Scott Kay Ring Review

DanielGordon — Wed, 14 Jul 2010 13:16:04 +0000

I want to try something different and offer a more personal perspective on one of my favorite pieces. I’m going to review the very first ring I fell in love with at the buy at our largest trade show JCK LasVegas, back when Scott Kay introduced and launched his fashion Sterling Silver line several years ago.

Scott Kay’s signature look for his Sterling Silver is the basket weave.

As you can plainly see from this front/side view the weave goes from where the center station meets the shoulder and then carries itself all the way down and around to the bottom of the shank from there. The center station is made up of pave’ diamonds weighing in just under a quarter carat at .24 carats total weight.

I really love the balance in this design, the way the diamonds protrude out slightly and then curve seamlessly over the edge, lifting just a touch above the continuity of the ring, gives it a classic, yet fashion forward look. The design manages to be impressive without being gaudy or ostentatious at all. I see this as a ring any woman could wear, something I often feel about a piece that is well designed and balanced. No matter what age, body type, eye color or height, this ring really has that versatility factor which I gravitate towards when it comes to designer jewelry.

One thing that really impresses me is that the quality and craftsmanship of Scott’s Sterling Silver line is exactly that of what goes into making a platinum ring.

When he very first launched this fashion line, Scott wanted to make absolute sure the Sterling Silver was manufactured to the highest possible standards, mirroring that of his well know already highly visible branded bridal line. Hold this ring in your hand for one second and you’ll immediately feel that he wasn’t kidding at all. The sensation of weight is something many like, anyone who puts this on their finger knows they are wearing a nicely made quality piece.

Here are a couple more pics including a closeup of the under gallery detail, you can really see the care he put into this design.

When I first bought the line in 2005 , this ring really caught my eye. I told Scott how much I just loved it and said to him I think this is going to be one of your best sellers. A year later I asked how this style was doing nation wide. I knew we were selling it very frequently, but wanted to see if it’s because I personally loved it, or it was doing well on it’s own merit. The rep replied, “it’s the number one seller in the line”. So as you can see it has a lot of sentimental meaning to me, in fact we still carry it and even at a cost of $735 the ring really does sell itself.

So that’s it! Let me know what you think of this kind of personal review, it is something I hope to do more of here on this blog.

I hope you enjoyed it and feedback, as always, is greatly appreciated!

Also…If you are interested, I wrote a personal post about Scott Kay, who I greatly respect, know as an industry leader, and consider to be one of my many jewelry industry mentors. You can find it here.

SGJ CheckIn Contest

admin — Fri, 26 Mar 2010 20:45:08 +0000

Contest Rules and Description

Part I

Starting today, Monday March 29th, 2010, you can enter to win our very first location game based Foursquare/Gowalla contest by checking into Samuel Gordon Jewelers using Gowalla or foursquare on your mobile device. Tweet it or Facebook it once. That’s it.

A winner will be picked at random from each one. One winner from Gowalla and One winner from Foursquare will receive a $1000 Gift Credit Each. In Store Use Only. No Purchase Necessary. Non-transferrable. Non-refundable. No Cash Value. Must be 18 to enter .

Part II

Now here’s where it gets fun. The person with the most total checkins at Samuel Gordon Jewelers Wins a $500 Gift Card as well.

Here’s how it works…

We will count the total checkins on both services and compare them to see who’s is a higher number. That’s the Foursqaure versus Gowalla aspect.

The most amount of Checkins on one of the two, whichever is higher wins. One winner, most check ins, foursqaure versus gowalla.

Please note: If there is a multi-way tie or anything of that nature , the winnings will be divided accordingly by number of people that equally tie whichever service wins this portion of the contest.

Start time. Today, Monday 29th runs through and up until the close of our business hours (which is 6PM CT) onThursday, April 15th, 2010. Winners announced within or less than one week of contest end.

In Conclusion…

Good Luck and we hope you enjoy the contest. We do know that check-ins can be done off premise and we do not have any control over that, but we love to see new faces and existing friends of SGJ, so please stop in physically if you possibly can. Not required but just a friendly request.

IMPORTANT: Also, this is an experimental contest, so please take in consideration things like if your account is private, or if your tweet or facebook post is not searchable for us to calculate results. Gowalla and foursquare are developing more everyday, but we must rely on external sources such as them and Facebook and Twitter to get final results. Samuel Gordon Jewelers will determine the winner and have final decision based on the data we have available to us at the time. In other words we’ll make it as fair as humanly possibly. So please be aware of this and enter the contest only if you enter understand this 100%.

Also, please note that if you do not have access to enter by these methods, just to be fair for everyone, we will take in store entry card fill outs. Please stop by and either leave your business card or a written out contact name & info and leave it at the front guard station.

Please take a moment and Follow Us on Twitter Follow us @SamuelGordons

or Fan Us on Facebook if you haven’t already yet.

We keep up to date new fresh content on both sites all the time

Thanks Very Much! And Once Again. Best of Luck!

Oh, and PS. if you were the least bit curious…Daniel Gordon, our company President is definitely not eligible to win
