Some good news for people who enjoy a nice writing instrument: we are finally putting Montblanc into our Polo Park location. Coming in the next couple of weeks, we will have a full selection of Montblanc products to choose from. Having used the Montblanc StarWalker Platinum and Rubber for the last couple of years, I can say that these writing instruments are fantastic.

Helen Keller, is the celebrated blind writer and teacher. Never having seen a pearl, she nevertheless wrote the following:
“Once in a dream I held in my hand a pearl. I have no memory – vision of a real pearl. The one I saw in my dream must, therefore, have been a creation of my imagination. It was a smooth exquisitely molded crystal. I gazed into its shimmering depths; my soul was flooded with an ecstasy of tenderness. I was filled with wonder, as one who should for the first time look into the cool, sweet heart of a rose. My pearl was dew and fire, the velvety green of moss, the soft whiteness of lilies, and the distilled hues and sweetness of a thousand roses. It seemed to me the soul of beauty was dissolved in its crystal.”
What an amazingly sensitive and detailed description of a pearl seen through the “eyes” of this famous and thought-provoking blind woman. This passage most certainly reinforces the notion that a pearl evokes a sense of beauty inside and out.
This just in: One 4.00 carat Asscher cut diamond. If you want to see something absolutely extrodinary, you need to check this out. Give us a shout and come down to take a look. You won’t see anything like this anywhere else, I promise you.
Here is a picture of what an Asscher cut looks like.

Just so you know, pictures never, ever do diamonds justice.

He talks about the top 10 watches for graduation of which we carry numbers 10, 6, 5, 3, and number 1. Click here to read about these great watches.
Summer is here and many people are getting married! Congratulations!
There are many things to do when getting married, and one small, but very important document you need is a marriage license. Head down to either of our two location (Polo Park Shopping Centre or 493 Notre Dame Ave.) to get your license. Just give us a heads up so we can make sure somebody will be around for you when you come. A few things to remember before you come:
- Both of you have to be here in person.
- Each of you must bring a passport or birth certificate (or two other forms of identification together).
- If one or both of you have been divorced, bring the divorce certificate.
- If you’re widowed, bring the death certificate.
