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
