The Treasured Trio
Jan. 20, 2020
What comes to mind when you think about the word “treasure?”
Gold, diamonds, rubies, pearls?
We think of our three jewelry merchants. Why? Their knowledge of the industry, ability to identify trends and negotiate great prices on behalf of our members make them our treasured trio.
We spoke with our jewelry merchants, Kara Deleon, Candy Robinson and Rebekah Howe, about their three favorite jewelry they’ve purchased for Valentine’s Day. Here’s what they had to say:
Question: Valentine’s Day is right around the corner. Kara, what have you been excited to get into members’ hands?
Answer: I’ve worked with suppliers to bring classic diamond staples to our members that they would want to wear everyday at a price that will shock them.
Question: When you say staples what do you mean?
Answer: Just like a black dress, a trench coat and a nice pair of jeans, there are certain jewelry staples that should be included in your jewelry box. Here are a few of my favorites:
Inside Out Diamond Hoops
Hoops that sparkle. Our Inside Out Diamond Hoops are nearly 2 carats of 44 diamonds in total and are mounted in 14k gold. Comes with an IGI appraisal of $2870. Diamonds are set on the front and the interior of the back of the hoop for extra shine for $1,888!
Diamond Solitaire
A diamond Ring. Whether it’s for popping the question or showing some self-love, nothing beats a diamond ring, for the right or left hand. This classic diamond solitaire is just under one carat appraises for $4,555 and can be purchased at Sam’s Club for $3,324.

Question: What’s a big trend that you see in the marketplace and on the streets that you’ve accounted for when selecting items for members to give/receive this Valentine’s day?
Answer: (Rebecca took this one) Stacking is HUGE! Necklaces, rings, bracelets, the more the merrier. Layering new and old, bold and delicate, classic and trendy. Have no fear. My favorite pieces for Valentine’s Day are these beauties.
Rolo Link Bracelet
Our Rolo Link Bracelet is less than $300 and crafted in 14K Yellow Gold. The bracelet is 8 inches long and is a light, classic addition to your jewelry collection. Perfect to layer with other metals, cuffs and bangles.
Horseshoe Bracelet
Horseshoe Bracelet is very on trend and crafted with Italian sterling silver. It includes 72 pave diamonds and is IGI certified. It’s a huge look that includes ultra-chic popcorn mesh. Perfect to layer with smaller bracelets as a stacking anchor.
Love Necklace
Nothing celebrates Valentine’s Day more than our sterling silver and diamond Love necklace and its less than $100 so the gift giver will love the price!

Question: What are some special items that members will find that they may not be looking for specifically?
Answer: (Candy jumped in to respond) We’ve been very deliberate to curate an assortment of items that we know our members will love. We do this by collaborating with suppliers to create special pieces that our members may not have been looking for initially, but fall in love with at first sight.
Prasiolite
Colored stones are a big deal right now and the bigger the stone the better. This 12-carat checkerboard-cut Prasiolite set in 14k yellow gold is reminiscent of an heirloom piece. Ask Kara, she just bought one! This ring is less than $300 and is quite the eye catcher.
Gold Hoop Earrings
I’m also thrilled to bring our members these 5x50 mm 14k gold hoop earrings for only $319. These are big hoops with quality gold, so our members can let go of the fake ones in their jewelry box!
Bypass Bangle
Lastly I love our 14k Yellow Gold Bypass Bangle. This is special because it’s not your typical bangle, but remains classic with its modern design. The hinged closure makes it easy to take on and off. This item is also a great layering piece like Rebekah mentioned earlier. We’ve already had a handful of members review this product online, all giving five out of five stars!

Question: Last question: Yellow, Rose or White gold?
Answer: (In unison they all answered ) "ALL!"
