little thought and some money to create a special day for that special Lady in your lives and we would be more than happy to be a part of it!!!!!

Happy Mother’s Day

Choices...

Hello all Kerry Ryan here……………………..

   Choices………………………..

  Through all our lives we are faced with choices. Some are welcome, others are not; it is in how we make our choices are we defined, from a small innocuous choice to a life changing option, they stitch the quilt which is us.

   Let’s talk today about one of the Life changing ones and that would be getting engaged, can anyone dispute that asking another to spend the rest of their lives with you is not life changing. I would beg to differ. When a person takes it upon themselves to present an engagement ring to that important someone it is one of life's defining moments, making it one important choice. How is this choice arrived at? Well, I’ll give you a timeline that I’ve seen more than once.

  It’ starts usually with the first date or unintended meeting, you hit it off and start to date. The relationship progresses over time to the point that you start to contemplate getting engaged now the choices come fast and furious. First you go kicking around some jewelry store looking at different style and shapes of diamonds, then it gets serious. You’ve made the decision to move forward you are going to buy an engagement ring and ask this person to marry you, to be with you forever. Pretty big one, right?

  Okay now you move forward to the actual purchase of the ring, you’ve decided on the shape and the style you’ve hunted down the perfect jeweler (Shenoa Diamonds) and together you create your engagement ring. Next, you need the perfect place to pop the question; whether it is that restaurant you had your first date in, or that secluded beach at sunset, the choice is yours.

  Finally, you announce your engagement to the world. Sometimes you ask the Father for permission, others announce in newspapers, while others just advertise by the diamond on their finger the best wishes and the OH MY God!’s are truly a reaction to behold.

  After the dust clears you realize the engagement leads itself to many other choices; the venue, the flowers, the entertainment, who’s going to sit next to Aunt Edna etc. As you can see a first date can lead to many choices and the engagement ring leads to more still, but I’ll choose to speak of those on another day!!!!!!!!

 Enjoy the week, make some great choices!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Shine on you crazy diamond…………

Hello all Kerry Ryan here……………….

   Shine on you crazy diamond……………………………….

  Let’s talk today about the diamond and its amazing versatility and amazing it is. At Shenoa Diamonds we display it in many ways as the diamond is purchased for many an occasion here are but a few examples:

     Diamond Engagement Ring – probably our core business the diamond engagement ring can be purchased and presented in many ways, from the young couple just starting their amazing journey, to the Husband that wants to present his wife of 25 years with a truly special ring. The diamond engagement ring comes in many forms, from the simple solitaire to the amazingly intricate micro pave diamond halo style, there is truly something for everyone.

    Diamond Stud Earrings – the most purchased diamond style (other than the engagement ring); also simply the greatest gift options for its sheer versatility. As discussed before, the diamond stud can be dressed up and down. They go with jeans, as well as any black tie event and, in my experience, have always been accepted with thrills; good for all occasion holidays, anniversaries, graduations and just becauses (I see a future topic).

    Diamond Pendant/Necklaces – from the simple Drop Pendant to the Diamond Riviera Tennis Necklace. they come in all shapes and sizes; again good for all occasions. What says "I Love You" more than a diamond to be worn around the neck.

   Diamond Tennis Bracelet – what says 'simple elegance better' than the straight line tennis bracelet. They come in all sizes and budgets and complete most jewelry ensembles. There are also many styles to choose from, for the fashion forward crowd, and not one occasion that they won’t work with.

   Diamond Rings – From the simple channel style to an elegant eternity band, this is truly the something for all category. For the girl who’s looking to compliment her engagement ring to the women who desires the 7 ct emerald cut diamond eternity band; Come one, come all, here Shenoa Diamonds is unsurpassed in their selection....I highly recommend a trip to NYC to see for yourself.

  Well again, this is just scratching the surface we will come up with more diamond options in the future!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 Happy Hunting………………………………….

Shenoa & Co. ........Where DIamonds Come From

Shenoa & CO………Where diamonds come from

  While I tend to wax poetic about stories of jewelry and the people that buy them lets talk today about the establishment I so proudly work for, and that is Shenoa Diamonds. What does that mean you may ask? Well the word Shenoa roughly translates into ‘peace of mind’ and in my business that can mean the world.

  I often speak of the Shenoa experience being that we work harder for your business, we may not be big but we are big hearted with bigger thoughts. Here we know that a special shopping experience coupled with a special occasion can last a lifetime and we want to be part of that lifetime. Thankfully, I mention to many a man getting engaged that this is the first of many jewelry purchases and thankfully there is the fiancé on the receiving end of the ring that’s hopes and aspirations keep Shenoa afloat.

   We have all had unpleasant shopping experiences even at well known and promoted stores. It can be tiresome dealing with clerks that could really care less, or my favorite type the condescending ones; you know, the ones that look down their noses when you ask an innocent question or better yet the ones that make you feel like the question you asked is stupid and beneath them. Frankly I have to tell you these are the types that make my job and that of my co workers easier, because I always impress upon others it is easier to be nice, being miserable is work, hard work.

  That Shenoa & Co. , located in midtown Manhattan, affords me the chance to work with all kinds of people. Being located right off 5th Avenue allows me to work with people that have been ticked off by salespeople in some of the finest establishments in the world and I welcome it. Always treat people nice and it comes back in spades. Well, I have an ever-growing clientele that attests to it. Listen, I’m no threat to those big guns but they are a blessing to me.

  So as I have mentioned previously come and visit Shenoa Diamonds the experience is waiting for you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 Shenoa – Peace of mind

Until then…… Fair winds and Following Seas…

Hello all Kerry Ryan here……. 

  Until then…… Fair winds and Following Seas………

   You got to love that quote. It brings life to a simple essence and having a true love for the sea it speaks to me. So lets talk about another of life’s true essences and that would be love and the things we do for it(and in my opinion they aren’t all stupid).

   Those in love have been known to go to extremes, whether it’s searching the four corners or a simple bouquet of flowers, love is professed in a wide array; from the simple act of giving a solitaire diamond engagement ring to the sublime. A tennis bracelet, 5 ct total weight, round diamond studs plus a 3 ct round set in a handmade tapered baguette platinum diamond semi mount (can’t make this up that was one lucky lady’s Christmas). They are both expressions of love, one of life’s true essences.

  I have a dear friend and let’s just say he’s a bit tight, and whenever he buys his wife a gift from me he doesn’t set the budget to high, so what happens is he usually comes back to pick out another gift which is always more expensive than the first. So this year’s birthday gift, a 5 stone diamond band, turns into a handmade antique style diamond ring. It makes no matter to me, this ain’t my first rodeo, so I’m used to it and I always tell Phil that’s how’s it’s going to play out no matter.

  Again, just love playing out and it’s nice to see in a couple that’s been married for 25 years and still acting like they just got together, it’s really quite heartening.

  Then there’s the guy who scrapes together a couple of thousand to buy his girlfriend a diamond ring in the hopes that they will have a beautiful life together. It’s not the amount of money, it’s the love that he feels for this girl that’s the driving force it will conquer.

  I could go on and on, but I don’t wish to bore you , I just wish you all love one of life’s true essences!!!!

 Until Then……. Fair Winds and Following Seas………………………

From the Mouths of Babes

  Hello all Kerry Ryan here……..

 From the mouths of babes…………………………………

  I got home last night and my cheerful daughter Kayla met me at the door (as per usual). She follows me around the house as I adjust to home life, kiss my wife, say a hello to my son and so on. Well, I finally arrive in the kitchen to put together dinner and my daughter asks,” you know what I want for Easter daddy” thinking candy, Easter eggs or those marshmallow chickens I state flatly,” no honey what do you want” Kayla replies,” I want gold and diamonds”. I say,’Huh”, she states again, “ I want gold and diamonds”. To say the least I’m a bit flabbergasted and start chuckling to which I get the response,” and a chocolate bunny too.”

  Thankfully for my business, the education in diamonds starts young. The girls all seem to go to the same school, which is okay by me. Unfortunately, us guys tend to start our education much later in life, usually around the time when we here,” you know Mike we’ve been dating for two years now and my girlfriend Susan just got an engagement ring, and her and Bob have only been dating a year what’s up with that.” At this point Mike has two options, and the smoothest path is to get that Diamond Engagement Ring. The other option can be quite sticky and messy.

  Well Mike, I can tell you we at Shenoa Diamonds are here to help with the education, the process of choosing the right diamond and setting to go along with it. I’m sure Mike is sweating beads and afraid of the unknown (and at this point cursing Bob). No worries, we are real easy to deal with and Mike knows he’s deeply in love with his girlfriend and was just postponing the inevitable.

  So this ditty’s motto should be, At Shenoa & CO relax don’t sweat the small stuff we’ll take care of that for you , you just take care of the rest of your lives!!!!!!!

 Happy Hunting!!!!!!!!!

What is a diamond???

Untitled Document

Hello all Kerry Ryan here…………………… 

  What is a diamond???????

  This is a question that depending on the individual can come with many answers and meanings let’s take a look at a few:

• Technical- coal that is formed under high pressure deep in the bowels of the Earth then brought to the surface via volcanoes
• Mysterious- for time memoriam sought after by Kings and Rulers and great powers to horde and bring wealth
• Haunting - some have been said to been cursed (the Hope Diamond) the owner falling to foul deeds and terrible endings, a terrible burden
• Dangerous – lives and fortunes have been lost just to bring diamonds to the surface, wars have been won and lost just to have them in one’s possession
• Romantic – Love has been spread by the simple deed of a diamond given
• Forever – handed down from generation to generation passed from Mother to Daughter
• Exhilarating – breathe can be taken away tears of joy can form by just being the person who receives the diamond
• Hoped for – there are many out there who’s main thought is the hope that they will be given one soon

   So in review a diamond is technically mysterious while being dangerously haunting forever romantic exhilaratingly hoped for!!!!!!!

 That’s just a few I’m sure you have more………………….

  Hello me wee leprechaun Friends Kerry Michael Ryan here…………………..

  Being Irish myself and a traditionalist, I am wishing you all a very Happy St Patrick’s day. It is a day that inspires smiles and good cheer and I recommend to all our Shenoa friends the same. While we are not all Irish, it’s not hard to share in a day when we can all act like we are.

   It’s a day inspired by great deeds and should be celebrated in kind, on a day that the many parade up 5th Avenue dancing many a jig along the way. A day when I personally see such smiles and loved shared by all when you can’t help but to hum an Irish tune, my hope is that you too dance a jig, whistle a tune, kiss a loved one and bring a smile to someone special to you.

  So, on St Patty’s day I invite you to shine as bright as a Diamond and to sparkle brightly as any gem!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

     ‘ May the road rise to meet you

      May the wind be always at your back

      A warm sun in your face

      And may a gentle rain fall upon your fields…………….

   And most importantly……………………..

 May you be in Heaven a half hour before the Devil knows your dead!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  (in my case pray for a solid 45 minutes to a hour head start)

 HAPPY ST. PATTY’S DAY

When Great Minds Meet...

Hello all Kerry Ryan here………

 
  When great minds meet…………………..

 Its Friday morning, and we are setting up the store. Adam’s putting the finishing touches on the Diamond wedding bands, while gently displaying the Sapphire and diamond rings throughout the window. On the other side of the store Mel’s taking precious care while making sure the Diamond engagement rings and the Fancy colored diamonds rings look perfect(Mel’s a stickler). Nastya just finished the inside showcases, filled with diamond studs and diamond wedding rings and much, much more. We do this everyday at Shenoa & CO. We painstakingly display, then we plan; and the plan is to meet you, to help you fill your needs, to make your shopping experience as flawless as possible, to treat you with the same care we do in setting up the store.

  Somewhere out there on this Friday morning there is a guy named Landon planning to go shopping for a diamond engagement ring he’s done his homework, he knows that Kellee wants a cushion cut diamond set in a platinum with a diamond halo now here’s where the planning comes in. Landon has asked around, got recommendations and is prepared to purchase that diamond ring. Lucky for both of us he was recommended to Shenoa by one of his buddies, who happily purchased his diamond engagement ring at Shenoa Diamonds.

  Lambros has held out long enough; his long suffering wife Rita has put up with his grumpiness and his golf playing(though I hear she encourages it as it gets him out of the house and out of her hair) so for that special birthday he is going to buy that Handmade 5 stone diamond band that she has been yearning for. Lucky for him, his golf partner’s a jeweler so his planning ends there, lucky for me is that I’m his golf partner and I’ll steer my good friend in the right direction and at the same time get Rita that gorgeous ring she covets.
 
John and Lois have twin granddaughters about to receive confirmation and plan on getting them diamond crosses for this special occasion. Their planning starts and ends with Shenoa & CO, as they have shopped here before and have always been thrilled with the outcome.
 

What I’m driving at is these are all great minds which will all meet at Shenoa & CO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's all about You.... The Customer

Hello all Kerry Ryan Here……………..

  It’s all about YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    When I’m out at other stores, I always observe the sales and support staff and how they interact with their customers. I’ve found that one can learn quite a bit from these observations. Recently, I’ve been to two well known businesses, one a Home improvement store and the other a Retail cell phone outlet, and they had decidedly different tact. At the home improvement store, the staff I find is always more then helpful, whether it’s with information, finding the product you’re looking for, or just checking out. Conversely, at the Cell phone store I’ve always found the sales staff aloof and somewhat stand offish. Sadly I’ve also seen this in jewelry stores; all I have to do is walk into a store on 5th Avenue to see a customer treated rudely.

   Well, not At Shenoa Diamonds. Here it is our pledge to treat all customers with  all the respect they deserve, whether you are checking us out online or walking through the door, it is our goal to make your experience truly a heartening experience. I don’t care if you are looking for a replacement backing for your diamond stud earring or are prepared to buy a 3 carat Round diamond. My pledge to you is you will be treated absolutely the same no ifs, ands or buts. I prefer the down home approach, just the way I prefer to be treated, and try to convey that to my coworkers. Let’s face it, we may not always bring our A game, but at Shenoa Diamonds we try to be 100%.

  The customer is what we are all about and we want your shopping experience to come off flawlessly. Hey, I’ve always said a happy customer tells 10 people about his/her experience, an unhappy one tells 50, so we better be good. So stop on by, let’s talk about that diamond engagement ring, that gift for mom for Mother’s Day (you know she wants those diamond studs) or that kink you want taken out of that gold chain that you cherish from your grandparents.

   We at Shenoa are doing our damnedest to put the Customer back in customer service!!!!!!

  Hey have a great day and want to thank all those who are leaving feedback keep it coming!

Anticipation is making me great……………………………

Well, March has thankfully arrived, and here at Shenoa Diamonds we anticipate a booming bridal season; and in anticipation, I am introducing new and exciting styles. As most weddings are between April and September, and most engagements, last a year, it means that most engagement rings are given between April and September. So, that is the main reason we tend to introduce new styles at this time of the year.

It doesn’t matter if it’s the new micro pave style or the twist we’ve added to the classic three stone engagement ring. We try to stay cutting edge. If you have time to travel and visit us here in New York, myself or one of my co-workers would be thrilled to show you what’s new. We have a great staple of current and classic styles that cover all spectrums something for everybody. From the loose diamond inventory- semi mounts- finished rings, I would be amazed if you couldn’t find something to thrill you and you fiancé.

Our custom design department is available 7 days a week to put together that really special handmade ring, I’ve already discussed with you how I work with most customers designing individual rings that speak of one’s individual personality. We are prepared and ready to deliver. Just writing this gets my blood flowing, gets my brain working overtime, gets me ready to work with you.

So call. Email or just come on in to Shenoa Diamonds and we will get working together my promise to you is that you will be thrilled with the outcome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Speak soon, have a great day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hope Springs Eternal…………………………

Hello all Kerry Ryan here…………..

Hope Springs Eternal…………………………

Well, the winter from hell continues looking at more then a foot of snow here at Shenoa Diamonds and in NYC I've really had enough, so lets think warmer thoughts. Ever the optimist. I'll share some with you.

I hope that spring comes sooner rather then later; tired of shoveling it, stepping in it and sloshing through it bring on the warm weather please!!!

I hope for all that the find that special someone as I have found mine (humor me Jackie) when you do life tends to complete itself.

I hope that this spring brings together another successful bridal season, when April amps up. So do the requests for Engagement rings, wedding bands it is truly an exciting time in the diamond business.

I hope that all the weddings being planned, come off flawlessly. We at Shenoa & CO are her to fulfill our part of the bargain.

I hope for those about to pop the question, that the answer is always a resounding YES!!!!!

I hope that those that want to fall in love do; and that those who are, their love continues to grow by leaps and bounds.

I hope (and believe) that for those that are waiting for that special ring, that this is the year your dreams come true.

Well, all this was a little sappy I hope you'll just indulge me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hope…………………………………….

Have a great day!!!!!
