Tag: David Craig Jewelers
Visit David Craig Jewelers and expect to be dazzled. Our stunning collection of diamonds and gemstones can be custom designed into the kind of engagement ring that totally stands out from the crowd. While about 80% of our engagement ring business still features diamonds as a center stone, we know that many folks today may not want to follow the patterns of previous generations. They may want a ring that’s slightly less conventional.
The Center of Her Universe
In a 2021 survey of 5,000 couples on the wedding planning and inspiration website The Knot, 10% of readers responded that the center of their engagement ring featured an eye-catching precious gemstone instead of a diamond. Brides magazine threw in their two cents with their list of beautiful diamond-alternative center stones, like sapphires, amethysts, rubies and names you may not have heard of like moranite (a feminine pink stone) and moissanite (similar to a diamond).
Iconic Royal Ring
Kate Middleton wears a gorgeous 12-carat sapphire engagement ring surrounded by 14 solitaire diamonds. It’s the dazzler that previously belonged to Prince William’s mother, Princess Diana. The ring is reportedly reminiscent of the blue sapphire brooch surrounded by diamonds that was gifted to Queen Victoria by Prince Albert. Queen Elizabeth inherited the brooch which is thought to have inspired this famous engagement ring.
Says David: “Why not show off your favorite colors, or your birthstone and let us custom design an engagement ring that really expresses who you are?”
Stop into David Craig Jewelers and let us show you some of our gorgeous gemstones. We can help you build an engagement ring around a gemstone set on your choice of precious metals—white gold, yellow gold, platinum – anything goes! Call today to set up an appointment: 215-968-8900.
According to the American Gem Society (AGS), pearls have been a symbol of beauty and purity for centuries. Here are five pearl facts you might not know:
- Political Pearls? From Martha Washington to Kamala Harris, and Queen Elizabeth across the pond, many world leaders and their spouses love pearls which seem to be synonymous with fame, glamour, power and beauty.
- Not Just Your Mother’s Pearls One of today’s hottest celebrity looks, pearls have recently been featured accessories seen worn by folks like Billie Eilish, Gigi Hadid, Dua Lipa, Demi Lovato and even Harry Styles.
- Variety Galore Pearls are available in single, double and seemingly endless strands, in chunky or delicate styles, in pendants, earrings and more.
- Lustrous Colors Sure, you know they come in white, cream and beige. But pearls are also popular in pink, chocolate, blue and even black.
- Natural Versus Cultured Since Kokichi Mikimoto first created a cultured (cultivated) pearl in the 19th century, nearly all of today’s subsequent pearls are generated with his technique, “seeded” by hand and produced by oysters or mollusks.

Jewelry appraisal isn’t just about replacement value, although insurance replacement appraisal is surely one of the important reasons customers come to David Craig Jewelers so they can properly protect their jewelry. The appraisal value reflects the cost of replacing your cherished item. For new items, the insurance replacement value will basically reflect the price of the merchandise sold.
Other Main Types of Appraisals
Fair Market Value appraisals represents the jewelry in its current condition, not what it was worth when new. These appraisals are valuable for estate tax purposes, gift tax donations, IRS/Treasury Department and other U.S. government purposes. Fair market value will often be lower than the insurance replacement value. Liquidation Value appraisals are rarer and don’t necessarily reflect the true worth of jewelry under normal circumstances. These appraisals are more common in divorce settlements or estate liquidations.
Jewelry Appraisal is Different Than Jewelry Grading
A jewelry appraisal can provide you with anticipated value in today’s market, providing overall details of your cherished piece. The grading report verifies and examines the authenticity and details associated with just the gem in a piece of jewelry, not the value. Diamond grading reports, for instance, are common when purchasing engagement rings and tell you all about the diamond based on the 4Cs (cut, clarity, color and carat).
Choose the Right Jewelry Appraiser
Finding a great jewelry appraiser is well worth the research so you can be sure you know exactly what your jewelry is worth especially if your jewelry gets stolen or lost.
Make an educated choice by choosing David Craig Jewelers for your jewelry appraisal needs. David’s an award-winning member of the International Society of Appraisers and an international gem stone authority who is sought for his knowledge and expertise on the appraisal and value of fine diamonds and jewelry. He’s an American Gem Society (AGS) certified gemologist appraiser and a CAPP (certified triple appraiser of personal property.
Diamond experts like the folks at David Craig Jewelers work with grading systems that help customers better understand exactly what you are purchasing.
Diamond Grading 101
There’s no doubt that purchasing a diamond engagement ring is a big decision and a very emotional one. Back in the 1940s, the folks at the Gemological Institute of America (GIA) realized how confusing diamond purchasing could be with value seemingly subjectively compared. They developed a standardized system that would once and for all provide best practice guidelines that all professionals could use. Since then, natural born diamonds (from the earth, not laboratory grown simulations) are assessed in four categories – those famous 4cs you may have heard of: Cut, Clarity, Color and Carat weight.
Diamond Cut: While the GIA grades diamonds with a scale of 0-10, the American Gem Society (AGS), another powerhouse and reputable source for diamond certification, labels stones “Ideal” on down to “Poor.” Shape refers to the outline of the diamond as you look down at it. It’s just one aspect of the diamond cut. The quality of the cut is what gives the diamond its brilliance. The more proportional the cut, the greater the brilliance and sparkle. A great cut captures light and reflects it back spectacularly.
Diamond Clarity: Clarity grading differs between the two key gemological institutions, the GIA and AGS, with GIA using more of an alphabetical system and AGS using a numbering system. As one example: An “IF” rating from the GIA is the same as a “1” from the AGS and indicates a diamond that has no inclusions visible at 10x magnification with insignificant surface blemishes.
Diamond Color Grading: Like diamond clarity, the AGS makes it easy with numbers running 1-10. As an example, a “5-6” rating signifies small stones that appear “face-up,” colorless when mounted, with larger stones tinted. The equivalent GIA category is a “J-K-L.”

We just want to show you that tons of energy and thought has been put into comparing diamonds to make sure that an excellent diamond from one jeweler is still an excellent diamond as seen by the next.

According to Holiday Insights, romance is really in the air in August as we celebrate Romance Awareness Month this month. We’d thought we’d really get into the act by offering you:
- According to some cultures, rain on your wedding day is considered good luck. The idea is that a wet knot is harder to untie. Other superstitions relate wedding day rain to fertility, the last tears the bride will ever shed, (wouldn’t that be nice?) and general positive stuff ahead. (The Knot)
- Knives are considered bad luck to give as wedding gifts. But you apparently can circumvent the negative vibes by asking the recipient to give you a penny so that the knives will seem to be “purchased.”
- Between 2008 and 2016, the median age for first marriage rose about two years to 28 for women, 30 for men. (U.S. Census Bureau)
- A more equal division of responsibility counts when it comes to peace on the home front. More than half of Americans surveyed said that sharing household chores was important to maintaining a successful marriage. (Pew Research)
- Ancient civilizations thought a veil would protect the bride from nasty evil spirits. According to present-day historian Susan Waggoner, the veil represented the “delivery of a modest and untouched maiden.” The tradition of wearing veils continues today although only as a beautiful accessory. (Brides)
- Engagement rings may have originated in Rome as a sign of ownership. Diamonds became even more popular as engagement rings in 1947 when the advertising slogan “A Diamond is Forever” was penned by De Beers copywriter Frances Gerety. (De Beers)
- The most popular month for getting engaged is December, while the summer months lead for wedding ceremonies, followed by autumn. (Glamour)
- Bridesmaids originally wore dresses that were similar to the bride’s to keep evil spirits from knowing who was the real woman getting married. Eenie meenie miney mo? (Southern Living)
- The tradition of wedding cake toppers may have originated with Queen Victoria. She commemorated her wedding to her beloved Prince Albert in 1840 by commissioning mini sculptures of the couple to adorn the wedding cake. (Martha Stewart)
- 61% of guys discuss engagement rings with their girlfriends before actually buying the ring. (Brides)

As a National Guard recruiter for Bucks County, Nick Brinckman is used to enlisting recruits with heartfelt persuasion and, of course, simple facts. But it obviously didn’t take any persuading at all to convince Lauren Steele to agree to marry him. And the simple fact was that he loved Lauren and knew she felt the same about him.
Nick, a self-titled “military brat” who attended Council Rock High School with Lauren, moved to Florida junior year and graduated from Mariner High School in Cape Coral, Florida before joining the army. Lauren graduated from Council Rock and went off to college. Fifteen years went by.
Fast forward to 2016. Two divorces and five children later (three for him, two for her) the two met up again in Bucks County thanks to mutual friends. This was something special. Nick knew he wanted to marry Lauren, but also recognized that blending two established families could be challenging. He sought approval individually from all five children. “They all thought that asking Lauren to marry me was a great idea,” Nick recalls. Nick also spoke to Lauren’s mother, sister and even visited Lauren’s deceased father’s gravesite to express his intentions.
The Ring
Nick took Lauren into David Craig Jewelers to have her finger sized for what she assumed might be a holiday gift.
“I wanted a local jeweler, someone who had a great reputation and loads of experience,” said Nick. “David was really friendly, as were his staff.”
Nick returned to the store weeks later and, with David’s help, picked out a beautiful one-carat round diamond. The stone would sit in a cushioned cut bezel setting in 14K white gold, all designed by David.
“David is just an extremely nice guy and was willing to answer any of my questions and offer advice without being forceful,” said Nick.
Nick thought Christmas vacation holiday 2017 would be a great time to propose when he, Lauren and their children would be together at Camelback mountain. On December 29th, under the stars, with the warmth of a fire to help illuminate the sparkle in Lauren’s eyes (and the beautiful diamond he pulled from a gift box!), Nick asked Lauren to be his wife. Lauren, a NICU nurse at Abington, enthusiastically said yes, or to be exact, “Yes, a thousand times yes!”
A wedding date has not been set. We send our best wishes to this great couple and their children.
According to Forbes magazine, the coveted gold medals being handed out at this month’s PyeongChang Winter Olympics only contain about 6 grams of 24-karat gold. The rest of that medal weight comes from sterling silver, with the medal’s overall value worth about $570 in today’s market. But the awards going to these elite athletes aren’t the only gold objects that aren’t “pure,” and for very good reasons that don’t necessarily include price considerations.
Your Precious Metal Mix
“Pure” gold is 24K or “karats,” a purity measurement that shouldn’t be confused with the “carat” in a diamond which actually refers to the weight of the stone. That 24K ring, at a degree of purity of 99.95+%, might sound prestigious. But the reality is that rings made of pure gold will bend and scratch much more easily because pure gold is a softer metal.
Most wedding bands and engagement rings are probably 14k (58.3% gold) or 18K (75% gold) which means that the gold is mixed with other precious metals to add strength. These rings contain a bit less than 60% gold in order to hold up better with less signs of wear. They’re a perfect compromise for appearance, price and durability.
Gold-plated jewelry means a thin layer of gold is applied (bonded) on top of a base metal such as copper. Gold-plated jewelry will show wear and tear since, over time, the thin outer layer of gold fades and tarnishes. Gold-Filled is a name that’s a bit misleading since the “fill” or core is actually brass, copper or occasionally silver. A thicker gold layer (at least 5% to be considered “gold-filled”) assures longevity of up to 30 years.
A Rainbow of Colors
Yellow Gold is combined with alloys like copper and zinc to add strength. White gold is often combine with palladium, nickel (the nickel makes it harder; palladium is a softer metal) or silver and then covered (plated) with rhodium which gives it the whiter color. Both yellow and white gold can be good for long-term and constant wear.
Silver looks like white gold, and, while less expensive, is a softer precious metal and may tarnish over the years. That’s why “white” wedding rings, which are usually worn daily, are made of white gold or platinum (a rarer metal that’s even more expensive than white gold) instead of silver. “Rose” gold contains copper – the more copper added the stronger the “red” look of the gold.
We could go on and on. If you’re interested in finding your perfect piece of gold jewelry, come on in and speak to the experts at David Craig Jewelers. There’s David himself— he’s got a HEART OF GOLD— and a whole team of certified consultants —they’re also veritable GOLD MINES of information!

On a balmy summer day in 2015, marathoner Matthew Myers stopped into Moishe and Itzy’s restaurant at Summit Square, Langhorne for a yummy respite after a run.
Afterwards, Matthew decided to head down a few shops for a peek into the nearby David Craig Jewelers for a look at their engagement rings.
Even without the added “happy” endorphins from running, Matthew immediately knew this was the place he would make his important purchase for the love of his life, Laurie Heusner.
“I had looked at different jewelers, and knew I didn’t want a chain store – I wanted a more personalized experience and David Craig Jewelers seemed like the perfect place,” says Matthew.
He purchased a sapphire ring (Matthew’s birthstone) surrounded by diamonds on a white gold base. The vibrant blue color also matches Matthews eyes – a reminder for Laurie of his commitment to her. The ring is overall “understated” since he knew Laurie wanted something more “low profile.”
The couple had started dating in 2013 when they met through friends when involved in a marathon fundraiser. Matthew proposed August 1, 2015 and the couple were married one year later on August 12, 2016 at Connecticut’s Mystic Aquarium (be sure to check out the “guest mammal” in the photo!). Mr. and Mrs. Myers now live in Langhorne. Laurie works at Swarthmore College, and Matthew for the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection.
Matthew’s white gold matching wedding band is highlighted by an aquamarine gemstone, Laurie’s birthstone. All rings were custom made and designed at David Craig Jewelers.
The couple also purchased wedding gifts for each other from David Craig – a Citizens Eco-Drive watch for Matthew from Laurie, and a diamond and aquamarine bracelet from Matthew to Laurie which also served as her “something new” at the wedding.
“I highly recommend David Craig Jewelers,” says Matthew. “David (Rotenberg) and everyone else there was so very helpful and clearly listened to us to make sure we got exactly what we wanted.”
In 2012, Kelsey Wilhere, from Langhorne, and Dennis Lynch, from Levittown, were introduced to each other by a mutual friend.
At the time, Kelsey was a student at Penn State Abington and Dennis was studying at East Strasbourg University.
After graduation in 2014, the two moved to Las Vegas where they both began their careers, Kelsey as a kindergarten teacher and Dennis teaching 8th grade health. The couple discussed marriage and knew it was in their near future, but Dennis still wanted the proposal itself to be magical.
Dennis had visited David Craig Jewelers after hints from Kelsey who had already perused rings in the Bucks County, PA store. Says Kelsey: “I used to babysit for Joanne Jeuch*, (an Accredited Jewelry Professional for David Craig Jewelers), and had actually visited her at the store, so I had a good idea of the kind of ring I would like.”
In the summer of 2014, Dennis decided to pop the question in front of about 100 people gathered for a party for Dennis’s mom’s 50th birthday. “Kelsey wanted to include family and friends in all steps of our adventure,” said Dennis. “So,
after giving a speech in honor of my mother, I got down on my knee and surprised Kelsey by proposing in front of the group —people who meant a lot to both of us —which seemed the perfect time.”
The couple were married June 23, 2017 in East Windsor, New Jersey. They still reside in Las Vegas.
“I only get my ring (a dainty, princess-cut center diamond made and designed by David Craig Jewelers) cleaned when I return back to this area. I trust them all at David Craig and everyone is so personable—David always shakes our hands, asks how we’re doing and you know he means it,” says Kelsey.
“You really get a good feeling when you walk through the door,” agrees Dennis.
We wish Kelsey and Dennis happy holidays and best wishes as they complete their first year together as Mr. and Mrs. Lynch!
*Kelsey’s ring, as further explained by Joanne:
“Kelsey’s ring is set in white gold. The center diamond is flanked on each side by a round diamond. The shank of the ring is set with ten additional diamonds, five on each side, that are graduated in size with the smallest diamonds closest to the center three stones. It’s a beautiful, delicate creation that perfectly suits Kelsey. Plus, for her wedding ring, she chose a pair of curved diamond bands that fit up against her engagement ring on each side.”

Don’t Buy Diamonds Where You Eat Your Dinner
It has recently come to our attention that some jewelers are illegally selling Forevermark diamond jewelry in local restaurants and other places of business; basically not in a jewelry store. For starters, these merchants DO NOT have a legal mercantile ID# and are therefore selling these diamonds illegally by using the restaurant location.
