Jeweler's Corner

You found the perfect dress, but do you need something else to complete it? Have you thought much about your bridal jewelry? It may seem like a small detail, but it’s an important one that shouldn’t be left until the last minute. The options are endless and will depend a great deal upon the neckline of your dress and the hairstyle you will have on the big day. But there are a couple of other things that you may want to consider.

What did your mother wear on her wedding day, was it your grandmothers’ pearls? If you are still looking for something borrowed, you may be able to work that into your jewelry selection. Or perhaps you have a close relative that you would like to remember on the big day, borrowing a piece of jewelry is a great option. The metals don’t necessarily need to match on all the pieces you choose to wear, just make sure that the items all match your personality, that’s what really counts. If you find that you have the perfect family piece to wear but it needs a little work, don’t worry. The professional team at Amoskeag Jewelers can help restore a family heirloom to like new condition. Stop in today and let us help check off one more thing from your to-do list.

Many people are wearing kinetic or solar powered watches. These watches were represented to them as never needing to have the battery replaced. While that may be true for some people, it is not always the case in every situation. Even watches of this kind will eventually need service to keep running. Some of the many watches that may fall into this category are:

Seiko Kinetics

Seiko Solar

Citizens Eco-Drive

Bulova

While it is true that you will not need to annually replace the battery in a kinetic or solar powered watch. Eventually these batteries will lose the ability to store power. The capacitors can also wear out and stop charging the batteries. These are two things that can commonly happen after 7-10 years of use or if the watch has been in storage for some time. If you have a kinetic or solar powered watch that has stopped working, stop into Amoskeag Jewelers today. Our helpful professional team can replace both watch batteries and capacitors to keep your watch running smoothly.
