I offered it entire selection of rings, and I chose the particular model that I put in the picture just because I like the way it looked and it's so comfortable. I don't even know that I have it on.

I took my…read morejewelry and my design to G B Heron on Dec 7, 2018, and was told I could expect a phone call in a couple of weeks to come in and review their design. I told them I wasn't in a hurry. That was my mistake. After Christmas I stopped at the store and was told they hadn't had an opportunity to work on my order because they were so busy with orders for wedding rings, but I would hear from them the next week. I waited two weeks and called and was told again they hadn't started on my order and would call the next week. Two more weeks passed without any word from them so I went to the store. After seven weeks, they were apologetic but still hadn't looked at my order so I took my jewelry back and went somewhere else.

Lorie listened to me and helped me to select the most perfect piece! I wear it everyday and have never once regretted my purchase. I also found the most unique harp charm I have ever seen.

It turns out that the good stuff is hidden in the store. Case after case of antique diamond and gemstone jewelry! We may need to visit Guilford and Co. every time I'm in town! I was surprised at how large this store is. The pieces are displayed well, grouped by era as well as stone type, as far as I could tell. I also couldn't believe how many Edwardian and Art Deco pieces they had on site. I mostly browsed the gemstone rings, but I'd imagine that this would also be a great place to purchase a piece with dreamy old cut diamonds! They also have a GIA GG on-site who is available to answer more detailed questions. Some standouts -- -a warm L/M round cut diamond in a glowing emerald halo with absolutely GORGEOUS tiny milgrain detail on the bezel -an intricate and HUGE Art Deco diamond brooch/pendant that I didn't dare try on -a high carat yellow gold ring set w/ a rich, dark amethyst cab -a fireball of an orange sapphire set in a halo ring -a blue moonstone ring set in an angular diamond and filigree halo -several Edwardian diamond rings in the central case, including what looked like a three-stone of old (mine?) cut diamonds in a filigree setting -and.... Well, I could go on and on, but I don't imagine anyone is actually still reading this. :) I should also mention that it is a very comfortable, low pressure environment to browse in. The SA was more than happy to dart from case to case, and even suggested different items for me to try on. She was friendly, informed, and very easy to get along with -- No fake nicety or condescension here. I actually told her directly that I'd used up all my "spending points" on jewelry this month, but she just kindly asked what I'd used them on and then continued letting me try on the pretties. Can't wait to make a return visit. I'm already (secretly, shhh) plotting another trip to St. Michaels.

Over the years I collected jewelry pieces but as I've become "seasoned" I realized the pieces were outdated and needed refreshing. Who do I call? Melissa at Chesapeake Jewelers whom I've known for many years through boating! Melissa took my diamond ring piece and redesigned and created a masterpiece for a rook piercing! I couldn't be more pleased with the skills and craftsmanship of her and her goldsmith. I have a few more pieces she is designing and will post but for now check out this gorgeous piece. The stones sparkle more in the rook earring than in the original ring setting! I'm in awe! Thank you so much Chesapeake Jewelers.

Her late husband Jonathan Bailey, a Master goldsmith and award winning designer introduced Melissa to the world of Jewelry design and manufacturing. Together, Melissa & Jonathon expanded their Jewelry repair shop as they began creating what they called the "Chesapeake Collection".

Together they designed, waxed, molded and created several pieces including Skipjacks, fish, waterfowl, oysters, workboats and most importantly, Crabs.
