Hello all Kerry Ryan Here,
Winter has hit New York and Shenoa & CO again begs to ask the question how’s that Global Warming thing going?? While we are digging out of another 12 inches of global warming here I’ve decided to start to set the Diamond and Jewelry Agenda for 2011.
We are anticipating breaking out some new styles in engagement rings with fine micro pave pieces being in the forefront, I will be posting new pictures very soon and would welcome any and all feedback.
Introducing new Diamond necklace and pendants this year with a heavy accent on Fancy color Diamonds set in Micro Pave bezels featuring colorless white diamonds. They are quite a study in contrasts and would fit in well to any women’s collection as they can be dressed up and down; this NEW line is truly exciting you should come see for yourself.
This past Christmas Diamond and Sapphire combinations were the rage from earrings to Eternity bands our customers couldn’t get enough so I plan on restocking what sold and building a few new items. Personally I love Diamond and Sapphire combinations again because they are neutral friendly and really standout. My lovely wife can bear witness to this fact she received a sapphire and diamond eternity band for the birth of Brenden Patrick and diamond and sapphire Earrings for an anniversary and she wears them often.

Restocking of our diamond stud inventory has begun in earnest, this year we are going to raise the bar and introduce to our stock higher qualities, we usually keep the higher qualities loose but found ourselves this season matching many a pair of loose stones, so why not set up pairs in varying sizes seems to be the next logical step. While our stock inventory continues to be full and unparalleled never hurts to expand a little bit. So come on in try them on maybe an upgrade is in your future as they say ‘hey you never know’.
In review of our diamond necklace section I’ve decided that we have something for everyone, a tennis necklace is a must for the jewelry collection and absolutely wearable, ladies there is many an occasion that a diamond tennis necklace is called for so again stop on by and try some on.
Diamond bands from micro pave to Diamond Eternity are here this is an area That Shenoa specializes in I’ll post a bunch of pictures see what you like and let us know.
As far as the miscellaneous goals this year:
1) We have almost 400 fans we want to grow by leaps and bounds so please recommend that your friends friend us(hope I said that right) our goal is a 1000 by April help us on our way ….I’ll keep you posted
2) 2011 is going to be” The year of the Customer” I have charged my staff that we are to amp up our customer service to make sure that we come out on top in the way that we serve you again all feedback is welcome.
3) Ever the optimistic we at Shenoa & CO believe that this year will be better for all we wish it for you and your families and friends may you find that higher peak.
4) Lastly we look forward to all those new friends and customers that will grace our doors this year that is always the exciting part, the anticipation is palatable and we welcome it!!!!
Speak Soon,

A Very Happy New Years To All
Hello all Kerry Ryan here……….
Wishing all the will to attain their dreams and the hope that you get there!!!!!!
Resolutions…….
A new year has begun and with it come the resolutions made some attainable and others far-fetched, you know the usual: lose weight, quit smoking, and work out and the far- fetched: lose weight, quit smoking, and work out.
Well at Shenoa & Co. We try to keep the resolutions within reason and this year is no different let me give you an overview:
Specially Made for a Special Shenoa Customer. Part 1 of the "Viginia Mia" Collection. Over 300 Round Brilliant Micro set with a 10ct Heart Shape Diamond
1) Customer Service this always takes priority at Shenoa and we will review what we did in 2010 and tweak what we think is necessary for 2011 an example being: will be better educating our customers about costs where we used to not charge for certain repairs with the spiraling prices of precious metals we can no longer do so. While we feel our customers will understand a thorough explanation will go a long way in helping their understanding.
2) Inventory will be revamped and refreshed, while maintaining our cutting edge into newer designs and experimentation, we will not forsake the classics (they are classics for a reason), we will take a long hard look at older pieces and see if they are still viable, again we look forward to introducing new styles of engagement rings, wedding bands, diamond bracelets and necklaces while keeping in mind the need for the staples: diamond studs, classic tennis bracelets and necklaces etc.
3) With great anticipation that 2011 will be a better year then 2010 we look forward to expanding our diamond inventory strongly feeling that the strength of the Cushion Cut and Radiant Cut Diamond will continue to be in high demand. This is a resolution we make every year and if you stop by Shenoa & CO you’ll see for yourself that our inventory of loose diamonds is unparalleled, so that is an open invite ladies and gentlemen.
Personally I wish to be in better contact with my customer base; I welcome all feedback and look forward to our little talks. I will be introducing new styles in the upcoming weeks and months and promise that you all will be the first to preview
While this may not be a resolution as I do often I invite one and all to stop by the store in NYC the actual address is 1 West 47th Street between 5th and 6th Ave so if you are making a trip to NYC come knock on our door we would be happy to see you, remember we are open 7 days a week so there are no excuses. Make this the year you bring that special someone in or yourself in to pick something up for that special someone. Life is more then a point and click, human interaction can never be replaced by a screen and a keyboard so stop on by we’ll have a smile waiting for you and go on from there.
Okay guys that’s a few I’m sure there’s more and we will get to them eventually…….
Happy New Year!!!!!!!

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,
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
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,
