ここで一目惚れのアンティークウォッチを買った。…read more その1週間前に メキシコ国境の街でカルティエの時計をなくしていた。 30代終わりに頑張ったご褒美に 新宿伊勢丹で手に入れたベニュワール。 当時82万か87万だったと思う。 もうぶっ倒れそうなショックだった。 幸い、 子供時分、母の教育は物をなくした時は、 変わりに無くなってくれたんだと思いなさい。 今考えると超自己中、超ポジティブ。 これに救われた。 そんな少し落ち込んでいた1週間後に、 旅先のニューオリンズでこの時計(以下カノジョ)に出会った。 若い頃から夫にまるで男だと言われる。 運命を感じたら即決断。 うかうかしてらんない。 商品ケースの中でカノジョはひときわ輝いていた。 すぐに出してもらい身につけた。 するとたちまち元気が湧いてきた。 即決購入した4ヶ月後 ハリケーンカトリーナが街を襲った。 店の通りの無惨な姿が何度もテレビで流れた。 壊滅的、かつ暴動も相まって無法地帯となっていた。 我が家にやって来たカノジョは生き延びた。 私と一緒に生きている。 手巻き時計。今も変わらずゆっくりネジを廻すと、 心臓を打つ音を聴かせてくれる。(きちんと動く) 説明してくれた若い女性の笑顔も素敵だった。 自分の耳にカノジョを当てて、 ねぇ聴いて、心臓の音がするわよ。 と今度は私の耳に持ってきて聞かせた。 まわす時はゆっくり優しくね。 と何度かやって見せてくれた。 カノジョが何十年生きているのか。 ブランドが何かも不明。 アールデコから推定年齢100年位？ 見える場所に刻印も無い。 聞きもしなかったと思う。 値段は＄720。 とにかく一目惚れだった。 私達、出会えてよかったねと今も声をかける。 互いに運命の出会いだったんだと思う。 昨夜久しぶりにネジを巻いて身につけた。 朝もしっかり動いてる。 うーん惚れ惚れ。 自己満足。 聞く、聴く、 回す、廻す、 それとも巻く？ どう違うんだっけ？ 調べてみよう。

The jeweler came from the back and I began to apprehensively explain the issues with the ring... Having talked to another jeweler separate from the one who did the shoddy work, I was worried this meet would end in more bad news. Quite the opposite. I do not know the jewelers name - but I can only describe what transpired as a godsend. He knew exactly what was wrong, what had been done wrong, and even mentioned additional things that needed to be fixed that I had not yet voiced. I just picked my beautifully, perfectly restored ring yesterday and I cannot begin to describe the joy of the experience - knowing the level of professionalism and pride this establishment takes in their work. Absolutely amazing - I will go to Salles first for any jewelry needs. Hands down. Without question.

Oh, hello there locally owned jewelry shop of my dreams…read more I received a beautiful watch as a gift recently and it needed a few links removed to fit just right. I called Champange Jewelers since they are very close to my workplace and also locally owned. I love supporting local businesses whenever I can. I was informed they could remove links for around $13 and could do it while I waited. Perfect, right? Here's what they didn't tell me. Removing links takes just long enough for you to browse (and by browse I mean gasp) and ohh and ahh (and by ohh and ahh I mean nearly faint) at all the pretty little things under the glass here. I had no idea I NEEDED an aquamarine ring that will cost me upwards of $7000 but I do now. I really wish I hadn't seen those diamond earrings that I'm putting on my wish list as we speak, but I did and it's on now, baby. I was barely able to drag myself out of here once my links were removed...which I might add were perfectly done. P.S. Sorry about the drool on your cases you had to clean up when I finally did go.

Very pleased with my experience and would not hesitate to recommend their customer service...and their jewelry...exquisite!! Rarely have I seen such quality and creative pieces - and I'm a vintage jewelry collector!! Highly recommend that you walk in and look around. Champagne Jewelers has a no-pressure approach and a beautiful showroom with everything from High School Grad rings that I would be proud to wear, to the most delicate pearl and gemstone sets. Breathtaking designs!
