With all of the hype over gold prices, many people sell things they are bored with. Before you act too quickly, consider your options.

Karen decided to reset her diamond into this beautiful new bridal set.

Not only did she save alot of money by investing in what she owned already, the finished rings are so attractive that I doubt seriously that Karen will ever want to part with her diamond!

We will be closed Friday July 4th, 2008 and will reopen on Saturday July 12th, 2008.

All online orders placed between this timeframe will be processed immediately after we reopen. We apologize for any inconvenience that this may cause.

If you could buy an ideal cut diamond, a diamond with such precise proportions that mathematically its considered the very best, wouldnt you consider it?

If you could buy a diamond that is more beautiful than others, a diamond graded with the latest in light performance technology, wouldnt you consider it?

If you could buy an eight hearts and eight arrows diamond that is dissected during the grading process with such incredible accuracy that your level of certainty is guaranteed, wouldnt you consider it?

If you could buy an ideal cut diamond with such strong value that the price withstood the harshest internet search available including every major diamond website, ebay, Blue Nile, and Craigs List, wouldnt you consider it?

If you could buy the most beautiful diamond using your own eyes while sitting in a local and comfortable store using the finest available binocular zoom microscope, wouldnt you consider it?

If you could buy the most brilliant diamond with a Graduate Gemologist trained at the Gemological Institute of America who acts as your guide through a maze of questions and concerns, wouldnt you consider it?

If you could be convinced of anything, you should be convinced we are worth the trip. Please consider Craig Coyne.

Congratulations to the happy couple!!!

Don’t forget to mark your calendars. Date night with your jeweler is November 9th from 6pm-9pm! Hope to see you there.

The store is looking great. Won’t be long now….

Over the next couple of weeks, we are having work done at the store. Please pardon our mess while we give our storefront a fresh new look. It’s going to be awesome!!!

...to help jog your memory.

The owner of this ring will be having a phenomenal 10th wedding anniversary!

...resetting a diamond you own can be cute and affordable.

A work in progress…

If you have lots of jewelry and none of it is particularly valuable, you may think it’s not worth appraising. What if your whole jewelry box was stolen? Now, all of those moderately priced pieces of jewelry have added up to a large financial loss to you.

After doing some research, I learned that theft is at an all time high. I then spoke with some customers and was amazed at how many had suffered losses. That’s when I decided to take action and create a plan that will truly protect my customers. The Complete Protection Package is here.

The policies within this package include:

Never Without – the appraisals will be done in front of you, while you wait so that you never have to leave your jewelry.

Continuous Update – our sophisticated information management works continuously so that we can notify you when the value of your jewelry changes.

Replacement – our digital imaging equipment is superior, giving us the ability to re-create your jewelry if you ever suffer a loss.

Always Clean – we will professionally clean your jewelry for free whenever you like, for a lifetime.

Safety Check – we will professionally examine your jewelry for free in an effort to prevent loss and we’ll do it for a lifetime.

We have the credentials insurance companies require:

* Graduate Gemologist, Gemological Institute of America

* Member, National Association of Jewelry Appraisers

Local Jewelry Appraiser Elected to Membership in The National Association of Jewelry Appraisers

Sam Coyne President and Co-founder of Craig Coyne Jewelers, Ellicott City, was recently elected to membership in The National Association of Jewelry Appraisers. Having met all the necessary requirements and having been qualified, Sam Coyne has been granted accreditation and the Association has conferred the professional designation of member.

The Association which has members throughout the United States is dedicated to the maintenance of professional standards, professional ethics and education in the field of jewelry appraising.

All members must adhere to the professional Code of Ethics of the Association and all appraisal assignments must be performed under the constraints of this Code.

Wanting to celebrate a significant anniversary in style, my client confessed to me that she has always wanted a ring that symbolizes here family. She beautifully described to me how important her family “nucleus” is to her. Her husband, herself and her child are represented here in our latest creation of precious topaz, aquamarine, diamonds and eighteen karat gold.

I really do love my job!

PS. Nancy, if you’re still overseas…I can’t wait until you get to see this in person! Thank you, thank you, thank you for letting me make this for you!

Warm Regards,

Sam Coyne

Reinvesting in the diamond you already own is always an option.

Fortunately for the woman who hired us to create this ring, the option has become an attractive one as well!

Cheers,

Sam Coyne

We’re back from Las Vegas. In case you missed it, we closed the store to go on a huge buying trip.

Michael bought his way through the International Antique & Estate Jewelry show. He opened numerous new accounts and found some increbible jewels. My favorites are a few Art Nouveau jewels that Michael found at a strong value.

Jesse attended the 16th Annual Jewelry Show where he found fresh, new designers from all over the United States and the world. An “unbreakable” new Titanium collection from Belgium captured my attention immediately. The patented technique makes thin wires of Titanium unable to be bent. I especially enjoyed the delicate and feminine style coupled with the extreme durability. Great for travel, the fashion forward and the “rough and tough” active woman.

If you haven’t subscribed to our e-mail list at the bottom of each of our website pages….SUBSCRIBE NOW…it may very well be the only way we notify you when all of these goodies arrive!

Cheers,

Sam Coyne

PS. We are back to regular store hours.

The entire company is going on a buying trip to an international jewelry event in Las Vegas.

CRAIG COYNE WILL BE CLOSING AT 5PM ON SATURDAY, JUNE 2ND AND WILL REOPEN ON THURSDAY, JUNE 7TH.

If you have a particular interest or something you want for us to look for…EMAIL US IN VEGAS


THANKS SO MUCH FOR UNDERSTANDING! SEE YOU WHEN WE GET BACK!

Here’s a little trick that jewelers have known about for years…if your rings are stuck on your fingers, try a spray of Windex! Yes, Windex. Windex makes skin very slippery but still allows you to hold tightly to your ring, making it so much easier to take off.

Cheers,

Sam

I hope that every woman in the world at least one time in their life experiences the sensation a ring like this can create. Congratulations to the adorable woman who calls it her own!

Art and jewelry coincide if you do things correctly. Here are two rings that we were commissioned to create recently. The design ideas are very different, but the strong execution carries both into a realm most think of as Art.

What can we create for you?

Some jewelry is more than adornment. The heritage of the necklace I’m showing adds an academic element to ownership.

The sensation of knowing someone really cares enough makes all the difference.

This image of Olenka and her daughter is beautiful to me. I’m thrilled with the idea that we helped Olenka to become engaged and now her daughter is shopping with us too! LOL

I’m here with Amanda who teaches me pottery at The Potters Guild.

Thanks for making our Estate Show the best we’ve ever had.

I followed Michael’s career for a number of years and finally convinced him to work for me. Michael has been in charge of the Estate Jewelry department at Craig Coyne for a year now.

Our cases are ready to go for our Estate Jewelry Show this weekend and the jewels are spectacular.

I want everyone to hear it from me first…Michael is showin’ me up!

This collection is very much worth a visit. It’s a must see, but remember it’s this weekend only.

Cheers,

Sam Coyne
