Q & A
Ashley Davis, our senior buyer, answers your jewelry-related questions. Learn how you can "Ask Ashley."
Chris W: What would be a good PANDORA bead for Mother's Day?
Ashley: There are so many PANDORA beads available that would make a great Mother's Day gift. We have little boys/girls, baby booties, bouquet of flowers, the "I love you" bead and more. Check out PANDORA's website to see even more great gift ideas.
Robert P.: I saw a TV ad for "Love Knot" jewelry and wondered if you carried that in the store?
Ashley: Yes, we do have a nice selection of Everlon diamond jewelry in many different styles and price ranges. We also have a sterling silver and diamond "Love Knot" pendant for only $99. Everlon jewelry is a great way to symbolize the everlasting strength of love...plus it makes a very thoughtful Valentine's Day gift.
Kristin E: I heard one of your radio commercials on 99.7, and I wondered if those were true engagement stories?
Ashley: Yes, those are the actual engagement stories. We are always looking for good engagement stories from our customers. Send us an email at info@davisjewelers.com if you would like to share your story with us.
Margie S: When will you have the new PANDORA fall beads?
Ashley: Well we hope to have them by our Girls Night on Wednesday, November 11, but we are still waiting for confirmation from PANDORA on exactly when they will arrive. We will keep you posted.
Rachel T: My husband lost his wedding band and I wanted to surprise him with a new one, but I don't know his finger size. What should I do?
Ashley: The best thing to do is to purchase the band in the case and present that to him as the surprise gift. Then he can stop by the store and we'll order the correct size.
Beth K: Do you carry the Pandora mix and match jewelry?
Ashley: Yes, we carry a wide selection in the store and we can also place special orders.
Sam P: My wife has a charm bracelet, and I wondered if you carried any charms?
Ashley: Since there are so many charms available, we no longer carry charms in the store (other than Pandora), but we can order them.
Mike S: My wife and I are expecting our first child in December, and everyone keeps telling me that I need to buy her a "push gift." I have no idea where to start, and I wondered if you could offer some suggestions?
Ashley: First off, congratulations! You might consider a beautiful mother and child pendant. The pendants come in a variety of styles in both yellow and white gold. Also, anything containing the baby's birthstone would make a nice gift. Since your baby will be born in December, I suggest choosing a blue topaz piece.
Rick A: My wife has 3 rings in yellow gold. Can they be replated in white gold?
Ashley: The rings can be replated in white gold; however, we don't recommend it, because the plating will wear and the yellow gold will return. The only time we really recommend having a ring replated is when someone is thinking they might want to switch from wearing yellow gold jewelry to white gold jewelry, because the plating is temporary.
Sean L: How much should I spend on an engagement ring?
Ashley: That's an excellent question, and it's really up to you. The old rule of thumb used to be three months salary, but it's really whatever you're comfortable with. Just keep in mind that we have hundreds of unique engagement rings in every price range, so I'm sure we can help you find the perfect one.
Carol T: My daughter will be celebrating her 1st Communion, and I wondered if you could recommend an appropriate gift?
Ashley: I always say that pearls make wonderful 1st Communion gifts. Pearls are timeless and would go perfectly with her dress. Plus, it's something she can wear for the rest of her life. EK Designs also has a beautiful First Communion bracelet.
You might also consider a beautiful cross pendant. We have a wide selection of cross pendants in a variety of styles in both white and yellow gold.
Matt R: Does your store have gift certificates, or can I create an account that my family can make purchases on?
Ashley: Yes, we do have gift certificates, or you may also put money on account for your family.
