Here’s a clever ad that is being featured in Playbill at Baltimore’s Hippodrome Theater right across the street. We figured that the show Stomp would be the perfect venue for this “Sell Your Jewelry” ad. A big thumbs up to David and Garth for a job well done!

Downtown’s Snowed, Says Baltimore Business Journal, But We’re Open!
Boy did we get snowed this week! As soon as we had gotten ourselves out from under the first blast, Tuesday comes and hits us again. We even had to close on Wednesday and last Saturday! The Baltimore Business Journal was not above noticing the adverse effect this may have on businesses, including ourselves:
Ron Samuelson, owner of Samuelson’s Diamonds in Baltimore, said shoppers are maxed out after Christmas shopping already, and doesn’t expect to gain a lot of Valentine’s Day business. Samuelson recalled the weekend in December before Christmas Day, when snow hurt retailers looking to gain from the last-minute shopper.
“Now it’s a double whammy, and downtown is pretty bad,” Samuelson said. His West Baltimore Street store was closed Wednesday.
Last Saturday was the first day Samuelson had ever closed the store, he said.
Undaunted, though, we’re back! And our Fans on Facebook may have heard:
we’re open for business. the main roads are fine so come on down and say hi, free beer and MAJOR discounts if you do!
We’re just sayin’ – if you’re in the ‘hood, don’t be shy. And if you’re not in the neighborhood, there’s really not much else to do once you’re done digging out.

Guys in Baltimore have it made. Stop by Samuelson’s Diamonds, and you don’t even have to miss a moment of the big game–if the Ravens are playing, rest assured the game will be on. Owner Ron Samuelson is a third-generation jeweler running his family’s business, first established in 1922. With the business in his blood and decades of experience, he knows that guys don’t need any additional pressure making their purchase decision. Samuelson believes that a buyer should “deal with real people they’re confident in” and “buy from an established jeweler.” If for some reason you need to buy online, he suggests that you “buy from an outlet that also has a brick-and-mortar presence. Work with a company that will still be around in five years.” If you’re nowhere near Baltimore, Samuelson can help you remotely; visit his website to contact him: www.samuelsonsdiamonds.com [now www.baltimorediamonds.com.]

JCK Magazine Names Ron Samuelson “The Most Unromantic Jeweler in America”
According to JCK Magazine, the world’s most popular jewelry trade publication, our very own Ron Samuelson could be the most unromantic jeweler in America. Here’s what they had to say:
Ron Samuelson may be the most unromantic jeweler in America.
“We don’t sell strictly on romance,” he says. “[Samuelson's Diamonds] gives you good values. We’re real guys and we talk and educate people about diamonds.”
For Samuelson, buying a rock is a sensible decision. “Diamonds are a commodity, and that’s what [consumers] should be taught. Getting engaged is a special time in someone’s life, but diamonds are also a product and have value in the marketplace, and that’s what we should be telling people. Consumers are getting over fancy-schmancy brands; people are over the blue box and want to get a good deal. I think that most guys who are buying a diamond engagement ring are not as concerned with romance as they are with getting an honest deal.”

Even the French don’t buy into that romance stuff!
If you have done these things with your wife or girlfriend, give us a call – you’ll need to get her some diamonds to get you out of the doghouse!
