New Year Witchery

What a year! Nicholson's Jewellers' website is just a year old and I can now bore for England on google ranking, search engine optimisation, social networking and html colour codes. But, seriously, I've had a wonderful time meeting new people via the website, courses I've attended and new customers visiting the shop in Ilkley after viewing the website.

And, to round off 2009, today I've met a witch - yes, honestly. Well, at least a witch's grand-daughter - though I'm convinced she has witchy potential too. She told me all about her opal ring changing colour depending on her mood. Now, of course, as a jeweller I have heard this before but have never actually seen it or had anyone own up to it. I still haven't seen the colour change as Mrs. Witch was apparently calm and friendly today and the opal remained a lovely bluey/green but she told me, and her husband attests to this, the opal becomes pinkish when she's roused (aroused?) - it didn't seem polite to enquire further. So impressed was I with this tale, and thinking it only fair to give the old OH a bit of notice with my mood swings (30 years married and he still has to ask?), I considered getting an opal ring for myself - something big and flashy with a diamond or two thrown in. Then I remembered Lady Penelope and her article on unlucky opals http://nicholsons-jewellers.blogspot.com/2009/11/opals-are-girls-worst-friend.html Read it and you'll see what the problem is. Of course, don't let that put you off but after such a great year I don't want to risk it. After all, despite what others might say - I'm not a witch. Although, there is something about witches toes - but that's a story for another day.

I'll sign off 2009 wishing all our friends and customers a very Happy and Healthy New Year.

SPINNING JEWELRY UK: THE LATEST CRAZE TO HIT THE UK

SPINNING JEWELRY UK: THE LATEST CRAZE TO HIT THE UK

Fresh from those wonderful Danish Designers, Spinning Jewelry UK arrived at Nicholsons Jewellers recently and has already caused a stir in those who appreciate Scandinavian designs, appearing to be quite popular with the Lovelinks Lovers - another Danish Design. For those who have yet to become addicted, Spinning Jewelry is a fashion forward concept aimed at those who value their individuality. Spinning Jewelry is unique - in fact, it's just like you. The collection of Spinning Jewelry silver rings are designed to be "mix and match" by wearing several together. The appeal of Spinning Jewelry lies in its ability to unleash your creativity and flaunt your originality, whether that means pretty and dainty, with just one or two Spinning Jewelry rings, or bold and dramatic with as many as you can wear. The sterling silver Spinning Jewelry rings are available in 50 or so designs and are set with cubic zirconia, diamonds, pearls, coral or onyx. Some are engraved and others are enamelled. The more you wear the more the possible combinations of ever-changing Spinning Jewelry rings you will have and, at prices of £17.00 & £27.00 each or £65.00 if set with a diamond, you really can be an addict. Become a collector: buy any six Spinning Jewelry rings and receive a seventh from the £17.00 collection as a reward*. Just ask for a Collector's Card and have it stamped each time you buy. You don't have to buy them all at once but you do have to buy them from the same jeweller (well, why go anywhere else?).
