Behind Kline's Doors

Eternity and So Much More!

noreply@blogger.com (Behind Kline's Doors) — Wed, 01 Apr 2015 19:34:00 +0000

Most of our customers seem to overlook the versatility of the eternity band. Since we just got this lovely new band, we wanted to try and set the record straight of this great genre of bands :) Which band made us want to rectify this?

This beautiful leaf designed band - isn't it so pretty?! The "leaf" sections of the band are actually clusters of small round diamonds that are set to make the leaf shape and they are separated by bezel set round diamonds. The band has a combined weight of 0.85 carats in this size 7.5. This band just deserves to be worn and loved, and it was a great candidate to show the different ways you can wear eternity bands.

First off, we have the time honored classic - an eternity band next to a 0.82 carat round diamond solitaire. The glory of this combo is that is really will match anything else you wear. We've accessorized it here with a simple 3 ctw diamond tennis bracelet, but really the options are endless!

If you're a fan of a little more pizazz in your engagement ring, you could choose something like this 1.03 ct radiant cut yellow diamond ring. The ring is 18 karat and 22 karat gold with another 0.97 carats in the side diamonds - plus the center diamond is bezel set to add extra security. This engagement ring works for one simple reason - it has a shelf style halo. The "shelf style" means that the band is able to tuck under the halo area, giving you the freedom to pair it with any band that has a flat edge. We accessorized this combo with a beautiful antique hand-cut filigree bracelet, giving this look a great balance of vintage and modern style.

If you're more the customer who likes to change things up easily, why not use the eternity band as a stacker? Here we have the eternity band with a simple 1/2 ctw diamond band and a 2 mm plain gold band on either side. The glory of this combo is that you can change it up at any moment! Don't feel like wearing all three? Just wear the band alone, or with only the plain band if you'd like to tone things down a bit. Want a different look a few years later? It's much less expensive to purchase a new side band than to change out your entire wedding set if you went the traditional engagement ring route. This combo also would work beautifully for a right hand ring! We accessorized the stacker set with a simple but elegant Bulova watch (#96R137), giving this a great "everyday" sort of look. You can dress it up or down as you please :)

The final look we put together is what I think is the most elegant. This band is a wonderful addition to this Gabriel & Co engagement ring (style number ER5375) with a 1.28 ct center diamond and another 0.44 carats on the sides. This engagement ring has a fairly flat side and a shelf style halo, letting the band slide just under the engagement to look like a set. The band is set in a similar style to the engagement ring (micro pavé), so the rings still look like they belong together even though the come from different designers. To amp up the elegance of this look, we accessorized it with a simple 6-7 mm Akoya pearl bracelet - always a classic look!

As you can see, an eternity band can be so much more than just sitting by itself! This simple designed band is much more versatile than most would give it credit for.

Like any of these looks? Come in our store anytime to see them in person!

We now have a better set up and will be able to blog more often to give our customers a glimpse behind the scenes here at Kline's Jewelry.

We have loads of fun and useful posts planned, so check back often! We promise we won't wait so long to post again :)

We Have The Limited Edition Accutron Spaceview!

noreply@blogger.com (The Klines) — Mon, 01 Nov 2010 17:31:00 +0000

Accutron has come out with a 50th anniversary edition of their original Spaceview watch! It is an exact replica with the original tuning fork movement and everything, but the outer case is a tiny bit bigger.

We are one of a very select list of stores throughout the country to receive a watch from the first set that were sent out. There will only be 1000 of these watches made and each watch is numbered. These are already difficult to find, so don't let the opportunity pass you by to purchase one in your own backyard.

This watch comes with all authenticity paperwork, a glass display case with the watch's number on an engraved plaque, and a storage box. We are selling ours for the suggested retail of $3999.95.

New Item! Voluspa Candles!

noreply@blogger.com (The Klines) — Tue, 12 Oct 2010 17:01:00 +0000

The Kline family has long been a fan of Voluspa brand candles, and about a month ago Shannon had the idea, "Why don't we carry them in our store?"

Fast forward to today, and we now have various selections from their Maison Noir Collection and Japonica Collection.

The Voluspa line was created by a husband and wife team from Lake Forest, California in 1999. Traci Arntsen, the wife of the team, says, "We began conducting experiments working with every wax and material used for candles that we could find. I even imported floral waxes from India to see what we could create with those. Our goal was to make a candle that burned clean and deep into the wax in order to maximize both glow and fragrance throw. Once we started to blend waxes, working with those traditionally used by European candle-makers, we made tremendous progress. The resulting formula from these experiments is a highly refined blend of several types of exceptional quality waxes. These waxes combined handled every fragrance we developed expertly, yielded an extended burn time, and a lustrous glow."

"Voluspa Candles are pure luxury. We don't cut corners or put anything into our candles that is not of the highest quality. Our fragrances are second to none and take hours of careful development to create. With over 50 to choose from throughout the Voluspa collections there is truly something for everyone... We love what we do and have much more to come."

From the Maison Noir Collection, we have :
Crisp Champagne, Lichen & Vetiver, and Vervaine Olive Leaf.

From the Japonica Collection, we have:
Santiago Huckleberry, French Cade and Lavendar, Goji and Tarocco Orange, and Baltic Amber.

We love everything about these candles, from the presentation and packaging, to the scents, to the prices! They last a long time and they really fill the room with the scent.

We have some that are 3 wick candles in decorative tins, some in tall decorative ceramic jars, and some that are classic glass.

Come by today to see and smell our newest products!

Large Knuckle Solution!

noreply@blogger.com (The Klines) — Mon, 13 Sep 2010 14:17:00 +0000

We have customers come in everyday who want to get their rings sized, but can't quite find the perfect fit. For many, the size that fits over their knuckle makes the ring spin around once it gets to the back of their finger. Unfortunately, we could only tell each concerned ring sizee that we can only make the ring the size they tell us to as there is no happy medium in these cases.

Over the many years we have been in business, we have seen all kinds of products claiming to solve this problem, from putting balls of gold in the shank (which are uncomfortable and not very effective) to a company who manufactures their own special shank (which works wonderfully, but usually costs more than you paid for your ring). The only cost effective option that tends to help the most is a temporary metal ring guard, which don't last very long and can scratch your finger as they get older.

So, why am I telling you all these problems we have had? Because we have recently found a very effective alternative!

This little bar has to be soldered onto one side of the bottom of your ring, then a small notch is made in the other side of the shank. Once it's on, you just slide your ring on, then snap the swing guard in place. Isn't that simple? It is only visible from the bottom and it looks like this:

If you are suffering from this unfortunate fitting problem, come in today and we can get a price on a swing bar to fit your ring :)

From Vegas With Love....

noreply@blogger.com (Shannon) — Mon, 26 Jul 2010 16:24:00 +0000

For those of you who don't know, last month we had the pleasure of going to Las Vegas for the annual JCK jewelry show. JCK Las Vegas is big business, pretty much everyone in the industry is there and there are 4 days dedicated to nothing but jewelry and really, what could be better?! I got to attend this year and even though it was a little overwhelming having a bajillion jewelry vendors selling everything you could think of, I had a BLAST! While shopping for fabulous items to bring home to good ol' Port Saint John I couldn't help but do a little shopping for myself.

At the very end of the very last day, Marty, Kathy and I were browsing the show to see everything we possibly could and happened to run into an incredible find! BH Multi was there and caught my eye immediately.This company has accounts creating jewelry for places such as Lord and Taylor and Saks Fifth Avenue and now for Kline's Jewelry! They have amazing designs ranging from fashion jewelry to Bridal and everything is very unique.
Check out our new beauties!

And last my personal favorite, and new friend :)

We can't wait to go again next year!

New Custom Pieces

noreply@blogger.com (The Klines) — Wed, 05 May 2010 21:58:00 +0000

A few months ago, a lady came in with some jewelry she had inherited from her sister. She wanted to use the gold and stones she had to make something for her grand daughters. So, we pulled out the books and picked a design.
These were the pieces she started out with:
And we made 6 identical pendants out of her diamonds, 2 in white gold and 4 in yellow gold.

She just picked them up today and said they were just what she was looking for :)

Bring in your sentimental pieces today and let us help you pas them on to those who mean the most to you.

Disney's Precious Collections

noreply@blogger.com (The Klines) — Sat, 10 Apr 2010 14:33:00 +0000

We are so excited to have the cutest line around :)

We just received the Disney Precious Collection line. It's a line of quality Disney inspired jewelry for little girls (and the little girl in all of us). One of the neatest points of this collection is that it can be worn for years. All of the chains and bracelets are extendable, so they can grow with your daughter. Also, these pieces are more elegant than just a character's face. These are a bit more subtle, so your daughter can wear it even as a teenager without feeling like a little kid. Our employee Shannon, who is 20 years old just bought herself a pair of the earrings :)

The Precious Jewelry Collection is made up of two different lines. First is the Enchanting Gem Stones.

The Enchanting Gems is a high end line of 14 karat gold with diamonds and precious gems, such as pink sapphire. The signature piece is Cinderella's Pumpkin Coach (which we have in our store). These were created to "capture the essence of Disney magic and the eye of every girl, no matter what her age." The collection offers something for everyone, from Snow Whites Poison Apple to the timeless Glass Slipper from Cinderella.

The second line is the Enduring Enamels.

The Enduring Enamels Collection brings to life classic Disney characters such as Mickey and Minnie Mouse, Winnie the Pooh, Tinkerbell, and many others. This is the perfect choice for any occasion, be it a special birthday, bat-mitzvah, graduation, or just because.

Each piece from the Precious Jewelry Collection is made to the highest quality and comes with a 5 year guarantee. Also each piece comes in a beautiful Storybook Box.

Come bring your little princess to see this new line today! We are the closest retailer other than Disney World itself.

Endorsed By the Sheriff!

noreply@blogger.com (The Klines) — Tue, 05 Jan 2010 15:44:00 +0000

Yesterday, our friend Sheriff Jack Parker came by with a little gift for us. He had recently published an article in the local Hometown News about Self Defense, where he promotes use of various products for self defense, including TASER ® C2s. He was nice enough to bring us a copy of the article along with a little note to us that says:

"Marty, I appreciate you providing a place for citizens to get a Taser. Thank you for all you do for our citizens. Jack"
We are very proud to be helping to keep our customers safe - and certainly happy to have the approval of our Sheriff.

If you are looking for a way to keep yourself safe, consider a TASER ® C2 and come by for more information today!

A Special Piece For A Special Graduation

noreply@blogger.com (The Klines) — Sat, 12 Dec 2009 01:33:00 +0000

Some long time customers of ours came to us about a month ago with a gift idea for their daughter Shannon. They wanted something commemorate her milestone acheivement of receiving her Doctorate Degree from the University of South Florida, and we were proud to help out!

We looked through several pieces but finally found this pendant:

We decided that we could remove the stones and put little letters in their place to create this final product:
We are all very happy with how the piece came out, especially Shannon (we were told tears were involved). We are so proud of Shannon and all that she has accomplished and we are happy that we were included in this meaningful gift.

Congratulations Mary Blakely!

noreply@blogger.com (The Klines) — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 21:23:00 +0000

For those of you who attended our annual anniversary party this year - our biggest ever because it was our 25th anniversary - you know that we gave out tickets to everyone who came so they could enter in our drawings. This year, there were 4 main choices that you could enter to win: a pearl necklace and earring set, a Chloe seraphim angel, a Kline's watch, or our biggest prize of all - a 1/2 carat diamond heart pendant.

The way it worked - everyone was given 4 tickets each who entered the door and they could put them in all in one box or one in each box, etc according to what they wanted to win.

Congratulations to all of our winners, but most especially to Mary Blakely who won our 1/2 carat diamond heart pendant!

Thank you for all of those who attended, but more than that thank you all so much for making all of this possible. We wouldn't be celebrating this milestone if it wasn't for the support of our wonderful community!

Thank you all, and remember the date! We have our anniversary party every year during the week of November 24th, so come by next year for food, fun, and prizes!

Do You Like Antique Jewelry?

noreply@blogger.com (The Klines) — Sat, 10 Oct 2009 21:20:00 +0000

We at Kline's Jewelry have just officially opened our Etsy.com store!

For those of you who aren't familiar with Etsy, it is a website that is just for selling things that are A) vintage -more than 20 years old- or B) Handmade. When we saw that, we knew it was perfect for us!

Over the years we have acquired all kinds of costume jewelry, and we've never really had an effective way of putting it up for sale. So, along came Etsy and our problem was solved! We have always loved antique pieces, and now you can browse through our selection of vintage genuine and costume jewelry from the comfort of your own home.

Come and see Our Etsy Store. If there is anything listed that you are interested it, feel free to purchase through the website, or if you live local and don't want to pay shipping, come on by and ask to see Megan.

Cherie Dori Beads Have Arrived

noreply@blogger.com (The Klines) — Thu, 03 Sep 2009 16:31:00 +0000

Well, we have been talking it up for a while now, and we finally received our newest line of jewelry: Cherie O Love Links and Happy Beads!

This is a line of bracelets and charms that are compatible with many other brands of bracelets of its kind (ex. Pandora, Chamilia, Zedora, Sims Stars, etc.). We chose this line due to its quality and variety compared to other brands - as well as its price! All of the beads in the love links collection range from $27 - $54, which is quite a big price difference from Pandora beads.

The other line we received from Cheire Dori is called Happy Beads. You may have seen these if you have been on any cruises lately, as these are very popular in the islands. These are colorful resin beads with beautiful Swarovski Crystals. These come in a variety of vibrant colors and in 3 different sizes:

The Small Beads are $10 each, The Large Beads are $20 each and the Rondelles are $12 each.

One of the neatest things about these beads is that you are not limited to just bracelets to wear them on. This line offers a nice array of different types of earrings, necklaces, and rings that are all designed to let you choose which color beads you want on them and then you can change them yourself! These make great gifts for the woman who likes to match colors with her outfit everyday and they are priced so that they don't break the bank!

Birthstone of the Month: Pearl and Alexandrite

noreply@blogger.com (The Klines) — Mon, 01 Jun 2009 20:13:00 +0000

Come in this month to get 10 % off all pearl or alexandrite jewelry! We have a large selection of pearl strands, earrings, bracelets and more!

A little information on alexandrite: Originally found in 1834 in Russia and named for the tsar Alexander II, this stone changes color from a teal-green to a burgundy-purple depending on the type of light you are in. This stone is very rare, therefore natural Alexandrite with good color change is more expensive than diamond per carat. Today, several companies have isolated the mineral and have figured out how to it in laboratories. Lab-grown alexandrite is a lovely and much less expensive alternative that still gives you a beautiful color change.

Come let us show you our selections of these fabulous stones!

Is Your Jewelry Insured?

noreply@blogger.com (The Klines) — Mon, 18 May 2009 18:48:00 +0000

Jeweler's Mutual, the company that ensures us as a store, also offers personal jewelry insurance. 9 times out of 10, when we ask our customers if they have their jewelry insured, their answer is, "It's all taken care of through my homeowner's policy." We then always encourage that you go through a separate insurance company or get a separate policy. Too often we see customers who have relied on homeowner's insurance, only to find out that their policy only includes jewelry losses up to $1,000.00. Jeweler's Mutual is not connected with our store at all, we receive no pay or cut back for recommending them; we just want to make sure that your jewelry is well taken care of. You can even visit JewelersMutual.com to get a quote on insuring your pieces. It only takes minutes, but can save you your peace of mind as well as potentially thousands of dollars down the road. Make sure that your policy covers your pieces before it's too late.

Many insurance companies require a current written appraisal on your jewelry in order to insure you. Usually, the appraisal needs to have been done in the last 5 years. Also, most insurance companies now require a "retail replacement value" instead of the "appraised value". If your appraisal does not meet these requirements, or if you need to get an appraisal for the first time on your jewelry, just give us a call. We have a GIA certified apraiser on hand to make sure that your documents are correct and valid.

Bring your pieces in today to be appraised. You certainly will not regret it.
