Honoring those brave men and women who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. To all who have served, and to those who continue to fight to keep us safe, we thank you for your service.
Perfect day to bathe one of nature’s beauties under the natural sun. This 7.60ct natural green sapphire is soaking it all in! Yes, sapphires come in every color of the rainbow, and green happens to be one of my favorite sapphire colors. The deep, rich hue, coupled with sapphire’s incredible hardness and toughness, makes this gemstone truly unique. This gem is $15,500, and while that’s not pocket change, fine green sapphires are still much less money than fine blue sapphires of comparable size, yet they are harder to find.

4 sapphires, 3 different countries of origin. While fine sapphires can be found in several countries across the globe, these particular sapphires come from 3 notable origins: Burma (the pink & blue ovals), Ceylon (the pink emerald cut) and Madagascar (the big green sapphire). We love shiny rocks and we have a fantastic inventory of incredible specimens from all over the world 🌎

Fun Fact: from 1979-1981, a flawless 1.00ct diamond cost 3x of the price of the same diamond today! That’s right, while today it would cost less than $20,000, the prices were TRIPLE during that time period, reaching as high as $60,000 😯. Why did this happen? In this video I’ll show you a fun estate I bought today for a lesson in diamond history.
☀️ What’s in the box?! Oh, just a little slice of the sun. Nearly 9ct Natural Fancy Yellow Diamond, VVS1 clarity. Sold, but not forgotten 🥲
Elusive. The yellow gold Rolex Daytona, reference 116508 with the stunning green dial is one of my personal favorites. This particular timepiece has experienced astronomical hikes in value over the past few years as the Rolex market continues to soar due to unprecedented demand and very limited supplies. On the secondary market, preowned versions of this watch are selling over $125,000 while brand new ones are fetching prices closer to $150,000. To put this in perspective, MSRP on it is approximately $38,000 but because they are so rare, you are not likely to ever find one from an Authorized Dealer and with demand continuing to grow, the secondary market prices are 3-4x MSRP. Will prices continue to rise or will there finally be some leveling off? Only time will tell.
When it’s sunny outside and you just can’t decide which diamond goes best with the weather 🤔
Already missing 😢. But of course, I had to get this Rolex Sea Dweller 4000 wrist shot before I left. This rare bird, reference 116600, was only produced from 2014-2017 and it is one of my favorite modern low-key Rolexes to wear. It’s truly rare. When it was released, this model sported a new ceramic bezel (a departure from the traditional aluminum bezel) and other exciting features like a beefier case and helium escape valve to protect it during deep sea dives. There is some really cool history behind this line of dive watches. In my opinion, this is still an underrated sleeper piece that is ready to jump in price. For now, they’re still a great value in the world of modern sport Rolexes. Oh, and we have 2 available 😉
Hey can we get your help with an internet-breaking spring jewelry shot? ✅ Yup, that’ll work. Some warm tones for warmer weather, green gems for St. Patrick’s Day ✅… yeah got those in there too - and plenty of diamonds to brighten the day💥 We’ve got you covered for any season and all occasions 😊
Boom! 💥 just over here playing with our new 8.5ct natural yellow diamond, watching it explode like the sun☀️! I often carry around new gemstone acquisitions after we buy them… like a kid with a new stuffed animal 😝. I just love admiring what nature can produce, finished off with the skilled hand of a master gem cutter. It never gets old. Appropriately filmed in front of our giant yellow diamond in our mural 🙌

Gone but not forgotten. This 8.5ct perfectly cut natural round diamond (GIA ###) found a new home! Thankfully it’s with one of our favorite clients so we’ll probably be seeing it from time to time 😅. We always have a huge range of GIA graded natural diamonds in stock for any budget and taste. Of course, we are also known for our big, spectacular and rare gems along with our expertise in this field. It takes decades to build this knowledge a lifetime to build a reputation and we must prove ourselves to you daily. And we’re here for it 🙌
“Hey Danny, what’s in the box?!”. Today we have an extremely rare, fine quality 4.81ct oval sapphire. Why is it rare? Well, aside from the size, quality of the color (bright, open, medium saturation, crisp blue) and clean crystal… it is from Burma and is no-heat. When a gemstone has all the ‘beauty’ factors in place, the gem’s origin, the geography where it was mined, plays a huge role in value. Sources such as Sri Lanka have historically produced huge commercial quantities of sapphires but other sources like Burma (Myanmar) and especially Kashmir, are known for producing uniquely fine qualities in scarce quantities. To a trained and experienced dealer, the nuances in appearance between sapphires from one famous source to another are what we live for. And to be able to demonstrate these special differences to our guests is what keeps us excited to continue to hunt for these treasures 💙
Just a quick pick-me-up to help you through the afternoon 💎. This 5ct F VS2 natural radiant cut diamond is that breath of fresh air that you didn’t realize you needed today 😉
Sheeeesh! The elusive Rolex Daytona ‘Panda’. Will they reach $100,000? Only time will tell. This time last year they were selling for less than $30k. Now, you can’t find a new one on the secondary market for under $52,000. They’re extremely tough to find but we have our sources 🤫 Yup, the market is white hot! What an incredible investment these have been. If you own a Daytona, your investment has grown nicely over the years. And now, these 3 beauties are going to their new home with one of my good friends who is adding to his ever growing Rolex collection… or should we say, portfolio 😉 For reference: MSRP on this model is $14,550. However, the demand is so incredibly high yet they’re virtually nonexistent at any Rolex store globally.
Sheesh! The elusive Rolex Daytona ‘Panda’. On their way to $100,000 a piece? If that sounds crazy to you, then $52,000+ would have also sounded like it would have never happened. Yet here we are. What an incredible investment these have been. Yes, it’s true that the Rolex market is hotter than ever but regardless of when you would have bought a Daytona in the past, your investment has grown. SUBSTANTIALLY. These three brand new Daytonas (reference 116500LN) are on their way to their new home soon 🙌
Everything is better with a touch of vitamin D, especially emeralds and diamonds 😉. This extraordinary, high jewelry piece features unusually well-matched natural emeralds from Zambia, surrounded by just the right amount of natural diamonds. 1 of 1.
“Hey Danny, what’s in the box(es)?!” Oh yeah, today is special - it’s a New Year’s countdown… but in carats 😉. Sit back and enjoy this little 10ct to 1ct countdown 🎉 🥂
Have I mentioned that we love color? I’ll leave these here for your viewing pleasure - natural rubies & natural cornflower blue sapphires are always great holiday jewel colors. In stock & ready for their forever homes 😉
Nails 💅 and rings 💍 looking fresh & sparkly. As longtime wholesale suppliers, we have one of the largest diamond inventories in Houston. Come for the ring, stay for the experience. Don’t be fooled by the Big Box retail stores that claim they get their diamonds directly from the source - most of these stores sell you on their story while their pricing is full blown retail and representative of their corporate structure with crazy high overhead expenses. We’re different, and for this reason, we’re making the big retail structure shake in their boots 😉

So not only will you have a memorable gift that has real value, but you’re helping save lives as well. Order yours today! Small Candle: $42 Medium Candle: $72
“Hey Danny, what’s in the box?!” On today’s episode, we have a classic stunner. This custom yellow gold solitaire has a pop of diamonds in the hidden halo underneath the gorgeous 3ct radiant cut natural diamond. We made this ring for a very special client, who is the cousin of a long-time personal friend. This particular client lives out of state and we were able to pull the entire off flawlessly. Yes, we can still help you create your perfect ring even if you’re not local to Houston. Enjoy the eye candy 😉
Jewel of the day! Our sales manager, Meaghan was staring at this $275,000 Paraiba tourmaline so we thought we’d share it with you. Let’s back up, YES, this is a $275,000 tourmaline! Why? Because Paraiba tourmaline, which is a copper bearing tourmaline that most famously comes from the state of Paraiba, Brazil, is one of the rarest gem types on the planet. While this particular 26ct gem has several inclusions, it is still so incredible rare that they command incredible premiums. Stop in and take a look - it literally glows from within!
It’s not often that my wife and I get professional photos taken together. So when @altorresphotography was photographing Iris for her feature in @houston_magazine and gave us the opportunity to sneak some pictures in together, we took advantage! Iris is an amazing Independent Fashion Stylist here in Houston and being featured in Houston Magazine for her talent is always such an honor. Thank you Al for making it such a fun shoot! Can’t wait to share the issue when it comes out!
Back by popular demand: Step-by-step guide to gold melting. There’s something about watching molten gold pour out of the crucible that is just so hypnotizing. Take a look at our latest trip to our gold melter as we take this week’s gold scrap to be refined and sold!
Fresh outta the shop! We’re loving every detail on this new custom ring, especially with this exquisite 5.12ct natural Australian black opal with all its colors and life. The pink sapphires on the halo really bring out the pinks, oranges and reds in the opal and the diamonds bring it all together. This is one of those pieces that I could stare at all day long!
“Hey Danny, what’s in the box?”. On today’s episode, we have an eye catching emerald cut natural emerald weighing 3.49ct set in a classic platinum ring with step cut trapezoid side diamonds. The center gem definitely speaks for itself in this traditional, timeless design.
“Hey Danny, what’s in the box?!”… oh, just a stunning A. Jaffe natural diamond eternity band with approximately 5ct total 😃 This shared-prong ring is quickly becoming a favorite because the open sides make highlight the diamonds while the low profile makes it extremely comfortable to wear. This ring can be made in a range of styles and diamond shapes. Come in and try them all on in person!

“Hey Danny, what’s in the box?”. Oh, just a casual pair of 14ct total natural diamond stud earrings 🤩 😳 🤯 And they’re lovely! What do you think: too big... or just right?
Today’s edition of, “Hey Danny, what’s in the box?”. Oh, yeah, just a little slice of diamond heaven that’s all. 3.48ct exceptional radiant cut natural diamond, F color, VS2 clarity (GIA report), set in platinum with half moon diamond accents. No matter how many diamonds we see every day, we still sit back and admire the beauty of these wonders of nature.
Emeralds have been on 🔥 lately! One of the many things I love about gemstones is that they can look different (either slightly or completely) depending on the lighting, background colors, the type of gemstones that they’re set next to and the metal that they are set in. This 9.21ct Zambian emerald’s rich, vibrant green color just explodes next to the super white diamonds surrounding it. Emeralds are one of the more difficult gems to capture on video because the color never seems to show up correctly so if you can imagine, it is even prettier in person 💚
