I have a little secret. I have been experimenting.  I can’t tell you the results just yet but I can tell you that I am having fun.  What we have done is to build a new website.  Look for our sister site, www.adoredsilver.com to see just what we have been up to.  I love fine jewelry, but sometimes I forget that silver is fine, too.  So as an experiment we built a site featuring nothing but sterling silver products.  Adored has been up and running for about 6 weeks now and it looks like silver is just as popular as gold. We offer all silver, genuine gemstone and CZ stones all set in solid .925 sterling silver.

So my next decision will be whether we want to incorporate more silver items (we do have a little on here) into Donna T’s Jewelry or keep the two sites separate.  I will have to see what happens down the road. I can tell you that the same attention to detail and customer service you get on Donna T’s Jewelry will be yours on Adored.   Got comments, suggestions? Let me hear from you.

I just got a brand new batch of ring guards and no one else has them!  Donna T’s Jewelry is the first to carry these gemstone wraps in oval shapes and in precious and semi-precious gemstones.  We are starting with a few sapphire and blue topaz wraps as they are the most popular.  But check back as we are adding rubies, emeralds, pink topazes, mystic fire topaz, amethysts and others.  If you don’t see what you want just ask…it can probably be done.  Donna T’s Jewelry wants to be your first and best source for ring guards!

I can’t believe we are almost at Valentine’s Day! Didn’t we just take down the Christmas tree?  Well, if you have not quite recovered from paying for your Christmas presents, you will want to check out Donna T’s Jewelry for some affordable gifts for your sweetie!   Don’t worry, guys, I know what she likes and we are here to help you.

Diamond and gemstone wraps, guards and enhancers remain our bestsellers.  If she got a simple style diamond solitaire she might want to dress it up a little.  We have the best prices on some popular and some very unique enhancers.  She can add sparkle with a diamond enhancer or add color with our gemstone enhancers.  Why not add both?

Also, black and colored diamond jewelry remains very hot this season.  Have you seen our adorable little black cat necklaces.  They are so cute and so popular!  Other black diamond jewelry includes hearts, circles and rings.   We also have the popular Eiffel Tower and the peace sign in black diamonds! She will love them!

When it comes to quality and affordability, Donna T’s Jewelry is an excellent choice!  And we are even offering free priority shipping!  Take a look at what we have to offer!

Whew!  What a great Christmas season!  Just as I predicted, colored diamonds were all the rage this year.  Seems like we couldn’t order them fast enough!  So guys, you know Valentine’s day is only about 6 weeks away.  If you didn’t get her colored diamonds for Christmas, this would be the perfect opportunity!

If you DID get her colored diamond jewelry and want to go with something different for Valentine’s Day then you will love our big selection of clear diamond and colored gemstone jewelry.  We are bound to have her favorite gemstone.

In addition, we have added a new category to Donna T’s Jewelry; Inspirational Jewelry.  In it you will find beautiful diamond and gemstone crosses  or other religious pieces set in solid white or yellow gold.  Plus, we have added a few select items in .925 sterling silver.  One of our best selling items is the stunning silver bangle bracelet stamped with her favorite Bible scripture.  She will love it!

Have questions?  We are here to help!  We have added live chat to help you.  Of course, you can always email us anytime.  Let us help you make Valentine’s Day one she will remember all her life!

I really cannot believe another Christmas season is just around the corner.  Didn’t we JUST pull down our Christmas sales page?  Pretty soon all of your favorite items will be on sale.  That means your best selection is available RIGHT NOW, before things are picked over.

The hottest trend for Christmas 2009 is colored diamonds.  We have some beauties in blue, brown, yellow and black!  Another popular trend is the peace sign.  They are everywhere!  If you really want to impress your friends check out our peace sign necklace in black diamonds!  It’s gorgeous!

But not everyone is into the latest trends.  Some ladies like the sentimental favorites like hearts, circles and journey necklaces, earrings and rings.  We have those, too.  And we are pretty confident that you won’t find similar quality at a better price than at Donna T’s Jewelry.  So don’t wait until our most popular pieces are sold out.  Find your perfect gift tody!

As I read up on improving business practices, I see over and over again that a business should figure out what their niche is and what makes their business better than the other guys.  I have been pondering that question a lot lately.  Why would anyone choose to buy from Donna T’s Jewelry instead of one of the “big dogs”?

There are a couple of good reasons.

First of all, we are a small, family run business.  There are just four of us.  We are not a huge corporation with hundreds or even thousands of employees.  More than likely if you ask a question of this company, you will answered by the owner, not a rep that is unable to make final decisions.  We aren’t too big or impersonal to give personal attention to each and every person! Yet, we are large enough to be professional.  We know jewelry and we have shopped around to find quality fine jewelry at good prices.  Our merchandise comes from some of the top manufacturers in the country.

Also, because we are small we do not have a huge overhead that forces us to charge more for our jewelry.   We can keep our prices lower than the mega corporations with large buildings and huge payrolls can.

Don’t trust one of your most special purchases to a huge corporation that treats you like a number.   Let Donna T’s Jewelry help you find the perfect jewelry item!

If you have a special lady in your life that loves sapphires you couldn’t pick a better time to get her some sapphire jewelry! We have a large selection of gorgeous sapphire jewelry.  We have whatever you need!  We have sapphire earrings, sapphire rings, sapphire bracelets, sapphire necklaces.  We even have a beautiful diamond and sapphire engagement ring in both pink AND blue sapphires.  We even have colored sapphires.  We’ve got you covered with the perfect gift we are sure she will love!

Yep, we have joined the social revolution!  Now you can find Donna T’s Jewelry on Twitter and on Facebook!  Want to get the latest info on our new products or sales?  You will find regular posts at some of these more active social places.  Become a fan of Donna T’s Jewelry on Facebook by going here:

See you there!

Donna

We just got back from market last week and WOW, did we ever find great deals!  Over the next 2-3 weeks you will begin to see the latest styles in fine jewelry!  Of course, brown has been very popular this past year and continues to be this year as we head into fall.  So look for lots of brown quartz (you may also see this stone called Smokey Topaz although it is actually quartz).  The brown quartz has been paired with some beautiful stones that will complement most fall fashions.  We have a stunning brown quartz and pink tourmaline ring that I am betting won’t last long!  Its yummy!

But brown isn’t the only popular color this fall.  Black diamonds are all the rage!  We have several cool items with black diamonds such as right hand rings, pendants and earrings!  You know, they say black goes with everything!  It even goes with brown!  Look for some beautiful rings pairing black diamonds with cognac (brown) diamonds.  The look is fantastic!

Check back often as we continue to stock our “eshelves” with new merchandise.  I would be mighty surprised if you didn’t find something you love!

Get ready!  We are about to post one of the biggest sales we have ever had.  Remember back in March when we lowered all of our prices?  Well, we are about to have a sale on our already lowered prices!  We are not doing this because sales are not good.  They are fantastic!  We are doing this because it works!  We are beginning to purchase new inventory for Christmas 2009.  It seems too early to even talk about that but it will be here before you know it.  So you can get a steal on some of our merchandise that has been here for a few months.  This is nice, new merchandise, too!  Be watching.   We don’t usually advertise anywhere but to our customers.  So you will probably get the best selection.

As always, thank you so much for your business and for allowing me to continue to do what I love!
