What to do with the jewelry you no longer wear?
As you may know, Gleim the Jeweler has been in the
business of buying and selling estate jewelry for many
decades. It has always provided us with a way to
acquire interesting and unusual items of jewelry, as
well as providing our clients with a way to find new
homes for pieces they no longer wear. If, like many of
our clients, you have inherited jewelry which you will
never wear, bring it in to any of our stores. We will sit
down with you, review various options, such as
consignment, trade, or outright sale, make
suggestions relating to remodeling or restyling jewelry
where appropriate, and give you the information you
need to make the best decision. There are usually
more elements to that decision than just how much
you might receive for your jewelry, and we can help
you evaluate them. Estate jewelry has become big
business these days, and you see many kinds of
companies offering to buy. Why not work with a locally-
owned company in which one of us can sit down with
you and spend the time needed to ensure you are
comfortable in your decision?
| June Birthstone - Pearl |
 |
|
Pearl, that beautiful, historic gem, is June's
birthstone. Long treasured by royalty, pearls are also
a wardrobe basic, often serving as a girl's first "real"
piece of jewelry. Pearls are also wonderful for those
grown-up girls who can appreciate some of the
multitude of colors we see in South Sea pearls.
Pictured here you see a collection of both South Sea
and Japanese cultured pearls, any one of which can
be worn on a daily basis. Come in to any of our stores
to learn about pearls and appreciate their beauty!

| Chocolate, Anyone? |
|
|
What's the newest color in South Sea pearls?
Chocolate! It is a beautiful, rich bronzy color which will
compliment a wide variety of fashions. Although the
process for obtaining this color is proprietary, it
generally involves treatment of Tahitian pearls. It is a
permanent color change, and results in some lovely
necklaces. In addition to the chocolate strands, we
have white and multicolored South Sea necklaces in
stock right now. Stop by to take a look! South Sea
pearls are extremely versatile, easily transitioning
from the office to an evening out.

| Los Altos Village Farmer's Market |
|
|
Los Altos Village has launched the Thursday evening
Farmer's Market, offering a wide array of fresh locally-
produced flowers, fruits and vegetables. It has
become a Los Altos tradition.
And here's another reason to stop by every Thursday...
our Los Altos store is joining in the fun not only by
remaining open for business until 7 each Thursday,
but also by hosting live music in front of our store.
What better way to enjoy the village atmosphere by
creating your own tradition?
Buy some fresh produce, enjoy some music, and stop
for dinner at one of our
neighboring restaurants.

Diamond earstuds from the Gleim Collection |
|
|
|
What's a jewelry wardrobe basic? Diamond
earstuds. These are always appropriate for any
occasion, any outfit, or any age. A petite pair makes a
wonderful gift to mark a coming of age, whether 13 or
16. Larger earstuds for an 18th or 21st birthday will
provide a lifelong memory, and perhaps a pair of
earrings to pass down to future generations.
Often, women will "trade up" their diamond earrings
over the years, getting successively larger pairs as
their careers and lifestyles change. Sentimental
about that first pair? Keep them to set on either side
of a birthstone for a daughter or granddaughter, while
getting a larger pair of earstuds for yourself. We can
help you determine which is the best size and quality
for your lifestyle.
Pictured here is a pair from our Gleim Collection, in 3-
prong platinum settings designed to show off the
diamonds to the maximum advantage.
Come in to see our extensive selection at any one of
our three stores.
Pictured here, you see logos of two well-known
organizations: Gamble Garden Center, and Castilleja
School. Many of our clients may not realize that we
can produce lapel pins, charms, or any other kind of
jewelry incorporating the logo of your own
organization. These two examples happen to be in
14K gold, but they can be made of sterling silver or
gold overlay as well. We can even make these using
enamel accents. Here are some of the organizations
for whom we have made such recognition items: Palo
Alto Centennial, Trees for El Camino, the Cyberays,
Avenidas, and Peninsula Volunteers. Contact us if
you would like to find out more:
