• 4:39
  SPEAKER_03: Oh, nice.
• 4:40
  SPEAKER_03: Lots of lots of nice pieces.
• 4:43
  SPEAKER_00: So how do you select what items are part of the sale?
• 4:47
  SPEAKER_03: You know, that's a question for our inventory buyer, honestly.
• 4:50
  SPEAKER_03: Um, so a lot of them, though, we've had for a little bit.
• 4:53
  SPEAKER_03: We've been sitting on them, right?
• 4:54
  SPEAKER_03: We need to clear them out of the store, make way for new inventory for the holiday season.
• 4:58
  SPEAKER_03: But she has selected some new pieces just for the sale as well.
• 5:02
  SPEAKER_03: So even if you've come in, browsed everything, there's still maybe some new items that are in the sale and great deals too.
• 5:09
  SPEAKER_03: You know, the price of gold has skyrocketed over the last year.
• 5:12
  SPEAKER_03: Um, a lot of jewelers have gone back, they've re-evaluated everything in their cases.
• 5:17
  SPEAKER_03: We have not done that.
• 5:19
  SPEAKER_03: So you guys are getting like a deal on top of another deal.
• 5:22
  SPEAKER_03: The value of these pieces are great.
• 5:25
  SPEAKER_02: So what in your sale, what do you know just in general, what do you always see flying out the door?
• 5:30
  SPEAKER_02: If you have a big sale like this, yes.
• 5:32
  SPEAKER_02: Is it like engagement rings here?
• 5:34
  SPEAKER_03: Rings.
• 5:34
  SPEAKER_03: Yes.
• 5:35
  SPEAKER_03: It's a perfect time to get engaged.
• 5:36
  SPEAKER_03: We have a lot of um set diamond rings already, but also we have loose diamonds under the case as well for sale at 50% off.
• 5:44
  SPEAKER_03: So if you are looking to get engaged, come on in.
• 5:46
  SPEAKER_03: Um, lots of loose natural diamonds.
• 5:49
  SPEAKER_00: And you guys have an amazing uh well, I don't know what his official title is, but the guy that sets the diamonds, what's his name?
• 5:56
  SPEAKER_00: Gemologist.
• 5:57
  SPEAKER_03: Yes, we do.
• 5:58
  SPEAKER_00: Todd.
• 5:58
  SPEAKER_00: Todd, gemologist.
• 6:00
  SPEAKER_00: I knew that.
• 6:01
  SPEAKER_00: But if you have, let's say, a setting from an heirloom and you just need some of the bling to put in, Todd can do that stuff, right?
• 6:08
  SPEAKER_03: Yes.
• 6:09
  SPEAKER_03: So Todd will actually hand select all of our diamonds, um, which is so nice because you know, there's all these different grading institutes when it comes to diamonds.
• 6:18
  SPEAKER_03: Um, we love that GIA certification.
• 6:20
  SPEAKER_03: Todd was trained at GIA as well as himself.
• 6:24
  SPEAKER_00: He's a stud.
• 6:24
  SPEAKER_03: Yes, he's of a gemologist.
• 6:27
  SPEAKER_03: Great.
• 6:27
  SPEAKER_03: And so whenever we get a diamond in from any vendor, he actually goes through and regrades everything so you know exactly what you're getting, which is incredible.
• 6:37
  SPEAKER_03: That's a lot of diamonds.
• 6:38
  SPEAKER_03: A lot of diamonds.
• 6:39
  SPEAKER_03: He sees a lot.
• 6:40
  SPEAKER_03: Okay, a lot of gemstones, too.
• 6:41
  SPEAKER_00: You go to the wit store, Todd's got this awesome little spot.
• 6:44
  SPEAKER_00: Nestle right back in the corner, and you can see the big window where he's at.
• 6:48
  SPEAKER_00: And he's always doing something I can never do.
• 6:51
  SPEAKER_00: Wow.
• 6:51
  SPEAKER_00: Because my hands shake.
• 6:52
  SPEAKER_00: I can't.
• 6:52
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I couldn't.
• 6:53
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 6:53
  SPEAKER_02: So when you do you uh have uh lab-grown diamonds?
• 6:58
  SPEAKER_03: We do have lab grown diamonds.
• 6:59
  SPEAKER_02: Tell me the difference between the if there is one.
• 7:02
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, no, there is.
• 7:03
  SPEAKER_03: Um, it's crazy.
• 7:04
  SPEAKER_03: So lab grown diamonds came out on the market a couple years ago.
• 7:08
  SPEAKER_03: Um, for us jewelers, you know, at that time it it was only about maybe a few thousand dollars less than the natural counterpart.
• 7:15
  SPEAKER_03: So to us, we're we're like, okay, these are of value.
• 7:18
  SPEAKER_03: You know, um, we knew at some point that that value would drop, right?
• 7:22
  SPEAKER_03: As people got their hands on this technology and started creating more and more, obviously the value is going to decrease.
• 7:27
  SPEAKER_03: So over the last few years, there's been a huge drop in the overall value of these natural or of these lab-grown diamonds.
• 7:33
  SPEAKER_03: Um, and so you can get your hands on them pretty at a pretty affordable price.
• 7:38
  SPEAKER_02: And you're not talking about quality, you're talking about uh cost.
• 7:41
  SPEAKER_02: Yes.
• 7:41
  SPEAKER_02: Right, okay.
• 7:43
  SPEAKER_03: Um, you know, they are created in a lab, right?
• 7:45
  SPEAKER_03: They're created in factories.
• 7:46
  SPEAKER_03: And so that's the biggest difference when you're thinking about natural diamonds versus lab-grown diamonds.
• 7:51
  SPEAKER_03: I'm a huge nerd on this.
• 7:52
  SPEAKER_03: Um, I went to GIA school.
• 7:54
  SPEAKER_03: I actually studied there for three years.
• 7:55
  SPEAKER_00: GIA Gemologist Institute of America?
• 7:58
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 7:58
  SPEAKER_03: Wow.
• 8:00
  SPEAKER_03: Nailed it.
• 8:01
  SPEAKER_03: I uh was trained uh at the Carlsbad campus and also did distance education through that.
• 8:06
  SPEAKER_03: I got my certification actually last October, um, right before our last half-off sale.
• 8:10
  SPEAKER_00: Um Carlsbad, New Mexico?
• 8:12
  SPEAKER_03: Uh California.
• 8:13
  SPEAKER_03: California.
• 8:14
  SPEAKER_03: Yes.
• 8:14
  SPEAKER_03: So I'm a huge nerd when it comes to gems, natural diamonds.
• 8:18
  SPEAKER_03: I will always influence somebody to buy a natural diamond.
• 8:22
  SPEAKER_03: I believe in them.
• 8:23
  SPEAKER_03: Um, you know, I think a lot of times people are like, oh, well, the markup has to be astronomical on these natural diamonds, and it's false.
• 8:30
  SPEAKER_03: It's actually the reverse.
• 8:31
  SPEAKER_03: Um, and so we just believe fullheartedly in natural diamonds.
• 8:35
  SPEAKER_00: Um so what you're saying is it is I don't want to use the word cheaper, but it's l it's less costly to manufacture a diamond.
• 8:44
  SPEAKER_00: And then the markup or the margin when it goes to market is a lot larger than it is if you were to buy a natural diamond.
• 8:51
  SPEAKER_03: Yes.
• 8:51
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 8:52
  SPEAKER_03: I mean, Mother Nature is creating natural diamonds, right?
• 8:54
  SPEAKER_03: Right.
• 8:55
  SPEAKER_03: They're older than a dinosaur, which is crazy to think about.
• 8:58
  SPEAKER_03: Um, but you know, high heat, high pressure over millions of years are creating.
• 9:03
  SPEAKER_03: It sounds like I can become diamonds someday.
• 9:06
  SPEAKER_03: Oh, Jesus.
• 9:07
  SPEAKER_03: But you know, these lap grown diamonds are created in less than 24 hours.
• 9:11
  SPEAKER_03: Um, I think there's also a lot of misinformation when it comes to lab-grown diamonds made being more um, I guess, better for the environment, you know.
• 9:21
  SPEAKER_03: Uh, and that's actually not the case.
• 9:23
  SPEAKER_03: Right.
• 9:24
  SPEAKER_03: They're putting off more CO2 emissions than natural diamonds.
• 9:27
  SPEAKER_03: Uh, when it comes to natural diamond mining, you know, we have to restore a natural diamond mine within five years of a of a diamond mine closing.
• 9:34
  SPEAKER_03: Um, whereas with these lab ground factories, there's there's nothing in place for that.
• 9:38
  SPEAKER_03: No regulation.
• 9:39
  SPEAKER_03: Shut down a factory and just move on.
• 9:41
  SPEAKER_03: But what happens to all that land?
• 9:42
  SPEAKER_01: Right.
• 9:43
  SPEAKER_03: So a lot of things, you know, there's pros and cons.
• 9:46
  SPEAKER_03: Pros and cons to both, you know, we'll happily sell you a natural or a lab ground.
• 9:50
  SPEAKER_03: Um but yeah, the value up front you're saving on lab ground is great.
• 9:55
  SPEAKER_03: It's just in the future, it it the value is not gonna hold.
• 9:59
  SPEAKER_03: It's not gonna be there.
• 10:00
  SPEAKER_00: So yeah.
• 10:01
  SPEAKER_00: Does your uncle still do the stuff with jewelry?
• 10:03
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, yes.
• 10:04
  SPEAKER_00: Like he gets into the biz and uh Yes, yeah.
• 10:07
  SPEAKER_00: I can't remember what exactly he did, but I know I used to dabble every once in a while.
• 10:10
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, so DJ uh is my uncle.
• 10:13
  SPEAKER_03: He's still very much involved in the business.
• 10:15
  SPEAKER_03: He's at the Davenport location.
• 10:17
  SPEAKER_00: Um there's another uncle that does some stuff too.

• 10:32
  SPEAKER_03: Absolutely.

  SPEAKER_03: We love custom.
• 10:35
  SPEAKER_03: It's one of the areas that I feel like we really thrive in.
• 10:37
  SPEAKER_00: It's gotta be fun.
• 10:38
  SPEAKER_03: Yes, it's so fun.
• 10:39
  SPEAKER_03: Um, so whether you're wanting to do a brand new piece, right?
• 10:42
  SPEAKER_03: Maybe you saw something on Pinterest and you're like, oh, I love this, but I want to make this tweak or that tweak.
• 10:46
  SPEAKER_03: Uh, we can do that.
• 10:47
  SPEAKER_03: If you want to create something from uh from scratch, we have talented artists that can easily sketch something up for you.
• 10:53
  SPEAKER_03: Um, and we get CAD designs back in less than 24 hours generally.
• 10:57
  SPEAKER_03: So you can get a full 3D model of what it's going to look like.
• 11:00
  SPEAKER_03: We can get the wax in so you can see that in person.
• 11:03
  SPEAKER_00: I don't even know what that is.
• 11:04
  SPEAKER_03: Waxin'?
• 11:05
  SPEAKER_03: Wax, a wax model of your piece.
• 11:08
  SPEAKER_03: So we can actually get that in so you know exactly what it's going to look like, how it's going to fit on your hand or how it's going to lay on your neck before we go through with the the final production.
• 11:17
  SPEAKER_00: I didn't even know that was an option.
• 11:19
  SPEAKER_03: Wild.
• 11:20
  SPEAKER_03: Wow.
• 11:20
  SPEAKER_02: Wow.
• 11:21
  SPEAKER_02: It's very cool.
• 11:22
  SPEAKER_00: So when I come in, uh, I'm assuming both locations, Dwitt and Davenport.
• 11:26
  SPEAKER_03: Yep.
• 11:26
  SPEAKER_00: I come in, I want to make a custom piece.
• 11:29
  SPEAKER_00: What do I do?
• 11:30
  SPEAKER_00: Sit at a computer?
• 11:31
  SPEAKER_00: How does that work?
• 11:31
  SPEAKER_03: So you'll just sit down with one of our sales members.
• 11:34
  SPEAKER_03: Um, they'll kind of help go through the entire process, what you're looking for.
• 11:38
  SPEAKER_03: If there's any symbolism, I think that's one of the coolest pieces on custom, right?
• 11:41
  SPEAKER_03: Is you can add your own symbolic pieces or symbolic aspects to your piece.
• 11:46
  SPEAKER_03: Um, they will go over, you know, diamonds, gemstones that you want in it.
• 11:50
  SPEAKER_03: We'll generally try and source those first.
• 11:53
  SPEAKER_03: We'll get the measurements of all those stones, and then we'll go through um actually submitting it, getting the CAD, the wax, and CAD computer aided design.
• 12:04
  SPEAKER_03: Yep.
• 12:05
  SPEAKER_03: And it takes about four to six weeks for a full custom piece.
• 12:07
  SPEAKER_03: So not too long.
• 12:08
  SPEAKER_02: Are people moving away from, or maybe not moving away, but including and or substituting uh gemstones for diamonds and engagement rings?
• 12:16
  SPEAKER_02: I've kind of heard that that's sort of a style.
• 12:18
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, gemstones are really popular.
• 12:20
  SPEAKER_03: A lot of rubies, a lot of sapphires, emeralds, we're seeing too.
• 12:25
  SPEAKER_00: So I met a young lady the other day, and she her uh ring, it was an engagement ring, but it was a black diamond.
• 12:32
  SPEAKER_02: Yes, yes.
• 12:33
  SPEAKER_02: I've seen those too.
• 12:34
  SPEAKER_00: That was interesting to see.
• 12:35
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 12:36
  SPEAKER_00: You got a lot of people coming in wanting the colors.
• 12:38
  SPEAKER_03: Yes.
• 12:38
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 12:39
  SPEAKER_00: Not the traditional bling.
• 12:41
  SPEAKER_03: You want something a little unique.
• 12:42
  SPEAKER_03: And we're also seeing even if they want to go with the diamond route, they're just setting it in a different way.
• 12:47
  SPEAKER_03: So instead of, you know, up and down, we're gonna set it more of an east to west.
• 12:51
  SPEAKER_03: So if you had an elongated stone, we're now tilting it on the hand.
• 12:54
  SPEAKER_03: So rather than elongated on our finger, we're going across, which is super neat.
• 12:57
  SPEAKER_03: Or they're offsetting it and they're just tilting it just a little bit to be super different.
• 13:02
  SPEAKER_03: So we're seeing a lot of 90s styles come back too.
• 13:05
  SPEAKER_03: The 90s.
• 13:06
  SPEAKER_03: That's my question.
• 13:07
  SPEAKER_03: Throwback Jenny.
• 13:08
  SPEAKER_03: Throwback vintage, which I'm here for.
• 13:10
  SPEAKER_03: I love all the thick gold designs, the bubble, the fluted details.
• 13:17
  SPEAKER_03: I mean, even like the knot jewelry, right, that your grandmother used to wear that looked like a ball of yarn on your ears.
• 13:22
  SPEAKER_03: Yes.
• 13:23
  SPEAKER_03: That's coming back.
• 13:23
  SPEAKER_02: You're kidding.
• 13:24
  SPEAKER_03: No, and I love it.
• 13:25
  SPEAKER_02: Hey, did Taylor Swift have any, did her diamond ring have any influence on what you're seeing now?
• 13:31
  SPEAKER_02: Yes.
• 13:31
  SPEAKER_02: A hon or I don't even know what it looked like.
• 13:33
  SPEAKER_00: What was it?

  SPEAKER_02: Football?
• 13:34
  SPEAKER_03: And a football.
• 13:36
  SPEAKER_03: Beautiful design with all this filigree and yellow gold.
• 13:40
  SPEAKER_03: Obviously, she had a very large, I can't even remember what the size of her huge hairway was.
• 13:45
  SPEAKER_03: It's just massive.
• 13:46
  SPEAKER_00: Well, I hope she paid for it.
• 13:48
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 13:49
  SPEAKER_00: She's I hope they signed a prenup too.
• 13:51
  SPEAKER_03: Right, right.
• 13:52
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, you better get that ring back.
• 13:55
  SPEAKER_02: Giant ring.
• 13:56
  SPEAKER_02: Yes.
• 13:56
  SPEAKER_03: Crazy.
• 13:57
  SPEAKER_03: But yes, that has definitely influenced uh the market as well.
• 14:00
  SPEAKER_03: What's the trend?
• 14:02
  SPEAKER_02: You know, every so often it changes, and then there's white gold or silver, then there's gold, and there what's it coming around to in style?
• 14:09
  SPEAKER_03: Still yellow gold.
• 14:10
  SPEAKER_03: Really?
• 14:12
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 14:13
  SPEAKER_03: Um, so yellow gold is still a majority of what we're we're seeing asked for, but I think people are still layering it with their white gold.
• 14:20
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, I like to mix it up.
• 14:21
  SPEAKER_03: I have a white gold pair of mixed metals?
• 14:24

  SPEAKER_00: You couldn't do that if you're like a black and brown.
• 14:30
  SPEAKER_00: You didn't have to.
• 14:31
  SPEAKER_00: If you were wearing a suit and you had uh you know a silver belt buckle, yes, you didn't rock the gold jewelry.
• 14:36
  SPEAKER_00: You had to had to match.
• 14:38
  SPEAKER_03: Now you do it and you just look 10 times cooler.
• 14:40

• 20:39
  SPEAKER_00: Yes.
• 20:39
  SPEAKER_00: But knowing me, like my ADHD, I would forget where the hell I put it, and it would be like in a in like a nutshell somewhere.
• 20:48
  SPEAKER_00: You know, I don't know what I would do with it.
• 20:50
  SPEAKER_03: That's yeah, that's interesting.
• 20:52
  SPEAKER_03: I'm not quite sure.
• 20:54
  SPEAKER_03: Um, I feel like anytime though somebody puts it in food, that just stresses me out.
• 21:00
  SPEAKER_03: Or like in the bottom of a champagne glass.
• 21:02
  SPEAKER_03: Like I what if you consume it?
• 21:04
  SPEAKER_03: Exactly.
• 21:05
  SPEAKER_03: You know what happens then.

  SPEAKER_00: People try to get creative though.

  SPEAKER_00: What I think's incredibly cute these days is the homecoming requests.
• 21:20
  SPEAKER_00: Like you can't just be like, hey, homecoming, you, me, we're going.
• 21:25
  SPEAKER_00: You have to make a sign now.
• 21:26
  SPEAKER_00: It has to have a little funky saying on it.

• 21:50
  SPEAKER_03: Had no idea, but the amount of detail that they went through to make sure this proposal went according to plan with a photographer from Alaska.
• 22:00
  SPEAKER_03: Mean it was intense.

  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 22:01
  SPEAKER_03: And I I mean they had a GPS coordinate of where to meet.
• 22:04
  SPEAKER_03: Like you clearly don't know of any destiny a GPS coordinate, and it all worked out according to plan.
• 22:09
  SPEAKER_03: And it was beautiful.
• 22:10
  SPEAKER_00: Mine would be a flat boat out in the pits in the Mississippi.
• 22:14
  SPEAKER_00: That's what I would do.
• 22:15
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 22:16
  SPEAKER_00: Like a little John boat that stinks.
• 22:19
  SPEAKER_00: Diesel.
