Possible
addition to price of certain designs |
For age-related reasons, there
is certain work that I can no longer do physically or safely.
Examples are standard industry techniques such as casting, special
laser-soldering, intricate stone-setting, and techniques requiring
great hand-strength.
For these jobs I employ and pay a very talented associate who
charges moderate prices for me and does excellent work. Customers
are billed exactly what I pay him and are provided a copy of
his invoice.
If I did not work this way, I would no longer be able to make
jewelry for anybody. However, I still create the wax models from
my original molds and refine them by hand, and I still personally
do the final hand-finishing of the cast pieces. These are the
steps that make your jewelry look exactly as it did when I made
it during my fifty years in Key West.
Best regards,
Whitfield

Please let us know that you
have placed an order
so we can watch for it. You can also ask a questiom |
A. DISCOUNTS: In fairness to all of our customers
-- be they rich, poor, friends or relatives -- we do not offer
individual discounts. Our policy is to make the prices of our
unique original designs as fair as possible so that we can survive
as a business, and we stick to those prices. This has been our
strict policy for over forty years. Everybody pays the same.
Nobody is going to get a better price than you.
B. DIAMONDS: We guarantee our diamonds to be genuine natural
material of fine quality. They are full cut (53 facets), clarity
grade SI1 or better, color range G-H-I or better.
Diamond weights are stated in this catalog in hundredths of a
carat, also known as "points". One carat is equal to
100 points. A 3-point diamond would be described as (.03) and
would weigh 3/100 of a carat. When there are several diamonds
in a piece, the weight is expressed as total weight (TW). Example:
(.06TW) means six points total weight (6/100 carat).
C. COLORED STONES: We guarantee that all of our precious and
semiprecious stones are genuine material, not synthetic, and
are stones of fine quality. The color of our black South Seas
cultured pearls is completely natural, not dyed or treated in
any way.
The final permanent color of virtually 100% of all genuine gemstones
on the market today is the result of standard and accepted industry
treatment practices which give the customer stones that have
purer color, more durability, less visible imperfections and
inclusions, and less likelihood of fading. The color is permanent
unless the stone is heated with a torch, in which case the color
of any stone could be affected. All blue topaz generally available
is exposed to gamma rays to produce its beautiful, permanent
blue color. There is no residual radiation whatsoever
Except in the case of large, expensive gemstones, these standard
industry practices have minimal effect on value. For fine rubies,
emeralds, and sapphires, the price may be only as much as 10%
higher for completely untreated stones. A copy of the proposed
Federal Trade Commission Disclosure guidelines is available on
request.
D. GOLD AND SILVER: We guarantee our 14K, 18K, 22K, and 24K gold
to be full quality plumb gold. Our silver is full quality Sterling
Silver.
HOW TO MEASURE FOR RINGS AND BRACELETS
A. RINGS: Methods such as using a string, or tape measure,
or strip of paper are not accurate.
If you are buying a ring for somebody and want it to be a surprise
and don't know the size, try this: Get one of the rings that
they wear and slide it as far as it will go on any one of your
fingers (it doesn't have to go all the way). Draw a line on your
finger with a ball-point pen on the wrist side of the ring. Go
to a jeweler and see which size of one of his ring-sizer rings
fits up to the line in the same place. That's the size to order.
If you don't want to go to a jeweler, we have a set of plastic
ring sizers available for $5.00 including postage. These are
plastic rings in a graduated set with the ring sizes marked on
them. They are very accurate. It will take about a week to get
a set to you.
In judging if a size is right, here are some suggestions: It
is normal for a ring to feel snug, even tight, going over the
knuckle. It is how it feels once it is on that counts. Is there
any sensation of pressure? Do you feel aware of it? If so, the
size you should order should probably should be a quarter or
half-size larger. Remember: in warm weather fingers tend to swell
a bit. The opposite in cold weather. And if your hands are wet,
a ring can slip off. Try wetting your hands and see if the ring-sizer
ring slips off too easily.
G. BRACELETS: Most people feel most comfortable with a bracelet
7 inches to 7-1/4 inches long (described as our "standard
size") This size hangs over the upper part of the hand and
is usually the most attractive.
If you are not sure what size bracelet you wear, check for size
by using a small piece of heavy cord 1/8 inch in diameter. (A
string or a piece of paper will give an incorrect size). Cut
it to fit end to end.
Tape the ends together on your wrist to see how it feels. Then
measure it and order the closest available size. If your bracelet
doesn't fit properly, return it and we'll remove or add links
and bill or credit you accordingly.
